Are we there yet? Why the fuck not?

1. NCIS people, new rule. If it's written by spoonyriffic? READ IT. What she's doing is what I *thought* Gibbs/DiNozzo was supposed to be, snarky and fun and hot. What the hell is up with all the angst and woe and leather chains and fic where Tony's balls are mysteriously missing? Are y'all watching the same show I am?

2. The Hurt Locker. War movie with Jeremy Renner (Walsh from the Unusuals, bitches!) and Guy Pearce! Or as one commenter put it It's basically "Generation Kill", just with different characters and not enough time to develop all the characters. I needs to be seeing this I think.

3. Is anybody else having one of those days too? You know the kind where you wouldn't piss on somebody even if they were on fire? EXACTLY.

4. I like Green Day. I dunno if I've ever mentioned this to you lot, but I do. I have them on my iPod under 'Baby Clash' - yes I have a genre called Baby Clash, because everybody wants to be The Clash, but nobody really is. I was thinking about my Green Day like the other day because Stephen had them on The Report and they were doing 'Know Your Enemy' and it wasn't half bad. I wouldn't pay to see them, but I do not object. And believe me I object to a lot.

Wait, I have to finish this with something happy. Oooh, better yet, sparky77 had this thing where she asked people to mention a fandom and she'd give three unpopular opinions about it. I'll take the one and tweak it a little. Give me a character or a fandom you've seen me write and I'll give you at least three facts about him/her/it.

What is up with the hilarity about me discovering NCIS? Esplain.

It's a CBS procedural! It's a CBS procedural that they're spinning off! That kind of procedural is pretty much the last thing I'd expect you to watch...though I get why you do. Kind of. Some days.

Then there's the fact that I remember what a douche Michael Weatherly was during the filming of Dark Angel. This is one of those me things.

But! After watching Mark Harmon play Gibbs it's just bizarre to watch him play Special Agent Simon Donovan in TWW. (My sekrit service research, let me show you it. And yes, that's right! I figured out a way to do sekrit service research and watch Mark Harmon AT THE SAME TIME! ::is victorious::)

On another topic entirely, I pulled out "One Bullet Away" today because I got curious if Nate ID'ed the three guys in the platoon when he first got there (he didn't, as usual). And then it occurred to me that the title can also apply to the VP - you're one bullet away from the Presidency.

So this entire comment is yet more proof that I have no points, just musings.

What? Nothing can be terrible if it involves LL COOL J!!!

I have seen Deep Blue Sea. But it has Sam Jackson too.

LL made that better by NOT dying, see?

And add me to the people that find it shocking that you like NCIS. I have a new love/hate relationship with it myself, though, so I totally understand.

HAHAHAHA

Needless to say I shall be watching even though I am a little miffed that they aren't planning to use Lousie Lombard.

I HAVE NO SHAME AT ALL, Z!

Ah. This is very true. And I am notoriously snobby about my TV. I know this. I get told this as regular intervals. I think it was just a matter of the right (wrong depending) thing at the right time. I had a guest. They watched it... I... it was new to me. And there were a lot of drugs involved. As for Michael Weatherly, he's an asshole on the show, I don't like him, and yet... I can see why there's so much disbelief.

It probably also comes down to the end of the network season (not that I watch more than 2 hours), and cable hasn't really launched for me yet -- it fills a hole. Of course this is how you end up dating the wrong guy too.
