Sing, o barren one
* In news that is neither new, shocking, or remotely newsworthy: I really need to not buy comics straight from my KFire. It's too freaking easy to make the impulse buy. It's easy enough in a brick and mortar store to buy things by the armful, but normally by the time I get to checking out, I can look at everything i picked up and eventually put at least a few things back. From the app: click!
I'm going to at least try to make myself only buy stuff from the online store (this is Comixology, btw), which at least has no one-click option, and makes me look at the cart full of things before I can check out. Also, I have to use the web, anyway, for any of the DC and related imprints, since they're not available through the app.
* So, one month of the Fire, and I have to say I'm happy, even if I am frustrated with the touch-screen at times. I think that's far more of a me-problem than the tech itself.
* I found one of my notebooks a few weeks ago with notes I had on a White Collar story (El/Peter and Neal/Peter, though the possibility of El/Peter/Neal in the future) I never actually sat down and finished and thought, "Huh." Then this season started, and I'm actually seriously thinking about going back to it. It's so fluffy and fun, and I want to have El and Neal ganging up on Peter (in multiple ways).
* In things not me:
* Martin Csokas set for Noah and new American TV drama. The latter is with Thandie Newton.
* New Bourne Legacy clip! Which is cool and really, really made me want to see more Jeremy Renner-as-Hawkeye, but Bourne is happening much, much sooner.
* Emmy nominations came out this morning. I think it says a lot about the quality of primetime that the only drama series nominated that is NOT on a cable channel is Downton Abbey--which, of course, is PBS. Yeah. It's been creeping more and more that way for years, but this is a little startling how very, very little is from the regular networks. Not that I'm watching much of anything from the big 4 these days.
And both Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman were nominated for "A Scandal in Belgravia" in the Actor and Supporting Actor (respectively) in a TV-Movie or Miniseries. And a slew of others for that particular one.
* Rec of the Day:
Avengers-movieverse: Slipping Through the Years--Steve is a ghost. But only kind of. Very The Ghost and Mrs. Muir quality, where while Steve's body is in the ice, his spirit is wandering everywhere, including visiting Howard, and finds that little Tony Stark is the only one who knows he's there.
