David Tennant's (long overdue) face of the day

I won't even bother with explanation at this point. It's always the same thing, by the time I get home at the end of the day I'm way too exhausted to look at anything other than Netflix. Phineas & Ferb has taken over my nights, and I'm loving it.

Bright side? Spring Break. Not going anywhere that I know of (you'd be surprised at how many times I end up doing things I was previously unaware I was going to be doing...don't be dirty, though that is wot she said), not doing anything...other than a lot of school work actually...but it should mostly be fun, relaxing times.

I hope the weather agrees with me. In the meantime, accounting research for a hypothetical Sci-Fi/Fantasy exclusive, e-book original YA publishing house. Guess wot we're, hypothetically, calling it. I'll give you a hint, it has to do with our lovely Mr. Whedon. 

Once Upon a Time

Apparently, while I was raving like a fangirl about NBC's Grimm and it's connection to Buffy (through producer association) I was completely unaware of another faerie tale style show that's being made, but this time by Lost producers and on ABC (naturally). As a former fan of Lost (I fell out of the loop after the third season, and then never found the time to go back...and then discovered Doctor Who), I'm actually excited about this one too...because, well, there's a trailer and it looks really good (in my opinion). Therefore, for you Lost fans out there, I give you: Once Upon a Time

The premise of this particular show seems to be a little different. Instead of being a cop show where the true nature of people start revealing themselves, i.e. they're actually monsters from Grimm's stories, it's more that there are two parallel worlds, one with evil queens and heroes and dragons and magic, and one 'normal' one. Wot people don't seem to realize (except for one little boy, naturally, who has a book) is that the people in reality are actually in the story book too, so anything that happens to them in this book/parallel reality happens to them in the real world as well.

Overall, this fall seems to be a good time for faeries and monsters in television. I wonder wot the new trend in books will be.

Grimm

Fans of Buffy and Angel and their creators rejoice! Our wonderful David Greenwalt, executive producer extraordinaire (only slightly behind Joss Whedon in awesome ranking, and his tendencies to create wonderful cult hits...though that's more him being a creator and writer than a producer) is executively producing a new fantasy/supernatural/cop show entitled Grimm.

Yes, Grimm, as in the Grimm brothers, as in the faerie tales. Now, I don't know about you guys, but as a lover of cop/detective shows to begin with (Castle and Bones to name my favourites...yes, apparently I follow the actors that Mr. Whedon basically brings to light. I can't help it, I've been in love with David Boreanaz since I was eight. Also, CSI: Miami to name my guilty pleasures) and as a fanatic when it comes to fantasy and supernatural things, reading the about page caused my excitement level to rise exponentially with each line.

And then I saw David Greenwalt's name. That, more or less, sealed the deal. NBC, don't let me down.

This pretty-eyed boy is David Giuntoli, the lead in the show.
