Tonight I continued catching up on S5 of The Shield. Eps 4-8. I kept thinking I'd stop so I'd have something to watch tomorrow, but it was unpossible.

And, well, I was accidentally spoiled for The Thing That Happens a while back (actually, before I saw S4), but I'm pretending I'm not spoiled, which is getting more and more difficult as they set more and more of it up. Damn it.

Anyway. Holy crap, Forrest Whitaker. After the first episode I wanted to see him and Vincent D'Onofrio's CI character try to out-weird each other. And hey, Gina Torres! And all the crazy awesomeness. Now I'm all high on good TV.

This weekend I need to deal with some TWoP biz, and maybe, just maybe, catch up on my email. It's supposed to be lousy hot, so that might motivate me to stay home and get some chores done around the house. The bathroom is overdue for a cleaning. Ooh, and I should henna my hair. In fact, I should do that before I clean the bathroom.

And my supervisor asked me what my perfect job (at our company) would be, so I need to come up with an answer to that so that she can do whatever she's plotting.

This has been Strega's brain-dump.

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

he was dating Ellen Muth a while back, so no, not really.

Well, JRM claimed to have had a girlfriend, so weird shit happens.

I may have to see him in the eyeliner to judge properly.

He was rocking that and the sleeveless shirts with a great deal of aplomb.

Mostly I just find him disturbing looking. Burn Notice could do with eye candy.

Watched Miller's Crossing yesterday. I remember really liking it, but now I'm not sure why. It was really well done, but...eh. I came out of it feeling there'd been little point. No character arcs, no interesting reveals, nothing. Just some people that did some stuff. I wonder if there's more stuff from my Montreal years that'll disappoint me now.

Probably.

And...I just let myself get irritated so some of the headache I'd drugged away has come back.

::sigh::

At least this from 1990 lives up to my memories. And then some.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Now I'm all high on good TV.

I am familiar with this feeling (most recently, Life on Mars). I love this feeling. Not an easy high to come by, but well worth it.

Baby belly laughs! So funny. Also, who needs toys when you can raid the recycling bin?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, I'm watching Eureka right now and looking at those pics while he's on my tv is just so weird.

It...it...why? I mean, what's the why of the story? Who do I care about? What's interesting.

The one thing I was clinging onto was that he'd make it through without committing an act of violence. Somehow only committing one wasn't rewarding me any.

Everyone did a fine job. I just have no urge to see them do it again.

I'm watching Eureka right now and looking at those pics while he's on my tv is just so weird.

With friends like me, who needs tabloid reporters?

(I totally had permission)

(I just never dreamt then that I'd be sharing them now, or why)

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

He pinged me, ita, and I had only seen about about ten minutes of an episode and the commercials. I don't think I didn't like Burn Notice, I just never remember it's on.
