It's funny how life turns out, the odds of faith in the face of doubt.

"A few seconds later, so close to the boat I could have leaned down and grabed it, a large sea turtle appeared, a hawksbill, flippers lazily turning, head sticking out of the water."
- From The Life of Pi, Which I think my mom is reading. There were actually a bunch in a pile, but the only one I knew was The Life of Pi, and it's one of my favorite books too. It's so gosh-darn cute. It's the kind of adult book I like, complex without sex or violence or really upsetting things, and deep enough to be gripping. I'm extremely non-discriminate when it comes to children's books, but in general I dislike "serious" books. I read books to escape, not to be put in worlds and worlds of pain.
Anyways! I am finally posting my thoughts on Veronica Mars, and while I'm at it, I feel I should seduce all of youto the dark side to catch up when it is renewed for Season 3. Not if. There are no ifs in my world. So. Pretty!
Probably my favorite scene in the opening (and not only because it's the angle at which Veronica's hair looks best). I mean, the sky! The color! Wallace is the coolest ever! I also love the shot of Wallace at the Sac N Pac, because the colors are so gosh-darn pretty, but if I actually showed you every pretty shot, we'd be here a very long time.
Veronica and Weevil are like the mob. Only cooler. And hotter. The Virgin Mary on the side approves this message.
The colors came out funny when picked at by the gods of .jpg uglification, but it's one of my favorite shots of the entire show. Every time I look at it the cinematographer inside me pees it's pants.
Hey there Veronica! Had any fun conversatoins with potential and creepy murderers lately?
One of my other favorite shots, from one of my absolute favorite episodes ever. There were so many shots from AEFC that I had to seriously edit down. This one is the best. But the whole episode rocks harder than the lovechild of ACDC and Queen.
Every time you look at this shot, an angel gets it's wings. I'm just saying.
This entire episode when she's in the car is the awesomest blue ever to blue.
The baby Jesus likes overhead shots. Seriously, for all the times you make him cry, Rob Thomas does an overhead shot and he forgives you.
I had something witty to say, but it just boils down to: duuuuuude.
Keith and Alicia really do need to get married so Veronica and Wallace can share a room and have bunk beds and stay up late giggling. BEST. FRIENDS. EVER.
Um. I like this shot for the artistry. No. Seriously. I do. Really.
See, when most people make out in a bathroom, it's kind of gross. When Veronica Mars makes out in a bathroom, it is awesome.
I miss this color scheme. For serious.
"Don't forget me, Veronica." "I could never."
IF THIS SCENE DOES NOT MAKE YOU GET SERIOUSLY TEARY, LET'S NEVER SPEAK AGAIN.
Daddy Mars!Love. Another scene you should get teary at is when Keith cries and goes "I am, without a doubt, your father." And then when Veronica goes "You can't die. I need you. I love you." After he, you know, WALKS THROUGH FIRE FOR HER. Oh man. Best daddy-daughter relationship ever.
Veronica: Oh my god. That was the worst sex ever. Did that really just happen?
Duncan: BRAAAAAIIINNNS!
Again. The best BFFs to ever BFF.
CUTEST. COUPLE. EVER. Looking at caps of them for too long may or may not result in peeing out kittens. For serious, look at them.
Two words: omg sway.
Veronica Mars has the prettiest dreams ever.
How they manage to make green look so good I will never know. I can never manage it in photoshop. But this show is made of awesome. Which, I suppose, is reason enough.
This show is epic. It should be renewed because it is epic and omg they are so pretty.
In conclusion, not watching this show makes Veronica Mars go like this.
And for my next trick, thoughts on Happy Go Lucky, now with bonus pictures because I was late in doing this.
I really didn't expect to in the beginning, but I love Gia. She's just so cute. I loved the cupcakes and yes, she's a bit dim and silly, but she's so sweet I forgive her. I want to squeeze her until she squeaks.
While Wallace does a Godfather impression, Jackie is forced to admit that being around herself makes her throw up in her own mouth. Just a little.
Hey Weevs, I'm super good at Algebra. Just saying.
