Date: 2006-10-20 02:43 am (UTC)I know! Josh/Donna was probably my first big 'ship obsession. *nostalgic* I've seen the first 3 of Studio 60, and i REALLY like it. I love the Matthew Perry/Bradley Whitford dynamic - they're so sweet. And, oddly, Amanda Peet doesn't piss me off. Usually she does, but i really like her character in this.
I think this (The Office) is the fastest i've ever gotten obsessed with something. It's fairly disturbing, but it seems to be a fairly common occurrence ;) Oooh, dvds. That's next on my list.
Ooh, commerce? Yikes. :P Wow, i'm not graduating for ... ever, really. Two years until i finish my undergrad, and then there's 4yrs of grad and ... there's and end somewhere, i'm sure. *laughs*

Date: 2006-10-20 02:57 am (UTC)Josh/Donna WERE my first big ship. Love! MP and BW together sound like they would be awesome. Saw a clip of them together when they were doing a set tour thing, and they were just hilarious. Oh, Brad. Lots of people seem to have gripes with Amanda Peet, but I've never really minded her. Oh, should I ask about your spoiler policy too before I talk some more?
Was the first time you had watched an episode seriously when you were in Melb and Emily got you hooked?? Because, yep, that's pretty intense! Even I worked up to it a little. DVDS ARE LOVE! [commentaries are love!]
Heh, that was me being pragmatic! And I'm talking about undergrad too - I'm thinking of doing some postgrad stuff, but just want to at least finish something!

Date: 2006-10-20 03:12 am (UTC)I think the WW set must have been so amazingly fun to work on, they were such an awesome cast. Allison Janney wins at everything. She needs to get a new series, cause i'm going to miss seeing her every week. *mopes* (Also, Victor Garber - i miss my spy!Daddy.)
I'm not even sure why i didn't like Amanda Peet, i just ... had a thing. Maybe she was in something else and i didn't like her? Who knows. Hah. My policy? On spoilers? They are ♥ ♥ ♥
Um. Em brought the dvds to the hotel, and we watched the first one probably ... early afternoon Saturday. And i was instantly hooked, and we watched the entire second season in one long run. I started downloading eps Sunday afternoon, and had everything by the end of that week, i think. So, fast. Super super fast ;) (Commentaries? Please tell me there aren't cast commentaries, cause if there are i'll have to go and buy it right now.)
I wish i'd been pragmatic. I was more ... procrastinate-y. I could be halfway through med-school by now if i'd just stopped assing about. *curses* Still, i'm getting there. It's all good. That's me trying to be optimistic and not panic about how fucking old i'm getting ;)

Date: 2006-10-20 03:22 am (UTC)I know!! I love casts which clearly love working with each other [same goes for The Office] I thought I heard a rumour that she was going to do a comedy show - and didn't VG have a new legal show or something? Ha, could I be more vague?
Heee!! That's my policy too! I was just going to mention how they are writing in AP's pregnancy into Studio 60 plot - interesting...
Heeeeeeee!! Seriously?? That is awesome. Awesome, I tell you! And ha, um, there are cast commentaries - 10 in total. Some better than others, but basically, so so so good! Jenna and John are awesome when they are together too - teaser. [I think commentary for the Client or possibly the Secret... Jenna: And then we made up. John: Made out? Jenna: Made up. That's another episode] Me? Obsessed? And 2 hours of deleted scenes, including some heartbreaking Jim scenes from The Client and Booze Cruise [eeep, he has to make a toast for Roy and Pam] Yep, I could go on for hours. Seriously.
But I've never really known what I want to do. Gah. Most of my friends are almost graduating with their med degrees! Yay for optimism! And hee, I think I'm about the same age as you, so I can relate...

