I have a sudden and over-powering urge to buy lots and lots of Stride gum.

Clarifications and Boredom
Mar. 14th, 2008 06:07 pmLast night was kind of random and awesome; I went to Elizabeth's to try and watch Smallville, but bad things happened and it was preempted by the SEC Tournament. So I went home and we watched it at 12:30.
Oh holy crow. It was INSANE. They've done product placement on that show before but... this was insane. Pete (one of my favorite characters from back when I actually watched the show with some semblance of seriousness) came back and gained superpowers through chewing gum. It was INSANE. Every five minutes, they'd be all "STRIDE GUM!" Then there was the thing with "One Republic"--some band I've never heard of but is apparently unremarkable--being EVERYWHERE. Lex is trying to kill Pete? Why not do it on a balcony underneath which is a GIANT CROWD OF PEOPLE IN A STRIDE GUM FACTORY LISTENING TO THIS BAND?
The awesome mockableness of it all was beautiful. I believe that if Dean ever goes to hell, it'll be to Smallville. Which is totally a way to explain S4 of Smallville. In case any of you were hoping for a crossover, there it is. Dean goes to hell, and has to date Lana for a year. Then is pushed off a cliff and shot. AND SURVIVES. Whenever I tell anyone about the crack that is Smallville, I always tell them about the day Jensen's character survived through sheer force of pretty. Ah, good times.
So. Where was I? Oh yeah. My bitterness and boredom. I was supposed to meet up with Sabrina to sew and dye hair today but it didn't pan out. So I'm hoping for tomorrow. Course, this means that I'll have to read some Machiavelli tonight if I'm hoping to not fail school spectacularly. So there's that.
To add to my pain, the sides for 3x14 came out today, so naturally I know the title and basic premise. Because my ability to stay spoiler-free is totally null when I'm confronted with the possibility of pretty boys. Plus, the title? You can't learn that title and just be okay with not knowing what the episode is about. I don't think we've ever had a title that WTF-y. Just saying, is all. :)
So hopefully tomorrow will be better, in a batman-cape-and-pink-hair way.
