Productive? Not so much.
I have not really stopped over the last few weeks, so I took a half a day off from work today. I really, really needed the physical rest. So, I lounged around in my pj's watching CM and I managed to finish the book I was reading. That's it. No housework, no for-work work, no stress, I just chilled. It was fantastic.
I'm excited because I've worked so much lately that I've actually banked some decent money...decent for me, anyway, the rest of you would probably laugh. I've got to buy shelving for my closet and a curtain rod, but other than that, it's all going in the bank to help pay bills this winter when things get lean. Thanks to my awesome job, I've also managed to get some great household furnishings at a great price, so life is really pretty good right now.
I don't dare talk too much about baseball...it makes me nervous to curse a good thing, ya know? Suffice to say, nobody is gloating at me anymore. So much for 8-0, huh? ;-D
And now, a TV show meme that I spent far too long on
Before I do this, I need to stress that other than Criminal Minds, I didn't used to watch much television. For whatever reason, in February, that changed and I'm a "cop" show junkie now. DVR is the greatest thing ever.
Pick your five favorite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don't cheat! (and I did not! *ridiculously proud)
1. Criminal Minds
2. NCIS
3. Without A Trace
4. Cold Case
5. CSI:NY
01. Who's your favorite character in 2 (NCIS)?
Mmm. McGee. Don't tell DiNozzo.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1 (Criminal Minds)?
Honestly, I do not have one. I love them all. I didn't care for Elle and I haaated Jordan Todd, but I love the current cast so freaking much that it's unreal. They're like my little chicks.
03. What's your favorite episode of 4 (Cold Case)?
Hm. I really liked A Time To Hate...I really only watch it because it's on a lot. I don't enjoy it like I do the others; I don't really have a favorite.
04. What's your favorite season of 5 (CSI:NY)?
Season 2. I loved almost every episode in season 2.
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3 (Without A Trace)?
Oh, Martin/Danny. Yes, please. (Danny/Elena if I have to pick a het ship)
06. Who is your antiship in 2 (NCIS)?
Gibbs/Duckie. I love Duckie. Love him. But I cannot ship him with anyone. Ever. EVER.
07. How long have you watched 1 (Criminal Minds)?
Like, how long have I been a fan, or how many hours have I spent watching it? Because the latter could be frightening.
08. How did you become interested in 3 (Without A Trace)?
I stumbled on it by accident one night a few months back and I got hooked pretty easily, I must admit. What can I say, I like crime procedurals. Naturally, it's been canceled.
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4 (Cold Case)?
ANYONE but the woman who plays Lily. I watch the show despite hating her with a passion. She's a terrible actress who obviously thinks she's something special. I loathe her. I like the woman who plays Miller, though.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1 (Criminal Minds) or 2 (NCIS) or 5 (CSI:NY)?
Anyone who knows me knows the answer is Criminal Minds. That will always, always be above the others.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 (Criminal Minds) or 3 (Without A Trace)?
Watch Heather qualify this answer! I've seen more actual eps of Without A Trace, but only because there are so many more to see. That said, I have seen every single episode of CM so many times I could quote them word-for-word and know each and every quirky thing that happens. If you added up the amount of time I've spent watching CM compared to WAT, it wouldn't even remotely come close.
12. If you could be anyone from 4 (Cold Case), who would you be?
Uh. I guess Scotty because that'd make me a hot Latino dude. I like the show, but it's not really the kind of show I get all "omg I love this characterrrr!" ya know?
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1 (Criminal Minds)?
I don't have a favorite, I love them all and I don't want to kill ANY of them off. That said, if anyone's going to be killed off, it will be Hotch. When Gibson leaves the show, they will HAVE to kill Hotch off because he'd never just leave the BAU, it's who he is. I'd throw a HUGE swerve in there and make him be the biggest, baddest unsub they've ever chased, and make the team hunt him. Who pulls the trigger? Rossi.
14. Give a random quote from 1 (Criminal Minds)?
GAH. Um. I have a whole SCENE from Omnivore that I really want to quote here but I won't.
Reid: Could you guys do me a favor?
Morgan: Anything.
Reid: Could at least one of you look like you're going to see me again?
♥ "Anything." ♥
16. Would a 3/4 (Cold Case/WAT) crossover work?
If WAT wasn't canceled it would have.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 (CM) that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
HOTCH/GARCIA. Ship it, bitches. She calls him Aaron, he calls her Penelope and sends her surreptitious flowers and makes sure to thank her and share meaningful looks with her. She makes him play and makes him laugh. Plus, he gossips with her (HE is the one who called her to tell her what Viper said to Emily. Not Morgan, not Em, HOTCH did). They are so love.
18. Has 5 (CSI:NY) inspired you in any way?
Uh, no? It's a TV show, not a self-help seminar.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 (NCIS) or 4 (Cold Case)?
Oh, easily NCIS. That cast is fantastic.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 (WAT) or 5 (CSI:NY)?
Oh puh-lease. As if ANYTHING on tv beats Baba O'Reilly? I think not. CSI:NY wins.
Hm. I don't have a book to read before bed. That kinda sucks.
