Project Runway Season 10 Winner

I am so happy with how this year's Project Runway season turned out. My favorite guy won, so of course that makes me happy. Dmitry Sholokhov  was kind of blah in the beginning but then started getting more interesting later in the season.

His outfit for the Rockettes challenge 

I noticed something terrible in episode 13, where Tim Gunn goes to everyone's place and critics their work a week before the fashion show. Going to Melissa's , Fabio's, and Chris' houses he heard "This is my family, and this is my boyfriend!" and had tea with a big crowd. Which I have to wonder if that was a requirement or something, some sort of hidden rule "When Tim Gunn visits, serve tea!" But when he went to Dmitry's house it was just him, all alone. And he revealed this:

And drank tea with just him and Tim.

I must say though, for the final show, his styling was terrible in my tastes, but I LOVED his outfits. Especially his last one.

It helps to put your finger to the screen and cover up her face.

I found an awesome interview  from after it was publicly announced he was the winner. Yay Dmitry!

Firefly IS awesome!

So I have heard from various geeky sources that firefly was the best show that ever existed and it's a damn shame that it never got picked up for a second season.

The main character was also Captain Hammer from Dr.  Horrible's Sing Along Blog, which , by the way, is a pretty good comedy with Neil Patrick Harris as the main character. Though be warned, it is a musical/comedy/TRAGEDY genre, meaning something really sad happens... Which made my boyfriend hate the ending and think that the whole thing just plain sucks...I still like it though.

Example:


But I never really felt like going out and finding a way to watch it and was weary of watching a new series because series usually have a lot of episodes and I know I wouldn't be happy with not finishing it. Also what if I feel in love with the show and then was left hanging with questions that were never to be answered?

A year or so after finding out about the show, I found it on netflix. Without anything to watch, boyfriend and I decided to give it a try....AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!


The story line follows a captain and his "ragtag crew", as netflix calls it, as they find (usually illegal) jobs of scavenging cargo and then selling it on the black market. They claim that they do regular jobs too, but I don't think it ever shows any in the series.

The setting is in the year of 2517, and the planet "The-Earth-That-Was" (you may know it by it by it's current name, Earth) was used up, so they found a new solar system and terraformed the planets and moons to support human life. The group called The Alliance decided that all the new planets should be under one rule, but the group of people who didn't want that, called The Independents or "Brown Coats", fought back causing a war. The first episode starts with the war, introducing the captain and a woman of his later to be formed crew. Most of the series takes place about 7 years after the wars, excluding some flash backs and the like. The alliance won, and now the central planets are the more rich and technologically advanced, and leave the outer planets with not so much technology or money.

It has the perfect level of humor, and the right type! I loved all of the characters and was so interested in the story line  They could have had an episode about filing taxes and I would have loved it! Of course it would most likely be perfectly dramatic and dangerous taxes that would reveal a little more about the characters. Basically they had some lovely ingredients that they mixed together and baked into a wonderful show.

Thankfully, a few years after the end of Firefly(2002), they made a follow up movie called Serenity(2005). It wrapped things up to a satisfactory level for me. I very much recommend this series!

Summary of the 1st Part of the Original Sailor Moon Series (Episodes 1-13 Roughly)

So my boyfriend and I decided to be nostalgic and watch he original sailor moons series. When have been laughing our asses off about how silly some of it is.

Their main villain to defeat (that they don't really know of) is called Queen Beryl and all she does is tell her very incompetent worker, Jedeite, to get some energy from the humans on earth, (apparently, solar power was too mainstream.) while she stares at an unexplained ball that doesn't seem to serve much of a purpose, and waves her hands around it.

"The evil I am doing!"

Then the clever Jedeite will come up with a 'brilliant' plan and wear a disguise worse than team rocket.

Normal Jadeite 

Disguised Jedeite about to do some evil stuff.

Usagi or Serena (depending on if you watch it in english or japanese) will then accidentally end up in whatever evil plot he made up, figure out something is weird, then un-aerodynamically throw her tiara disc.

Then everything is fixed!

 After being defeated he is always surprised at how this great plan went wrong and queen Beryl scolds him and tells him to do better next time.... she must be too busy with that ball to realize the probability of him succeeding isn't very high. I wonder what he did before he was failing on earth.

And who the hell are all these guys in the background??
