I Just Can't Walk Away

Okay, watching PLL on ABC Family's site blows.

That out of the way, we move on and get ready for our Homecoming disaster.

( Episode 1x06 )

pictures are courtesy of rawr_caps and yes this means that because I kept you/me waiting, this one is illustrated. Sadly, no Ella in the episode. And there's a decided lack of Aria or Ezra in this because they bored me this go round. [/end disclaimer]

I promise that eventually you'll get something more than PLL updates. Until then, have your weekly dose of Holly delivered to your door. Or something.

Another still from episode #5:


( one and a half more... )

We've got crappy videos!

( Really. )

I did mention they got their 12 episode pick-up, right? To complete their season, which in ABC family terms means they'll be ruining whatever you watch in the fall/winter/something by making you choose.

( Holly interview )

Hmm. I've heard conflicting things now. Some say the first three books are season 1, some say the first four, and Holly seems to believe they'll be doing the entire book series the first season. o_O

An additional still from episode 1x05:



Credit (and larger versions of the other stills from this episode) belongs to Just 4 Holly's Fans. I'm a snob and I cringe at the title, but I appreciate the dedication to the cause.

( Brief Holly interview-ish video thing )

She only shows up for half a second or so, but it's a cute half a second.

And non PLL news: If you have never had to empty out the washer water that's been sitting there for entirely too long, I do not ever suggest it. I thought I'd gag. It was... who the hell... I lack the words! It finally dawned on me that if sandblasting the litter boxes and their surrounding areas didn't do it, maybe the funk was in the laundry room. I didn't realize that when the washer died, no one had fully emptied out the water. Ugh. Again, nearly died.

It's Monday, so that means it's time for the PLL Holly round-up.

These are from episode 1x05 Reality Bites Me.


( Speculation and pictures, ahoy! )

Now I'm off to ponder my birthday gift to meeeeeeee. And make a PLL icon or twelve.

The next time I say I'm going out into the world searching for something, ask yourself it it's summer where I am. If the answer is yes, smack me. Hard. Well, first ask if the a/c in the car is working, then when I say, "Dunno? No?" SMACK ME.

My trip to TRU was mostly a failure. Le sigh. Widget was a pain in the arse from the second we got to the stop light in front of the shopping center to the moment we got home. Which I don't understand. If it'd had just been him being keyed up, I'd get it. Toy store. Happiest Friggin' Place On Earth when you've got a $3 credit to your name and there are clearance stickers all over the place. But no. There was sulking and severe attitude right up until he was dragged to guest services and they started to blow up a balloon for him. (belated birthday celebration, y'know)

Sadly, it's the start of summer (though, for us, it's actually getting close to midsummer because summer started sometime back in April) and the store looked less than... loved. I wonder if it seemed as sad to munchkin? Doesn't matter. No Monster High. No place for it. No stuff for it. The woman Mums asked said, "Monster... High? What's that? A cartoon or something?" How does one explain MH? Anyway, this woman was either very nice and looked it up and around the store and everything just in case, or she went to the back of the store and hid a lot. I don't really know. Point is, eventually she came back with, "not in the system. Maybe sometime before school starts?"

Now, I know better than to believe this. But still. Frick!

Ah well. I should be saving or spending on Dad. Yes. That's it.

Best Stupid Idea of the Day:
  If the front part of the fan (the grill) is being assaulted by the fan blades because the fan is a little too cheaply made to be put together properly, just take the damn grill off for the time being. Result? Less than totally safe fan that brings cool, cool air to me. HUZZAH. Also, time to find one of the two tank tops you own and sit here until the cool air circulates.

I am not made for the summer. It's just... ugh.

For those still interested, you can get the PLL pilot on iTunes for free: Here
The Jenna Thing (episode 2) Holly picture goodness:

And now, PLL.
( Got a secret... )

Overall, I'm intrigued. You can catch the pilot on Hulu or at abcfamily's site here.
