Happy Thursday everyone!
Today I can't really pick one specific book/movie/cd to talk about. It probably has to do with the fact that I'm fighting off a cold and I've had a lingering headache for the last two days. The brain cells have ceased proper functioning.
In the last few days, the weather has gotten so much cooler! For California standards, at least. I think it's still 85 degrees most days. But, I'm wearing caprees and 3/4 sleeve shirts now, so that means that AUTUMN'S almost here! According to the calender, it's been fall for a few days now, but if you live in Cali, or have ever visited, you'll know that there are two temperatures here: Hell, or Antarctica. In between these two is the happy medium that we get for about a month between Spring and Summer, and Fall and Winter. What does this mean for me? Well, I now sleep with the fan off or on low speed, and the air conditioning doesn't turn on during the day!
Besides the nice weather, Fall also brings the return of my favorite television shows! In the last two weeks: Bones, NCIS: LA, NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds, Survivor, New Girl. I guess I'll do a mini-review for each one, seeing as I didn't pick a singular topic for today's post.
Bones: So nice to see Dr. Brennan back! I'm definitely liking the direction she's taking towards independence after returning. Last season was a bit rough, and I lost interest at times (there was no sexy tension between Bones and Booth anymore - something I was worried about happening when Season 7 premeired), but Season 8 is off to a good start as far as I'm concerned. The first episode's cliffhanger was strange in that the producers didn't even mention it in episode two, so we'll see when it will pop up again.
NCIS: LA and NCIS: I have to say... I was not impressed with the season premeire of LA. I was so confused by all the twists and turns that I tuned out fifteen minutes into the show. The chemistry between all of the characters just wasn't there, and I miss the old team dynamics. I'll hold back on final judgement until the next few episodes. Regarding NCIS, it's currently playing as I type this. Hopefully it's better than LA! I forgot about Ducky; I had a mini heartattack when the first scenes started playing.
CSI: This one is in a similar position to NCIS: LA. It was confusing and I didn't pay much attention. I'm glad that Russel's granddaughter is safe though. I'm a sucker for happy endings.
Criminal Minds: One of my favorite shows, and I'm so glad that it's back! I miss Paget Brewster as Emily Prentiss, but the new agent is interesting enough. She comes off as a snob, but I'm sure I'll warm up to her eventually. I have a tendency to do that with characters like her. She'll redeem herself in some way, I'm sure! I'm personally just happy to see Dr. Reid again; he's been my favorite from the beginning.
New Girl: Jess is still cute, and it's a funny change to see her turn from happy-go-lucky to neurotic mess. Schmidt steals the show for me, though. His humor is great and I love that he can make fun of himself.
Survivor: I haven't watched this one yet. It's our one family show, and we haven't been able to find the time for all of us to sit down yet.
There are still more shows yet to premeire! Life is becoming interesting again (I sometimes question my mental status when fictional characters are more interesting than real life). Some shows of note are: Once Upon a Time (I still have to finish watching it on Netflix. The last few episodes of Season 1 never recorded on my tv) on October 1st and The Vampire Diaries (started watching on Netflix; it's my new guilty pleasure! This one will eventually, most likely, get it's own post) on October 11th.
That's it for today! If anyone has any suggestions for tv shows that I've missed, whether they are on Netflix or normal networks, let me know!
