Happiness: "Beaten into submission and bottled for convenience"

Seattle for the weekend! Birthday things and seeing people. It'll be great.

Last night our internet just stopped working. Turned out power had been lost...somewhere. But before that happened, I wandered over to sgastoryfinders because I was mildly bored. And sometimes there's some good stuff. But sometimes...Sometimes I stare and go, "OMG, fandom. Really?" and then hide. Not to be, y'know, disrespectful or anything, but there is some crazy stuff out there.

I don't know why I haven't mentioned this here before, but I have a TV rec. Pushing Daisies on ABC. Lee Pace (who I loved in Wonderfalls) plays Ned, a pie-maker, who can bring the dead back to life with one touch. However, if he touches them again, they die for good. If he lets them live for more than a minute after he's touched them, someone else has to die instead. The concept may put some people off and I've read reviews by people who thought it was too weird for weekly television. Which makes me wonder about myself as well as them because I didn't bat an eye at the idea. I just thought it sounded neat.

Anyway, I am...ridiculously in love with it. It's beautiful and quirky and imaginative and I want to curl up with it and a fluffy blanket and a cup of tea and never move.
