Most of my waking hours lately have been focused either towards working on my thesis proposal or worrying about how I'm not working on my thesis proposal. The leftover time has been spent watching Veronica Mars, holed up in my bedroom in front of the little television. (I'm working on my fic for [livejournal.com profile] worldwouldend, the incredibly generous person who won my services in the Help Haiti auction.)

But I keep getting stuck on a single thought as I re-watch certain parts of season three, one that continually makes me giggle: it's like Piz has absolutely zero self-preservation instincts. In one of the first episodes of the season, he watches Veronica calmly hand Logan a taser so that he can stun the much larger dude who is beating up his drunk best friend in the school cafeteria. This establishes the rule that, had Piz only observed it, might have saved him a beating: Logan and Veronica are fucking crazy. No person in their right mind would get between those two. Lives ruined, bloodshed ? These are not metaphors. These are highly literal descriptive terms. At the time Piz was even wearing clothes left behind by Veronica's previous ex, who fled the country with his daughter by a deceased high-school classmate and was later accused of the murder of his own sister by Logan's crazy-evil movie star dad PIZ, AT THIS POINT, MAYBE YOU SHOULD RUN. If Piz was my friend, I would have taken him aside and been like "would you like to keep your optimistic outlook and all the bones in your face ? Maybe date Parker, or someone named Allison or Tracey or Stephanie."

Oh well. It's not a terribly serious thought. Just one that's making me both lol and pine for the epic days of Logan and Veronica.

...hello everyone, please run in the opposite direction from these two balls of massive crazysauce issues.

Truer words were never typed, drunk, by a genius. ♥

It's like no character in season three had a "Hannah's mother" moment, you know, where she watches the Tinseltown Diaries and is like THIS IS THE BOY YOU ARE DATING, OK NO. You'd think that someone would have watched Piz trying to lie down on the train tracks of Veronica & Logan, and been like, "I should tell you something about those two very pretty people."

And I don't think that being damaged or having issues means that you can't have a happy, healthy relationship- I just facepalmed endlessly when Piz expected to walk into a happy, healthy relationship with Veronica immediately after meeting her, and did not notice the giant blinking I HAVE LOGAN ISSUES AND LOGAN HAS VERONICA ISSUES signs floating over both their heads.

Watching VM again has been kind of awesome. I'm remembering why I loved it so much.

Yeah, like, was Wallace not Piz's roommate? THEY WERE FRIENDS, RIGHT? WERE THEY NOT FRIENDS?



Also, Hannah. yipes.

Yeah. I figure that Wallace didn't want to overstep as far as Veronica's privacy, but at a certain point it's like "WHY ISN'T ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING ?" Just a couple of lines like, "they have a history, and you shouldn't get involved. The last few people who majorly messed with their lives were a.) blown up on a plane, b.) flattened from a dive off the Grand, c.) shot in the face in their own hotel suite." And then hopefully Piz would have been like YOU KNOW, PARKER IS QUITE PRETTY and I would have breathed a sigh of relief.

Ohh Hannah. I still don't even know how to feel about that arc, and it's been what, like four years ? I am perhaps overinvested.
