Wasted Opportunity

[trinityofone]

Last night I realized that I made a horrible mistake. isiscolo is running a Hewligan ficathon at sga_6degrees, and though I signed up, I missed the perfect opportunity to request Julian Lodge/Stephen Colbert. Fictional Stephen Colbert, I mean, though I see how he could be easily confused with Real Stephen. Actually, I just want a fic where Julian is on the Colbert Report. And maybe in the story it's a real show, or maybe Julian just thinks it's real and then over the course of the story, realization slowly, slowly dawns. I don't know. It was late and I'd just eaten some pie. But Stephen was talking about "wrestling" with his building manager (and what is up with this Oprah thing? Seriously) and I thought...yeah. There's the craziest/best idea I've had in the last five minutes!

Sometimes I worry that I'm the only one still obsessed with Julian. I hope the Hewligan fest proves me wrong. (In the mean time, yin_again has a tendency to make me feel better about this. siriaeve, too.)

Walk-to-Work music from the last few days:

Float On - Modest Mouse
This is a good song to listen to in the morning. It really gets me going! [/Jennifer Garner]

Life on Mars - David Bowie
The world is strange. Discuss.

Don't Fade Away - Milla Jovovich
I put this on my S1 SGA mix. I still think it's a good song for Atlantis.

Top of the City - Kate Bush
This was on someone else's (jchalo's?) SGA mix, and I think it's a really good Atlantis song, too.

Speed of Sound - Coldplay
Wanna know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.

Heartland - Bell X1
Beautiful U2 cover. And siriaeve's boyfriend Paul Noonan enunciates better than Bono does, so you can actually understand Bono's gorgeous lyrics.

Honey Don't Think - Grant Lee Buffalo
Could you learn to read minds?
In the case of mine
Do you read in the dark?

Hi, John.

Angry Johnny - Poe
Oh, man. I remember being 14 and thinking this song was SO BADASS. Baby's first double entendre! Aww.

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths
I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows I'm miserable now. Oh, ha ha.

Finally, two questions to put to you:

1. I have access to the pilots of all new fall shows through my work. I've already watched "Heroes," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "Betty the Ugly," and "Vanished." Would y'all be interested in reviews of these and/or other shows?
2. Should I join atlantis_lvw or is it just going to make me nauseous because I really, really can't handle competition?

When is Heroes actually coming out? I managed to download a copy of the pilot myself, and I kind of want to pimp it, but I have NO IDEA.

Is the title of the Betty-la-fea show really going to be "Betty the Ugly?" That seems like an... interesting translation. Anyway, yeah, I would be interested in hearing about both those shows.




(Also, I am still obsessed with Julian.)

"Heroes" is premiering either the 18th or the 25th of September. I keep reading conflicting dates, but it should be something like that.

There's some conflict about "Betty"'s title, too. Some press releases say "Betty the Ugly" and some say "Ugly Betty." But "ugly" is definitely the adjective they chose. I don't speak Spanish; how would you translate "fea"?

I'll try to write up the shows later. I do enjoy inflicting my opinions on people. *g*

(YAY JULIAN!)

Oh, I don't speak Spanish either, but it just seemed odd that they were going for the super-literal, "Betty the Ugly" when that doesn't make any grammatical sense in English.
