Even now in my mid-20s I still love those angsty teen romance books that you can read in one day. And Princess and The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Posten is definitely one of them.<br />
The story follows Geekerella but works as a stand-alone book.Catty Liuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214275582946543569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249998549888473943.post-3457216321510503502019-03-25T19:53:00.000-07:002019-10-07T00:14:51.354-07:00Fiona Davis I started writing this March 2019 but stopped before I got all my thoughts down.

The three Fiona Davis books I've read (The Dollhouse, The Address, and The Masterpiece) along with The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton all have a common theme of a down-on-her-luck young lady who discovers a thing of mystery surrounding a historical location which she further investigates. And back in history that <i>thing</i> centers around an also down-on-her-luck young woman whose life gets changed by a man. The present day woman investigates the mystery of the past one discovers she died in a tragic way.Catty Liuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214275582946543569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249998549888473943.post-78630120212740727452018-08-16T18:15:00.001-07:002019-10-07T00:15:08.292-07:00Perfect Little World by Kevin Wilson - Unfinished PostI started writing this August 2018 but stopped before I got all my thoughts down.

<i>Perfect Little World</i> by Kevin Wilson is centered around an experiment of a communal family. Ten families live together in the same complex and their kids are brothers and sisters to each other and all the adults are their parents. The experiment is meant to last ten years but of course there's drama when living in a close-knit environment. The story is told from the alternating points of view of the doctor conducting the experiment Dr Preston Grind and the only single parent in the experiment Izzy<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Before I begin, I acknowledge how hard it is to write a 300 page book and I could personally never do such an amazing feat. </span><br />
<br />
I hate having to say this because I usually love (or at least like) all books but this is the worst one I've read in a really long time. This book took me over a month to finish and not just because it was kinda long (almost 300 pages with small font - hardcover version) but also because it was boring and slow. It's hard to describe exactly what happens in the book because each chapter is so slow until we get to the ending.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's some basic premise of the story:<br />
Little girl (Anna) stops eating after her 11th birthday. Her brother died a few months prior. People think it is a miracle of God. The town hires two people to watch Anna day and night. A nurse trained by Florence Nightingale (Lib - the narrator) and a Catholic nun.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now for some spoilers...<br />

Lib watches Anna and is convinced the family is secretly feeding Anna but it stops after the two nurses start their watch. It turns out that the mom was "baby-birding" (regurgitating into her mouth) Anna in the morning when hugging her good morning and calling it <i>mana</i> from heaven.<br />
And the reason Anna stop eating? She found out that it was a sin for her brother to be having "marital" intercourse with her in the night and that he was stuck in limbo/hell. She would have to fast and pray in order to save his soul. It ended with Lib telling Anna that Anna is joining her brother in heaven and she gets to wake up as a different girl the next day.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> First of all, I want to say that I can relate to this book.
A brief synopsis of the book: a Chinese-American family goes bankrupt and the
dad goes around collecting his children so he can go back to China to reclaim the
family land stolen by the Communists. My family is Taiwanese and we also have 3
children; during the entire book I worry about what if the same thing happened
to us? Would we have enough money to go back to Taiwan? Will we have anywhere
to go back to?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each chapter of the book is from the point of view of a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Taiwan away from the Communists when he was young. He went to school at National
Taiwan Universitu. Before senior year, his parents sent him to America with “a
list of fertilizer manufacturers” to help earn the family fortune back.
Instead, he got into the cosmetics industry and grew big. He married his first
wife May Lee who was a model. They had a house in Bel-Air. May Lee died getting
onto a helicopter to view the Grand Canyon in order to rekindle their marriage
after the third child was born. After the death of his first wife, Charles
married Barbra who he knew back in Taiwan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

