Jun. 22nd, 2010 10:34 pmMy mom and I have been watching season one of The OC. In fact, we just finished the first season tonight. I'd seen, like...two episodes when it first started? Wasn't exactly my genre back in the day. Plus, I started working until 11 PM around then so, y'know, that'll put a damper on TV viewing.
It kind of amuses the hell out of me that Oliver - who is manipulative and a liar and has so very many problems - is now douche canoe Wade from Southland. When I finally put that together, it was all, "It's okay, Ryan, you'll get to arrest him in a few years."
Except now Wade's dating one of Sherman's sisters, which I guess is better than trying to steal a girlfriend.

"....Kinda."
JOHN COOPER. I LOVE YOU. A LOT.

Also! Sherman's little grin when he makes Cooper laugh with the "summer camp" line? Hee!
Mom and I actually watched this one last week. Tonight we watched "Westside." Yea, DVDs.

- Follow-up to Before the Night Is Through sent to
ginnith last night. I'm on a dirty, porny roll!
- Editor dropped off the Nikon D40. I get to carry a fancy-shmancy camera around with me! For free! HA. (Unless you count the various tolls anxiety takes on me when forced outside of my comfort zone in order to interview people.)
- The first issue of the new publication came out today. My feature is the first story in it! And they used my title! And it's all "Mary ___, contributing writer"! I feel ridiculous for being excited about it since I've been writing for the newspaper since November 2008, but there is something about opening this one up and seeing it there. Maybe it's because it's thicker than our inky-dinky paper? The publication is a combination of three local papers now, and is more tabloid-style.
- Subbing half a day of middle school PE tomorrow. I'd say I'm a crazy person, but honestly? I'd rather sub those classes than have to deal with a whole day of fifth grade where there are detailed lesson plans. (And half of the material's never where the teacher's note says it is...)
- There was a guy in the library today who smelled of diesel/gasoline. My nose is still tingly with it.
- I have Southland on DVD! Only seven episodes, sure, but now I can watch/re-watch and pause and whathaveyou whenever I want.

Jan. 12th, 2010 10:00 pm01. 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. ( NCIS )
05.
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.
