Yeah, so watched Prince Caspian last night....

Season 1 ended last night. Ohhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyy goddd!!!!

I'll try to make justice to it..

Right.

So. What happened previously was that the ATF investigated SOA. There was this mad guy who was stalking Tara - she calls Jax and he kills the guy.

But the other ATF agent (this superbly bitchy woman, played by Ally Walker) is determined to bust the club.

Opie is keen to get back in to the club, although his wife Donna is opposed to this. So, Opie and Bobby are sent to get rid of a federal judge - Jax being the lookout. The hit goes wrong, with a girl seeing the shoot through her window and identifying Bobby and Opie.

Sooo. Bobby and Opie are arrested, Opie is later set free - but not before the ATF have framed him for an informer! Clay thinks that Opie has turned on the club, and decides to make arrangements to get rid of him and blame it on one of the other gangs.

They plan this for the night of Jax's son's homecoming party, but it all goes dreadfully wrong and Donna ends up dead instead.

So - the finale starts with Opie going mad with grief over Donna. He does not know that Clay ordered the hit, only people who know for sure are the Chief Police and his Deputy - and of course Clay and Tigg (who did the  dirty work).

Jax suspects that Donna died because of something to do with Clay, though does not suspect that he directly ordered the hit.

Piney (Opie's dad) goes off to the Niners (the gang Clay is blaming for the hit) to settle the score. Jax intervenes, and they find out that Niners had nothing to do with it. Jax starts to suspect an internal job....

So, he goes off to talk to the Chief, and Kyle (the deputy) tells him that he suspects Clay ordered the hit. Jax confronts Clay who denies everything.

Jax does not believe it and goes off to think about things.

The episode ends in Donna's funeral, where Jax openly spurns Clay and Gemma and goes off to grieve at his father's grave. Piney finds him there and gives him a copy of his dad's diary - Jax was unaware that anyone else knew about it -- let alone had a copy. Piney tells him 'it's time for a change'....

Oooohhh.h....

I cant wait for s2 - it will air first week of September.

eek.

It's just so insanely busy at work these days, combined with the boss' insistence that no 'fun' internet (read NOTHING) is allowed during working hours... and then when I get home I simply dont have the time or the energy to write any more. Oh well. Let's see if I can keep up this time.

SO, sophi_e and iinu have gone back home. It feels so very empty in the house now, I got used to having teenagers lounging around. Even the hubby said he got to play parent for a month and enjoyed it! I hope they really do come back next summer, and after that - who knows. But sophi_e bought wayyy too much stuff, so she had to leave like 7 pairs of shoes and various clothes and souvenirs round my house! At least i have a valid excuse to keep her coming back if I conveniently forget to bring everything... :D

Looking for a new job now, getting tired of this place. Well, that may be not right. Not so much tired of the place as the job itself. I am tired of working 9 hours a day for not a lot of money and not actually achieving much. What makes it worse is that the person who does mostly the same thing I do, but for the private sector is getting a lot more money. For example, we are both entitled to 1% of departmental sales, he private and I public sector. But when the private sector makes an average of 40K a month and the public sector 10K...the discrepancy starts to show. And I am tired of never being home before 7.30 in the evening, I am tired of not having much of a social life (well, life of any kind really) because I am always home late and have to be up early the next day again.

oh well. Onto happier things.

Did I tell you I have gotten hooked up on yet another TV show? It's called True Blood and it's (you guessed it) about vampires. It's kinda different, in that the girl is telepathic, can read everyone's mind except the vampire's - who happens to be smooth, good looking and nice! So far there's a lot - a LOT - of sex, quite a bit of gratuituous violence and blood-sucking, which technically can be regarded as sex anyway. So nice. :)

And Sons of Anarchy continues, I think there's another 3 episodes or so to go for this season, I know they are showing s2 in the States now, so hoping we don't have too long to wait. That's really all I ever watch on TV these days, does not seem to be much else decent on.