on him. One summer she decided to work on her appearance and lose some weight
but when school started back up, Charles had already left for America. After
awhile, one of her classmates heard from Charles that he was going to be
marrying a model. When she had heard about May Lee’s death, she took all of her
parents’ savings and flew to America to find Charles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Grayson, cheated on her and got another girl pregnant. Saina moved to Helios as
a personal exile from society and also away from everything that reminded her
of Grayson. But he came looking for her saying that the other girl lost the
baby and Saina was the only one for him. After being together for awhile, his
son was born. She found out that Grayson had lied to her and he went back to
his baby-mama. Besides Grayson, Saina was dating Leo – a local – who took her
back after Grayson left. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Andrew – The second child and oldest son. Goes to school at
Azusa Pacific University and wants to be a comedian. He believes in waiting to
find love before having sex. He has his car repossessed the day everything
happened. As Charles goes around picking up the children, they stop in New
Orleans and he meets the thirty-five year old Dorrie who not only gets to him
to have sex but also to stay in Louisiana with her instead of going to New York
with his family to get Saina. After a few days of being with Dorrie he realizes
that they don’t love each other (blinded by the sex) and he leaves her behind.
Andrew goes around the state trying to figure out what to do and finally
performs a comedy routine that goes well. He ends up having to fly to Beijing
when their father ends up in the hospital.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for a small town general store that Charles personally helped kick start.
Unfortunately, the products had melted by the time they reached the
destination. Another stop along the way was to New Orleans where one of
Charles’s longtime friend Nash lives. This is where Andrew leaves the journey.
And somewhere in North Carolina the family get into a car crash. They get a

<br />
This book is loosely inspired by Charlie Manson and his "girls".<br />
<br />
I was very sad when the book ended where it did. It didn't feel like anything was resolved. The story is about Evie who meets this group of people the summer before she goes to boarding school. They live on a ranch together and don't believe in worldly possessions and they share their clothes and food. They go dumpster diving in town because they don't have any money since most of the people are runaways from life or family. The book has four parts and each part starts with a short narrative of present day and then the chapters will be about Evie's time with this group of people.<br />
<br />
The group is led by Russell Hadrick who convinces them that they can all love each other and he loves all of them. Most of the girls there probably didn't get enough love/attention in their own lives so they thrive when they are with Russell. Russell is all about putting out a record because he wants to share his message with the world and he believes he is the next big thing. He relies on Mitch Lewis, a musician, to get him a record deal and help him along.<br />
<br />
Evie is drawn to the group by Suzanne, one of the girls there. She understand Russell's message but isn't as mesmerized by him as the other girls are. Evie spends the summer going off to the ranch to visit the group and eventually stay there when she gets in a fight with her mother.<br />
<br />
It ends with something big happening with the group, Evie goes off to boarding school, and how she's dealing with life now.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The whole story leads up to a major crime that happens with the group. Turns out, Mitch "betrays" Russell and doesn't get him a record deal. (Mostly because the recording session with Russell went horribly.) Russell plans revenge by "suggesting" to Suzanne and some of the other girls to go to Mitch's house and make a statement.<br />
<br />
Evie tags along because she's attached to Suzanne but is kicked out of the car on the way to Mitch's house. When the group gets to Mitch's house, Mitch is not there but his ex-girlfriend, her child, the groundskeeper, and the groundskeeper's girlfriend are all sleeping. Suzanne and the girls take the people sleeping in the house and brought them to the living room eventually killing them one by one.<br />
<br />
I thought the ending was kinda terrible. Evie wasn't there, she was afraid that the group would come to find her and she would some how get into trouble. She also goes to boarding school and everything eventually returns to semi normal. She makes friends, she enjoys life. (That's all it says about this.) Now that she has had this experience, she can tell when a girl hasn't had enough attention in her home life because she will crave the attention of others. The book ends with Evie seeing a man walking towards her and thinking he is here to get her. Turns out it was just a stranger taking a walk. THE END<br />

And by the first page/paragraph/sentence of chapter 1. I was debating between reading this or The Girls (which I received in my August book of the month box) and this book jumped out to me right away.<br />
<br />
First sentence:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Anne can feel the acid churning in her stomach and creeping up her throat; her head is swimming".</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Yup, I definitely want to find out what happened to her (next sentence "she's had to much to drink"). I'm hooked!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First of all, I thought it was going to be a drama novel with a small bit of who-dunnit mystery involved. Also I thought there was going to be murder but you find out at the end of the first chapter that it's a kidnapping.<br />
<br />
Now about the characters involved. No spoilers yet but we will be revisiting the characters in the the spoilers section.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anne and Marco Conti - They are the parents of the missing child Cora.<br />
<br />
Richard and Alice Dries - Rich parents of Anne. Richard is the step father.<br />
<br />
Cynthia and Graham Stillwell - Anne and Marco's next door neighbors.<br />
<br />
A short plot summary: Cora goes missing while Anne and Marco are over at Cynthia and Graham's apartment for a dinner party. The entire book is finding out what everyone is hiding, where the baby is (if she's even still alive), and who took the baby.<br />
<br />

