leaving me to make inadequate explanations.
My submission to 
ladiesbigbang was accepted, which means my face is now stuck somewhere between :D and D: - on the one hand, I have been marked as acceptable by an objective outside source! Not that they're screening for quality (and lucky break for me there), but still. Standards were set, and I met them! :D On the other hand, I now have to actually put the fic somewhere where other people will see it. Not that they're necessarily going to, if the summary is boring enough, but the possibility will exist. DDDDDDDDDDDD: I suspect I'm going to be doing a lot of test posts before the 12th - I know what I've found useful in the past as far as navigating a multi-chapter fic goes, but I've never tried to actually code it before. Maybe if I just stick it on the AO3? So many choices!
Anyway. Back to TV.
I am liking Rizzoli & Isles better and better as time goes by. I'm not totally sure what they're doing with Serial Killer Man, or whether I like it; that thing with Rizzoli's former partner and her reveal of at least some of her issues was a little ham-handed, but ... not completely terrible? I'll have to watch it again. But that conversation where Rizzoli had to reassure Isles that he was wrong about her was priceless in its adorableness. If I hadn't shipped it before, I definitely would now. **draws hearts**
I liked the marathon ep pretty well, too, particularly that they arrested the woman and the rapist asshole she had been about to murder. I was afraid they were leaning a little heavily on her as the sole villain, but by the end of the ep, it seemed to me like they'd balanced it out pretty well.
I ... really don't know what to say. I love Auggie, and I really do like Annie when they're not screwing around with the Sri Lanka Boyfriend plotline; but they seem to screw around with the Sri Lanka Boyfriend plotline a lot, which makes my reaction very meh. I assume they're going to be doing increasingly interesting things with it - judging by the synopses I've seen, possibly in the very episode I haven't watched yet - but sometimes it feels like they're bringing it up just because they're afraid I've forgotten about it. :P Anyway. Here's hoping catching up will make me happier with it. (Not that I'm unhappy with it; just ... meh.)
I really should have just saved watching the last episode until right before it comes back in November, because cliffhangers kill me. D: I am still severely not a fan of the dialogue in the scenes with Jesse; it is so horrendously transparent, and also not funny. Madeline is the only reason I didn't mute that whole section. :P But I like the plot that's going on with him in the abstract, and the shooting-through-Michael thing was very John McClane. The whole car-crash bloody-hand mystery-dude-taking-the-briefcase thing was so blatantly setup for November, I really ought to be rolling my eyes at it; but I can't help it, I NEED TO KNOW. D:
The Closer, I am still watching, but I have no thoughts, because ... I don't remember what it was, but there was something going on - oh, it might have been B messaging me, now that I think about it - that prevented me from paying full attention. :P So I'm going to need to rewatch this week's over the weekend.
The LJ/FB/Twitter thing kind of makes me lol at the same time I shake my head. I barely use Facebook, and I only have an account at LJ for crossposting and because maybe I might want to sign up for a challenge there, but I pretty definitely would not want those two things linked together. I could handle some of my RL friends finding me in fandom, particularly the ones who already know I'm into it but just don't know where to look for me; but not all of them, and I also would like to keep fandom way far away from my workplace. D: But I am moved to lol by the reaction - particularly the poll about it - and by how clear it is that LJ wasn't expecting people to mind. Oh, LJ.
