I got a new bed. Hopefully, I will get some pictures of the bed soon.
The other thing is working.
Not much is really going on. I am catching up on Bones and House since I missed the begining of those shows this year.
I did find an interesting show. I fell in love with "Instant Star". Mostly, the music is the hook. I started watching the re-runs of the show before the new season. They just aired the last episode of the show, and like most things I am mixed on the ending. I am just going to have to live off of fanfics to get an ending I enjoy on both parts.
"Instant Star" is about a young teen who wins the Instant Star contest. Jude Harrison won and with that a 3 album contract. She grows as an artist with sexy bad boy Tommy Q of Boyz Attack and stays ground with her sister Sadie and her best friend Jamie.
It is the songs which are really what makes the show work. The beginning of the series, the song was whatever happen in the epsiode. Yet, this worked. As the characters grew, so did the storyline.
Of course, there has to be a big drama of love and this show had it. To explain, I will let Jamie take over:
Let I said above what made the show was the songs. I love the song "Skin". It breaks your heart when you hear the words. The song and the episode wasn't just some "Boy breaks Girl Heart". It was her father breaking her heart. Jude found out her father was cheating on her mother. She found what she need to write a kick ass song.
You couldn't help but want Jude and Tommy to get together. As Jude said in the first episode, "You are everything I hate about music" but she feels for him. Those two are great together not only in making music but they complete each other in the end. They have their issues but it is water over or under the bridge. Alex and Tim have great chemistry together. They it seem like they are those characters and they are in love with each other.
He asked her to marry him. She said yes, but it didn't stay. I can understand why Jude would say no in the end. She wants to live a little and to do the "rockstar" thing. Tommy got to get his "rockstar" side out of his system. And this doesn't mean Jude doesn't love Tommy. I always felt Tommy will always be that love of her life no matter where she is in life. BUT I so was hoping and wishing they could still be together.
The hottest kiss ever ...
There were a lot of things left open in the series ending. Does Sadie have a new man in her life? What is going to happen to Speed and Karma? What about Tommy? Is he going to stay at G-Major or leave? What about Jamie's label?
Yes, the show ends with Jude no longer being known as the "Instant Star" and finally put her in as a "rockstar", but there were so many unanswered stories. The series was about Jude being an "Instant Star" and the ending of the series is her taking a new direction. A new label, a new country, and no one there -- no Sadie, no Jamie, no Tommy. She is leaving the nest and going out into the big world. I get it and understand the directions the writers were going. I just wished for a little bit more.
Oh well, fanfics here I come ...

The finale tore my heart. I totally agree with Jude's decision, but the way she did it made me disappointed and really upset. I hated that he was there smiling and waiting for her, and then... she broke up with him on stage. I wish they had mentioned that Tommy couldn't go with her because of the fact that Darius owns him for three years or that they had actually shown her thinking about it and making the decision and giving us a hint that while she needs to be alone now and find out who she is without GMajor and without Tommy, they would one day be together again... Just something. *sigh* Alexz Johnson's podcast though on the-n.com made me feel a lot better after being really bitter with the finale. And the goodbyes from the cast made me nearly cry.
The mini "That Was Us" now makes so much sense though. And it still makes me cry. I completely forgot about it, but it definitely should have been playing in the background at the end.
(Her words though--"If I had to make a choice, there's no contest. I'm a rockstar"--sort of made me hate her at the end. Because of it's implications... even though I know what they were trying to do with that statement. And the fact that she never personally says goodbye to Tommy at the end made me annoyed)
I felt Jude "breaking up" with Tommy on stage was also as bad as writing a "Dear John letter". Which has happen in another show I watch.
I agree the writers could have done something better to let Jude break away from Tommy.
I still liked the episode as a whole. It seems like the writers were thinking there was a chance another season could have happen with some of the open stories. For a season ending, over all a fantastic episode. As a series ending, not so much.
Oh well, my disappointment will past. It will just take a while for it to happen.
Glad to know there are more people like me out there.
I hated that she didn't talk to him about it. I know that shared smile at the end was supposed to provide closure (it seemed like he understood her decision and I hope it meant that there would be time for them to get together in the future) but it barely suffices. But yes, as a season finale, that episode was amazing. I hope the unfinished storylines mean that they'll somehow find a way to tie things up in a Mini or a movie eventually, but for now, I'm okay. (And the podcast on the-n.com gave me some much needed closure.)
I have heard the song "Chicago". Great song. I can't wait for her CD.
*Crosses fingers for Mini or "made movie for The N".*
Yeah, a movie/mini is necessary at this point (I don't know if they'll make a mini though. the last mini, it seems, is 2 AM and that one makes me just as sad as the finale).
