Vampire Diaries, late text chat, #6

thinkRebecca had already watched.  Leah is catching up.

L: Watching VD #6 to catch up where I left off. Your boy [Klaus] is telling Elena about killing the hunter.
L: Ha ha Elena: I am nothing like you. Katherine: I was you before you even existed.
R: Love Katherine
L: I almost feel bad that they made Bonnie such a pawn
R: Bonnie is so dumb and can't even do magic. Bonnie = Matt
L: I'll say it again, poor Matt
L: Ha ha Katherine is listing off all of the friends of Elena who got hurt because of her
L: So is this the turning point where we all get over Stef/El?
R: I'm all about Caroline/Klaus
L: Ha ha Damon: the witch who loses her powers gets left out of the important conversations
L: So do you still think Tyler and the wolf girl F-ed?
R: That was a good ep
R: Tyler is boring
R: Klaus is hot and scary
L: Elena being so upset about being a vampire is a little ridiculous.  Stop sleeping with one then.
L: Oh god here's the bridge again.
L: HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS CHICK NEED TO BE RESCUED FROM THE SAME PLACE
R: Hahaha
R: If I thikn about it Elena is being a self hating racist
L: Self loathing?
R: That's it
L: Funny how when Steafn comes she sees the hunter but when Damon is there she's totally fine huh
L: This fake hybrid is dead right?
L: Yeah kill her Klaus!
L: Yeppppp
R: Klaus wants her to be human more than anyone
L: Ohhhhhh Jeremy killed him! Nice.  About time that bro did something for his sis
L: Why would Klaus want her human? Doppelganger crap again?
R: Needs more hybrid
L: Lots of Damon Elena bonding....
R: Also needs more Katherine
L: He told her about the cure. GD.
L: Oh god Tyler he wasn't your friend.  Also I think you [Rebecca] are going to be happy about your Klaus Caroline dream.
L: Matt has a part!!
L: Blogging this, you have anything else to say?
L: He's threatening Jeremy right
[apparently Rebecca took a break right about here]
L: That's cool that she's 18 and just has this huge gorgeous home that apparently needs no mortgage payment or bills.  Also if Stefan is just going to serve her on a silver platter to Damon then F him.
[Rebecca's back!]
R: The part where Damon is at the bar and orders Ric a drink?
R: Love
L: SAMR
R: Matt is too dumb to be Damon's new bro
L: This is dumb. I'm 50% done with this show.  Stop apologizing constantly Stefan.  It's boring.
L: Ok done.  Do I have more?
R: Nope done!
R: YOU CAN'T BE DONE WITH VY
R: I think all of our shows have been not great
L: Really?!  That's it with VD?  That's the only one I'm caught up on!  They're ALL bad?!
R: Ashley from Greek was on the last ep of 90210.
R: Which has been decent.
R: GG is fucked up.

[GG spoilers to follow]

R: I'm so glad Max and Naomi ended up together
L: If you're fucking with me and they don't end up together I will be pissed.
R: I love them together. Would not joke
R: Care more about their relationship than real people's

R: And I hope that Elena dies
R: Again
R: For real
R: This time
L: Ha ha add that to the group text

Archie shoes-Probably the Best Shoes...Ever?

I have seen these a TON of times on theberry.com and this seemed like a project I could do pretty easily.

Most of the shoes were done in super hero comics which looked great because of the glossy paper that the comics are printed on.  I have never felt strongly towards any superhero before so decided to go a different route.  I have this weird love for Archie, I used to sit at my grandma's house and read and reread the ones that she still had from the 70s.  Veronica has always been my favorite, Leah likes Betty.


On to the project--

I got the Archie comic at Half Price books for a dollar.  I was worried that it was going to smear or fade because the comics were printed on newspaper-like paper.  I did a test on a piece of cardboard to see how it was going to look after it dried.  It turned out surprisingly great.  The decoupage glue just smells like Elmer's glue but dries clear and much more solid than regular glue.

The shoes I used were ones that I did not want to part with.  They are so comfortable and fit great but were so scuffed and breaking at the seams that I couldn't wear them anymore.


The decoupaging was SO MUCH WORK.  Each shoe took me about an hour.  Trying to find enough pictures that fit right and to get them glued on without any wrinkles was so hard.  Plus I had to have EVERY inch covered so that took longer to fill in little spaces that I missed.  And you have to know your hands are going to be sticky and gross there is no way around it.

Finished!

VD #4 thoughts

First of all I loved this episode. I’m so surprised Lorelai and Rebecca hated it.

Secondly my god Damon, get over her.  She is worthless to you and you are so much better (and more fun).  Let it go bro.  Find a new hot gal to f.

Thirdly, really Stefan is going to lie to everyone?  Stefan?  Please.

And last, everyone saw that coming, with the prof and the hunter, right? 

Grade: B+

More to follow.  Watching non-sports TV on the weekend?  Eek!  I must be busy at work.

-Leah 11/15/2012

P.S. I am legitimately sad Matt and Rebekah aren't going to work out.  Anyone else?

WE ARE SO FAR BEHIND!

For some reason in the last 2 weeks Leah and I have gotten so far behind on TV.  I don't know what happened.  All of a sudden we have 3 episodes of Revenge, 2 episodes of VD and a TON of other shows.

 A lot of shows are in a storyline slump right now, I can't think of one show that has a great storyline that I'm excited to watch every week. Leah told me that she is excited to catch up with all the Revenge we have to watch.

I did finish Downton Abbey. The last episode was really good, but I'm not quite sure where else they can go with it.  All I have left is the christmas special that doesn't air for a couple of weeks.

So the plan this week is for us to catch up with TV this week, wish us luck!
