I have just cried my eyes out on an NCIS episode. That hadn't happened since... oh, wait. That never happened before.
This season is so awesomely, wonderfully good, it boggles my mind. Last season had been dreadful, season before that, mediocre. Now, they're back to the top form, best since season two, if not best ever.
All the crime shows are difficult to pull of after a while, there's only so much you can do with making the Case of the Week interesting and novel. Once in a while you can fuck with the format of the series and pull it off splendidly (CSI had some great episodes of that, for example, the Lab Rats last season was brilliant), but you can only do that a few times. In your third, fifth, or ninth season, you really have to rely on the characters.
And NCIS fucked that up last season, in my opinion, making some abysmally weird character choices (even Tony was annoying me. I love Tony, how could he annoy me?), but this season? Every damn character gets a moment to shine, and yet it doesn't feel forced. The ensemble works like a damn good piece of music; they keep working each other up, and annoying each other, and making fun of each other, but you see the love and trust and how good a family they are (also something that I love about My Good Boyfriend Show: CSI:NY). And it's so amazingly funny, the dialogue flies and oh my, Tony and Ziva and McGee worked up a fantastic banter camaraderie, I'm loving it. (I also love the shows where everyone makes fun of everyone regularly but it's never mean spirited: How I Met Your Mother, for example, or again, CSI:NY)
I was on the verge of giving it up this season, to be honest. God, that would have been stupid.

The most awesome show on TV.
Dec. 22nd, 2008 05:13 pmI am all caught up on The Sarah Connor Chronicles now, and I don't think there is a better show going on at the moment. I think it might even be winning with CSI:NY in my heart, and that's something.
It's smart and kickass and awesome and it makes me flail and it makes me think and it makes me hunt thinky meta and fics.
And the best part is, I adore every single character and I don't ship anyone. It's brilliant.

Jun. 23rd, 2008 02:39 pmThank you all for the good luck wishes yesterday, they helped greatly :)
So.
Thesis defense: 5 (which is the Polish equivalent of an A)
Final grade, which is an average of thesis defense exam, all exams for the last three years, grades from teaching practice, grade for the thesis, and grades for Practical English: 5.0
NO, SERIOUSLY, I apparently got 5.0 average.
I will go away now. And squee happily in the corner. *hugs all*

weekly csi:ny squee (4x18, Admissions)
May. 1st, 2008 03:05 pmI love all my tv shows (on the current count, I'm watching 23 of shows that do still have new episodes coming. I'm also in the process of watching some that are already over but I've just discovered them, or finally got episodes. I might need a life, but the so-called real life doesn't have Flack) but I get this geeky and this squeeful and thise excited only over csi:ny.
Therefore you, dear flist, are once more subjected to:

Apr. 27th, 2008 06:44 pmI have, for the first time ever, eaten toasted marshmallows. Marshmallows are not that big in Poland (in fact, all we have, are the pink ones from Hasbro, and they're called yo-yos, for some reason).
But Mom brought some from France, and, as she was making grilled sausages in the garden, I found a sharp stick and decided to give this strange custom I've read about in fics a try. (No, seriously. I had been introduced to marshmallows by fanfiction.)
WOW. Goooood.
Now, flist. What are s'mores?
Also, could I rope anyone of you talented people into making me a layout? Eliza-Amy-Tahmoh Dollhouse themed. I've been trying for days, but I hate my results. I do have birthday soon? *looks cute*

( erm... )
( erm... )
Seriously, New York, you are the good boyfriend show. You make me laugh, you are fun and hot and occasionally very disturbing but always in the entertaining, cracktastic way. You drive fast cars, have sex against a wall, do tricks with roses and sometimes like to play Die Hard.
We have a good thing going, you and I. I fangirl you like crazy, and you don't pull any crazy stuff.
( you don't do THIS - spoilers for Child's play )
And you, Supernatural. You know I love you. You're the most perfect show every - you give me something pretty every week, and you make me overexcited about lore, literary tropes, themes and mythology.
( why this show is written just for me - spoilers for A Very Supernatural Christmas )
There apparently were some other shows this week, but I don't care. And I think me and the CSI Vegas will be breaking up, because I fail to care.

3. Molly Has Two Daddies. If you agree, check out the adorable Coming Home by the fantasticlostgirlslair
4. The best web comic around xkcd. Brilliant.
5. I might be able to swing my work as my school practice. Considering I am obliged to do 70 hours of Teacher's Practice this year, this would be a godsend, as I teach twelve hours a week as it is... that on top of my university classes *and* writing a thesis.
6. I will possibly be teaching an Irish guy and a Scottish guy Polish. AWESOMENESS.
7. I have no time for ANYTHING. Which is kind of cool, in a dizzy way. I am downloading all my tv shows, and have no time to watch them. I buy books and have no time to read them. I *am* wasting time on sleeping and eating only because I have no choice in that matter. Kind of cool.
8. CAPTAIN PRETTY. Cala knows.
9. Mom and Mr A. are watching Polish version of 'Dancing with Stars'. Somebody is dancing Salsa.
Mr A.: Salsa always reminds me of that Cuban guy. You know, the Cuban guy? What's his name?
Mom: Fidel Castro?
