mmmmm shiny
As much as I love Nate and his alcoholism, I've missed His Sparkleness too much, so new header! *_________* It ended up being much bigger than I'd wanted, but... whatev. It's Simon Baker. Nom nom nom.
Shocking, I realize, that I haven't made a post about the new episode of The Mentalist. Rest assured that many flails were had and squeak noises were made. I feel, in some ways, that this episode affirms my theory that the show is indeed as complex and messy as I would like to believe it is.
In other news, I'm still playing catch up. So massively behind on comments. :( And reading fic. :( But my priorities have shifted some lately. I haven't spent nearly as much time online as I used to. Plus, man, I haven't been writing. And it isn't even writer's block or burn-out. Just, kinda... I don't know. The urge isn't particularly there. I'm kinda unmotivated in that area, and I'm somewhat unconcerned. Which is very odd for me, because I'm usually a WRITING IS MY LIFE OMFG kind of person. I almost feel like I'd be quite content not to write for some time. The almost is only because A) I want to stay IN fandom; B) I want to finish what I've already got started. Which admittedly isn't a lot. Or rather, just the one. The Patrick Jane Five Things. I've pretty much tapped on Leverage. I'm only one part done from Five Things, which tempts me into saying "fuck it" and let it be a Four Things... except my last thing WAS a Four Things ("Four Lists"), and well, I'd like to at least pretend like I'm not a repetitive writer.
Ideally, where Leverage is concerned, I wanna read everything I've missed. But lately, I inevitably get drawn to my comfort pairings when I DO read fic. I've been nomming on Tucker/Reed stuff, for no apparent reason. I hate to think I'm already tired of Leverage fandom, but the unexpected BOOM has kinda left me in the dust, I suppose. Either way, I do wanna catch up to the fics written by people on my friendslist at the very least.
Speaking of Tucker/Reed, Connor Trinneer is gonna be on next week's episode of 24. He's rapidly becoming a "hey, it's that guy!" Which is fine and dandy with me. I love CT and I'm glad he's finding work. A part of me is vaguely nostalgic, and I actually kinda wanna rewatch the first two seasons of Enterprise. They're the only two seasons that exist in my mind. I know it was crappy. I love Scott Bakula, but he was inexplicably bad as Archer. But man, I adored the hell out of Tucker and Reed. ;_; Still wish I'd finished my fics for them. :(
Oh, no thanks to opera142, I looked at the wrestlefic kink meme and was traumatized for life. Thanks, Opera. I still can't get over John Morrison/CM Punk, cuddling. Since when is cuddling a kink. I find it pretty hilarious that f!s spooged itself over a SPN kink meme gone too far, and wrestlefandom's kink meme has CUDDLING. Wrestling has CANON BLOOD PLAY. And ELECTROCUTION. Humiliation, torture, bondage, tons of implied dirty and inappropriate sex. I was telling yesdrizella that I was tempted to troll it, but alas, that lack of motivation thing hinders me. I don't know where people find the time and energy to troll and sockpuppet. I have a hard enough time keeping up with this one identity online. Trust me, I've tried setting up an alternate pseudonym in the past. I never managed to get it off the ground. Or I suppose I did, but I couldn't keep it going for longer than a couple of weeks. My laziness is sometimes a virtue, I suppose. Keeps me from doing bad things, or things I'd regret.
Oh oh oh, though. Um. Well, I guess I shouldn't worry about my credibility, since I have none, but uh. yesdrizella asked me the other day if I'd seen the trailer for John Cena's new movie, and I was like, "LOL NO." I was expecting to MOCK AND LAUGH, except for the part where I tried to watch The Marine in good faith. I didn't finish it. Robert Patrick was pretty awesome, but even his awesome wasn't enough. Anyway, I finally saw the trailer for 13 Rounds. I was like, "LOLOLOLOLOLOL......... holy shit, is that Aiden Gillen????" So yeah. I'm gonna have to watch 13 Rounds now. Because of Aiden Gillen. Cries. I saw Shanghai Knights four times (on DVD, I'm not THAT crazy) because of him. It was not a movie meant to be watched four times.
Once again, I sigh and lament: the things I do for the actors I love.
