Hey, I found the original "Nights in White Satin" scene from Wiseguy.

Infamously, the producers wouldn't pony up for the DVD rights to the song and then put in some crapass song on the box set.

But in its original incarnation it was incredibly slashy, and the arc style of Wiseguy was a big influence on Joss.

Anyway, here's how Wiseguy originally aired it.

(Premise: Ken Wahl played an undercover agent who got in too deep with the people he was there to take down. This was the end of the Sonny Steelgrave arc featuring Ray Sharkey. The song itself comes at the end of the scene, with the Moody Blues ardent "..and I love you!" parts coming as the two protagonists gaze into each others' beaten faces. Kevin Spacey famously made his bones playing in the next arc as Mel Profitt.)

Mine have been doing funky stuff since the last cold. Volume increases and such. And weirdness. I'm double dosing my usual post swim vinegar-alcohol rinses and paying attention. At least the Target minute clinics do ear infections, cause I'm still doctorless and my last ear dr person contact is gone and the dr retired (yes, I know. On the list for this year.)

Trust me, fandom never lost it.

Wiseguy is sort of randomly released on DVD, but the Sonny Steelgrave and Mel Profitt arcs are available, and well worth watching.

Today was a food fail day:
• slept through breakfast • 1st lunch choice (sushi) had a long line of people waiting to get in
• 2nd lunch choice (Italian) didn't even have any parking spaces in the lot
• 3rd lunch choice (Church's) no longer had crawfish specials, so I settled for take-out gumbo and fries that felt like a lead weight in my gullet all day
• was too full to eat out tonight, so around 8 I made myself eat bland leftover vegetables and pasta

Very First World problem, I know, since I neither went hungry nor got sick rather than merely uncomfortable from what I ate. But the average day has more pleasant dining than that even if it's just brown bagged sandwiches.

Damn, the Colts lost too? Crazy football day.

The fixture I found that I am gonna make a swag is:

with these shades instead of the white: [link]

Trust me, fandom never lost it.

No doubt! But am I wrong in thinking it's way more overtly, consciously slashy than was common at that time?

msbelle, that'll be gorgeous. So much so that I'm considering stealing it for my staircase landing. The standard rental-house light fixture that's there now needs to go.

Lest I forget: I believe my niece has some size 8 Doc Maarten boots she intends to sell. Anyone interested? (not sure what they look like, but they're definitely black.)

Anyone heard from Erika today?

Plei, she commented on my fb a couple of times this afternoon.
