My 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.

"Are you fucking with me?"

"....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.

The only bad thing about Southland is that it reaches the end of the hour and all I want is more.

It's like I just got to a really meaty part of a book and then someone took it away from me.

I'm not sure how this is different from the other shows I love, but it feels different.

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. ( 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.
