IS SAD. I ranked equally as an expendable red shirt! *bursts into tears* I do like red, why must it be so strongly and positively correlated with expendable-ness? I guess Elizabeth and I are in the same basket, then. [I'm not ashamed to say I bought a red shirt just to be like her, I am that much of a geek]

PAUL MCGILLION WAS IN THE STAR TREK MOVIE?!
For all of three seconds, apparently. And I missed it. *woes*

Vampires.
I've been listening to the Kings of Leon track Closer [download here] on repeat the last few days. Fantastic moody song, but just sounding good isn't enough for me, I like to know the lyrics so I can a) sing along and b) ponder deep thoughts about the themes and metaphors and so forth.
I really hate it when bands don't include lyrics with their albums, I think that the amount of money they charge for a CD should cover the damn words to their songs. *frowns* There are a lot of conflicting verses on the internet and I can't figure out which one's right. Considering my family has been mocking me since my childhood for messing up the words to Macy Gray's Try ['I try to say goodbye...to my chook'. *facepalm* I love chickens, it didn't strike me as odd that someone would write a song to one! I was a kid, okay? Shut up!], you can understand why this might bother me. I am paranoid about being the butt of the joke, it's my mission in life to avoid this humiliating fate.
ANYWAY, I was really surprised when I found the popular opinion was that it's about vampires. I guess lines about running from the sun and bleeding people dry should've maybe given me a clue, but it's damn hard to figure out what the singer is saying, okay? I just love the horror movie theme and what a creepy vibe it has. *shudders delightedly*

Anyone read the Vampire Diaries books? Apparently there's talk it might be turned into a series. I haven't read it, so maybe I shouldn't judge but I am sick to death of stupid selfish teenage girls and their desperate attempts to hook vampire lovers and frakking mind-blowingly lame-ass love trianges. The show's been promoted with the premise of 'vampire brothers and their girlfriend'. Oh, whoop-de-frakking-do, how thrilling. A girl that can't choose between two vampires, this is the backbone of the show?! *gags*
If you want to read a great vampire series, try Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy. Original, exciting, and oh, look, the main relationship that's sustained over the three currently published books is the one between the heroine, Rose, and her best friend, Lissa. I just love that there is some female friendship being highlighted here, as well as romance and UST. For some reason, authors tend to treat snagging a boyfriend as the be-all-and-end-all in life, like having a close and loyal friend isn't important. Because all females care about are guys, y'know.
Bonus- there is actual plot in these books, small things like handling peer pressure and depression, and large-scale things like uncovering conspiracies and fighting bad vampires and all that jazz. Rose is a kick-ass chick, she has an actual personality [no bland, vapid Mary Sue is she] and many strengths as well as believable flaws to ground her in reality, plus? She is pretty damn funny. I was so into the books that when I found out I had to wait a few weeks for the library to get it in for me, I ended up going and paying for one! This is how awesome they are!

Lyrics
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
I Make Them Good Girls Go
Good Girls Go Bad
Good Girls Go Bad
I Know Your Type
Your Daddy’s Little Girl
Just Take A Bite (One Bite)
Let Me Shake Up Your World
Cause Just One Night,
Couldn’t Be So Wrong
I’m Make You Lose Control
She Was So Shy
Till I Drove Her Wild
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
When Hanging In The Corner With Your Five Best Friends
You Heard That I Was Trouble
But You Couldn’t resist
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
Leighton:
I Know Your Type
Boy You’re Dangerous
You’re That Guy I‘d Be Stupid To Trust
But Just One Night Couldn’t Be So Wrong
You Make Me Wanna Lose Control
She Was So Shy
Till I Drove Her Wild
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
I Was Hanging In The Corner With My Five Best Friends
I Heard That You Were Trouble
But I Couldn’t Resist
I Make Them Good Girls Go Bad
Good Girls Go Bad
Oh She Got A Way With The Boys In The Place
She A Looka Don’t Stand A Chance
Leighton:
And He Got A Way With The Girls In The Back
And Looking To Hot To Dance
Oh She Got A Way With The Boys In The Place
She A Looka Don’t Stand A Chance
Leighton:
And He Got A Way With The Girls In The Back
And Looking To Hot To Dance
Leighton:
I Was Hanging In The Corner With My Five Best Friends

It's like an ode to Chuck Bass, zomg! Leighton talks about her upcoming album and GUYS, I am seriously psyched for this. The only thing better would be her and Ed Westwick doing a duet together! Can we have a musical episode of Gossip Girl, pretty please?!

Yeah, he was but it was a really minor role. From what I heard it was more minor than we all anticipated it to be. (I haven't seen it ... but will!)
I still think he was the best for Scotty (though I'm sure the guy that guest starred in Doctor Who did fine, name I forgot), cause I saw a picture of the original actor (name also escapes me) and I could see resemblance. Also, he was even endorsed by the original actor's son. But alas ... :(
And I was reading one of your comments, and wtf .... Chris Judge was in Snow Dogs!? I only saw that movie on tv, like a year ago. **feels stupid**.

... and then Buffy staked Edward. The end.
That's a quote off a tee that says all I have to say about the newest wave of vampire novels. This tragically-suicidal-girls-trying-to-hook-vampire-lovers reminds me of the Wraith Worshippers in the SGA fandom who insist that the Expidition are the interlopers and had no right to disrupt the Wraith who are "just trying to survive" and insist that Todd -- the exception to the rule -- proves that the Wraith are really just misunderstood. *snort*
Vampires and Wraith choose to eat people instead of finding an alternate food source. Unless you happen to be talking to one with a soul (Angel, Todd, Carlisle), stake the bastard. Problem solved. Because even if YOU want to die, the next person the vamp chooses to munch on might not.
Nevermind the obvious social commentary issues involved in portraying the heroine as a woman with no wish to live who masochistally falls in love with a man who wants to kill her. It's like creating the Future Abused Wives Club of America.
