1. Burn Notice returns July 10th. Just 72 more days. Yes, I am that desperate for something I enjoy. Not that I don't enjoy Gossip Girl. And not that I'm not totally thinking about writing Nate and Vanessa, because dude, they are adorable and total cliche, but again, so CUTE. Also, how does Chuck manage to look good in the crap they put him in. He was wearing a green striped shirt over a checked shirt over a PINK tee shirt, and he still looked hot. Damn.

2. There is apparently this show called Being Human that I need to see, because it has Rudge from The History Boys. Oh, wise flist... how do I make this happen? ETA: After many, MANY false starts I have achieved Being Human. I've watched five minutes and am already besotted like a matron who refuses to accept that John Barrowman is gay.

3. SK has decided that I need to see some German soap with slash. I know not the name, but I know the intended targets are Christian and Oliver. I like Oliver. It's a good name. Oliver Wood. Oliver Twist. Yes.

4. I would marry Mike Rowe.

5. Being sick is bullshit. Being sick and my Greek DVDs not arriving is past bullshit and straight into cruelty.

ETA: ADRIAN LESTER IS IN BEING HUMAN? OMG, people, PLEASE HELP. Look! I give you the most adorable baby bear as bribery.

1. OMG, yes.

3. Verboten Liebe or "Forbidden Love". And the fact that I know this is a testament to the sheer glee it's induced in my friendslist, because I've yet to watch a minute of it!

5. I hope you feel better. And that the mail delivers soon.

3. Sheer glee is about right. It's utterly cheesetastic, which is just what fandom apparently needs right now!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

3. Oh, dude, you HAVE to watch it. Here, have boykissing to tempt you:

3. SK went into a whole diatribe, which I just asked if she recommended it, so I figure that says it all.

5. Me too. *pines* *coughs* *pines more*

[random-flores.livejournal.com]

I would marry Mike Rowe.

Get in line, honey.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are fabulous, but I will cut you. Mike and I go back like babies and pacifiers. Last night he was delivering calves at a farm. I NEEDS HIM.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

yesterday when I got home from the hospital I had this sudden urge to watch Gossip Girl, which I am blaming on the anaesthesia because it was completely random, and I have never once had that urge.

Weird, huh?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You want to watch it. If only for the clothes alone. They will make you weep with the awesome.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

2. Oh, most definitely. Barring torrents, I could try uploading the pilot tomorrow for you. :)

3. Christian and Olli! I can't recommend that storyline enough. It's lovely. ichglotzutube on Youtube has their entire storyline posted with English subtitles.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

2. I am (selfishly) hoping to get my hands on it today. Patience? Me? HAH! I will let you know how it works out. Thank you for offering.

3. So I keep hearing!

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

DUDE. Have you heard the latest casting business for Burn Notice?

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

*chokes on a croissant*

(we just had this whole conversation about that not five minutes ago.)

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Look! I give you the most adorable baby bear as bribery.

dude, I used to sit next to a guy like that in physics senior year.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I took physics once. It's just the disaster you think it was. When I actually went. Sat and I had attendance issues.

RE:3

I've only been sucked into the whole crazy gay soap pairing of American daytime, Luke/Noah. They are full of cute and their story arc starts fabulously but I must admit the soap overall has such cheesy crazy shit happening, I dunno if you'd be interested.

Then again, the German soap is by no means free of cheesefest either. I mean, hell, it's soaps.

I've watched some Olli/Christian clips since a flist person is uuuuuber into them. She even wrote a youtube guide: http://community.livejournal.com/seifen_slash/6150.html

I must admit I'm mostly just lazy - I understand German a little bit but not enough to watch clips unsubbed and thus the English soap madness is just easier to get into. But Olli/Christian do kiss more and are a more realistic gay couple than Luke/Noah, I have to admit.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I've vaguely watched some of Luke/Noah, but the way the PTB are dragging them along totally pissed me off, and so, we go to German soaps.

[lazulus]

And - bizarrely - Adrian Lester was also in Ballet Shoes. *boggles*

Mind you, I did actually enjoy Ballet Shoes!

