Enumerated

01. At the library, I helped a couple find sample questions for the test for US citizenship. Felt awesome after.

02. Agreed to sub three days of middle school PE in a row. OMG AM I A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT??

Although the times I've done single days have been fine.

03. Southland premiered on TNT. REALLY enjoyed it. The permiere was commercial free and I was surprised that my attention never wandered. Pleasantly surprised. Very much looking forward to seeing more. I'm hoping I won't miss too many because of meetings (at least two a month, stupid city council). But I suppose that's what the internet is for after all.

On a shallow note, I appear to have a thing for Ben McKenzie's profile. ::shrug:: I think I always did. Something about his nose. (I never really watched The OC, but I enjoyed Junebug.) And, of course, Michael Cudlitz is just...hot in a very solid way. Mmmmmmmmmm. I like his profile, too.

And, omg, they're good. That scene outside the house? "You're a cop because you don't know how not to be one." Whoa.

God. I am REALLY EXCITED for this now. I mean, I was sure I would enjoy it, but I'm close to making grabby hands and pleading, "More now? Pleeeeease?"

04. "Flesh and Blood." Oh, Tony. I don't actually have a lot to say. Or anything, really. My own family was/is having some drama, so my mind wasn't completely on the episode. But I loved it! McGee's glee at telling Tony he had a visitor! Tony Jr. and Tony Sr.! Senior flirting with everything female on two legs! The conning! Gibbs and Tony! McGee and Abby!

What got the most notable reaction from me, though, was the way McGee told Tony, "You have a visitor." His voice was low and amused and, oh, Tim. Do not use that voice at work, mmmkay?

05. [livejournal.com profile] ginnith did a fantastic thing and reminded me that with no Big Bang, I can have fun with the Porn Battle and not feel guilty. So I can go back to what I do the best the most: writing short, dirty fic.

06. PORN BATTLE. Coming up! I swear, porn battle time is my favorite time. I only wrote two for the last one, three for the one before. My first attempt (porn-wise and battle-wise), Any Other Name, is still one of my personal favorite of the things I have written.

I almost had a fit when I heard that NBC cancelled Southland in favor of JAY LENO (don't even get me started.) And am SO excited that it is on TNT or TBS or whatever - I think they are replaying the episodes I saw last year but yes. That first episode after the drug bust situation at that house is GREAT. And it only gets better. And both boys are HOT :)

Southland was something I wanted to check out last year, but I never got a chance to. Schedule was conflicting. But, yes, TNT is now airing everything beginning with season one. They're also going to air the new episodes...I think there are six of them?

Anyway, I'm greatly looking forward to more.

I am so happy that you liked Southland! And isn't the acting just phenomenal? *happy clapping*

The acting is incredible!

I'll admit that as much as I wanted to see it when it first premiered, I was a little worried it would end up being too...gritty for me. But this wasn't at all. Upsetting, sure, but the pilot never tipped into too much or unnecessary violence for the story they were serving.

In other words, yes, obviously I really enjoyed it. I want more now, darn it.
