~*Criminal Minds Night - Marathon

So my friend and I decided that throughout the school year we would watch the ENTIRE series of Criminal Minds (1-5); where we decided to call it 'Criminal Minds Night'. 
~* Kicked off the marathon by purchasing a cake (pictured above).
~* First night watched episodes 1 and 2 of Season 1
~* At this point we have watched episodes 1,2, 3, 4 & 5 (so we still have a long way to go).

As you can see the cake itself has 'Criminal Minds Night' written on it where yes I did have to ask someone to put it on (which was slightly embarrassing ...lol!) However, the funniest thing happened when I was going through the check out; the lady noticing the cake asked me if it was my birthday where I said no...then she looked at the cake where she let out a laugh...she then said I've seen so many things written on cakes but never this. I then filled her in on the 'Criminal Minds Night' marathon that my friend and I planned where she let out another laugh and said she had to tell her husband about this b/c he loved Criminal Minds!!

~*Random SNL clip of the Week!!


 Inside the Actor's Studio: SNL Spoof. 
Pictured above is Will Ferrell (James Lipton) with 'guest' Alec Baldwin.
From this particular spoof came the infamous word 'Scrumtrulescent'. Unfortunately I could not find a video that had the skit in it's entirety, all I could find was a sound bit of Will Ferrell pronouncing the word:

~*Random Picture of the week

~*Criminal Minds: Good Bye JJ !!

If you're a BIG Criminal Minds fan (like me) you would know that the character JJ (A.J. Cook) left the BAU team in the episode that aired this past Wednesday. Although, the news of her 'exit' from the show was plastered all over the internet it did not make it any easier to watch JJ leave. Apparently the company had to perform some cutbacks due to financial reasons (as it is always the case). A.J.'s character wasn't the only one who was affected by this cutback but Paget Brewster's character (Emily Prentiss) is only going to appear in ten episodes of Season 6. In my opinion I'm not really sad to hear that Agent Prentiss' time is being cutback because well I'm not fond of her and in all honesty I wish it was her who left and not JJ. Although, all of the characters on the BAU are of significance I truly believe that JJ had an integral role; being the BAU's liaison (communicating with the media). She's the one that lets the outside world know what is going on with that specific case and she answers any questions that they may have to the best of her ability. With that in mind she is a very charismatic person, she obviously has good people skills and she displays empathy/sympathy towards the victims. All of these qualities that I just listed aren't really shown by the other characters; Emily may be able to do her job (but her time is being cutback), Reid would just annoy every one with his randomness (dragging out his answers), Hotch well he isn't really approachable, Rossi is just plain intellectual and Morgan would most likely just get pissed off. Anyways, as you can probably tell I am upset that JJ left!
