1. Cinema (Julianne & I watching "Avatar")
2. Caffeine (Drinking more iced tea than we probably should at the Cheesecake Factory until 11.40 at night)
3. Chemistry (Yep, we did our AP Chem homework at dinner. We are just that awesome)
4. Cold (Beautifully cold and windy outside. A truly lovely day to be out and about!)
5. Cairde (Irish for "friends")
6. Craic (Irish for "fun')
Full review on "Avatar" coming later, but for now, I'm exhausted!

Roswell! Oh, and Happy December :)
This started out as a comment on Tay's reveiw of Roswell (found here), but it got so long that it deserved it's own post.
I have to start out by saying that I've only seen the first seven episodes, so if I say anythng glaringly strange, considering how the show ends up, well, that's my excuse.
~Katherine Hiegl is brilliant
~The show is VERY unique. I've never seen anything quite like it before, even in the other scifi shows (Stargate, X-Files) that deal with the Roswell crash.
~Julie Benz's character, the guidance counselor/FBI agent is probably my favorite so far. Her drop-kicking the creepy sheriff has got to be my all-time favorite moment so far! Although, since I know her mostly as Darla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I always get creeped out whenever she's with any of the kids alone. I feel like she should be trying to eat them or something! :P
~I love how all the shots are set up to focus on the characters. It's very clear that they, and not the surroundings/action is the main focus. There's interesting uses of reflections/lens flares, not exactly normal, but then again, the whole premise of the show is that life is abnormal.
~Maria deLuca is one crazy amazing friend. Czechoslovakians, anyone?
~I love how Max just looks like a normal guy. No super-hottness, no idealized view. Just a normal kid I'd like to hang out with. That's so rare in shows, especially those targeted at the teen age group.
Overall . . . I am liking this show very, very much! I'll put up a recap at the end of season 1 with my final thoughts, it'll be interesting to see how my views have (or haven't) changed.
And finally . . . happy December you all! Make it an awesome last month of 2009!! :)
