Running on Fumes and Road to Sectionals!

YEAH, I know I've been neglecting this page for the past few months. I humbly apologize for... yeah no, who's reading this blog anyway, so I'm not sorry for neglecting my posting duties, so there! Returning to the point of this post, I've been fully entrenched in continuing my academic studies and have been focused on my mfa grad program applications. The application process has been a hellish grind for me thus far, having to juggle work, writing, reading and two babies I barely manage any of it. I've completed three application thus far for; UCLA, USC & UT. I've got 4 to go with a possibility of an additional school as a safety.

Let me just say I have no life anymore and this past tuesday was mainly spent pulling an all night writeathon (made up word... Sue me). Somewhere in the time I spent juggling application materials and writing scripts, I seemed to find time to watch the sectionals episode of "Glee" and I have to say it was really disappointing! Than again this whole season so far has been pretty much just one giant let down, I'm sensing another show following the "Heroes" Pattern. I'm starting to feel the shows story is losing focus and plugging random stars and focusing on creating themed episodes instead of focusing more so on the plot and characters of the story. There have been 2 celebrity-centric stories and a themed episode, compared to last season that alot in a short period of time. Last season there's was a greater deal of time introducing viewers to the freaks and geeks of glee club instead this season we get to see Britney Spears being presented to us as a musical genius... I don't think so. Last season the Lady Gaga episode and Madonna episode weren't as forced as these past few celebrity-centric episodes.

The writers need to get back to what drew everyone to show Glee to begin with, It's strong script and characters. I barely felt anything for the Glee club this episode because there's been no story development whatsoever except for that blond kid joining the club and Mercedes, Tina, Kurt and Quinn being romantically paired with their "own kind." Why the hell is Glee becoming so pathetic, It's becoming to show tune heavy as well. I'm hoping the new year bring back the show I wanted to hate but couldn't because it was a solid entertaining piece. *sigh* Time will tell, hopefully if this show is going the way of Heroes Fox will have the forsight to cancel this garbage!


That's right Mercedes! This Season is bullshit!

Am I at least smarter than a fourth grader?

So when registering for Graduate school most colleges look for a GRE score. What is a GRE score you might ask? Well it's pretty much an SAT for college graduates. So if you're planning on studying philosophy, english or photography in graduate school and your designated degree isn't an MFA odds are your going to have to take this test. The test stands for Graduate Record Examination and it's supposed to be determine your level of education.

The test is split up into 3 sections; Quantitative (math), Verbal/reading (duh) and analytical (essays). So if you graduated college thinking "Screw you math! I'm never gonna need you again," you're an idiot and this test exists to prove just that. Now the test sections are scored as following; Verbal and quantitative both run on a 200-800 scale and the analytical runs from 0-6. Now to give you an idea where I fall on the idiot scale I received a combined score of 890 with an analytical score of 2.5 on my practice test. University of Texas is looking for a combined GRE score of 1000-1350... I have a lot of work ahead of me.

According to my place on the GRE scale I'm as average as they come so it looks like for the time being I'm going to be cracking the book.

Wow the passage of time is CA-RAZY!

So I first created this blog in the hopes of continuing to critique some of the popular programming as well films that were currently circulating the television waves. Sadly while my intentions were good my drive was lacking and so the site collected virtual dust as my blissful existence. Since creating this site the Lword has ended and Alice went to prison for Jenny's murder. Rita was murdered by the Trinity serial killer and Heroes finally was finally dumped like the festering disaster it had become (thank god). Oh also Lost ended to but whatever.
So here I am back after a year and a half hiatus with a reinvigorated drive to write on this site. I want to be a Writer! Well I've wanted to be a writer for some time now but I realized something profound to be a writer... you need to write. So here's the plan for my blog I'm planning on writing about the process of applying for grad school. I'm hoping to gain further knowledge on screenwriting, knowledge which can't be gleamed from reading how to books alone.
Besides writing about the process of applying for Grad school I intend to also post blurbs (love that word) about popular programming currently on the air as well as films that are in theater. So yeah that's pretty much that.