Started FFX the other night, when I's bf was over, he is apprently a massive fan. I had forgotten how good a game it is, and how much fun it is to play. Racked up about...20 hours of play or so (it don't matter really anyway), just about to finish the Macalania Trials. Then there's a long stretch without Yuna in the desert and then the Calm Lands. That will be fun. Also played a lot of Oblivion over the weekend, am now head of the Thieves' Guild, on my way to the top of the Mages' and started the Assassins' as well. I like that game you know, only thing is it's so bloody addictive!!!!

Guess that's it for now, I promise - promise! to keep at this more frequently.

So here I thought, brilliant single, hot video - they're good but at the expense of any credibility as musicians, they're just gonna be marketed as another pretty-boy rockband. Boy,  I have rarely been so glad to be proven wrong! Not only did SOF reach no 1 in the charts, the album did as well. And the follow-up single too. And so on.

Got the chance to see them live last December, it was the best live show I have seen. Usually, your average pop/rock concert's headliner plays for about an hour, maybe 15 songs or so. Not these guys. Full 90 minutes, 20 songs + 6 encores. Also, you could see that they actually enjoyed performing.

There was a balanced feel to the show, everyone has their own role and their chance to shine. Look at Jared for example, the guy is what - 23?, brilliant bass player and really does hold his own. Caleb of course being the frontman is by default the most extrovert of the bunch, but he does not steal the limelight from the others, quite the opposite - he purposefully recedes to give room to others. Nathan is an extraordinarily talented drummer, but he is also the eldes brother and a very commading figure. I would go so far as to say that Nathan and Caleb seem to enjoy spurring each other on, and that makes them better performers. My favourite though is Matthew. Not only a cracking guitarist, he seems to be the balancing force in the band. Maybe it has to do with being a cousin rather than a brother to the others, I don't know.

I have the chance to see them again in June, simply cannot wait.

Obessed, me? Never!

Difficult not to. I didn't really watch it the first time round on TV, so wasn't sure what to expect. The first couple of episodes were nice, but when I really got hooked was the one where Michael and Maria went on that roadtrip and you sort of knew that they were going to be together at some point. The whole Max-Liz romance is a little too sickly for my liking, I'm not a fan. And the whole Max-Tess scenario... well I always thought she was a bitch!

I can't help but compare this with Smallville, which I also have on DVD (seasons 1-7). Clark in Smallville is just a little too naive, he doesn't seem to have an actual life you know, whereas these teens are a lot more believable.

Last season to go now, a little apprehensive, as then there won't be any more! Well, guess I just have to watch it all over again then won't I :)

When Soph-ie comes round again in the summer, we can watch it together and compare notes!

What I have eaten today:

1 rasberry yogurt

1 cup of coffee (milk, one sugar)

one M&S prawn-layer-salad-thingy

1 Kinder egg

Not a lot actually, and have been doing super well with the coffee intake too!

I have spent exactly £12.35 today - bit more than usually, but this includes the train ticket. Speaking of which, it's a fucking disgrace that SE trains charges me £4 just for the trip between London Bridge and Lewisham - I mean what's that all about? Just because I'm on a schedule tonight I paid it, but next time I won't.

Trying to wean myself off carrying a bag around, simply cos I will fill it with crap anyway, so been carrying around just essential stuff - here's what's with me today (so far):

iPod

Oyster card

Keys

Purse - contents of which are:

phone

Chapstick (apple flavour)

paperclip (wtf?)

rubber hairband

£12.86

stamps

train ticket

debit card, nectar card, body shop member card, GAME member card, Starbucks card, a Borders giftcard

numerous receipts

My god woman, you call these essentials? Jeez, that's ... a bit much I think.

Oh and yes, I obviously don't have any work to do today :)

Finished Roswell season 2 last night, that was like the most tragically romantic episode ever! 'There's a lot about you Maria...but the best thing is you're so open. When I look in your eyes, I see you', ' Do you even love her? Not as much as I love you'.. oohhhh  *swoon*.

Honest to god, I think I am regressing, I am so totally obsessed with these teenage-superheroes-but-still-highschool-kids type of shows (see Smallville). Michael is my favourite character, I think Max is just too... I don't know, too controlled maybe. Michael is the one acts on impulse and messes stuff up because of it, but he's just oh so very nice!
