Criminal Minds S06E01 The Longest Night
My lovely Shemar Moore is back in a prominent role as Derek Morgan for the 6th season. The last season left off with Derek getting hurt in the process of trying to save a cop's little girl, and the cop dying.
Spencer Reid's hair on this show has had many different looks, but I don't really like this newest one. It looks as though he allowed it to grow crazily and messily...it actually kind of reminds me of The Mentalist's hair LOL.
Some really cool scenes were the memory scenes of the Prince of Darkness, in which his mother and him are dancing around in a circle. It had several layers of opacity fading in and out, with a yellow tint, and the director wisely used it several times, and also showed how it was just in his dreams, not reality.
Also some really good choices were made to enhance the horror the little girl felt by being with the killer. The sound fading out when she accidentally gets the father killed, and the slow motion wiping of the spit off her cheek. Smart editing.
I'm really sad that the producers have cut the female leads...hello, that'll make it a boys only club GRR. As if to make up for the fact that AJ Cook, who plays JJ, has been cut from the cast, she gets a prominent role in this week's episode. Unfortunately I think it placed a bit TOO much focus on her - a good several minutes is spent just focusing on her phone call frustrations and her talking to the unsub over the radio. It kind of ruins the flow of the show, which I'm guessing is because the writers needed to work in more screen time for her before her cut and weren't prepared.
In any case, I don't understand why they cut AJ and reduced Brewster's episodes, while keeping Mantegna and making a spinoff of CM *sigh.* At least Vangsness is still in the show full-time.

Makeover Pranks
America's Next Top Model S15E03 Patricia Field
When the girls found out that they were having makeovers, some of them decided to play a prank on the others by making up a pretend 'makeover list.' Of course there was some drama when they got their hair done, especially since some thought they were getting something completely different.
While some got super shocking makeovers and rocked it, like Kayla - who got fiery red hair and possibly lost a girlfriend, others started crying when they got shorter haircuts (hello...you already have short hair...) like Terra and Liz. The twist this time was that a girl got sent home immediately. Poor Terra and Chris - they got split up. At the same time, it was obvious that Terra wasn't that strong.
The photo shoot challenge is to be a 'fallen angel' and they have to work it in harnesses in the air. From other seasons, all the whining about the harness hurting has all been heard before, every season the girls are told to suck it up and not let it be heard/seen...and yet some of them STILL complain...why?!?

Liz - nice shot, cool with the wind in the feathers
Chelsea - hmm...okay-ish
Esther - no...just weird
Jane - cool body shot but not good in the face
Kacey - not twisted enough
Lexie - not enough feeling
Sara - not seductive enough, weird, awkward
Chris - pretty in the face, but not in the body
Rhianna - awesome
Kendal - flat
Kayla - so cool, love the hand under chin
Ann - wow, but weird in the mouth

Tyra's pissed off that the girls didn't step up to the plate and super weak this week...and she lets them know it. Ann got best picture again, with Kayla as the runner-up. Although I think it should have been the other way around, I think it was chosen that way because Ann's picture puts the focus completely upon her - that's the photographer's handling though. It finally came down to Lexie and Sara as the bottom two. I knew that Sara was going home though - she's been weak since the beginning.

Hands All Over
Maroon 5's new album, Hands All Over, was released yesterday. Adam Levine's voice is very distinctive, so when I first heard his new single Misery on the radio, I immediately knew it was a Maroon 5 song. The only problem is that several of his songs tend to sound very similar.
For a song of confusion and ending relationships (I wrote 200 letters I'll never send...why won't you answer me/the silence is slowly killing me), Misery is oddly very catchy and upbeat. Give a Little More is not so classically Maroon 5 - the ending portion (I have no defense/I know you're gonna get me in the end) is a good change from the fast tempo.
I like the way Stutter changes the chords around, but I really don't understand singers' fascination with stuttering - there's been at least 3 songs about it recently. Don't Know Nothing and I Can't Lie kind of remind me of oldies songs - Motownish, but I really enjoyed it.
Several of the other songs are slow songs, which isn't very Maroon 5, but they're not bad. Of these songs, Just a Feeling and No Curtain Call are ones that I really liked. The rest of the songs are just okay...nothing really special about them.

