why did i not watch this earlier?
I'm six episodes in to Queer as Folk and oh, jesus christ, Michael and Dr. David are searing my screen. Every time they kiss, my heart is in my throat, my lungs ache, my teeth itch. I'm kind of sad to know that Dr. David only lasts this season (that's what I get for looking at IMDB while I watch, I guess), but I'm glad that Michael at least gets something good, every once in awhile. I was starting to worry.
It's kind of fun to watch Brian being a bitch, too. And Emmett and Ted being all supportive. ♥
I had no idea I would enjoy this so much. I mean, I thought it would be worth watching. But I think I'm getting kind attached.
*wry smile* Like I need another new fandom. In my "hiatus," I've kind of fallen hard for two new ones already -- the brand-spanking-new Star Trek reboot and the gorgeous, rockin' season 8 of American Idol. Well, okay, I don't really care much about American Idol in the general case. Pop music is not so much my thing. But I do care about Adam Lambert (and his ability to actually rock on a pop show, not to mention his insane talent and utter conviction of fabulous self) and Kris Allen (and his pure adorability and goodness), and also Allison Iraheta and her total awesomeness. (For a taste of the delight that is Adam and Kris, check out their interview with US Magazine (note: spoiler for the end of the season, and disregard the silly question about the result)). Star Trek, well, let's just say it was still thoroughly enjoyable the third time through (I cry at the beginning every time), and I have an unexpectedly enormous crush on one Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, in Karl Urban form. I love pretty much everyone else, too, of course. (I dare you to watch giandujakiss's adorable Kirk/Spock/Uhura vid and not find it appealing and fun and charming, I dare you.) The only thing I do wish is that they'd have given John Cho more funny lines, given what a gifted comedian he is (see: Kitchen Confidential and Harold and Kumar go to White Castle). But if that's the biggest quibble I have about something, then that's saying a lot. Anyway, I see recs posts in my future for those two.
Which is not to say I'm jumping ship. I'm still happily reading lots of bandom (I'm halfway through writing up a Believers Never Die Part Deux concert report and eagerly awaiting the start of bandombigbang posting), and will be getting back into Supernatural as soon as I manage to watch the final two episodes (I keep being stupid about scheduling so that's two Thursday nights spent on airplanes, oops; plus I'm so annoyed that the CW took the second to last episode off the website so quickly that I don't really want to give them the satisfaction of paying for it by downloading it from iTunes), and will certainly always be hanging out for many other fandoms (for example, I'm on a Leverage kick thanks in part to norah's fantastic recs post). Anyway, I've been betaing a lot but writing rather little (I always feel like I should be working on my resume instead), but I feel like I should try to fix that -- possibly by scoping prompts at Porn Battle VIII, which is looking to be stellar as always. Prompt-leaving is open 'til 7 pm UK time (that's 1 pm for me on US Central), whee!
