if your minds actually begin to meld milk it
The Good Wife
Man, how is Alan Cumming so freaking charming? I don't know how they're going to keep him around on the show next year (it better be renewed!), but they really need to. I especially love his interaction with Alicia. Maybe for Diane's run at a judgeship?
Anyway, I enjoyed last night's episode, though I don't care enough about Tammy to really be engaged in her and Will's storyline. I mean, it seems to me that she was all, "don't fall in love with me or I'm gone!" and now of course, she's decided she's in love with him and he's fallen for her and she gets the surprise overseas job offer, and it's just so rote. I feel like they don't know what they want to do with her except use her as an obstacle to Will/Alicia, and while I really liked her scene with Alicia, I'm just ... I would rather have had a Will-Diane scene or a Diane-Alicia scene about Stern than that.
Otoh, Cary! I draw sparkly hearts around Cary, though I fear it's not going to end well for him. I really liked his confrontation with Kalinda, though, and then with Wiley. Oh, Cary. *smishes him*
I also really liked Alicia on the phone with the reporter (who looked really familiar, but I didn't recognize the actress's name) and how even her unflappable calm isn't going to win the day sometimes (I also loved Eli losing it and his, "Sometimes I don't follow my own directions," response. Eli! ♥
With Canning taking over Stern's firm, I guess we'll be seeing Michael J. Fox again, which is cool. I enjoy his conversations with Alicia, especially that last one by the elevator.
One of the things I enjoy most about this show is that I'm not actually sure how the endgame for this season will play out. It feels like Peter has to win the election to keep things moving, but I don't necessarily know if that's going to be what happens, because they often surprise me.

We all know that Alfonso Cuaron called Remus "Harry's gay junkie uncle," but apparently David Thewlis played him as gay, as well. Which, yes. While I wasn't particularly thrilled with his Lupin, I like to imagine him as a secret Sirius/Remus shipper (as well he should be!). It would explain a lot about that movie. (and seriously, it's right there in canon, I don't care what anybody, including JKR, says.)

I have received two amazing kissing snippets from people from that kiss meme going around:
Danny/Rusty (Ocean's 11) by
shrift
(it amuses me to think that you could probably do an all-Danny edition of this - or any other - meme, featuring at least five or six different fandoms [the same goes for an all-Jack or all-Sam version])
and
Morgan/Garcia (Criminal Minds) by

Speaking of kissing:
How to Kiss
by Rick Lupert
I
Locate someone other than yourself.
Make sure they have lips.
II
Find out if the person you've located is agreeable to kissing.
You can do this any way you want, except for asking.
III
Make sure you have your lips with you.
Nothing is more embarrassing than moving to kiss someone
and realizing you've left your lips at home or in the car.
Unless you happen to be in the car,
where you can slyly move to adjust the radio,
slapping on your lips during the confusion.
IV
Tell the person their eyes make you want to do gymnastics,
or at least be present where gymnastics are being done.
V
Touch the hand.
Any Hand.
Not your own hand.
VI
Lean your head forward at a slight angle (such as fifteen degrees)
so your foreheads will connect first
as if you're attempting a Vulcan mind meld.
If your minds actually begin to meld MILK IT.
VII
Slowly re-angle your head so your lips become parallel with his or hers.
Practice this ahead of time using a protractor.
VIII
Allow your lips to make contact with the other lips
BUT DON'T MOVE THEM.
Remain completely still for twenty-eight minutes
or until you hear an electronic beeping
indicating it is time to move to step nine.
This time may vary depending on political climate
and lip gloss.
IX
Repeat steps five through eight.
X
Clear your head
so the only thing you can focus on
is a PBS special on the clitoris.
XI
Begin moving your lips in a slow up and down fashion,
varying with left and right motions every fifteen seconds.
XII
Force your tongue through your subject's lips and teeth.
Fight past their tongue.
Charge forward until you reach the uvula.
Kissing is just an intimate game of Capture the Uvula.
XIII
Abandon all tenderness
with reckless nibbling
of anything fleshy you encounter.
XIV
Congratulations!
You are now kissing.
XV
Imagine life as a Frenchman.