Castle S03E01 A Deadly Affair
I was super excited for the season 3 premiere of Castle that premiered yesterday because I loved the past couple seasons full of mystery, intrigue, and comedy - and it fulfilled my every expectation.
The show definitely began with a bang, literally. The opening scenes were ones of chaos, running, and Beckett and Castle pointing their guns and shooting - at each other. The comedic elements were really well done, as always. However, I didn't enjoy the parallels to Castle's 'home life' as much this time around.
Usually the show relies on using the characters of Castle's daughter and/or mother to help him understand how he has blundered in his relationship with Beckett. This time it felt as though the point the writers were trying to make was too blatantly obvious.
Other than that small point, the plot line really captured my attention, as Castle frequently appeared in the right place at the wrong time. I adore this show and can't wait until next week's episode.

Walking around SF town
Normally after walking a lot, my legs twitch in the morning from over-usage. On Sunday morning, however, my legs felt great and my feet weren't sore. So I decided, why not punish them some more XD. I planned on going to another fun event - Comedy Day at Golden Gate Park.
Getting ready to leave was quite a hassle; I kept remembering things I needed/wanted to bring. Having forgotten the sunblock yesterday (and looking at a very prominent tan line), I grabbed some sunscreen, as well as a water bottle, a picnic tablecloth, phone/radio earphones, a camera, and my wallet.
Once I was all prepared, I started heading towards the bus stop...only to realize that I only had about 5 minutes to get there. The Berkeley buses usually run a bit late, so it's not a big deal to get to the stop exactly on time. However, the F bus (which goes across the bay bridge to SF) leaves on time, and sometimes even a bit early. Unfortunately as I was jogging to the bus stop, I could tell that it had already left.
Since the bus runs every half-hour, my choices were to sit down at the stop and read a book, or to walk part-way and catch the bus further down the route. When in doubt, I almost always choose the route of exercise - partly because I don't figure in the time to go work-out. In any case I managed to walk over 2 miles - almost to my friends' house - by the time the next bus came.
After arriving in SF, I walked from the bus terminal all the way to the park, passing several 'shady' parts of town. A good 4 miles walk, it took me about an hour and 10 minutes. Maybe I looked a lot tougher than I felt, but nothing happened, although I did receive several 'who does this girl think she is walking alone' looks. Half the time I was frightened that I would get mugged. However, I put on a brave face, didn't completely make eye contact, kept my camera out of sight and power-walked.
Once I finally arrived in the park, I was half-surprised to notice that not that many people had shown up. The weather was a horrible mist of doom and gloom and at times was more sprinkling than mist, but the comics completely made up for it. The 1st half of comedians weren't that funny, and indeed tended to get just a spattering of laughter - more silence than anything else.
The 2nd half were pretty much all great. Johnny Steele, a host for part of the show, had some amazing practical jokes, like walking into a fast food restaurant and ordering something weird to see them turn around and look. Many people started leaving when the rain started falling more, but I'm happy I stayed because Robin Williams was there. ROBIN WILLIAMS!! It was an amazing show and I'm glad that I went, even though people didn't come with me.
Afterwards I headed over to my friends' house (the same one I almost managed to walk to) because they decided to hold a bar-b-que. Luckily they live along the F bus route that goes to SF, so I easily made it to their place (though I had to sprint to catch the bus and made it with a minute to spare). Predictably, the weather cleared up as I boarded the bus - just in time for me to miss the sunshine. Compare the weather as I was outside to when I was inside the bus.
One of my friends is vegetarian, so it was a vegetarian BBQ with tofu, mushrooms, corn, and veggie burgers. Chips, beer, margaritas, and ice cream sandwiches completed the feast - a fun night overall. Unfortunately it was a Sunday night, so the party broke up relatively early - people still needed to get their homework finished, and get over their sicknesses. Hopefully they didn't pass along the germs, but since I just got over being sick last week, I think I'm relatively safe.