<br />
Everyone wants to know who did it. Marco set up the kidnapping but Richard set Marco up. Cora is fine and alive.<br />
<br />
Details:<br />
<br />
The Conti family are over at the Stillwell apartment until after 1am. They go home and find their 6 month old daughter missing from her crib. They were checking on her every 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
Anne - She has a dissociative condition where she sometimes blacks out and doesn't remember what she has done. Also has postpartum depression. She doesn't remember anything during the time she checked on her daughter at 11pm. She only remembers breast feeding, the baby being fussy, and slapping the baby. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(She ends up killing Cynthia at the end for something else</span>)<br />
<br />
Marco - He set up the whole thing with his friend Bruce Neeland (whose real name was actually Derek Honig). Marco had planned to hand the baby over to Derek briefly after 12:30 and Derek would call asking for a 2 million dollar ransom about 12 hours later.<br />
<br />
Something goes wrong and a package arrives a few days after asking for 5 millions. Marco goes alone because he knows the baby will be there nice and safe. When he gets there, there is an empty car seat and he gets hit over the head and blacks out. Marco and Derek had become friends over the (doesn't say how long) and after Marco asked Richard for money and was denied, Derek suggested fake kidnapping Cora so they can both get money from it.<br />
<br />
Richard - Turns out he was having an affair with Cynthia (yes, Anna's neighbor). It's implied that he was the one who set Derek up with Marco because he ended up with all the money and the child. Richard's assistant was the one taking care of the child while it was missing.<br />
<br />
Alice - She's pretty innocent throughout all this. She's the one who tells Anne that her stepfather was cheating with Cynthia.<br />
<br />
Cynthia - Came onto Marco during the party at the beginning of the book. Turns out she and her husband Graham like to watch her having intercourse with other men and they film it. They have hidden cameras all around to record whenever she's with someone else. They end up having video footage of Marco taking the baby out to Derek in the garage.<br />
<br />
Graham - Graham is against giving the video footage to the police because he would get into trouble for filming people without their consent.<br />
<br />
Video footage: Showed Marco going into the house at 12:30 to "check on the baby" but then he comes out at 12:33 and brings Cora into the garage where Derek is parked in a Prius.<br />

So I got this book Siracusa (by Delia Ephron) in my August Book of the Month Club shipment. (Link here) And I started reading it right away and it took me about a week to finish. The chapters are each told by a different character in the story.<br />
<br />
Short description of plot: Two couples and one daughter go on a vacation to Italy and something dramatic happens at the end.<br />
<br />
<br />
Longer description:<br />
The four main adult characters and the one teen character are: Finn, Taylor, Snow, Michael, and Lizzie. Side adult character Kath.<br />
<br />
Details about each character:<br />
-Finn: used to date Lizzie, married to Taylor, father of Snow. He is a restaurant owner.<br />
<br />
-Taylor: Married to Finn, mother of Snow. She works with the mayor's office in Portland, Maine on the city's tourism. She babies Snow and believes her to have extreme shyness syndrome. Can "decipher" what her daughter is trying to say even when no words are used.<br />
<br />
-Snow: a shy teenager, she goes through a transformation throughout the book - or maybe she was already like that but didn't show her true self until Italy.<br />
<br />
-Michael: Married to Lizzie, having an affair with Kath (you find out in Michael's first chapter about her so this isn't really a spoiler). He's written plays and is currently writing a play.<br />
<br />
-Lizzie: Married to Michael, used to date Finn. I think she's a freelance writer for newspapers and stuff but I don't really remember. She's the one who plans the Italy trip for the two couples.<br />
<br />
-Kath: Having an affair with Michael, she's the hostess at a restaurant Michael goes to frequently (where they met).<br />
<br />
The story:<br />
The five main characters go to Italy on a vacation together, Rome is nice, Siracusa is next. Michael and Lizzie rekindle the romance in their relationship. Taylor is overprotective especially when Snow starts to be more engaged in her surroundings because of Michael (but Taylor not so secretly loves this). Snow is weird but that's the point. You're not supposed to be able to figure out what she's thinking. A mysterious thing that all of the online reviews mention happens. But you'll have to read the spoilers below to find out what it is. The spoilers will be clearly marked when it starts and ends. There will be some final thoughts afterwards. You'll see the "end spoilers" if you keep scrolling<br />

