Elizabeth Keen feels

This should have been posted on 27 March 2017, Monday.

I kind of got locked out last night and was too tired to wait any further. Going to Antipolo was not even an option, unless I go having self-declared holiday. So I decided to spend the night somewhere else. It was not the first time.

This reminds me of the time when Liz was on the run from Tom and Berlin. But she seemed comfortable minus the security threats.

The options available, as I was hoping I could find a really better place without breaking the bank, were very limited. I ended up opting for the Orange Apartelle. I spent P650 for a 12-hour rate.

I just needed a place to crash and of course take a shower. The latter was more important. I actually reckoned sleeping at T2 but the shower part would be a challenge.

I was glad to find two towels and a linen (it looked more like one than a blanket) in a plastic laundry shops usually used for freshly-washed clothes. Ligong-ligo na talaga ako. There was also a small bar soap but I've just bought a soap, thankfully, that I doubled as facial wash, which was fine. Unfortunately, they did not provide free shampoo and conditioner. I was already naked when I found out.

The bathroom was my disappointment. The room rate was supposed to be for a newly renovated room, as claimed. The toilet flush didn't work. Going the old-school way was not even easy. I had to fill the pail with around half of its capacity and empty it with some force. The faucet seemed clogged or something because it wasn't emptying water in a straight and full manner. It was spurting that I had to adjust the position of the pail. Meanwhile, the shower nozzle had a very limited range and was emptying water without giving one some satisfaction. 

Every bathroom entry got me thinking, if only I had enough to spare I would've gone to a hotel instead. Btw, their cable tv wasn't also working. There was probably some signal problems. Good thing I didn't care much about it as I just really needed to rest and sleep right away.

However, I am not sure if I am rested as my sleep was interrupted. I've been waking up every hour. Almost every time I did so, I thought it was already time to prepare. I even almost dressed for work the first time I woke up had I not seen the time. It was annoying because I was aiming for straight hours of sleep.

Now I wonder what was going on.

Tu me manques...

I can't wait for September. I miss Blindspot and The Blacklist. The next/latest seasons will premiere on September 14 and 22, respectively.

Just three weeks to go to finally see Jane Doe, Kurt Weller, Patterson, Dr. Robert Borden, and the rest of the NY gang.I miss 'em all but mostly these ones I named.

Speaking of Patterson and Borden, I think they are cute together. I'd like them to end up together. That'd be sweet. But that would be a conflict, since Dr. Borden is the resident psychiatrist of the unit. Basically, Patterson and the rest of the gang are his patients.

But they're just so cute together. Perhaps they can just be close friends. Very close friends that you'd wonder if there's something romantic or if it's just plain cryptic platonic. The main story is not about them anyway so there shouldn't be a big deal about these two. A hint or two, or more, will be fine. It'd be enough to warm the fandom.

So while waiting for the next couple of weeks, I'm banking on what Patterson said.

Between Blindspot and The Blacklist, I'm not sure which one I love more. But do I really have to choose one over the other? I'd sayd these two top the list of series that are so dear to me. At least recently. I think Prison Break is still capable of putting up a fight. Actually, it doesn't even have to. It's among my all-time favourite TV series.

So, for The Blacklist... I wonder what's in store for everyone especially the Keens, particularly Liz and this so-called Russian identity. Truth be told, I'm not buying what Alexander Kirk said. No. 

There's just no enough evidence and not enough to support Kirk's claim. And I think it's easier to buy the thought that Jane is Taylor but believing that is just too much of a history manipulated. So technically, it's something unlikely too.

I just read this transcript of interview with The Blacklist director Michael Watkins. Of course he was talking about the show, and more. He said asomething about James Spyder. Interesting. Very interesting. It just reminded me of an IG post by PJ Pascual leading me to a "Scarlett moment," which I'll write about that later.

Now I wonder if I am on the right blog as I write this. Perhaps I'll make a copy on my other blog. Yes, I should do that.

Blindspot pegged

Just 7 weeks to go until Blindspot season 2 premieres and I so cannot wait.

I've been trying these past days to peg some characters from Blindspot though I mix them with those from The Blacklist. My specs are at default as they are inspired by Tom Keen's. I just can't wait to see Jane again and the rest of the NY gang.

Last night I felt like I'm getting close to achieving Jane's hair (see photo). I've been trying to. But I'll try to do better next time. And spare some more time too.

Thinking about Blindspot and The Blacklist even at work usually helps me get through the shift, especially lately as I'm on graveyard.

Keen Dream

I had a dream this morning, when I went back to sleep, about something I could only describe as something as fugitive-like. Reminds me of Elizabeth Keen.

In my dream, I was supposed to be chasing something or someone but I later suspected to have become a target. I think there was also someone I was "competing" with who was like... I could only describe him as someone like Loki. That's what I seemed to be thinking in my dream.

Then there's someone in my dream that I could really describe as a dream guy. He looked like Ben Affleck (uhm, excuse my hair please) but he seemed to be acting and treated like someone I knew before. This someone I 'knew' was a colleague for a couple of months. And he reminded me of Tom Keen. He did something for me that Tom did for Liz. Ugh, my heart! I miss that couple. I miss The Blacklist.

Btw, this guy was invited to Boracay. Why? Anyway, he positioned his left hand in a way that was free to move. He was holding something but later stopped because of wariness. I think he said something like, "Baka malagot pa ako" or "Baka lumaki kamay ko." Weird huh? Well, obviously the guy only looked like Ben Affleck because Ben doesn't speak Tagalog. And this guy spoke the way my colleague would.

There was a "Lost in Translation" scene minus the parting of ways. It was more like an attempt to hide among the crowd. The dream ended that way but left me with a warm feeling when I woke up. I was also confused but one thing or two was made clear to me. I welcome the Tom-like treatment. For another, I am also at risk of allowing something. I learned the latter just earlier when I was already in the office.

Ben or Bat

The season 3 of The Blacklist is causing me to dig deep into something I usually dismiss. I share Liz' thoughts and concern about this evil world. I'm too protective to just let... Besides, I pretty much have a wandering soul. I'm quite a nomad inside.

But watching how Tom deals with Liz, it kind of makes me reconsider things but with a massive IF ONLY. Like what Liz did, I do have a mental list of pro's vs. con's regarding the matter. Besides, like what I told someone before, "I have no one to do it with."

Tom Connelly

The boat. The boat. Why don't you just get into his boat?

This too rings inside my head. The man behind the wheels, his face and his name... both are the only things that strongly prevail in my thoughts.

...

Yet that's not his real name and yet it's the name that prevails. I do know his real name. It's nice, but I prefer the name that stuck, the name he gave to someone.

Yes.

Yes to what?

You.

What do you want?

You.

This conversation also sticks in my head.

Two seasons completed and I can't wait to get started with the next. But I can't. I guess it sorta devoured me. Devoured. Using that word because it's what he used. Three worlds collide. But things will have to wait.

Not for long, hopefully.