2. *Looks around sneakily* If torrents work for you then - http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4035022/Being.Human.S01E00.WS.PDTV.XviD-AFFiNiTY
*sidles out the room*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I've never used one before, how does it work? I tried to download, but it keeps coming up as a document.

[cassielx.livejournal.com]

you need to go here, http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/azureus/Azureus_3.0.5.2_windows.exe
download and install, then try clicking on the .torrent file again and you should soon have the pilot in your sweaty, little er computer.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

you are AWESOMe.

[romancandles.livejournal.com]

GERMAN SOAPS. They are all the rage. I completely wasted a day last week watching all the clips and, no joke, a vid set to "Every Time We Touch (I Get This Feeling)." You may regret it at the end, but it's so worth it. And they are adorrrrable.

What is this Being Human business? I must be informed.

Um, you fail to mention the purple cardigan Chuck was sporting last night. Or were you blinded by the sheer brilliance of that outfit? Also, I am completely with you on the Nate/Vanessa cuteness train.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dude, even that purple outfit was hotness. I defies belief. Nobody should look good in those clothes, but he does. It's because he's English. I know it is.

Also, Being Human (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_Human_%28TV_series%29).

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

I was at a fan gathering this past weekend and people were talking about the German soap. Apparently YouTube and I will be spending some quality time together.

Also, I will fight you for Mike Rowe. Shall it be pistols at dawn?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dos pistolas, baby!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Sure thing!

[soobunny.livejournal.com]

I don't understand how Chuck pulls off the clothes they put him in either. It's scary.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It shouldn't work. It doesn't. It's just him.

[tmelange.livejournal.com]

You can download Being Human here:

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have never had so many problems procuring something as I've had trying to actually get my hands on this. Torrenting issues, downloading issues... now I have the powah!

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

Clearly we need to arrange some sort of ultimate cage deathmatch with Mike Rowe, sweaty & shirtless, going to the winner.

AND I WILL CRUSH YOU ALL.
*ahem* All better now.

Re: 4

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are looking at this all wrong. Clearly I will win. But I will share him on weekends and holidays. Mebbe.

[epj.livejournal.com]

1. HOORAY! And the DVDs come out June 17th! Just 48 days (if my math is right, and that's no sure thing)!! Commentary on every single episode!

5. I completely agree. I hope you're feeling better soon.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

[flyingtapes.livejournal.com]

I cannot *wait* for BN to come back on the air. I want it so bad, seriously. I did a rewatch earlier this year, and was blown away all over again by how awesome it is.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

USA has been so freaking stingy with the reruns, it's mind-boggling. Do they not want to give it exposure or something?

[blueandomlettes.livejournal.com]

ok so i checked and it doesn't have Being Human, however surfthechannel.com might just be the best new thing I've come across in ages. It has all of Greek and Skins and almost every other show i could think of, also it has movies. the best part is that it's all completely free. So I hope you enjoy :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. *makes note to self*

Are you enjoying Greek?

[askmehow.livejournal.com]

1. I can't believe that you're falling for yet another het couple in Gossip Girl! I thought that the Nate and Vanessa storyline was a little too rushed, but they're so cute together that I don't care. Finally, somehting for the actors to do that doesn't involve being on the sidelines of Blair and Dan's storylines!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I agree that the storyline totally came from left field, someone else pointed out that if they'd had more episodes it probably would've flowed better, but they were just so damn cute. And they both had personalities for a change! Even though you totally can't just walk into the SAT Nate, but still!

[parthenia14.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for the links to Being Human which i have been seeking for aaaaaaaaaaaaages. I am watching it now. I forgot I had a thing for tall beardy emo types...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's exquisite, isn't it? slodwick and I are already babbling about our 'ideas.'

[boji.livejournal.com]

At least you discovered Being Human now that it's FINALLY been greenlit. Some of us watched it back in the depths of winter and then had to wait and beg and pray to the gods of BBC3. It's confirmed for 2009 (spring I think) BUT there's no news yet to confirm that the actors will be the same as in the pilot.

*crossed all apendages*

*does not want* Everybody else can go, but George and Herrick have to stay. Really. I will cut someone.