Kath shows up on the trip. She surprises Michael in Siracusa. She used his plane miles by using her spare key into his office and accessing his password and other information. She gets a room at the same hotel as the rest of the group. And she makes him buy her a ring as a sign of commitment.<br />
<br />
Snow, who has been smitten with Michael this trip (not sure if romantic or as a father figure), finds out about the affair and allegedly pushes Kath onto the rocks by the sea. No one knows for sure but Kath is definitely dead.<br />

<br />
<br />
Final thoughts:<br />
I like when a book has chapters each based on a different day (like Dracula's journal format) or each is a different character narrating like this book is. It gives us multiple points of view of one situation and we can see how each of the characters interpret the situation.<br />
I can totally see the author writing this book from Snow's point of view. Her thoughts should be quite interesting since she barely speaks throughout the book.<br />

I've started watching it and I am hooked. It's about 21 year old Claire Robbins who runs away from her sexually abusive brother to join the American Ballet Company in New York.<br />
She obviously has a tragic backstory because of her brother. She is portrayed as timid and shy because she has a secret to hide which gets annoying at times but it comes across in her dancing as passionate.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to summarize each episode but I do recommend everyone to check it out. Disclaimer, it is really dark and emotionally scarring so if you're sensitive to things, maybe skip this show. (After each episode I do need to get up and hug my dog or look at cute animals online. It is really dark.)<br />
<br />
Female nudity involved (and one instance of male nudity so far). Also rape/sexual abuse.<br />
<br />

(I accidentally bought, then read, volume 2 first.) But in reality, I haven't picked it up in forever.<br />
The reason is...I am currently on the chapter called "The Final Problem" at the part where Sherlock and Watson are hiding from Moriarty by travelling all over Europe. I already know what's going to happen and it depresses me to think about it so I haven't been able to finish the story.<br />
The other issue is, I just can't start a new book if I'm not able to finish my current one. Which means I've basically been stuck in reading limbo for over a year now.<br />
There's so much of the book left to read but I just can't. :'(Catty Liuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214275582946543569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249998549888473943.post-54558562300489115322015-01-17T21:18:00.001-08:002015-01-17T21:31:00.113-08:00Point of Honor - PilotPoint of Honor<br />
<br />
I am currently watching the Amazon pilot episode of Point of Honor and I have conflicting opinions about it. I feel like it's basically Gone With the Wind but with bad accents and less accurate outfits. It is a period drama based in Virginia at the beginning of the Civil War.<br />
<br />
Location: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_Honor" target="_blank">Point of Honor</a> in Virginia, owned by the Rhodes family.<br />
Sisters: Kate - main sister who is in charge of the place and makes all the decisions. Lorelai - the only blond sister, married to a "Yankee" (Robert) who is fighting for the North, and a constant worrier. Estella - the youngest sister, free and young, a bit "loose" for a lady, and the fun one.<br />
All three sisters were taught to shoot and defend themselves by their father and they put it to use in the episode.<br />
There are also two brothers, one is John, the other is a drunkard (apparently.)<br />
<br />
Opinion: I love period dramas, especially ones with great costumes. This fell short of that. Costumes didn't look like they were from the right time, the colors seemed off. The accents (not that I can do better) were less than convincing. And the pilot didn't really show enough for us to want to know more about the characters. Sure it is another point of view to shoot this from, but the pilot episode should show enough to keep people wanting more.<br />
<br />
Spoilers:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
John leaves the army to free the slaves on his land but still fight for the South.<br />
Robert leads the army to Virginia to stop the war before it begins. (But also to see his wife?)<br />
Drunk brother sees some men from the army in the woods and has time to warn his family.<br />
Rhodes men and some others from the town go to the army base to confront them.<br />
