(no subject)
Time for a quick meme between running errands and slogging off to the library to do a big heap of reading. Gacked from fairmer:
Look at your LJ "interests" list. If you have less than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between 50 and 75 interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over 75 interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much:
cameron mitchell - Cam's a bouncy puppy of an Air Force colonel; he's an SG-1 fanboy suddenly put in charge of the team, and through sheer ankle-biting tail-wagging persistence, he's managed to reunite Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c and get them all to run around the galaxy with him, getting in adventures. He has a variably intense Southern accent (it seems to come out when he's tired or stressed, or trying to charm the natives, but I'd have to rewatch all the episodes to analyze it properly, poor me...) He has a knack for making Teal'c roll his eyes. And, oh yeah, he's a serious badass when it comes time to save the world or his people.
detroit red wings - My guys! They're the NHL team I imprinted on, heroes and stars every one, from Stevie Y. (He won a Stanley Cup and an Olympic gold in the same year, skating on one leg! He came back from unprecedented bone surgery to play again in the NHL and, God willing, next year's Olympics!) right on down the line to Nick Jr. (baby defenseman in need of some, uh, polish. And development. And stuff.) and I am seriously getting a job just so I can afford a cable package that will broadcast their games. A girl's got her priorities.
fine-point black rsvp pens - Dude, they are the BEST PENS IN THE WORLD.
james wilson - He's the only character on the entire show that I have yet to hate even a little bit (which probably doesn't bode well for him in season two). He hangs around at his boyfriend's house, helping him get ready for a date! He comes down to Diagnostics ALL THE TIME for no readily apparent reason, and he wears fetching ties. What more do you need?
michelle magorian - She wrote my favorite book, Good Night, Mr. Tom, about a child evacuated from London during the Blitz. All of her books that I've managed to track down deal with approximately that subject matter, kids and teenagers during and after the war.
ray kowalski - On the inside, he's a poet, but on the outside--shake, bad guys, shake. He bleaches his hair, he puts Smarties in his instant coffee, he's a deadeye shot when he's wearing his ugly glasses, he likes to dance, he talks to Dief, and he is madly in love with this crazy Mountie.
simon tam - He's a dapper doctor living on a grungy spaceship! He's a little bit in love with his baby sister! He's never going to hook up with Kaylee (Mal would kill him if he tried anything) and anyway, he wants to have hot monkey sex with Jayne. Plus, he sleeps without a shirt and then sometimes we get to see him wandering around in nothing but his jammie pants.
the 4400 - Coolest premise EVER: 4400 people, abducted alien-style over the past 50 years, are all returned together in a clearing just outside Seattle. Plus, this one makes my liberal brain hurt (in a good way? I guess?) by making Homeland Security the good guys. Anytime I'm rooting for somebody to get nailed under PATRIOT you know the people making the show are doing something right.
writing - It's what I do.