Fest Quest
Health professionals recommend walking at least 10k steps a day for good health, and I normally manage to hit around there per day (7000-9000). However, I've been lazy and taking the bus for the last several days, so my average fell from about 8k daily to 5k this week. So today I had a little walk-fest to make up for the rest of the week.
SF hosted two festivals today 9/18: J-Pop Summit Festival in Japantown and the Autumn Moon Festival in Chinatown. So I walked from the transbay terminal (point A) to Chinatown (point B) to Japantown (circled in red) back to Chinatown and then finally back to the terminal - a total of about 7 miles, which according to my pedometer (sorta) is about 22k steps. O.o My feet don't feel like I've done that much walking, but I guess I did sit down and rest quite a bit.
Since I couldn't catch the earlier bus (it only comes every half-hour), I ended up missing the beginning of both festivals; they both went from 11 am to 6 pm >.< So I went to Chinatown just in time to see the ending of the lion dance (from far away), but wasn't able to get any pictures.
Luckily I was able to see the dragon dance, even if it was performed by middle-school kids so it wasn't super professional or anything. It was actually quite funny to see how they kept stepping on each other. Like many other festivals, there were balloon artists - but they did awesome animals, not just the normal dog/butterfly. I saw a hello kitty balloon, and the guy was twisting some complicated asian monkey when I was passing by, at that point I swear it had 20 different little twist bubbles - though it doesn't really come out in the picture.
After hanging around for about a half-hour, I realized that it was really very similar to the Oakland Autumn Moon Festival I went to a couple weeks ago - a whole bunch of booths selling mooncakes (duh), lots of 'dvds/cds' for sale, tv stations, banks, a food...lots of it. So I decided to hop it and head over to Japantown because I had never been to a J-pop festival-like thing.
On the way to Japantown, I walked up several SUPER-CRAZY streets, and at one point I was panting when I reached the top of the street. The sign said park at 90 degrees, and there was a little picture too. Literally I was looking down and able to see the bay - pretty amazing. Also on the way, I passed several gothic-looking buildings that looked as though they were those old Gaelic medival castles. Of course, they were churches.
Japantown wasn't as crowded as Chinatown was (thankfully), but there were still a good 1000 people there. I headed to the concert area first and checked it out. The first band I saw was SOU, but they weren't that good. Only one person was into them, while a whole crowd of people were just sitting there - not a good start to my J-pop experience.
By then I was getting a little thirsty, it was pretty hot out and I also forgot my sunblock >.< So I went and got a nice boba milk tea, very refreshing. I checked out the food stands too, and they had some pretty cool asian fusion stuff - like seaweed on hotdogs.
Although the hotdogs sounded interesting, I wasn't willing to shell out the money, so I hung around and did other stuff, like check out the stores selling cosplay outfits and an art gallery, which was all red and cool. I found a cute little stand that sold hats, hairbands, headbands, jewelery...pretty much all the accessories a girl could wish for. I found an awesome hairband which worked really well with my hair and complexion, but it cost $15. If I wore that kind of stuff more frequently I might have bought it, but I know I'd just stick it down somewhere and almost never wear it...so I let it go.
Yes, I'm squinting it that picture (it was really bright!) After that, there was an anime cosplay contest! Unfortunately, this being America, the cosplayers here aren't that good...so I didn't really take that many pictures. The winner of the contest got 'big prizes' which turned out to be more cosplaying clothes LOL. There was only one guy who I thought was worthy of being called cosplayer...but he didn't win! (He did get the most requests for pictures though).
Then an AWESOME band came on called Jinny Oops! Apparently they're pretty well-known because they got everyone pumped up, and had tons of people crowded around the stage yelling that they loved them. I got right up next to the stage - and managed to hurt one of my ears >.< but in exchange I got some awesome pics and video clips of them. I also managed to run out of camera batteries because of them, but I ended up using my camera phone for the rest of the pictures.
There was also a graffiti artist spray painting a huge mural for the entire 6 hours of the festival, and during that time people could make a silent bid on it for charity. It was pretty crazy because each time I walked by it looked really different, and had added complexity. I'm surprised he could work on it the full time in the heat!
Then there was a harajuku fashion show, with the fashion (and some girls) coming straight from Japan! It was way to neon-y bright for me. Bright pinks and greens dominated the show, with several yellows there too. Ughh...yes it's supposed to be all bright and punky and cute, but still...neon?!? Those are the colors I hate the most!
There wasn't really much else to do after that - unless I wanted to watch an air guitar competition >.> count me out. So, I decided I should get back to Chinatown and grab a roast duck. When I got there, I called a friend to get the name of a famous Chinatown bakery from them. To my surprise, they were in Chinatown when I called, but not for the festival, which cracked me up. They meant to go, but set out too late...so they were going to go to Fisherman's Wharf.
We went to Golden Gate Bakery, and got their famous egg tarts - even though it took 45 minutes of waiting time, during which I practiced my Cantonese with a fellow line-waiter, someone who reminded me of my mom. We almost didn't even get egg-tarts because they were out, but we were lucky and got the last batch - after much arguing from other customers. Wanting to enjoy our treat, we went to a milk-tea shop and grabbed a couple drinks. I got matcha green tea icey with red beans...yummy.
The egg tarts really were as good as the rave reviews. A fluffy crust and perfectly cooked custard. It was interesting to look at the texture of it and see it jiggle more than normal. YUMMM. Unfortunately, by then it was too late to grab any roast duck and most of the places were closed. I decided to ask for a recommendation for a good roast duck place from the tea shop people. They gave it to me, and also advised me to come at 8 or 9 in the morning to get good ones. >.> No way I'm coming out that early just for duck...thanks, but no thanks...I'll just get it from them later, LOL.
I had just enough time to get walk back to the bus terminal, and caught the bus with a couple minutes to spare. The F bus, which crosses the bridge to SF only runs hourly at night, so I was super lucky for that to happen. I was power-walking by the end of it because I was hoping that I wouldn't just miss the bus - not that I knew what time it left.
I was hoping to get this post out on the 18th, but I've missed that mark by 8 minutes *sigh*