The father is shot (not by Robert) and Robert rides away with the rest of the army.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With all that said, I would watch more just to see how they run with it.Catty Liuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214275582946543569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249998549888473943.post-39996787275035565102015-01-16T21:00:00.000-08:002015-01-16T23:32:48.007-08:00Glee Season 6 Ep 3 - Jagged Little Tapestry<div class="MsoNormal">
Glee Season 6 Episode 3 - Jagged Little Tapestry <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I apologize in advance but I have
cut out a bunch of Becky’s storyline from this summary because I find her
character very rude and not to my taste. (That and she’s so mean to Quinn)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kurt is in the sheet music store
looking for songs from Smash (tv show, I loved it!)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blaine shows up on the other side
of the aisle looking for the same thing. Dave is also there. Awkward.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They sing (song: It’s Too Late).
This song actually means a lot to my family and me because of how much my dad
sings it. Our whole family uses this song in situations when a person wants
something after the fact “it’s too late baby, now it’s too late.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Klaine scenes in their Dalton
blazers. Regretful glances. They go to their respective pianos and look at
pictures of the two of them together. Basically what the whole Klaine fandom
has on their tumblrs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Opening title sequence<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Kurt suggests mash-up week. Me:
already?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kurt + Rachel don’t get along
because they’re just Alphas.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Offensive things said to Quinn
and Tina via Becky’s mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Santana + Brittany scissor and
have lesbian talk about their future. They confess their love. And they duet.
(Song: Hand in My Pocket/I Feel the Earth Move.) Santana’s voice isn’t sexy Latina
anymore, she basically sounds like Brittney’s singing voice. Santana proposes
to Britt.Lots of jaw drops in the choir room. Rodrick: Wait…what is happening?
Puck: This kind of thing happens all the time, just go with it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kurt has an outburst. Santana
gets fiery. She makes fun of his dance moves and lists a million reasons Blaine
and Kurt didn’t work out. Britt and Kurt have a bonding moment. But then she
tells him that Blaine is moving in with Dave. More bonding moments. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Issues/argument about Becky’s new
bf and having intercourse with someone who has Down Syndrome. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jane and guy twin Mason duet.
Kurt has Klaine flashbacks to when they first met and were running down the
Dalton hallway, their first kiss, and when Parvoti died. He also sees when he
refused to have sex in the back seat with Blaine, and when Blaine proposed.
Tears. (Song: Will You Love Me
Tomorrow/Head Over Feet.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sue confronts Coach Beiste and
finds out she has cancer. Sue is on her side.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Becky pretends to be part of the
Glee club to impress her new boyfriend. (Song: So Far Away)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coach Beiste tells Sam (and Sue)
that she has gender dysphoria which means her outsides don’t match her insides
and she’s going to change herself into a man. Sue is human in this scene.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kurt, and Rachel sing with Tina
and Britt as backup. Santana steals the stage. (Song: You Learn/You’ve Got a
Friend)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall: Puck was there to give
awesome one-liners. Sam is there to move the Coach Bieste storyline along.
Quinn is there to look beautiful, show off awesome dresses, and to sing one or
two lines a song to show off her voice. The old Glee club was called back to
help with ratings because of viewer complaints.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The episode starts with a Blaine voiceover and a cartoon
sketch. Something about death, taxes, and Dalton Academy. He talks about being
unable to get back into music when he and Kurt broke up. Until he started
coaching the Warblers. They make a nod to how much hair gel Blaine uses. (It’s
more than a dime size.)<o:p></o:p></div>

