VM Ruined Music For Me

4/26/07 10:11 am
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I can't even listen to some of my favorite songs anymore, especially songs that I loved while season 1 was airing. Because our talented fans made such great vids from these songs, everytime I hear them now I think of season 1 and my heart breaks for something that was in my life and was great but now have turned bad. I've so much of my life in the past couple of years thinking about VM that I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to get sad over a television show or stop loving things that I onced loved because of that same television show.

This came up because I was listening to older songs on my iPod and I realized that all of them was made into vids from season 1. Like now, I am listening to "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5 and this was one of my favorite fanvids during that summer before season 2. I would like just to enjoy the song again but my stupid mind keeps connecting it to VM. What can I do?

Opening Sequence for The Logan Echoll's Show Virtual Series

4/23/07 06:17 pm
Add to Memories Tell a Friend

If anyone hasn't  been to Logan LoVers lately, then you don't know that we are preparing to have our own virtual series called "The Logan Echolls Show". Right now we are voting on everything, including supporting characters, genre, premise and other things. We are also asking for some of your great fanfic writers out there to volunteer to help write it. So go right over and help us get this season started.

Okay, pimping over, I need your help. I was thinking about putting together an opening sequence for the new virtual season. It is just something fun to do and it will give me a reason to make a vid again; something I haven't had the heart to do in quite a long time.

This is where I need your help. I need songs; not just any songs, songs that fit Logan perfectly. It should be a song that relates to everything he has been through, how he has grown, or his personality in general. Later when we think of the premise, then we can choose another song, but right now I want to use it as a promotional tool to draw people here to either vote or volunteer to help write.

So, list the song title, the artist, and if you have it, post the link where I can download it. You can also post to place your vote for a song someone else has posted.

I haven't posted here in a while because of one reason: I HATE MY BANNER. I an not even remotely a LoVe shipper anymore. Now, I can't even remember how I even got it up there in the first place and I don't have a clue what I want to replace it with. Can anyone on my flist help me?

Also, what is the major differences in a paid and free account? I have a paid one now but it is expiring soon and I just don't know if I want to shell out the money for a paid one since I don't really post all that much anymore.

I know that I've been gone for a while, but after tonight's episode I am compelled to write my spec. I already posted it on Logan LoVers, but wanted to put it here also.  Excuse my spelling tonight, I am operating on 4 hours worth of sleep and lots of candy, so I am really loopy right now.

Studio 60

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
For me, the problem when loving a series and the characters, then for the show to end and the actors going to another show, is that I could never get into the new show or the new character because I keep identifying them with the old character that I have loved so much for so long. I am happy to say I didn't have that problem with watching Matthew Perry on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Not to say that I didn't absolutely love Matt on Friends, my all-time favorite sitcom, or his character Chandler (I loved all the Friends equally). But, I didn't see Chandler while watching, all I saw was his new character, who is also named Matt.

I knew that I wanted to watch this show because most of the people on my f'list was going absolutely crazy about it and I was lucky enough to catch part of it before it was snatched off YouTube. I am glad that I didn't let my skepticism stop me from giving it a shot tonight. I loooved it. COMPLETELY!  And, I looved Matt in it. If you haven't checked it out, I advise that you do. Yay! I have something to watch on Mondays.

Follow Through

9/12/06 08:10 pm
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
This world would be so much better if people would follow through on the things they say. No one does. Don't you wish that even you could do the things you say you will do in your New Year's resolution every year? You know what I wish I could do? I wish that I could just say all those things that run through my mind when I am angry at someone. But, I never do. I have this whole list of how I am knowing to knock them down a peg the next time I see them, but when I actually run into them, I am so angry I never open my fucking mouth. Why is that? Do I actually care about hurting the feelings of people who have wronged me? Am I just a big fucking chicken? I don't know.

Anyway, I've been listening to Pink's song 'Who Knew' and am right back sad. Although, I've heard the song before but I just  paid attention to the lyrics and it makes me think of Carl and my new situation. I mean the lyrics are perfect:

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
cause you said forever
and ever
who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

I listen to way too much music.

