that's enough to put the heat on
Wow, I am really sleepy.
Had a lovely dinner with
harriet_spy this evening, and she sent me home with a handful of Robin and Nightwing-related comics. Heh.
I posted a story this afternoon:
Have You Heard the One About...
Under the Red Hood; Dick/Jason; pg; 1,495 words
"Have you heard the one about--" "I already told you, I've heard them all."
Because somehow, in the middle of the night last night, it seemed like a good idea.
harriet_spy assures me that this is normal in the early days of one's adoration of Dick Grayson, so I'm not going to fret too much about it. (And it's not like I've ever avoided a good - or bad - dick joke in my stories before, so...)

Yesterday, I watched a lot of TV. Here are some brief thoughts:
Glee
How on earth could anyone have not voted for "River Deep, Mountain High?" I love Quinn, but that duet with the new kid was schmaltzy in a really unpalatable way to me. I loved Kurt's take on Victor/Victoria (a song and a movie I love), and also his duet with Rachel. I also really liked Tina and Mike's duet. Otoh, I did miss Puck and Sue, and now they've made me dislike Artie. Basically, I'm only keeping up with this now for the music and to keep up with the chatter on my flist.
Criminal Minds
I wasn't in the mood to watch it on Wednesday, but then I heard it was Garcia-focused, so I needed to watch it. OH MY HEART! That scene with Morgan, where he puts her glasses on and is all, "There she is, the Garcia I know and love." *draws a million sparkly hearts around them* And Hotch! Taking care of her as best he can. Oh, Hotch, you are the best team mom ever! Also, Prentiss FTW! Where is the fic about Garcia teaming up with Hardison to rule the world? There should be lots and lots of it.
Hawaii Five-O
It's only three episodes in and someone's already wondering how long they've been married. Heh. I occasionally almost like McGarrett, but then he turns into a douche again, which makes it kind of hard for me to get on board the Steve/Danny train. YOU CAN DO BETTER, DANNO! (Kono is right there!) Also, I don't think I ever realized just how much shorter Scott Caan is than Alex O'Loughlin until this episode. Heh. What was the point of McGarrett's sister showing up? She didn't do anything or reveal anything except that he had a sister and they're estranged. The show is what it is, and it's very good and enjoyable at being what it is, but I can't help but wish for more Chin and Kono and less McGarrett.
I also finished off my viewing of Batman Beyond. I ended up really liking the series (Terry! ♥), but I don't have to count Epilogue as canon, right? Because I would really like it to not be a part of canon at all, especially Terry's descent into batdickery. WTF was that about? Ugh. Anyway, what I really noticed about the series is how much ...warmer Bruce is as an old man. Possibly because everybody he ever loved walked away from him? I don't know. Still, though, I kept wishing that we'd see Bruce on the phone at some point and it would be revealed that he was talking to Dick. I realize that for the premise of the show to work, Bruce has to be alone at the start, but even so, that estrangement was more painful than I expected it to be.
At some point I might talk about Return of the Joker, which I thought was really well done for what it is, but which I'm ambivalent about, for various reasons I can't quite articulate yet (and which I don't think are related to my lack of investment in Tim).