Holy Trinity sing Problem. (I squeal) They edited their
voices so that the three of them all sound exactly the same. Santana doesn't

It’s kinda cool that Rachel can use the faculty lounge now.
It’s come full circle in a way. Better way to end the episode than Kurt falling
apart in the bathroom. <o:p></o:p></div>

Parenthood Season 6 Episode 10 – How Did We Get Here?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They chose to do the scene with Zeek and Camille getting
into the ambulance with muted sound and no music. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And then the showed the children in their separate
situations. Adam and Kristina in a brightly led bedroom being there for each
other, Crosby frantically searching for the keys by himself but getting a hug
from Jasmine, Sarah getting out of bed fully dressed with Hank not doing
anything, and Julia lying in regret next to Joel and suddenly getting that
message. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I pretty much broke down crying at the beginning<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Adam comforting his mother in the hospital chapel<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amber goes to hospital. Drew runs to the car that he got but
it doesn't turn on<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hank wakes up and calls Sarah to ask what he can bring
because he wants to be there and to bring food for them. (Kinda like Luke when
Lorelai was in the hospital for her dad)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joel shows up with coffee for everything. So does Jasmine.
None of the younger kids are in this scene. Hank has to pick up Drew and be in
the car alone with him trying to make small talk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The doctor tells them that Zeek is stable and they have him
at a normal heartbeat but it’ll take a while to transfer him to the ICU. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Crosby and Adam go to the Luchenoette and see that it has
been completely ransacked. All the musical instruments and recording equipment
are gone and all the furniture have been flipped over.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hank delivers Drew. Kristina delivers bagels.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Crosby is pissed about being robbed. “Why is this all
happening?” “Grandma is going strong at
93 and dad is in the ICU?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The doctor tells him
that they might have to perform surgery again but allows them to visit Zeek in
the hospital. (I break down again when Camille says “Zeek? We’re all here”)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nurse says to Julia and Joel: I’m sorry, it’s family members
only<br />
Julia: He’s my husband<br />
Zeek crashes right when Julia gets there<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Julia announces to her siblings that they just took Zeek to
the operating room again. Everyone freaks out. Joel comes in calmly to tell
them what happened. Hank looks on from the background looking helpless.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hank goes to see Drew in the cafeteria and Drew is still
upset about telling his grandma about the secret trip. Hank tells Drew that as
a parent, they don’t hold on to moments like that. They bond, Hank drinks
Drew’s soda.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Adam tells Crosby that the insurance payment is more than
what he expected and maybe they can cash out and pay off their debts. They
agree to think about it just as Camille comes in and tells them that the doctor
put in stents and that he’s stable now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Camille and all her children visit Zeek. They ask if he
wants to rest, he asks them to stay.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We cut back to the hospital room and Crosby is telling a
story about him sneaking in at night when he was young. Family bonding. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Doctor comes in to tell them that the fluids were going back
into his heart and that’s what caused this. They eventually need to do the
surgery but he’s not strong enough to guarantee to survive this one. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Crosby tells Jasmine about the insurance money and asks what
to do. Crosby said he wants no stress for a while and Jasmine said she’ll
support him no matter what but he’s happiest when he’s working there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Drew sits down next to Hank and Hank starts ranting about
what a perfect husband Joel is and just wishes to be there for his mom but he
doesn't know how. Drew tells Hank that he’s the favorite out of the guy’s that
Sarah’s “brought around”. And thanks Hank for “being around”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Adam is looking up stuff about Cardiomyopathy. Kristina
tells him to turn it off and he thanks her for being there for him and for the
family. He asks Kristina what he should do about stepping back from the
Luncheonette. Kristina says they should let it go if that’s what he wants to
do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hank and Sarah blather at each other about doing the right
thing and the situation and how messy everything is. Sarah says “we should be
vegetarians.” Hank says “we should get married.” Sarah smile but doesn't know
what to respond. Hank: Is it a no? Sarah: Let’s talk later.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Farewell Season

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Zeek talks about going back in time to have some more fun.
Camille says that they’ll do it again. He doesn't know what to do about the
operation, she wants to talk about it with the family. He says he doesn't want
the kids involved and want it to just be “you and me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amber and Drew enter. Drew still looking sad and guilty. He
hugs him and says “I love you grandpa”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hank and Joel grab a beer and talk about the blurt proposal.
Sitting next to them is Adam and Crosby. Crosby: worst day ever. Adam: I've had
worse. Crosby: Did you fall off a building or something? Adam: It was pretty
bad.<br />
Crosby tells Adam he doesn't want to drop out of the Luncheonette. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sarah and the other women in the family have brought Amber’s
baby shower to the hospital cafeteria. Camille is quietly looking at the family
that she now has with all these women. They present Amber with a scrap book
that they all took part in and wrote a tip for her. The rest is for blank to
fill out things for the future baby<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prediction/theories for this season: It will end with Amber
giving birth to a new baby boy that she names Zeek. And grandpa will pass away
peacefully some time after all 4 generations of Bravermans are in the same
room. <o:p></o:p></div>

Okay just watched the episode and here are my points
1. Okay, hate Natalie. She was being a bit of a pain in the beginning of the episode
2. Jabbar was so understanding and cute when he said he'd pay for his own ticket
3. That scene with Amber and Ruby was so....useful
4. Was wondering what if Dylan walked in while Adam was being "comforted"
5. "I'm the only one in my family that's gone to college" Uhhhhh is Hattie a ghost now?
6. Dear Lunchenette, if you want to save money, TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS
7. I want a Harry Potter party tooCatty Liuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214275582946543569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249998549888473943.post-69113788120873062462014-09-28T21:13:00.000-07:002014-09-28T21:15:52.273-07:00Revenge Season 4 Ep 1 RenaissanceI've been waiting a long time for this new season of Revenge and here it is!<br />

