lonetread | The usual random catch-up post, more or less in chronological order. (Reply)

1. Place #1 I Will Never Pack Again: Walking the dog. Jesus H. Christ on a cracker. Usually the balls keep the whole thing in place, but apparently the key word there is "usually", which means "not while you're jogging to keep up with your stupid dog". D: Ffs, it was ridiculous. I was halfway down the sidewalk when I realized packing had been an incredibly bad idea, so there I am all furtive with my hand down my pants readjusting myself and welcome to manhood, right? Not so much. Cause we turn the next corner, and there's a bunch of people out, and by the time we turn the next corner, I'm making a contingency plan for what to do when it just straight-up falls out of my shorts onto the damn sidewalk. Then we're across the next street and two seconds later, my cock is almost down by my knee. >_< (Yeah, you're laughing, I'd like to see how funny you'd think it was if it were you.) Thank freaking God there was no one on the street. I just grabbed it out of my shorts and stuffed it back, lulz, and okay, it was pretty funny, but only because those guys who usually sit outside of this one house on that street weren't there. I would have died. Even so, it was an amazingly epic fail. Never. Again.

2. I was on the Royal Pains page on Hulu (missed a couple of minutes), and under "shows you might like", it listed a lot of things I like (Mental and BN, for two), and one I'd never heard of: The Listener. So I click it, find the summary, and am immediately hooked. I mean, sure, I've never had a show strain my suspension of disbelief quite this much (no matter how good Craig looks in that uniform, it would be a much more believable show if Toby were a detective instead of paramedic doing the detective's job), but it's entertaining.

2b. And over at

cdntvonthedl, someone's posted MegaVideo links of the entire first season (it's already aired in Australia, iirc, despite having been created and set in Canada, which is weird, but hey). Anyway, so I'm caught up on all of it that's aired here so far, as well as the one that airs Thursday (1x5), and dear sweet baby jesus but 1x5 is crazy good. I don't want to give it away, because it was an awesome twist, but seriously, watch it or catch it on Hulu. 10/9c on NBC, I believe. Incredible.

2c. CTV needs to do a Flashpoint/Listener crossover. I would all but kill to see that on TV. Also, I might just have to write a Listener/DZ crossover, if I can figure out a good plot. I mean, Maine is practically in Canada, and all those mindpowers in one fic? I think I might explode from glee at the idea of it. :D

3. Harper's Island! Oh my god, guys. I should have known 15.5 wouldn't really kick it, but man. (Btw, the certain other two deaths don't get numbers, because they're not that important, but I only did just figure out that 17 didn't really kill them. I don't think I really thought he did, but apparently I'm once again failing at comprehension. God only knows how I watch TV at all sometimes.) Also, I straight-up lol'd when 16 died. A three-year-old could have guessed she was screwed, lulz. 17's death scene, though, was really good. Better than some (*cough* 7's), anyway. And that ending! How do they always end it on cliffhangers that have me going "What? It's over already? Hells no!"? Sigh. I can has Saturday nao plz? (Oh, and interview with #13 [link text includes spoilers for ep 8].)

4. Finally, Zera's coming over tomorrow! We're gonna watch the complete Lost Room straight through and it's going to be glorious. (I can only hope my newfound addiction to Listener isn't going to inhibit my enjoyment.) Television is an amazing, wonderful thing, isn't it.

Oh, and btw, if you missed the answers to that character meme, those are up. It was a blast. :)
