I don't turn on the TV unless for my daily hour of Friends, soccer and, of course, movies. So, I'm not very aware of any new shows. I was addicted to TV shows in the past, but now I don´t really care. I know 30 Rock and Glee and The Closer and any other show. Although I don't know all the shows, of course. I know what they're about (most of the time) and sometimes, when really bored, I even watch them. Not because they're so bad, they're my last choice; but because... I've gotten used to only turning on the TV to watch Friends, etc. that I just.... don't remember.
So, it's no surprise to me that Los Hombres de Paco is almost on its 9th season and I've just heard of it. I knew about it because I read something about it on
AfterEllen, but didn't pay much attention to it. Besides, I don't think I even get that channel. It's an spanish dramedy show. Anyway, I read that name again on one of the many pic spams over at
picspammy and thought that maybe I should just give it a try.
And I did.
I watched Silvia and Pepa's relationship (all thanks to
Pepsienglish. Yes, it's got english subtitles!) For three seasons, I think. The show is good (I think I'm gonna try and get all the seasons, even the pre Pepsi ones.
But... (to anyone out there, if anyone is reading this, please don't click on this unless you want to get spoiled. Though, maybe not, since this is really, really old news. But still)
It doesn't really end well. Yes, my luck with TV shows couldn't get better, I know. First, they kill off Erica on Grey's and now... Now, this on Los Hombres de Paco it's like I'm destined to only enjoy my pairings in the fanfic world. Not that I complain at all, but I'd like one, just one, that actually survives, please. And thank you.
Now, I'm engrossed in Pepsi fic over at
pepa_silvia And since, sadly, I think... well, I don't want to say it's dying, but...
erica_callie is pretty slow these days. So, Pepsi fic. There's good, there's pure smut and there are... others. And I'm thinking of maybe, possibly writing something. I have an idea and I know I'm not really a writer but... maybe I should just think like everybody else: "fanfiction is not supposed to be good. It's almost never good."
Oh, no. I can't do that. I flinched a little just from writing that sentence.
Maybe I should just do it, just write. But from that to actually post it, well... Let's just say I have a Callica ficlet written since February and the only thing missing is courage (whether it's liquid or real) to post it.
When I'm finished reading all the fics (I'm sure it won't take too long) I might even review some of them. (:
