Every time Mr. Mroz says 'my older son' (he says it like "m'older son") I think he's saying 'Mulder's son'. Oh my Lord, and I haven't even gotten to the William episodes yet.
We need to have a snow day tomorrow, because if we don't, I will be sad. Also, if we are in school tomorrow, we'll have blocks Wednesday and Thursday, but if we're not in school tomorrow, we won't have blocks at all this week. PLEASE OH PLEASE SNOW DAY.
Seriously though, everyone around school is acting like it's a done deal- even the teachers, who usually are all, "There's no snow. There isn't going to be snow. Shut up about the friggin' snow." Mrs. Best says that even if school isn't cancelled, she's still not coming in. Gotta love that dedication, huh?
Jenny and I got our weekly dose of snark in watching The Saddle Club this evening. The best quote was from the show itself, no add-ons from us:
Some Kid: "Mrs. Reg says she's having a foal."
We were screaming with laughter. Obviously, they don't mean Mrs. Reg herself was having a foal, but that's what it sounded like, even in context. Oy vey.
And the best quote from one of us was from about the middle of the episode we were watching, when Lisa was all, "ZOMG appendicitis!" in the middle of nowhere, rolling around on the ground and clutching her stomach... so, in an effort to get the apparently dying Lisa on her back, the horse she had been riding gets down on the ground like he's going to roll and 'offers' her back to Lisa- and Jenny goes:
"Hey everybody, guess who I am! 'Ohhh, owww, my stomach..."
Because the horse totally wasn't trying to help, he was just making fun of Lisa by imitating her. *nodnod*
Hee. We're such dorks.
The title quote I used for this entry, by the way, comes from yet another Saddle Club episode- and it's so bizarre because, of course, 'Veronica and Kristy' is three words- not one or two.
*sigh* D'you think they realize that their show is this stupid?
It was utterly preposterous. And I thought Hollywood AD (which was funny at times) and X-Cops (which could have been good if they'd gotten rid of the Cops) were bad. Oy friggin' vey. *headdesk*
I did finish the season, though. Could The Cigarette-Smoking Man have died in a more anti-climatic way, though? I mean, seriously- Krycek pushed him down a staircase?? C'mon. (Though, this is the X-Files... ten bucks says he didn't actually die- just like Mulder, who "died", like, five times.)
(This entry should probably be a continuation of my last entry, which was crap, but I don't care.)
I'm most likely going to buy The X-Files season 7. Oy vey. I initially planned on only buying the first six seasons (all of which I had by the beginning of last summer) because those were the Noromo seasons, but... I kinda need my Scully fix. Even if it's post-season 4!Scully. And I know that Donnie Pfaster comes back in one episode, so I want to see that, because of teh angst. *is so mean and wrong*
I don't know. The first season is my favorite, no contest, but I love the second and third seasons as well. But after that... I *enjoyed* almost all of the episodes (all that I've watched- I'll admit to having skipped Travelers in season 5 and... whatever the talking tattoo one was in season 4- I'm having a brain fart; I forget the name), but they just seemed... different, you know? Seasons 1-3 rocked (as previously stated), and season 4 was very good (Paper Hearts and Elegy being two of my favorite X-Files eps of *all time*, not just in that season- all my other favorites are from the first three seasons), season 5 was good, season six was a little better than season 5 (sort of)... but meh. I still need my Scully-fix.
But speaking of Scully, she *does* change after... I want to say after season 4 ends, but there is a little bit of different-ness in the fourth season that I've noticed. She gets a bit darker, and more sarcastic. And her hair changes. I liked it way better in the earlier seasons. In my personal canon, I've chalked this up to the effect Emily's death had on her (Emily's death, by the way- and I know I've mentioned this, but- it was a totally wasted storyline. Oh my God, Chris Carter, I'm disappointed in you), which has somewhat helped me 'understand' this change (And All Souls = love; I don't care what you say).
