C. Happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] stultiloquentia! She's an excellent writer and thinker and wit, and she makes me incredibly happy when ever I see her soup can. That was not a dirty innuendo.
I. The IWRY Marathon kicked off today! The story is Letters, by Jo ([livejournal.com profile] librarian2003). I haven't read it yet, but I'm really excited because Jo's a fabulous writer. She's one of the first Jossverse fic authors I've ever read! So hop to it, kids!
N. Tomorrow [livejournal.com profile] lostakasha posts. She wrote B/A, y'all. I'm aquiver with excitement.
D. Does anybody know what happened to Spy!Daddy? I mean, that show, Justice, that used to come on after Bones?
E. Speaking of Bones, this ep was a little hard to watch for me because sometimes every woman I know seems so intent on changing themselves, especially getting thinner. It makes me sad. Also, I'm doing this writing thing where I have to do body modification research, and it's really icky. Like, some of the photos I looked at, with men and 19" waists. I think that's why I'm nauseous.
R. On the other hand, DB. Fuck, that man's arms. No, seriously. I'd do 'em.
E. S4 of AtS OWNS me. It owns me like an owning thing. And long, woe-is-me, what-am-I-now, on-and-on, in-the-church monologues, which JM and that whole scene just, I'm sorry, utterly lamed up for me, VK and that whole other scene made shiny and new for me.
L. Did you guys know T.J. Thyne (Hodgins from Bones) was on AtS?
L. I hate Angel's hair at the beginning of S5. And his clothes.
A. On Oprah, Denzel Washington talked about the art of a single perfect tear.
! Do you guys think Baltar, Joaquin Phoenix, and VK have an uncanny ability to cry?

then there's the amazingness and complexities of the relationships and the way the dialogue zings and zings and makes little squees of delight go off in two dozen different parts of your brain.

Exactly. I've spent a lot of time, since I've become familiar with the canon, digging out mirrors and playing in parallels, looking for the parts where so-and-so is a stand in for someone else and a reflection of yet another, and I watched this again and yeah, suddenly there were so many new and different things that tied knots and threads to each other. Interconnectivity always really gets me high.

even more incredible Connor was the second time around. And this is ME talking here.

ha, yeah, I didn't know you could find him more incredible. ;o)

There's nothing artificial in the way that VK and Phoenix and the guy who plays Baltar cry.

The thing is with all three of them that sometimes I think they are so truly *in* it that they have no idea their eyes are even filling.

But, I must say, Baltar crying does not get to me. It just makes me want to slap him around and tell him to buck the fuck up.

VK with the tears, I'd give him my kidneys if it would make him not be sad. And . . . that's kinda gross.
