I tried to pay for my coffee this morning. I ordered, I stood there in front of the register with money in my hand. I got my coffee. I stood there with money. Tried to get the attention of one of the four employees. Stood there waving dollar bills like I was looking for a g-string to fill. Eventually I gave up and departed with my hot (ha!)

Oh, and I must try this anime now, I've been hearing wonderful things about it:)

It's like the fangirl plague! ;-)

Avatar really is fabulous. I highly recommend it. It's playing on Nickelodeon, and I think there are repeats of earlier episodes all October.

NCIS last night was weirdly homoerotic. Not that I object, of course, but Bellisario is usually large with the Republican values and ridiculously overt heterosexuality, and not so much with the sledgehammer of HoYay.

Well, homosexuality is not just for Democrats nowadays.

This reminds me -- there was an episode of Quantum Leap where Sam 'leaped' into the life of a (suspected) gay serviceman. ("Sam, what are you drinking?" "Tea." "Tea?" "Yes, Al, tea. I'm drinking tea.")

Har. Very true.

Extra post 'cause I will blather long and hard about The Wire

I have been watching The Wire, and I'm almost done with season two. A few things of note: a) I want to marry Lester Freamon. I have since episode 3.

"I don't want to go no dance if I can't rub some titty."

Freamon is the kind of guy I want to be when I get older. I wasn't surprised to learn that Clark Peters has done some musical theater work. There is something elegant about the way he moves and speaks.

b) Stringer Bell is hot like burning. He makes Macroeconomics hot. I'll bet he smells really good.

"You know what we got here? An elastic product. You know what that means? It means when people can go elsewhere and get their printing and copying done, they're GONNA DO IT!"

Wait until you see the Roberts' Rules of Order scene in season three.

c) My love for Omar cannot be textually rendered.

"I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game, though, right?"

A scene that will live forever.

d) There's something sublime about McNulty using his powers for

Still...no mention of Bunk? Where's the love for the Bunk?

Oh, I have love for Bunk. I love to watch him work and communicate with various iterations of "fuck". And there ain't much better than a grumpy Bunk shaking his ass.

You'll have to fight me, because I want to marry Lester, and I wanted to FIRST. God, he's dreamy.

Agree about Omar. There are no words. Wait'll you see him in the current season. I'll say no more.

I once ran into the Kima actress on the street, and she was dressed and spoke just like Kima. (She spoke to me about my dog, and I then shyly told her I loved her show. Otherwise I very seldom talk to actors I run into.)

I'm just pleased people are willing to fight me for him. Because there would be something very WRONG with this world if nobody but me wanted to marry Lester Freamon.

Hee. Awesome.

You know, this was very nearly a post completely about media I don't consume. That would have been sad. However, when I woke up this morning at 4AM, there was watching of last night's NCIS. Which was...strangely gay.

[shrift]

Aww. That would have been sad. (Although I would suggest Netflixing Avatar, for it is gorgeous and wonderful, and hits so many of my narrative kinks in the best possible way.)

Which was...strangely gay.

It was like getting smacked in the face with a trout! Totally not what I was expecting when I tuned in last night.