Okay, so I didn't think they were going to kill Wallace. There was no warning and if they were going to, they would have had the whole "SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE DUN DUN DUN" thing on the teaser. And then there was the actual shot. For which Veronica now will aptly sum up my reaction:
omgnoway. I could hear Teija, even from many, many miles away, destroying things. I think if they did shoot Wallace, he shouldn't have spurted blood, but pimp juice. Like, Veronica should rush up to him and be like "Wallace, what is this? It's not blood." And Wallace would smile and go "You can't destroy me, Veronica Mars! I'm made of pimp juice!" and then Jackie would disappear and Wallace and Veronica would go share bunk beds. Seriously. That's what happened in my mind.
I was disappointed that some random guy shot Lucky. I kind of wanted it to be, like, Sacks, just so I could see his bewildered face at doing something actually important. Besides fishing things out of sewage.
See ya, Lucky. I was the only one who found you attractive, which means I'll be meeting you in the special hell.
To compensate that he was just an ass of, fittingly enough, epic proportions, Logan stuck his finger in a socket when he got out of the shower and tried to end it all right there. Unfortunately, this hair was the result. So he went to see his dad instead.
So I've developed a new mathematical law, and that is that as Beaver's nostril size increases (x) so does his attractiveness (y). One might even say they are proportional. Also, why is anyone dumb enough to key the WRONG CAR? I feel like that's a clue, but I have no idea how it ties in.
Dear Mr. Goodman, If you are trying to hide the fact that you feel up young boys, chosing "MrGoodWood" as your password is not exactly what one would call covert. Love, Me.
Veronica Mars Takes the Stand; Cliff's Notes (Ahah! That was a pun. Did you catch it? It was hysterical.)
Veronica: I am made of awesome.
Lamey McLawyerpants: Um. Whatever. I found out you have chlamydia, as everyone knows, originated in Australia. And Austrailia is populated by criminals. And criminals are not used to trusting each other, just as I am not used to trusting you. So basically, you're a slutty lying liar who lied.
(Focus on Aaron, who not only tries to figure out how Australia plays into this entire thing, but is attempting to hide the fact that he probably has more STDs than the whole population of Sri Lanka.)
Please tell me you're joking.
Okay, guys! Quick recap! Chlamydia has a bunch of symptoms, some of which include (but are not limited to) swollen or tender genital areas, abdominal pain, pelvic inflamitory disease, and painful urination. It does NOT make you a liar. THAT IS NOT A SYMPTOM. Clearly, this lawyer has never had chlamydia. Or even been laid.
Am I the only one that finds the fact that Lamb is looking at Veronica with such badly concealed lust not only creepy, but weird considering the fact that a) he's never done that before and b) he just learned she has chlamydia? I mean, I know sexing Madison probably isn't prime, but is it so bad that he must lust after someone solely on a chlamydial basis? Let's be serious here.
Oh, and Sacks? You have something growing under your nose. I think it's a benign tumor. Shaped like a wooly caterpillar.
"Hi! My name is Woody Goodman, and I'm the mayor of Neptune! I enjoy golf, coaching baseball, and sexually molesting the boys who play with me! I deserve many things in a lady, including someone who will shoot my face in instead of sticking something hot and pointy up my ass, as I am just that much of a sick fuck to enjoy it."
Beaver: Hey. So. About that sex thing.
Mac: Hold on, dear, I'm grading Weevil's test.
Weevil not only places on the floor the issue that Mac n' Beav should go have sex in a closet already, but votes unanimously in favor of it. The pesants rejoice and a national holiday is called.
Seriously, though, I'm worried, because there was a shot of Mac crying on the teaser. This makes me almost positive something tragic is going to happen to Beaver. And I do not like it one iota.
Weevil gets a B! I am very happy until...
...The stupid kids come and ruin it. Seriously, isn't a better question what those kids were doing late at night in the back of an unmarked white van on the sketchy side of town at a known drug exchange location?
I bet you a million bucks Sacks took this picture. Because he's Sacks and only Sacks would label Weevil as being six feet tall.
This with the convo and the locker and the worth being taped to a pole? Made me cry. First I remembered Veronica flashing Wallace and then the spirit boxes and the snickerdoodles and the twinkies. Their friendship is so full of fatty sugars.
"And we the jury not only find Aaron not guilty, but find ourselves guilty of being total dumbasses."
It's kind of painfully ironic that when Logan makes Veronica make the broken face, it is all sweet and wonderful, and when his dad does it, you want to kick puppies.
Aaron: Heh heh heh. Braaaaaaains.
Oh, and I also took the SATs today, but clearly that was not important.