Robin Hood's wife hates the queen but everyone is on Regina's side<br />
<br />
Elsa uses her ice powers to stop the car of two of the dwarfs<br />
She goes into town and her ice powers are following her<br />
"Control, don't feel" Poof ice powers gone<br />
She sees a wedding dress<br />
<br />
Flashback<br />
Ana is very excited and she's rambling<br />
Elsa shows her their mom's wedding dress (resembles Rapunzle's a bit)<br />
She makes a snowflake necklace to go with the dress<br />
Ana tries it on<br />
(There's a deleted scene from the movie with the girls picking out outfits for a party)<br />
Elsa finds a diary and snowflakes start floating around her<br />
"Our parents, their death, it's all my fault!!!"<br />
<br />
Now<br />
Belle kisses Rumple, they visit Neal's grave<br />
He tells a really heart wrenching story to the grave and then asks for the strength to give Belle the real dagger<br />
<br />
Robin visits Regina. He tells her that his feelings to her are real but the other chick is his wife and he made a vow<br />
He leaves her alone in her big empty home. She breaks a mirror and has an epiphony<br />

She puts him back in the mirror. He freaks out. "Relax, it's just temporary"<br />
<br />
Marian chides Regina and says if she had a family, she wouldn't be doing these bad things<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Elsa hides in alleyways and look for safety in Mr Gold's shop<br />
<br />
Flashback<br />
Elsa looks for Ana in the stables (hello Sven and Kristoff!)<br />
Kristoff is a great distractor. "Do you want to see the floral arrangements?"<br />
<br />
Now<br />
"It's some kind of snow monster"<br />
They tell Emma to use her magic because swords and Hook's cunning wit is not helping<br />
Marshmallow rages, spikes appear, roars and knocks everyone out<br />
The monster almost kills Marian, Regina almost let it but she has a change of heart<br />
Emma says to Hook "you want to go home and see what's on Netflix?"<br />
Hook: I don't know what that is, but sure<br />
They talk, she kisses him, tells him to be patient, he says "I have all the time in the word. Unless another monster appears and kills me"<br />
Emma visits Regina's office and she's sitting on the floor with her back against the door. (Very similar to the 'Do you want to build a snowman' song)<br />
Something about happy endings<br />
Sydney: I could probably tell you you're wearing too much eye make up<br />
Regina wants to find the writer of the magic book<br />
Something about villains getting their happy endings (Halloween episode anyone?)<br />
<br />
Belle sleeping, Rumple takes the dagger back out and touches a weird swirly magical thing with it<br />
It turns into a magician's hat (Merlin? Will you appear?)<br />
<br />
Elsa still looking for Hook, breaks into his shop<br />

<br />
Previously, Scott accidentally bit Liam in order to save him. In a panic, Scott kidnapped him and called Stiles to help.<br />
The two boys try and fail many times with different approaches to explain to Liam about the bite. #TheBiteIsAGift<br />
<br />
Peter gets hit by the mouthless guy. The guy informs Peter that Derek is next<br />
<br />
Lydia looks through her math notes and find a weird code. Kira tells Lydia "you hold the key"<br />
<br />
As a final hail Mary, the group get Kira to seduce Liam into going to Lydia's boathouse for an intervention of sorts. They tell Liam what they all are: Scott - werewolf, Lydia - banshee, Malia - werecoyote , Kira - "fox" aka kitsune, and Stiles - used-to-be-possessed-by-an-evil-spirit. #VeryEvil<br />
<br />
Liam texted a bunch of his freshmen friends before going into the house so they all showed up right when Liam was about to turn. (It's a full moon. Coincidence? I think not!)<br />
<br />
Stiles and Malia go into the basement. They have a bonding moment, she learns to use Stiles as her anchor.<br />
<br />
Scott and Kira take Liam into the little shed by the water. They have a bonding moment, they slow dance and Kira tries to get Scott to lose control. But he tells her he is "undistractable." Liam turns, breaks out of his chains, and run into the forest.<br />
<br />
Allison's dad, Sr Argent save Scott right in the nick of time. "How did you know?" "I got your text." (I'm assuming the tex was from one of the previous episodes and he finally decided to show up.)<br />
<br />
Lydia cracks the code and types in "Allison" as the password. A list with a bunch of names and numbers next to them show up on the page. She calls it a 'deadpool.' (I'm assuming they're just bounties or a very real game of assassins)<br />