Dwight ponders murder on the L-word

So initially I hadn't planned on releasing this list of suspects but the way the show is going I figured what the hey I'll reveal who I think may be Jenny's true murderer. Now most L-word fans are betting on Alice. I find this accusation troubling, would Showtime really wish to make Alice's spin off the American adaptation of Bad Girls? I'm not sure about Alice in prison, I can't really picture her pulling a shiv on Jenny. So I've been pondering and sleeping it over the past few nights and here's who I've narrowed it down to:

Suspect 1. Angelica
Sure it would be shocking, ridiculous and most likely conceived by a retarded monkey and yet have you been watching how the show has turned out this season. Also keep in mind The simpsons did something similar when Maggie shot Mr. burns. Baby Angelica might not be the little sign language knowledgeable artist/scholar prodigy that Bette and Tina have made her out to be. She could be a blood thirsty killer who's thirst for blood can only be quenched by the death of our poor beloved Jenny. plus have you heard how she breaths it just screams creature of the night!



present day Angelica Future Angelica

Suspect 2. Sounder
Enter Suspect 2 mans best friend. Sadly for Jenny that statement may not translate to woman's best friend. Mr. Sounder has quite the temper according to Jenny. He can be quite fussy and hard to please as was the case when Jenny had to fire her first personal assistant due to Mr. Sounder's unstable mood swing over his red ribbon accessories. Could Sounder have killed our favorite film auteur? With Les Girls eating up most of Jenny's time it is quite possible Sounder felt his screen time was getting cut and took drastic measures to amend this error. Could Sounder have done the deed is still a mystery but keep in mind we've yet to see the little murderous dog on the show lately he might be laying low waiting to pounce when Jenny least expects it.


Saint? or Sinner?

Suspect 3. The Crazy Scorpion alien music box from my dream last night
Ok so before you throw out my total and completely idiotic 3rd suspected murderer keep in mind the earlier 2 suspects all had reasonable motives. Angelica's a murderer and Sounder has a temper. Suspect number three encounters Jenny while she's hunting for the lost city of Atlantis with Shane. During their search Jenny realizes she has psychic powers and can move objects with her mind. Some of you may say sci fi doesn't fit the L word but answer me this how is this current murder mystery plot a natural fit for a show about the lives of a group of lesbians in LA. So going back to my theory Jenny uncovers a rare find in Atlantis a scorpion music box and also rescues an infant from an elevator shaft because in dreams nothing makes sense a lot like the direction of this show. So Jenny is about to show her friends this cool music box but the scorpion comes alive and attempts to kill the baby Jenny found but thankfully the Atlantean Keebler Elves Shane and Jenny befriended throw themselves at the scorpion to protect the baby. In her final moments Jenny picks up an apple and shoves it on to the scorpions stinger thus killing the Scorpion music box but sadly Jenny succumbs to the venomous insect's poison. I think my dream is where Ilene Chaiken plans the show to leave off. The spin off could be titled Alice Piezecki paranormal investigator.


Kinda looks like this but with this guy on it

Suspect 4. Dana Fairbank
In Murder mysteries occasionally you have characters returning from the grave for vengeance. Maybe just maybe Dana wants revenge for her representation in Les girls after all Bette wasn't the only character angered by her portrayal in Jenny's interpretation of the events that occurred around her. Dana already reappeared once before to tell Alice to date Tasha, perhaps that wasn't all in Alice's deluded mind. Perhaps Dana wished to move to Miami and live next to Dexter Morgan's girlfriend and have an extremely annoying dog whom mysteriously disappears. Perhaps the L word might have Dana return in a fashion similar to Kimberly's return from the grave on Melrose Place.


Is Dana really Dead?

Suspect 5. Ilene Chaiken
That's right people perhaps Ilene Chaiken killed Jenny. I'm banking on this suspect the most, who else could pull this off but someone who can easily wreak havoc and play god in the Lword universe. She has a history already of pushing characters from acting tolerable to intolerable and back again. Her motives could be that she's just bored and felt that the girls need to remember that in order to live they're happy ridiculous lives in Lword land a blood sacrifice must be made. The Sacrifice, Jenny schecter!

Could she have done it? Could she be responsible for something so ridiculous


Well there you have it my 5 suspects. Remember to keep an eye out for these possible suspects while watching the final season. Who knows the way the show is going so far I could be right.


Hopefully They don't end the show like Rosanne ended. That would be crazy lame if it ended up that the final season were just apart of a crappy novel I was writing<-Jenny's thought as she drifted along at the end of Season 4
