DOOD.

I think to read this LJ is to know that I have a very strong aversion to spoilers of any kind. Since most of my fandoms are very small, or, in fact, closed (GK), I don't have to deal with being spoiled too often. However. Today, I was spoiled for S2 of Southland by Michael Cudlitz, who plays John Cooper.

HOLY SHIT, COOPER'S GOING TO COME OUT TO BEN?!

AND DEWEY ALREADY KNOWS?!

I have to go have a drink on this one.

Jesus fuck can it be September 25th already or what? Why is he taunting the baby hackthis like this? I can just see this scene. Oh my god I want to write it so bad I could plotz. And no, I am totally not taking the angsty route. I'll leave that to the producers. This is going to be comedy gold where he comes out, and Ben just thinks John's fucking with him, trying to make him uncomfortable with hazing. And Ben's like, fine whatever, I admit it, I date guys! I said it, go ahead and give me shit. And John's a little startled, like, right, Short Stuff, whatever. And then Ben's all, if you have a problem with me being bi just say so and John's brain is like "it would be wrong to fuck with him. this could go badly" and then he puts the moves (wow, "moves" showing my age huh?) on him and Ben's like hooray! And John's like, wow, that backfired hardcore. Go team me.



I also saw The Hurt Locker this weekend.

So, first the shallow stuff:

The fact that Katheryn Bigelow, who directed this film, is 57 and looks like a fucking supermodel at 35? Can I do that when I'm 57?

She's got legs that would make Christy Turlington cry.

Now, on to deeper things.

Where could a girl find James/Sanborn/Eldridge fic? No, like, really, I think I'm going to have to ask for that for yuletide, because that? That was some wild shit.

Actually, no, the Sanborn/James thing was some insane stuff. That fight scene in James' quarters, when they were punching each other totally made me think of svilleficrecs when she asked me to write Brad and Nate fighting, but frankly, if Brad and Nate started fighting like Sanborn and James? Uh, that would lead to relationship meltdown, b/c when James SAT on Sanborn and he went apeshit? Whoa. Oh, and the fact that Sanborn decked a superior officer?!

WHAT?!

Insanity.

And the cameos by Guy Pearce and Ralph Finnes? Nice.

Seriously, though, if everybody involved doesn't get nominated for something there is no justice... which there isn't anyway. I would've loved more character time, but you know it was 130 miuntes not a seven part miniseries.

That part where Eldridge got kidnapped, because James wanted to play cowboy did make me think a lot about Encino Man and how people in charge totally just abuse the hell out of their subordinates sometimes. Except I really liked James, but damn was he a dick.

I'm sure I have other thinking thoughts. I'm tired right now though and want to go back to watching my pretentious French films.

Oh, if you're interested in really just killing yourself with war angst, also go see Waltz with Bashir, which is about a Lebanese massacre in the early 1980s. I'd, uh, have some Prozac on hand if you try to make this a double feature.

Just think of all the ammunition you'll have to get me back with. Guilt is an amazing motivator for me. That and telling me I can't do something. Did I mention I have presents I'm sending you tomorrow? Because that might be happening. Wot?

Okay, okay. You know I'm going to end up writing this. Maybe I'll rewatch the series before I do. You know, in my spare time.

Please, if anything I ever did made you feel guilty I'd cry. Okay, not like real tears, you know how I am, but I'd be v v v sad. I now have at least a few ideas, most of them with your name on'em. I don't even know how that happened.

Anything that makes you rewatch Southland is A-OK by me, mostly because holy shit do I love that show so hard. I mean I rilly rilly do, like in that thirteen year-old girl insisting that Jordan Knight in New Kids isn't gay way.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

I mean guilty in a *good* way. There are good ways. Honest. I'm making cookies. I come home and it's as muggy as Washington DC was. What the hell, weather? I blame Al Gore.

Did I ever tell you that when I worked at Musicland it was during the height of the New Kid on the Block phase and I swear, I saw more 13 year olds come in and see NKotB product and have their very first orgasm like they'd never seen a picture of one of them before.

I want to rewatch before the new season starts. Maybe on Thursday - I won't have work or the kids, so I can probably swing some time with the DVD player.

COOKAYS! What kind of cookies. I like cookies. They are the bomb. Except cookies with coconut, I don't like that much.

