Last night I traded my soul's innermost for pickled fish.

[hackthis_archive]

1) Chuck was adorable last night. He is really growing me. He's Seth v 2.0 - but much more tolerable.

2) Okay, someone I trust implicitly tells me that Gossip Girl is the best thing since sliced bread, and while I am dubious, I understand that Spiers from Band of Brothers is on there in some capacity and I may at least have to view an episode. When's this crack on then?

3) Prior to last night's Heroes I got a text from serialkarma that said, "Nathan is fucking hot tonight" to which I replied, "That's like saying water is wet."

When is Nathan not hot? Tell me that. Remember that I loved The Beard.

Having said that, I think we all know my general reaction to 2.05 was


Dear Adrian Pasdar:

How are you so hot? All the other boys cry in the face of your hotassery. Last night you stepped up a game that was already at the ceiling. You are now in the atmosphere with your stubble and floppy messy hair and hotassery and that thing with that gun and being good? I love you. My love for you is too profound for netspeak. Just saying.

xxxx,
hackthis

p.s. I know you are not a cargo plane, but I don't weigh a lot, I swear!

p.p.s. Where are the Nathan + gun = OTP icons. C'mon, I have needs.



Dear Matt and Mohinder:

Your adoption is revoked.

Having a child is about selflessness; it's right below 'selfish' in the dictionary. Look it up.

No love,
me



Dear Peter:

A word of advice, you are an amnesiac, not asexual. Losing your memories doesn't mean you lose your sexual preference -- science will back me up here. If you carry around a picture of you and your husband lover brother in tuxedos and you feign indifference because you realize you're batting for the wrong team, pull the other one, it's got bells on it.

As for lurving Caitlin after five days -- me thinks the Petrelli doth protest too much.

No love,
me

ETA: WAIT A MINUTE. Peter's a GIRL? Wow, that explains a lot.



Dear Paddy Oirish Wot Got Flambed:

Thanks for that, Tim. My ears can stop bleeding now.

Amen,
me


Dear Veronica Mars:

I never watched your show, but you don't seem that horrible. I presume you are Bob's daughter, but I am so over the whole petulant thing. For reals. Get a personality, stat.

-me


Dear Monica,

I want to love you. I want to at least admire you. As it stands I don't dislike you, I just don't think I like where your storyline is headed -- I blame the writers for this. I am also wondering how Micah has a new 9th Wonders since Isaac was turned into a serving platter last season.

-me


Dear Heroes,

I don't love you the way I did last season. You are very slow and floundering. You need to trim the fat, kill the Boring Twins, 86 the Oirish crap, get My 2 Dads some parenting lessons and make Cristine Rose a regular. Stat. Having said that though, plz to keep the Nathan & Matt stuff because they are really your only saving grace at this point.

-me

p.s. I am loving Mr. Bennett and Sam the Haitian on their second honeymoon. Plz to show more of that.




Dear Flist:

I am looking for the following songs. Plz to help.


- Garbage 'The World is Not Enough'
- Hall & Oates 'Family Man' & 'Out of Touch'
- Herbert (anything besides 'Something isn't Right')
- Jason Mraz 'The Remedy'
- Kenna 'Make Sure they See My Face' (the LP)
- Ours 'Sometimes'
- Ours 'Leaves'
- R.E.M. 'Losing My Religion'
- R.E.M. 'Daysleeper'
- The Vines 'Get Free'

Tell me more! Tell me more!

It's all about rich teenagers on the Upper East Side in New York, and hilariously over the top. The sleepover last week involved more prep than a royal wedding.

Slashiness: on the boy side, there's petulant Nate, whose dad wants him to go to a specific Ivy League college, probably because dear old dad has been draining trust funds for reasons undetermined. Desperately in love with Nate --> Chuck, the rake, who was described (accurately) as having gone to the "James Spader Academy for Evil Preppies."

On the girl side, there's Blair (think Summer Roberts if she were more heartless and entirely devoted to the social heirarchy) and maybe-sorta BFF Serena. Serena slept with Blair's boyfriend (Nate, who wants to break up with her but is told not to by dear old dad), disappeared to boarding school for a year, and has only now returned. They have fabulous issues and appear to care about each other far more than any boy.

I'm not sure which one was in Band of Brothers (I have a hard time telling them apart, probably because of the buzz cuts, helmets, and dirty faces), but suspect it was the guy playing once-rocker, now art gallery owner Rufus, who is father of teen outsider Dan, who is angling to become Serena's boyfriend.

I wouldn't suggest it's high art or anything, but I'm really enjoying the show - there's enough genuine emotion and connection mixed in with the ostentatious hijinx to keep it from being all laughable.

Between the fervent recommendations and this interview where basically the entire male casts seems to think it's bi or gay (http://www.popnography.com/2007/10/lets-give-em-so.html) or wouldn't mind trying it out, I see I shall have to watch it.