Necessary Rant

9/10/06 12:39 am
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
You know what I am sick of? Being called a stupid fangirl just because I prefer my favorite show to be represented accurately.  Just because I have a problem with this quote from KB:

"Okay, be honest," Kristen Bell begins. "If you were dating a guy, and he started sleeping with your friend’s stepmom, would you take him back? Because I think it’s a little gross."

 
They instantly think that it is because of the fact that she doesn't like LoVe. It is not that, if it is KB's opinion. She doesn't have to like LoVe. Hell, I didn't like them either during most of the second season. (And, it had nothing to do with Logan). I don't give a fuck about KB's opinion. Like[info]queenhaq said in her LJ, how could you take a person who wears a yellow muumuu opinions seriously. I don't get upset because of her opinion. KB's opinion is about as important to me as G. W. Bush's.  The point is I love Veronica Mars the show and I want it to be on for many more seasons and no matter what people think, KB sprouting off incorrect information is bad business.

As a new and struggling business owner, I know how important marketing is. What if I was to tell my customers that they should buy my product because it is great and they would enjoy it. Then, when asked how great it is, I look them in the eye and say "How the hell I'm suppose to know, I don't use this shit." How many customers do you think I will get? Really? Or, if I was to falsely advertise my products? Would that be ethical? Because that is what she is doing. What if there are people out there who like guys that cheat on their girlfriends with step-MILFs? They go out there, spending their money on VM DVD's to see what she is talking about and get disappointed that he was slepping with a MILF, but not cheating. They would be terribly disappointed.

The thing is, KB is a business owner, she is an actress. If she isn't marketing her product accurately, she would lose the trust and respect of her customers. The fact that VM often refers to itself as a 'Smart' show and is advertised that way, it is really sad when the lead actress makes comments that aren't so 'smart'.  The first rule in affective marketing is knowing and believing in you product. There is no way in hell you can sell a product you don't know. I'm sorry, but that is the way the world works. If I am a fangirl because I believe this, then too fucking bad. It is just the way things are.

What I don't get is that if a random reporter or writer was writing about the show and spewing off incorrect comments, fandom would be all over it and no one would be upset. They know that the show is struggling and don't want someone misrepresenting it and driving viewers away. But , why not have the same set of high standards for the lead actress of that show. It is her show, why shouldn't we expect her to fucking know what the hell is going on? Come on!

Okay, she doesn't have time to watch. I get that. But, there are shows that she does watch. She has admitted that she enjoys comedies. Couldn't she sacrifice that for a quick peak at her own show, the show she is giving an interview on the following day? And, if she didn't want to put her own enjoyment aside to, say, research for her job, how long does it take to talk to one of the cast members or someone behind the scenes? Couldn't she just ask them what is going on.  Or, when reading the script, why not read the whole damn thing and not just her lines?

I'll be the first to admit that I am a fangirl. Fuckin' proud of it. But, it is not the fangirl in me that cringe at these comments; it is the businesswoman. And, no matter how much people want to think otherwise, it is bad marketing and bad business. Bad marketing and bad business leads to no business at all.  I really don't understand why no one hasn't filled her in yet.

Magic Moments -5/7/06

9/8/06 07:47 am
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Yesterday was pretty good. The thing about me know is that I chose not to focus on the negative stuff. I can laugh at it and move on. My job sucks. It would be the perfect job if my bosses weren't completely incompetent. They have terrible management, organization, and time management skills. They put everything off to the last minute, make mistakes, then bully everyone else in the office to get everything right and ready before the deadline. The one true silver lining in this office is the other people that I work with. They are the best, especially Julie.

Magic Moments - 5/5/06

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I can't believe that I actually had a good freakin day today. I returned to work today after a week off and I just knew that it was going to be all kinds of stressful. So, this morning when I awoke, I made sure that I did my hour of power; a way of destressing before the stress. I got to work, and even though the normal entities that usually pisses me off was present, I didn't let it bother me. I chose what I was going to focus on and other people's insecurities wasn't it. I had a great day. I laughed and enjoyed the co-workers who aren't big pain in the asses. I got some work done. And, I even did some constructive surgery on Logan Lovers. We are trying something new there, so check it out and tell us what you think.