Reason #532 that I love L: sarcasm.

I think I need to re-watch SL again, since apparently in comments below I am being informed that Dewey once told Ben that John was gay, or he tries to, and then in some other part John tried to tell Ben himself and Ben was slow, because you know, he's pretty and loyal, but sometimes he's not too bright. ILU ANYWAY BEN!

Chocolate chip and, when I stop to get more flour after my PTA meeting, chocolate/butterscotch chip cookies. Mmmmmmm. I do not put coconut in anything I make because it makes me quite ill. Which is not what cookies should do. Nosirreebob.

Me? Sarcastic? Sweet, innocent, adorable me? Pshaw! Oh, wait. Right. Yes. Good call.

Hmm. Darn. We'll have to rewatch. Woe is us. Somehow though, I can't imagine joking about being gay at a retirement party though, because, like most positions that involve guys with guns, homosexuality is not something that gets talked about a lot, at least not in terms of acceptance. Recon is, I'm assured, quite different than anything else. Because obviously they're all hot for each other.

I thought up an opening for my Gen Kill minor characters fic. Sadly, no one requested Sixta fic. I'll have to write about one of the young, hot guys instead. Darn.

chocolate/butterscotch chip cookies

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE. *want*

LOL. You are adorable.

Trufax times two! Also, now I'm having this image of Brad baking cookies (because, thanks to you, that has become my fanon -- that Brad is an awesome cook) and Nate totally trying to eat them when they're still hot and burning his tongue, and drinking from the milk carton with chocolate smeared all over his mouth and Brad walking in and just being like, wow, NO PATIENCE. Civilian life has totally ruined you, and Nate licks his lips and is all, you are right, you obviously don't want to kiss somebody with a burned tongue who tastes like chocolate, and Brad's all "let's not act crazy now."

Also, SIXTA fic. I would love Sixta fic. I love Sixta. If I was listing my top five characters Poke/Nate/Ray and Brad would tie for #1 and then there would be Sixta. I know. Shocking. He's just fucking hilarious.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

The Brad/Nate cookie fic is totally on my list of fics to write. Battling each other with wooden spoons, and laughing in the face of salmonella as they eat cookie dough and Nate reaching for a just out of the oven cookie and Brad smacking his hand.

I have Sixta fic started. One day I will finish that when I stop having ideas for Nate and Brad to be naked.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

SIXTA!

Currently my list which I am not supposed to have ANYWAY looks like this

1. L birthday fic TBD (10 pages)
2. Small Characters Fic (5 pages, mebbe, I dunno, this is looking difficult, I wanna write Waaaaaaaaalt. Or Poke.
3. Southland story. Of some stripe.
4. Assassin!fic epic OR Reporter!Nate fic.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

You know I am totally NOT expecting birthday fic, you silly thing. Mind you, I'll be all flappy hands and shit, but it's not necessary for you to do that for me.

I swear, my to-write list keeps getting longer instead of shorter every time I write something. Currently on the slate:

Stubble!porn
Minor character fic
Shosh birthday fic
Nate/Brad hotel fic
Nate/Brad w/ Nate's ex-boyfriend fic

Those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's like 89 million more that I've offered, promised or told myself I needed to write.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am very much wanting to write you Birthday!fic and I shall! Yis. And you will like it and smile and a lot. *stomps foot*

STUBBLE!PORN

You just tease me over and over and over again. If your name was Ben Sherman this might be okay.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

I'm going to work on it today! I swear it will be done! I just need to figure out where my brain is and then I can get it all taken care of. I'm *sure* of it.

::hides::

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You know I only harass because we wants the precious I care!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

I feel bad that I've been taunting you with it for so long. Normally I'm much better at cranking this kind of thing out. I've changed my plans for today so that they include just staying at home. I figure I can get to all the other stuff in a little bit, I need some home time. So I imagine there will be porn today. That's what usually happens.

At least I've provided *other* porn in the interim, right? That helps? Or does that make it worse? Um, lie to me and tell me it makes it better, okay?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I think u iz awesome and I would like to write you prons. If I could scrabble something together. And I think it's definitely a good idea for you to stay at home and just chill for a bit. You've been very busy. Stillness is a-okay.