ANTM's back...Cycle 15 O.o
America's Next Top Model S15E01 Welcome to High Fashion
America's Next Top Model S15E02 Diane Von Furstenberg
Can't believe that it's back...how is it still going?? But it's my guilty pleasure, so... >.> Love the drama? Not really, it kinda wears me out...but I love seeing how the not pretty girls turn SUPER pretty in the right settings. Since not all that much happened in the first episode besides meeting the girls, I'm writing about both episodes 1 and 2.

The Girls

WOW, already have a favorite (Rhianna - the willow) her poses are awesome, and she seems super chill. I like Liz also, she's got a nice strong face, and she doesn't look like she'll pose mean - plus she seems very down-to-earth. Esther has CRAZY boobs...36 G?? Geez. Jane needs to stop playing (or being) the rich bitch. Kendal had the funniest intro: she doesn't like semen? LOL. Funniest quote too 'I just like to cuddle...something wrong with cuddling??'
The sisters are too much...tone it down! But I think Chris is prettier right now...we'll see. Jordan is already annoying me, if she's so against consumerism, why does she want to be a model? And I hate her hair; it drives me nuts! When they showed a clip of her by the pool, it looked completely different (i.e. much better). Lexie's pretty, but we'll see how much I like her later.
6'2" Ann is freaking TALL AND SKINNY...like CRAZY SKINNY!! I don't mind her, but she's soo skinny it looks like she's kind of got an adam's apple, and her voice is deep too. Her description of the perfect man is reminding me of a video game character loll.

Of the girls they showed that went home, I really disliked Vanessa...she was so stuck-uppity. Emily took it really well, she sucked it up and said 'I'll be okay; I'm a big girl.'
Unsurprisingly, there are no plus-size girls this cycle...it's Italian Vogue and I.M.G. Models >.> Basically in Europe the models tend to be skinnier than normal and weirder looking, so there's no way Tyra is going to try to break that mold for plus-size models. She may be able to do it in America, but she can't change the opinions of the entire European market.
Drama
How do they manage to get drama in the very first episode?? *sigh* They've played up racism and girls not wanting to be there. 'If you can't handle the heat, get out the kitchen,' omg don't like >.> If you're gonna say something with emphasis...in my book at least say it correctly! In the second episode, we see Anamaria being crazy arrogant - and perhaps she's a bit anorexic? She doesn't seem super skinny when clothed, but when they come off, all I see are bones bones bones, no muscle/fat. But she thinks she needs to be leaner >.> No, girl, you need to put on some muscle!
Challenge
They're walking in the air in an actual Diane von Furstenburg show?? And doing their own hair and makeup?? WHAT?? I don't understand this sky runway walk >.> People can look up your skirt/dress...WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? Anamaria, why do you have to be so annoying arrogant? Rhianna what is that walk...*yawn*. Sara did really well.
The Shoot
Their shoot this week was about teen bullying and getting past it. A good theme (like all ANTM shoots, it's a good message to be promoting). Poor Kayla broke down about her word and how she had to change schools because of it - she's a lesbian - but she chose well for her power word (free). She's a winner in my book ^.^ Several of the girls had problems, and Terra even broke down from nerves...not a good start to the show.

Lexie - gorgeous, love the eyes and
Kacey - don't like the head tilt backwards
Jane - don't like >.> can't really say why
Kayla - soo pretty, love that the 'free' on her neck really stands out
Liz - reminiscent of a rock and roll star, but not model-ly
Esther - not good, awkward not in a good way
Kendal - niice, but why the white eyes? better makeup pleaseee
Sara - borinnnggg, too cookie cutter
Terra - faded into the background
Chris - good pose, but not in the eyes
Chelsea - good, but kinda crazy
Rhianna - didn't like...but I don't want her to go home
Anamaria - yuck, but pretty face
Ann - wow, pleasantly surprised, and she looks really pretty

So it came down to Terra and Anamaria. I pretty much guessed that Anamaria would go because of being too skinny. Tyra likes to send good messages through this show, and body image is a big part of that.
