 9) Boe

10) Roman Paradox

I’m really, really pissed. Why? I watched what’s most likely the last episode of Community in a very long time.

And it was SO AWESOME! They finally made a Glee parody. Ever since Jeff’s “I hate Glee”, I was hoping for another nods. And after they began the parodies, my top choice for one was always Glee.

And they got every damn thing right on spot. I watch Glee and the show is enjoyable for a good portion of the time, not to mention that, even though they can mess up with the soundtrack sometimes, the songs are well chosen. But the Regionals obsession, the psychotic teacher with the endless collection of vests and the guy in the piano are three of the things that make Glee what it is, for good or for bad.

I cold go on about how brilliant this episode was, but I’m not sure I can do this. If, by some miracle, NBC decides to give the show a fourth season, it’d be awesome. But that is so unlikely that even a magazine here in Brazil acknowledges it.

Right now, all fans of Community are dreaming about the six seasons and a movie that the show deserves. Sadly, we shall never see it.

Well, I was reading Huck Finn, but then I went to the bookstore and I kind of stopped. Why? Well, I saw that they finally released And Another Thing… here in Brazil.

That’s the Brazilian cover of And Another Thing

Here’s the thing; Eoin Colfer made a really bad move. This book shouldn’t have been written. But he did, so be it.

Just one thing that really pissed me off. Thor. The book says clearly that Gods exist.  That would be enough to regret spending my money on the damn thing. Is a real compliment to Colfer that I was able to ignore that enough to be drawn into the story.

The book by itself quite good, as far as I read, and much better than one would’ve expected. But it doesn’t mean it was a good idea, because the main problem lies on the fact that it’s not a book by itself. Douglas Adams is the only one who can live up to Douglas Adams. The story often feels like a mediocre fanfic, and the really good parts are only close to Adam’s worst moments (that’s saying a lot), but is pleasant enough if you have no expectations and a great desire to sit again with a Hitchhiker’s Guide book in hands. Even if the name on the cover isn’t Douglas Adams.

These vacations will be one of the most tiresome I’ve had. I decided I’m gonna make a better use of my time, and that means studying. My grades were good enough to justify a long time of doing nothing (actually, they were good enough to justify anything I want, because my average was more or less 9.7. And there’s the arrogance from the blog’s title), but I feel like I need to have more discipline. Because I always leave the study to the very week before the exams. It’s been working, but it’s wrong.

And again, the internet is one of the greatest inventions ever. In my list, it loses only to books, coffee and chocolate. You know, my list of inventions that actually matter in my mundane life. Because the wheel was the single most important thing to come out the human mind. Although books are right there with it.

Anyway, I’ll use pretty much the internet to help me. I’m going deep in math and programming, but I could use a few more people skills. Unfortunately, I still can’t learn it from books.

I can’t walk into a bookshop. Not with money. Is not healthy for me.

Whenever I go to buy something specific, I end up with three or four books, none of which is the one I actually wanted to buy.

I have four goals on this matter. Let’s see which one I’ll finish first;

• Buying all of Shakespeare pocket books

In Portuguese, of course. I always found amusing when people in TV shows complained about reading Shakespeare, because is not so hard in Portuguese.

Then, I read Much Ado About Nothing. Original.

My head still aches from the memories.

• Reading (and having) all of Jane Austen’s novel. English and Portuguese

I bought Emma in Portuguese two days ago. I already have Pride And Prejudice, also in Portuguese, and in English I have Emma and Mansfield Park. Unlike Shakespeare’s plays, I hate reading her books in the computer.

• Getting Neil Gaiman’s books, including “graphic novels”

I just want to laugh at this term. Graphic novels. No idea why. Anyway, I have Good Omens and Fragile Things in English. The first was written with Terry Pratchett, and a lot is missed with the translation, and the latter has The Day The Saucers Came. I saw it and bought it. But the rest I’ll buy in Portuguese, the translation is very good. But I read most of them in the computer.

• Anything by Terry Pratchett

After I read Good Omens, I needed to read something he wrote alone. I actually downloaded all of his books from Discworld, but I’m hoping to get my hands in an copy before I have to give in to e-books. They’re useful, but they’re not the same.

Honestly, this is the most difficult one. I’d have to buy it from Amazon or something, and I don’t have the card to do so. :(

Fall season is the one where all the “big” new shows are presented to us in all their glory. Last year was painful, but this years there were some really good ones.

Starting by what’s my favorite so far; Once Upon a Time. The whole idea behind the story seemed so damn silly I almost didn’t watch it, but the pilot was sooo good. And all the five episodes so far are so adorable and better than anyone in their right minds would expect. 

Then there’s Homeland, the best so far. Not my favorite, sure, but the thing is so damn perfect, I haven’t found a single flaw so far. Everything that has the potential to be one is too small to actually interfere. And that opening is fucking brilliant.

Suburgatory is the biggest surprise. Jane Levy is one of my favorite actress since the Pilot of the show. Then I realized she’s also one my favorite characters in Shameless US, Mandy. I hope she comes back in Season 2, by the way. Dallas, however, is the true star of the show. She steals every scene she’s in. Cheryl Hines is brilliant.

The one other new show I’m watching is New Girl, and although is cute and everything, is too ordinary, and could easily go off one’s watch list. Zooey Deschanel is nowhere as good as her sister.
