May. 21st, 2011 11:29 pmPerhaps inspired by watching the Smallville series finale last week after not having watched the show since 2003, I caught up on a few other season/series finales today. The Office, which I stopped watching regularly about a year ago, was kind of charming. NCIS was not very interesting case-wise but aww, I will never not love these characters (I also watched the "Baltimore" episode, which yay, flashbacks!).
I watched the latest episode of House, and I kept watching the whole way through like a masochist even though it was one of the most painful House-watching experiences I've had, oh my god D: ( spoilers )
And THEN I watched the Brothers & Sisters series finale. I haven't watched the show since mid-season 4 and didn't even know it had been canceled, but when I read that the series finale aired I had to watch. Aw, Walkers. I do love that family. ( spoilers )
In continuation of my vague squee at Grey's Anatomy yesterday, if you want to see what I was excited about -- mainly smart, well-written, wonderfully acted (&Sandra Oh;) scenes about abortion -- I am posting the relevant scenes under the cut. Spoilers for the season 7 finally, obviously. ( Cristina Yang fiiinally )
Sooo... I think that's all about TV. Well, I also watched this week's Glee and like Jane Lynch a lot. and that's really it. Which means I can move on to movies:
Yesterday I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Um, that's basically all I have to say about that, actually. I was disappointed. I loved the first movie, enjoyed the two sequels, and this movie was meh enough that I actually nodded off near the end, and I don't think I was that tired. The music and stunts were cool -- I think Pirates is one of the only movies that still have those kind of old classic action-adventure kinds of stunts that are perfectly choreographed and inventive and just plain cool, with costumes and settings and music that just sweeps you in for those few moments. But then the plot happened, or "plot", idek what that was to be honest. One thing I can say with absolute certainty is that the 3D is entirely pointless and I hate that they are making me pay 10 extra shekels for movies these days ugh :/
On Thursday evening I went to my boss's wedding. It was fun and sweet and I danced like I have not danced since Club Vivid. Some of my coworkers got utterly sloshed but I did not drink more than appropriate for driving, which I slightly regret. I'm not a huge fan of alcohol, which is also why I don't like spending actual money on it, but there was a free bar and good company and had I planned it otherwise it would have been an opportunity to drink some more. But whatever, I had fun. For those of you who are maybe interested in how these kinds of Israeli weddings go, here is how it went: ( wedding in points )
And oh, one last thing about the wedding -- one of my coworkers, an Israeli French (sweet married-with-kids-)dude, was looking really sharp in a white pressed shirt and nice black slacks. When I mentioned this, the girl next to me murmured, "You should see the pictures of him online". So I did. Why hello there.