... Yeah. I've been watching a bit of the sixth season recently (Arcadia today, Trevor a couple days ago- and by the way, I would just like to say that as an adament Noromo and a former skeptic that the 'Mulder and Scully go undercover as a married couple, UST and innuendo abound, wheee!' plot would ever amount to a hill of beans, I would just like to say that I thought Arcadia was pretty good- especially for post-season 4. It could have been so much worse- believe me, I anticipated it.), and apart from episodes like Rain King, which was utterly ridiculous, I generally enjoy it.
Seasons 7-9 are going to totally blow the money I've been saving, though. But that's the price you have to pay.
(I'm so dwamatic.)(No, that's not a typo.)
There was an ewok in my desk a couple of weeks ago. Winnie the Pooh sat next to me in class, and behind me, on a clothes horse, hung Cinderella's dress, a Jedi warrior robe, and Aladdin's magic carpet. Strangely, I wasn't delusional.
In our school, French/Spanish I and II levels have their annual language plays in the spring. French/Spanish levels III, IV, and V have theirs in the fall. I am in French III. Our class did Beauty and the Beast. I was a narrator, had only one line, and thus got to spend most of the time watching the insanity unfold. It was awesome.
In an effort to include everyone in the class, Madame had to assign more than one person to the big parts (Belle, the Beast, etc.)- thus making scene changes absolute hell. Especially because the three/four Belles were all sharing one dress (um, wearing it over their clothes). I believe at one point Madame actually had to explain that to the audience; they were taking so long. And the parents were all, Oh, yeah. We know. We've been through three years of this.
To make things more crazy, we didn't do such a great job preparing for this play. Most of the class was pretty shaky on their lines (yeah, me and my one line included- sad really), and this lead to some really awkward scenes with the actors just standing there, not really knowing what to say, before shuffling awkwardly offstage, effectively skipping half the scene. I heard stories of French IV kids who, when the forgot their lines, just randomly started spewing out nonsense in French that probably, translated to English, sounded something like, "Do you bicycle in pool yesterday is red?" "Oh yes, I love the snowboarding camera!"
Perhaps the strangest scene in our play was when Belle is chased through the woods by wolves (aka chased across the front of the classroom by sophomores holding paper wolves-on-a-stick). Instead of getting his wolf, Gabe (maybe accidently, maybe not- I'm betting not) grabbed one of the flying monkeys from French IV's Wizard of Oz play and used that instead. So Belle was chased by three wolves and a flying monkey. Enough said.
Yeah. So. That's about it. And we're doing it all again next year.
... I can't wait.
(Just in case you were wondering, the (stuffed) ewok and the Jedi robe were from a French IV Star Wars play, the Cinderella dress was used by the Belles in our play, Aladdin's carpet was from French IV's Aladdin, and the Winnie the Pooh... he wasn't for anything. He usually just randomly sits on top of the cabinet next to my desk.)
Fairly soon, I am going to go watch "Indians in the Lobby" to see if I can find a quote to use as my title/opening statement for my Ameri Lit essay (about the portrayal of Native Americans in Romantic Era literature). I'll credit, of course. Using a quote to open an essay is an awesome idea, which I totally stole from this random kid who graduated a few years ago. Yeah. But not only does it take up space (*cough*), it's creative and innovative, too! (Well, not really, considering people do it all the time. But, you know, still.)
But by using a quote from "Indians in the Lobby", I'll be spreading the West Wing love! w00t!
Oh yeah, and House last night (episode: "Something Judas". "Finding Judas", I think)? Poor Cuddy. I was like, "Awww..." the entire time. The opening scene with the laser pointer was funny, though. (Told you I had the maturity/sense of humor of a prepubescent boy.)
In other news... I'm going to see if I can't catch Bones (a show which I have never before seen) at 8 tonight. The little blurb about it during House-commercials last night sparked my interest. Something about an alleged ghost-which in the woods, I think- it sounded very X-Files-ish. Hee hee.
