Randomly...

I'm worried about myself - I'm watching S2 of Oz, and even though his character is so obviously vile and without conscience, I cannot help but just be "guh" over Christopher Meloni. Good lord that man is hot. But his character is so skeevy. I'm so conflicted. Except not, because there's just no denying the hot when there's... so much of it.

Hey, I said it was random.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure you're not alone, Jen. I've never watched the show, but I have heard your reaction before.

Bad boys are so much simpler when they're imaginary streams or pulses of electrons.

eta: Anyone know how S2 of Thief would have gone? It is cancelled, right? I'm fascinated by this season's bad boys--Prison Break, Heist, Thief, and there are always the dubious things Kiefer does.

That makes me feel better. I kind of figured I wouldn't be the only one to have had that reaction. Still feel a little dirty, though.

Yeah. Wouldn't want to run into an actual person like the character. Though, wouldn't mind running into the actual actor.

ETA: Haven't watched Thief.

Oh, he's smoking hot in Oz.

Always Anti-fascist!

And he is much more attractive as Stabler in Scary!Vigilante type mode. Him talking about the job or his kids does nothing...he goes a litle too far in the Box...and guh. Very distressing for an ACLU member, I'll tell ya.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, he's smoking hot in Oz.

Plus you get to see his cock.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett's team won their game today- their third win in a row. Emmett finally got in a groove with pitching, and went two innings, only giving up one run. It was a close game against the team we had a heartbreaking loss against a couple weeks ago (we were winning up until the last inning and only needed three outs and they scored 17 runs). Also, it's weird because this team has five players from my team last year.

What's odd is that I know each of them so well, and to them, already receding in their memory. But I watched each of them deal with stress and pain and I know what their fears are and how they deal with them and how they gained skills and built confidence. But ultimately they don't really know that much about me, except that I'm Emmett's dad and that I coached them. They might have learned a couple things from me but they didn't see me in stress situations the same way I watched them closely through practices and games last year.

I guess teachers get this to some degree.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I believe my reaction to Chris Keller is well documented here. It falls firmly into the "guh" category.

Why am I up this late AGAIN? I swear.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Aw, Jesse. You should call me and get me through the next 1000 words. Or, you know, go to bed. Which is probably a better option.

I am going to go to bed, but you do have my sympathy. I was supposed to write 1000 words today myself, and couldn't do it. Good luck!