Anyway, I don't have specific magic moments for today because the entire day was magic. WOW! This 'almost' positive-thinking stuff actually works.

Yesterday's Magic Moments

9/4/06 04:24 pm
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I have to remember to carry a bigger purse to keep a notebook in so that I can record my magic moments as they happen. One of the things that Tony Robbins says in his tapes is that we don't focus on the few little good things because we have so many big bad things that we get distracted. Which is so true. I was having a good day yesterday until one of my envious cousins started spreading around a rumor that my new boyfriend is married. Why would a family member do this? Because she is a misery, vindictive heifer who is upset that he turned her down when she propositioned him. But, enough of the bad things, lets concentrate on the good ones.

Anthony Robbins

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
So, the people on my flist knows that I went through a tough time recently and have been kind of depressed. To pull myself out of this runt, a friend gave me some Anthony Robbins CD "Get the Edge" and "Personal Power". I have been listening to them, and to my surprise, they actually motivated me to take action in my life; to live a better quality of life. This is surprising because usually I am the type of person who hates motivational speakers. I am so defiant that I don't want other people telling me what to do or how to live my life. But, that isn't what Tony does. He isn't a motivational speaker or just spill out all that "Positive thinking" bullshit that I hate so much. He pretty much says "if you don't like an area in your life, stop whining about it and take action". You know, 'Get a life, or shut the fuck up'. He is so right.

There are things that I hate about my life, things I want to change, but never took the time or energy to do. So, I will take Tony's advice and just see where it takes me. This would be the best way to use this journal. Okay so here I go:

Refreshed and Renewed

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Carl's funeral was yesterday and today feels like a new beginning. I will miss him terribly, but his death has taught me something that I will share with all of you. LIFE IS TOO SHORT. I know you have heard this a million times, but it finally sunk in to me when a thirty year old man with his entire future ahead of him died in the middle of the night. I loved (and still do) Carl to death, but he was the king of procrastination. He always put off until tomorrow what he should have done last week. We were making plans to start a business together but never got around to it. Why? Because I am the queen of procrastination and like him, never took the time to make the first step. Now he is gone and doesn't have the chance to do what he wanted to do. But, I am still here and I won't let my idle imagination stop me from truly living my life.

Today it the rebirth of a new me. No, I am not going to turn into some type of inspirational quirk, but I will take a tighter hold of my life and finally get the strength and courage to take the first step.

Somewhat Better

8/17/06 05:33 pm
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I am feeling better today than I was the other day. Still missing my friend greatly, but now I am able to function just a little bit better. I decided to come back to work today. What a mistake! I wanted to pull my hair. I didn't realize how annoying everyone at work was. No wonder I don't hang out with any of these people after hours. 

I had to go through pictures last night and pick out of some of Carl to give to his daughter. He wasn't a big picture taker but I could always coax him into taking some whenever we went on vacation together or had a night out. I feel bad that I have so many of him and she rarely have any. So, while going through my photos and pulling out the ones of him by himself, I had another breakdown remembering the good times we had together and realizing that I will never have them again. I remember reading a post from [info]catherinebruce where she decided to write a letter to her father, and I thought that I would do the same with Carl.  A way for me to feel as if I am not alone and that he is still with me and I can tell him everything, just like I use to.

Anyway, thank you to everyone on my friend's list that commented. It makes a huge difference, believe me. I didn't realize how much having an online blog would help me in some of my most difficult times. It's replenishing to say the least. So, thanks you guys.

In A Funk

8/15/06 12:57 pm
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
My best friend died in a car accident last night. He actually was in an accident the night before, was in intensive care, and then died last night. I am in a funk of guity confusion that I can't pull myself out of. Why do I feel guity? I don't know (and for other reasons I just can't bring myself to talk about right now) but I keep feeling as if there was something I could have done. He was my only REAL friend and the only support system I had and I can't wrap my mind around the fact that he is gone. All I keep thinking now is 'what am I going to do without him?' Is that incredibly selfish of me?

