(no subject)
I haven't been on livejournal in absolutely ages, which is really sad because I have had loads of stuff to write about! My life has been well and truly getting in the way. Although I love having more stuff to do, it's been getting quite tiring... I could really do with a weekend of doing nothing to catch up on all the tidying and laundry and reading and other things I want to get done.
I should be doing something right now, actually. I have one article to research and write, a shorthand homework to do for the Hot Shorthand Tutor and I have a begging letter to write for work experience (and the necessary research to do for that so I can sound like I've been reading their magazines for years rather than only heard of them today). Instead I am watching episodes of CSI:NY on my laptop. Oops.
But CSI:NY is so good! Not as geeky as Vegas (I miss the dorky scientists of Grissom's lab) but with the latest episodes of the original CSI series showing distinct signs of stagnation (even William Peterson is looking decidedly mouldy), I have been seeking refuge in the enthusiasm of the early episodes of the baby of the franchise. The less said about Miami the better, in my opinion.
CSI:NY has all the classic elements that made Vegas so great; brilliant cast, interesting characters, clever scripts, bizarre cases and an exciting soundtrack. All infused with a dark, moody, grimy, street-wise, New York feel.
Err, but I am a geek. So what I really, really watch it for is the slow-burn relationship between Danny and Lindsay. Actually the cutest canon romance of any of the CSIs, and the most watchable, and believable. I just watched "Stuck on You" which really showed up the chemistry between those two characters, in a far less ham-fisted way than any of Vegas's Sara/Grissom "moments".
Oh, and I watch for Gary Sinise. I love Gary Sinise. Lieutenant Dan can captain my shrimp boat anyday.
That was a bit odd. None of the things I wanted to write about were CSI related... Oh well. Time for another episode!
