What's on tap for today.

From delux_vivens:

Let's make it really clear, people. If you identify as a POC/nonwhite person and you read or watch scifi or fantasy, give yourself a name check in this thread. I am particularly wanting shoutouts from people who do not live in the US and who have still managed to read genre fiction.

I'm tired of people trying to render us invisible unless they have been given a memo about our existences.

It should go without saying that this particular activity is not for white people, but I know sometimes people need things spelled out. Like assuming that obviously POCs don't read or engage with SF/Fantasy just because we're not written INTO said stories. Let me stop now before I give myself a headache.

Other items:

1) Dear NBC:

If you put Southland on Friday, I will cut a bitch. Don't think I won't.

No love,
X

2) Southland people,

Michael says he was driving a Dodge Challenger in last week's episode. Uh. When was this and where was I? Because anybody who's been around these parts knows that I have a natural fetish affinity for three things: music, cars, and sarcastic, intelligent, slightly broken men, so if two of these three things were in the same place, namely *that* man driving *this car*, I WOULD HAVE NOTICED. And already written about it.

3) Also, does anybody have the following albums: Seal 'Soul'; The Sam & Ruby EP, The Knux 'Remind Me in 3 Days'; The New York Fund 'Guns EP' I reckon most of these artists are too indie (except for Seal) for anybody to have what I'm looking for, but you guys are always surprising me so...

At the end of the ep when Cooper was driving home and stopped his car because there was a tree or something blocking the road. Dodge Challenger. I thought it was adorable that even though he was off duty he was still ready to be on duty. *hearts*

I DID NOT SEE THIS? WHEN WAS THIS AND WHERE WAS I?

[lazulus]

Right at the end of the ep!!! Cooper gets out of his car in a black t-shirt and puts on his police jacket and lights a flare to mark the fallen tree [?] and then tells a woman that a UFO crash landed when she asks a stupid question!

I WAS PAYING ATTENTION.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I missed the start of that scene! Fuck! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[lazulus]

I just checked and it's at 38 mins 40 secs in on the file I am watching.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I must see this ASAP. My hormones require it.

[lazulus]

Sadly, that may be when you get home. Can your hormones deal with the wait?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

No. I have plans after work as well. A pox! Actually, let me not say that with all the illnesses flying around these days.

[lazulus]

Oh, noes! And no jinxing yourself by mentioning any sort of pox. *taps wood*

I am actually shocked you haven't found a way to have the episodes on your iPod. For research purposes, of course.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I think I assumed that he was still on duty! Although that does explain why Ben wasn't in that scene, duh. I will have to go home and look at the ep again. What a hardship.

[lazulus]

Poor you. Well, if you can bear to suffer through it again...

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

I will soldier through...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I too shall have to persevere. Woe, the research I do. Y'all don't even know. Actually, we've discussed this before, I really do a lot of research don't I? I am so dedicated! I need more Southland icons.

[lazulus]

You are indeed very dedicated and Cooper really does appreciate the amount of time and effort you are putting into getting him laid. And cake. He is very pleased about the cake.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Cake, baby. That's just the beginning. Fuck, I wish Ben would court my ass.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes! Exactly! I came in right when he was putting the flares down and I just thought they were having a long day and that woman was just, you know, being a civie. OH MY GOD, THAT CAR?! It's like this series was written for my fetishes: slightly broken, very capable men and hot cars (Ben has the Audi and the motorcycle and Cooper has TEH CAR OF SEXXOR!).

*fans self*

ILU Southland

[lazulus]

I stopped playback and started again at that scene because I was thrown by the wrong car, the black t-shirt and the lack of Ben. He's also wearing dark jeans and biker boots. Not that I noticed or anything. *shifty*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Details. Bring me your details! Because he could very well be going *to* Ben's. Ben lives across town, or possibly up in the Hills. Ben could be making dinner. I know you're thinking about that cake. And they have dinner ... oh my god, in the backyard. Underneath the trees and stars and it's insanely romantic without them trying, b/c really it's just for the view from the Hills and b/c Ben likes to be outside after being in the car all day.

Oh my god, is it Thursday yet? I need to see the inside of Ben's house.

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

Yup, Cooper is totally wearing his cruising outfit -- same black (close-fitting, delicious) t-shirt he was wearing in the gay bar the first ep. The black jeans and the boots are just icing on the cake.

And yes, the car. The CAR! I might've started writing something about sex on the hood of said car. But since all my writing lately seems to come to a screeching halt after two paragraphs...

I am so ready for it to be Thursday.

[lazulus]

It's also a classic black Challenger. Hot or wot?
