So I went ahead and dyed my hair. I was expecting it to run to about thirty bucks (I went to the local cosmetology school, because they're inexpensive and I've actually gotten pretty decent results there since the students are supervised) and it actually came in at $16, because it was a small area of tinting, not my whole head ( Read more... )

They're doing a MacGyver comic book! I am excite ( Read more... )

You guys, I know I'm late to the party as always, but Homeland is an awesome, awesome show that I am tearing through using itunes and watching it on my bitty screen and I'm just so absorbed I can't stand it. And the cast is so good. Damian Lewis is very Charlie-Crewsian but with a really snakey side and Monica Baccarin is amazing in what could be a ( Read more... )

I never get to see archery at the Olympics, but in keeping with this apparently being the year of the archer, I just watched the men's team archery medal rounds. Very tense, very exciting. Now if I can see some fencing, judo, taikwondo, wrestling, cross country, and stadium jumping, I'll be happy. I know I'll get to see diving and gymnastics.

Tom and Lorenzo have made the point recently in one of their Mad Style posts (which specifically dissect Mad Men's clothing choices and how they serve the story) that ( Read more... )

Really enjoyed the first two eps. Like the way that Don and Megan are a different sort of trouble than Don and Betty were - lots of sexual heat (and some power-play kink) along with all sorts of issues about working together, Megan's place in the office, what she may want out of work vs what he wants from her at work with him...really juicy stuff ( Read more... )

The Unusuals was a sadly short-lived quirky cop drama/comedy that I really wish had hung around for longer. Rewatching the first couple of shows right now and shaking my fist at what should have been a fun few seasons ( Read more... )

Test drove our new little cheapie hibachi today, and alas I botched the setup, resulting in a dense smokey taste that will likely stay in the back of my throat for the next year and a half. Burgers were cooked and consumed, but I can't say they were good, exactly. Will try to improve next time ( Read more... )

Watched the second disc of Community and we both continue to love it. I'm sure we're missing a bunch of dialogue because we're not rewatching (at least not right away, I may pick up the DVDs at some point) and stuff goes by fast, but we're both really enjoying the show. It's a well-built thing, too - the characters have more to do, the ( Read more... )

Castle tonight was excellent. EXCELLENT.
I am unabashedly squeeing my little heart out. FOR SERIOUS.