Date: 2006-10-20 03:47 am (UTC)Oh really? *intruiged* Omg. Allison Janney rumours that i HAVEN'T HEARD?! What is up with the world? I heard something about Victor being in a new show, but i never actually saw anything.
Um. Omg. I'm a fuckwad. It's called 'Justice', and it's been on for ages. I'm so observant. And hey, Kerr Smith! Hee.
AHHHHHZOMG CAST COMMENTARIES. You should NOT have told me that. I'm the biggest cast commentary whore EVER :| I'll be ordering them tonight. Someone needs to create a community where you can download commentaries :(
It took me forever to finally admit what i wanted to do. To myself, that is, most of my family/friends still don't know. I'm not big with the sharing. *denial* Omg, we're old. Lmao. It doesn't bother me so much until i realise that i'm sitting in class with a bunch of 17/18 year olds. *sigh*

Date: 2006-10-21 05:42 am (UTC)I thought it was for a CBS comedy or something, but I don't think anything came of it since pilot season came and went... Yep, Justice was the one I was thinking of. Oh, have you seen any of Ugly Betty? I keep reading good things about it.
Heh!! I adore cast commentaries like nothing else. Gah. And The Office ones are so awesome, so I hope you got busy with the ordering. Mmmm, John Krasinski leads the cast in singing the theme song. Nuff said.
Heee. Yeah, mid-20s. How did that happen?? And yes, that's when I feel oldest! Or when I'm working with 15 year olds at work asking about my love life. Heh. Good times. Um, I think I'm going to have to comment on some of your latest posts so that I stop spamming your FO post!

Date: 2006-10-21 10:37 am (UTC)Omg. I cannot tell you how much i LOVE cast commentaries. The Alias s1/2 commentaries? Seriously THE BEST THING EVER. Totally better than the actual show. *laughs*
Mmmm, John Krasinski leads the cast in singing the theme song.
Um. OMFGFTW. I won't be able to order them for a few weeks! I had to fork out a bunch of cash for stupid stuff today, and now i'm completely broke. *cries and cries and cries* Maybe i can bribe Brooke and get her to burn what she has until i can find the cash to hit amazon ;) MUST HAVE NOW. I have finals coming up, i need something to save me :|
Oh i KNOW. I'm sure i was 16 last year. I've been doing a lot of introspective 'omg how did i get here what have i been doing for the past 10 years?' type thinking. *frowns*
Hee. But spamming here is upping my comment count! So people will be like, 'whoa, she's so popular, i must friend her immediately'. *snort*

Date: 2006-10-21 11:21 am (UTC)Heee!!! Alias season 1 finale commentary = ♥ ♥. SO much. VG randomly disappearing. Michael Vartan talking about how his stubble irritated Jennifer Garner's face and he had to shave? Awesome.
*pets* You'll get them - and if you get them post-exams, all the more time to indulge in them, guilt free! And seriously, I'll just keep randomly blurting out commentary stuff because it is all so awesome. Heh.
Yeah, I do that introspective thinking in small doses or else it will just completely freak me out.
HA!! Good point. Don't say I didn't warn you...

Date: 2006-10-21 11:41 am (UTC)Brad Whitford was in that movie? You mean i have to watch that movie? Goodgoddamn.
OMG! And everyone mocking VG about his lack of prop ability in the s1 finale. That was so fucking funny. And then Getaway(?)in s2, with Greg mocking MV about his after shave. *snort*
*grabby hands* WANT NOW. I sooo have no patience when it comes to stuff like this. Lmao.

Date: 2006-10-21 01:30 pm (UTC)Ha! He plays America Fererra's dad - and it's all girly angst, coming of age - you know the drill. But Brad is still gorgeous, and well, he wears tennis shorts. Ha, just to grab your attention :P
Heeeeeeeeeeee!! Yes. 'Kay, so have to watch again now. Along with everything else.
Patience?? What does that word even mean in relation to fangirling? *cannot comprehend*
no subject
Date: 2006-10-21 01:52 pm (UTC)I'm tempted to run back up to the other house and get it. Lmao. It's such a nice little movie. Actually, now that i'm thinking Meg/Tom i want to watch Sleepless. Heh. It's only nearly midnight, i could totally watch both ;)
Lmao. Patience sucks! It's what is forced upon lowly fangirls who have no money. *pouts* I'm going to go console myself with Casino Night :P
no subject
Date: 2006-10-22 09:49 am (UTC)Tell me you got some sleep - have we had this conversation before [has it really only been like 4 days since I first talked to you?]
Heh. Casino Night is my idea of the perfect episode. Seriously. Love. And Jen icon! OMG, we haven't even started on House!Love....
