White Collar continues to make me happy even though I'm pretty sure I'm watching a totally different show than the rest of fandom.
- the Pete as a younger less worn down Bill Maxwell vibe remains strong, so strong
- El is my favourite character
- Pete is my second favourite character
- I totally believe that El has a younger brother named Charles
- show is competing strongly for my favourite OT3 grouping ever
- I keep forgetting the main character's name, but oh my, he's ridiculously pretty

I'm reading a nice Leverage - Eliot angst - WIP. I do not read WIPs if I can avoid it, but I do sample them sometimes. This one sucked me in. Now I have to wait for the next installment. Why do I do this to myself?

( I haven't seen Supernatural yet. )

It's been a long day, but New Show tonight! As always, I am hopeful.

Here are ten Dean/Victor Henriksen fics recs via . I don't think I've read any of them! I've found the quality of recs at this comm to be fairly good, but I'm happy if I end up liking even a quarter of what gets recc'd at a comm, YMMV.

On Sunday I nabbed season one of Wire in the Blood, a BBC production, starring Robson Green and Hermione Norris. I'm currently nabbing season three as I'm on the last epiosde of season two. (One thing about British dramas is they rarely have many episodes per season.)If you like police stories that don't involve high speed chases and explosions (I love those too!) this could be worth checking out. If you don't mind a certain level of violence and gore - less than what drove me from Bones and Criminal Minds - you might enjoy this. The story telling isn't perfect, but the characterization is golden and the acting very capable. It's worth a try.

Donny Osmond RPF. By "pros". This helps to explain why I never understood the upset over RPF. 16 and Tiger Beat were staples of my tween years.

Originally seen at dotfic's journal and continuing to spread the news: Chuck will be back on Sunday, Jan. 10, at 9 p.m. with two episodes. The show starts in its regular time slot, Mondays at 8 p.m.on Jan. 11. Hurray!

Chapters is now taking interact online. I may end up with less available cash, but at least I won't be using plastic there from here on out.

Nearly ten years after it was published, I'm finally reading Stephen King's On Writing and thoroughly enjoying it. So far he's not saying anything new, but what he says is worth reading again and he says it in an entertaining fashion.

Farscape is my comfort viewing. I didn't even decide to start watching. I just wanted to see John get zapped by D'Argo that first time. Now, I'm halfway through the first season. Again.

Dear Mr. Kripke:
( Supernatural 5.09 )

Well, damn. I'm not surprised they've cancelled Eastwick. At least they plan on airing all 13 episodes. That's better than we'd get from the friendly folk at Fox.

In between working today, I cruised the internet as one does and found some things of interest.

1. The Forgotten. "A series of sixty-nine portraits (eight-foot by 10-foot portraits) of women's faces - women from Vancouver's downtown eastside who have been missing for more than a decade." (There is music, so turn your speakers down a bit, but give it a listen. Good song.)The artist is Pamela Masik and information about the Project is at her website, Pamela Masik.

2. This you tube vid on Bayard Rustin.

3. A website that posts bank robbery notes.

4. Canadian feminist blog - Roses Place

5. Unrepentant Old Hippie blog. Oh come on, of course, I checked it out. Who wouldn't?

6. This article on The fifth annual White Tiger's Girl Conference made me wonder, where is the equally needed conference for boys that will give boys the tools to avoid committing violence? Then I stumbled across this link to "Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity". (As in all vid links, avoid the comments.)

7. This link is purely for the pretty. Don't miss the Nichelle Nichols photo. It's wonderful and very Nichelle.

8. We Move to Canada a blog of interest to Canadians and Americans. There's a link filled, detailed post on the current Health Bill that was just passed in the U.S. that's interesting reading.

9. This blog Confabulous made me hopeful.

10. This is just for fun and the oooh factor, Skate & Create.

Current Mood: curious
