What's on tap for today.

From [livejournal.com profile] 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...

A Dodge Challenger? For real? Is he saying the squad car was a Challenger? Because what other car did he drive in that ep?

music, cars, and sarcastic, intelligent, slightly broken men

yes please!

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?

See [livejournal.com profile] lazlet's comment below. I'm thinking they edited something out, because I do NOT remember this. I would remember that. You *know* I'm remember that, because there would probably have to be sex on the hood -- you know how I feel about sex in cars.

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.

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

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I missed the start of that scene! Fuck! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[identity profile] serialkarma.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
you know how I feel about sex in cars.

Hmmm. Maybe you can remind me by writing a scene with Cooper and Ben and a car sometime soon...

[identity profile] serialkarma.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

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

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
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*

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*

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

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

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.

Talk to me after The Epic. So far every short story I've wanted to write this week I've decided to roll into that instead. It's looking to be, well, FUCKING AWESOME.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I must see this ASAP. My hormones require it.

[identity profile] serialkarma.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, I was thinking more like a scene in The Epic. So, you know, BRAIN.

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.

You'd be surprised all the shit that's apparently going to happen in The Epic. That might be in there anyway to be honest. I just had no idea about the car itself. H, an old skool Dodge Challenger?! HORMONES. Between that and Ben's bike it's like a dick measuring contest... that they both shall win.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Cake, baby. That's just the beginning. Fuck, I wish Ben would court my ass.

[personal profile] lazulus 2009-05-13 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Sadly, that may be when you get home. Can your hormones deal with the wait?

[identity profile] serialkarma.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Baby, I am RIGHT THERE with you on the old school Dodge. That's right up there with the 67 GTO for me. Well, and pretty much any American car from the 60's, let's be honest.

Between that and Ben's bike it's like a dick measuring contest... that they both shall win.

Yis, this is totally a win-win scenario for everyone involved (meaning: US, obvs).

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