Anyway, I am going through spurks of uncontrollable crying and my family and boyfriend doesn't quite know what to do for me or how to comfort me because they didn't know Carl. He was something that I kept seperate from everyone else. He was mine and I didn't want to share him with the rest of my world. They knew of him but didn't come into contact with him that often. Now, I wish that they had so that I can have someone to mourn with. It is too hard doing this alone.

Really missing VM

8/9/06 10:51 am
Add to Memories Tell a Friend

I am really missing my shows; VM, Supernatural, and even One Tree Hill. Plus, I can't wait for some of the new shows that will debut this fall. Some of them looks really interesting. Right now I am bored out of my mind with nothing to watch, and even if their was anything on television, I couldn't see it anyway. Why? Because my apartment is possessed.

Yeah, I said POSSESSED.

I moved into this apartment in April and since then, not one but two televisions have just died on me. First, it was my big one in the living room. I've had this television for about 3 years and never had a problem with it. And, one day, it just went black. All it does is make some type of humming noise when I plug it up. This was about a month ago. Then, the other day, my 25inch in my bedroom did the same damn thing. It died the same horrible death that the other one did. My friend said that all I have to do is put them in the shop and they would be as good as new. The bad thing is I don't have the money to get them fix, let alone buy new ones. Damn, why did this have to happen a month before the new shows start. But, I am determined not to miss any of my shows, so if I have to take a second part-time job (because the stupid school that I work for won't pay overtime. You can work it if you want but they will not pay for it. What the HELL is that? I work for a big university/hospital who is ranked number 15 out of all of the medical schools in the country, well known for their breakthough in research, owns 75% of our town, and won't shell out a few extra dollars for overtime so that I can get my freakin televisions fixed.)

So, if you can't tell, my day is pretty much sucking, how are all of you doing?

The things I'll watch while no new VM

8/8/06 11:06 am
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I watched Flavor of Love: Season 2 (don't ask me why, this is what happens during the summer hiatus while waiting for new episodes of my shows) and I really can't believe that this show. First, there were 20 women fighting and bitching over Flavor Flav. Seriously, Flav? What people won't do to be on national television. And, they went all out on this one. It began when two of them got into a fist fight over a pink bed. And one girl actually prayed, "Lord, stop me from beating this bitch's ass." (her words, not mine.) Come on! I am not an overly religious person, but I am sure that is one prayer that the Lord was covering his ears at. Then, the one girl got so slaughtered that she couldn't even stand straight. And, for them to be their competing for the love of a man, more than one were more interested in the other girls.

And, OMG! That girl actually shitted on herself and the floor. WHERE DID THEY FIND THESE PEOPLE? She actually try to play it off as if it wasn't no big deal. She just made a big fool out of herself on national television. This will follow her around for the rest of her life. I can just hear the comedians now. I mean, Flavor of Love got more viewers than VM last season (unbelievable, there is just no explanation for America's taste in entertainment.) and more viewers than any other show in the history of VH1. I wouldn't be able to show my face in public again, let alone stay on the show and look this dude in his face after pooping all over his floor.

Although, I think it is totally ridiculous and have really starting to get over the 'reality' television faze, it was the most funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Maybe because it was so ridiculous and the fact that they were fighting over Flav, but I have never laughed so much in my life (well, this summer anyway).

No Sleep Tonight

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
See, I knew that there was a reason for my previous bitchy mood. I just didn't know it yet. So, I checked my Yahoo! email, which I never do anymore because it is so overflown with spam and advertisements it is just to much to trouble to go through it all. Anyway, last year when we heard about the VM cast being on The Fader's "No Sleep Tonight" video and the band would make an appearance on the show, I subscribed to their site for any information while we were going through the long summer hiatus. I received an email from them today and they are breaking up. I can't believe it.

( Email Contents )

This may be old news to you guys but it is new to me. I am not a huge Fader fan, but I like their music. 'Whatever It Takes' is still on rotation on my iPod. So, I guess I am a little sad. That sucks. Mostly because I hate change. Now, it would be weird to see them in other projects and not together. I still can't watch anything that the Friend's cast has been doing since the show ended. It just doesn't feel right that they aren't together anymore.
