So fungus_files was my first mutual friend on lj. I was checking my profile today and didn't see her in the friends list... some time ago the account was deleted and purged. I sobbed. Legit sobbed. Crying. With tears.

SO. TEEN WOLF.

I may have posted about this before. Or maybe not. I am kind of addicted. To the fandom, not the show. The show is, well, let's just say MTV obviously hires more for the ability to look good shirtless than acting ability. (eta: I mean. I like the show. But I started watching it a year ago and then gave up, so it's clearly not, like, marathon-in-a-week level of liking.)

BUT. I really need to figure out how to use tumblr effectively (iow, NOT just flailing around about how I can't use it). I mean... I can't, like, TALK to people on it, right? I just send a post out into the ether and hope someone reblogs it? And if I like something, I reblog it? That seems rather pointless. What do I do if someone has a post I like and I want to say, "hey, cool story bro"? I reblog? GAH.

I need to figure this out because my husband is tired of hearing about my Really Slashy Teen Wolf Thoughts. I mean, he's a nice husband, so he listens and says "yep, they all sound really gay, they should totally just make out, Stiles and Derek already" because he knows that's what I want to hear, but, like, he has no clue who they are, has never even seen pictures of them (which, okay, I went about a year in SGA fandom without having ever watched the show, and my only pictures of John and Rodney came from wikipedia, so I think A PICTURE wouldn't be too much, but he doesn't want any teenage werewolfiness rubbing off on him - HAH SEE WHAT I DID THERE). He's also tired of hearing my Not At All Slashy Teen Wolf Thoughts. Really, Any Teen Wolf Thoughts are kind of in no-go territory right now. So I would like to flail excitedly with people who are also flailing excitedly about the same things.

eta: ALSO, you guys know that angsty manpain is my second-favorite thing in tv shows right?

(Strong lady characters are my favorite thing. But those shows usually aren't the kind I get epically fannish about. But let me tell you, The Good Wife and Major Crimes LIVE IN MY SOUL.)

I feel like I'm turning into an overly-familiar old lady in all of the comments I leave on fic. wtf, brain.

I really love The CW's Arrow. It's not going to win awards for anything anytime soon, unless there's some sort of "show featuring most shirtless manpain" award, in which case it would be a contender though would probably still be beat out by Teen Wolf, but it never fails to bring the hilarity.

Like Oliver Queen's facial expressions. He almost never fails to bring the wrong emotion to any scene. Like, why does no in the show one notice how his emotions are wrong for almost every single thing he does or says? Reduces me to hysterical laughter every episode. It's like Prison Break, where dramatic glowering passed for "acting." (Extra funny when I realized they had to be directed to do that since most of the actors can actually act.) Except only Oliver Queen is doing it.

While we're talking about Oliver Queen or his actor's inability to express appropriate emotions, how about his inability to have any chemistry with Laurel? I like Laurel. She's awesome. But their relationship is just one big black hole of suck. I can believe he'd be pining after her, because, well, she's clearly so much more awesome than he is, and she was the only tie back to home he had on the island so he made her into his lifeline, but it seems really unbelievable that Laurel as she's written would want to get back with him. I think the show will push it because of the comics canon, but it's so hard to believe since he has less chemistry with her than any single other character on the show. I know my husband and I are With The Internet on this, but seriously the nail in that coffin was sealed when Felicity joined the Hood team and Oliver started smiling around her a lot, and not one of those fake "I am having entirely the wrong emotional reaction slash trying to charm you as Oliver Queen, Billionaire" smiles.

Also why has the guy from Teen Wolf not been shirtless yet? Prime waste of good manflesh. *shakes head sadly*

Just read in an article that Neil Gaiman wrote half of his new book at one of my favorite restaurants that happened to have catered my wedding. Weird. Weird weird. Now I wonder if I was ever in there for lunch and Neil Gaiman was in there too and I didn't even know.

Knights of the Old Republic has come out on the ipad... my husband cannot stop playing it. I'm thinking I'll have to buy it too because how can I not? I never made it all the way through on the computer. I got further in Myst on the ipad than I ever did on the computer, and Myst is a much less interesting game.

I'm reading the Stargate: Atlantis novel "Reliquary" by Martha Wells, and it is CREEPY AS FUCK. Oh my god. I read like a third of it last night and finally had to stop because I was so creeped out, and I wanted to finish it today but I had this work thing and didn't get home until ten, and now I want to pick it up and read it again because The Continuing Adventures of John and Rodney (set sometime in the first season though) are awesome, but it's dark and the husband and dog are asleep and the bunny is no help whatsoever because if I am freaked out she can sense it and will hide and make frightened "merp!" noises. And then the creepyass things will come to get me in the dark, just like in the book!!

I like the book so far... I hate scary things but I really want to find out what happens. And I really miss SGA apparently. It's not like I couldn't just watch an episode, but, you know. nostalgia and whatnot.

Today I managed to get a sunburn while sitting in the shade. I'm not sure how that happened. It's really bad too. Dislike.

You may be too tired to do internet things when you stare, slack-jawed, at the news that there are My Little Pony comic books for five minutes, without actually making the move to purchase them.

I am reading "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer... and liking it.

I AM NOW MARRIED AS OF LIKE A FEW HOURS AGO

I also think my family didn't get all the thousands of Princess Bride references our friends were making, haha.

it's hard to be enjolras.

Whenever Hulu asks me which ad experience I prefer, I ALWAYS choose the car ones. Evidently I feel car ads are superior to all other ads?

Emily Owens, MD - The last season of Scrubs did this a thousand times better and it failed anyway. Instead of watching this show, go watch the last season of Scrubs.

Revolution - Repeatedly pointing out that the premise makes no sense doesn't help people suspend their disbelief. Giancarlo Esposito is excellent as Captain Neville, though, and that keeps me watching.

Falling Skies - (Okay, it's not new, but I watched the pilot this weekend.) "Aliens did it" is a much better explanation for massive electronic failure than, "uh, we don't know?" (take note, Revolution). Also, Dr. Carter! Child soldiers! Cinderella!

Nashville - Did not expect to like this, but loved the first two episodes. Connie Britton is awesome, as usual; Hayden Panettiere is entertaining; Powers Boothe is the perfect icing on this cake of awesome.

Arrow -  The fiance and I enjoy making dramatic sound effects as we are watching, because we feel the score is not as ~DRAMATIC~ as the show is.

Huh so I just watched the first episode of Suits, since the other week I decided I ship Donna/Harvey something hardcore while Fiance was watching, and since I've only seen snippets of episodes I need to catch up, and umm, there's this one scene where Donna is giving Harvey all the things he's forgotten, and he says "Marry me?" and she goes, "Took care of that too; we've been married for the last seven years." UM YES. I do so hope there is fic out there wherein this turns out to actually be true and hilarity ensues. I will search for it tomorrow.

The Dark Knight Rises - C - For the montage of hope at the end, Gary Oldman, and Anne Hathaway. Aside from that, felt like something I'd seen before.

Brave - C+ - Baby bear triplets ftw.

This Neville vid/song cracks me up:
