Have now officially watched every episode of Prison Break. I downloaded "Brother's Keeper" and "J-Cat" for my mom to watch as she hasn't seen them before. I re-watched the T-Bag scenes in "Brother's Keeper" and I have an opinion that kind of contradicts the opinions of other T-Bag fans Cutting for long winded explanation and quotes )

I'll probably watch "Brothers Keeper" all the way through again and at least watch the T-Bag scenes in "J-Cat" cause the panties thing was hilarious.

I also have now watched every episode of Criminal Intent. Speaking of which, all three L&O's got renewed! I know My Name is Earl and Prison Break have been picked up for another season. Don't know about House or Without a Trace but they probably will be. And I don't really care about CSI NY anymore. I don't know what it is but I'm just like so over the CSIs. I don't like the original anymore, I never liked Miami and I find myself less and less interested in watching NY. I love Stella, and I like Flack but I don't know if those two are enough to keep me watching. *shrug*
In all my fandoms I have one character who I adore above all others. Sometimes I don't even know why it is I adore them so much, I just do.

Oz-Ryan
Prison Break-T-Bag
Without a Trace-Danny
House-Foreman
SVU-Casey
Criminal Intent-Eames
CSI NY-Stella
Harry Potter-Hermione

As far as fanfic goes I don't have OTPs so much as I have OTCs (one true character), the character I will read paired up with almost anyone. It's usually the character I consider my favorite but for some it's different. Like in SVU it would be Munch or Cassidy; HP would be Snape. And it usually has to be a slash pairing. I really don't like het at all.

To all you people who ask us slashers "Why do you have to make everybody gay?" I say "Why do you have to make everybody straight?"

The Beecher/Keller shippers really get me. I myself am a fan of those two on the show but I am realistic. I see the relationship for what it is; completely and utterly fucked up and destructive. Those people who complain that they didn't have a happy ending are delusional. I saw someone say they wanted the show to end with those two getting out of prison, moving in together and raising Beecher's kids. UM WTF?! Those two aren't going to set up a house with a white picket fence and be normal. One of them would end up killing the other. Keller is a psychopath, sorry but it's true. He loved Beecher in his own way, but that is far from a healthy, normal way. And you may be saying "But you ship Ryan/Gloria." True, but only within the confines of the prison. I have no delusions that Ryan and Gloria could get married and go skipping through the daisies together. I want them to stay as they are: Ryan behind bars obsessing over her, her obsessing over him and hating herself for it, and no big happy ever after ending. This is Oz people, wake up and smell the coffee.

Getting down off my soapbox now.

I don't see what the big deal is about Wentworth Miller. I don't thinks he's that good looking. It's just like with Christopher Meloni, everybody in the Oz/SVU fandom creams themselves over him and I just don't see it. *shrug* I guess I'm just different. Maybe with Wentworth Miller it's all the "brooding intensity". I've never really seen the appeal of brooding intensity though, I mean would it hurt you to crack a smile every once in a while?

I saw this special on the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco yesterday and now I really want to get a book on that. I have very limited funds so I have to be very choosy when it comes to how I spend it. I'm probably going to buy this book about the San Francisco earthquake and this book on the Attica Prison riot but I also want to buy this Paw print necklace or this Love me, love my cat necklace. I will probably buy the books though because the books will entertain me. I'll choose entertainment over fashion any day!

*Only 18 1/2 hours left till Margaret Cho!!!

After re-watching "Uncivilized" (Cassidy!) again I decided to check out a site on registered sex offenders (I don't think that they were suggesting you do that considering what it made those kids do. But what was the moral? Give sex offenders the benefit of the doubt? Somehow I don't think that was it.) Anyway there's like 16 sex offenders in my town! That's a little scary. One of them is listed as living in a house we used to live in! Dude there's a sex offender in my old house! There seems to be a lot of child molesters, one rapist, and a couple guys who were charged with "vicarious sexual gratification". What the fuck is that?

This whole thing reminds me of the episode of Oz where they were talking about how sex offenders had to register on TV and that one guy Coushaine was having a fit over it and after he walked away Hill and Wangler looked at each other and said "Sex offender."

Um I also wanted to mention that Betty Buckley, who played Ryan O'Reily's mom, was on "Without a Trace" tonight!
"Can't Cry These Tears" - Garbage

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

Can't find it in the bible
Can't find it on t.v.
Can't find it in diamonds
There's something inside me
That just went allow me to
Find it in music
Can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate
Oh babe I can't hide it
I can't even find it in you

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

There's no way she can kiss you
The way that I do
I heard that you miss me
Oh you should be careful of who you keep talking to
Long nights without you have taught me to be strong
I've cut all my losses
Think no more about it cause I couldn't find it in you

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

There was a time I thought I'd die
If you should ever leave me high and dry
Now you don't want me anymore
It's time to settle the score

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my tether
I've torn all your letters up
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my rope
And it's time that I've told you so
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

It's time to settle the score


Think I'm gonna go watch woobie Cassidy in "Disrobed" and then maybe "Hellraiser: Hellseeker". Dean Winters double feature, yay!

I got approved a little while back to do Cassidy for [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100. I'm posting my table with links to the 6 fics I've already got written.

My Big Damn Table )

I have no idea if I'll actually even write anymore stories because I know I suck which tends to dampen my enthusiasm for the whole writing process. I'd like to write a Cassidy/Danny Taylor story but I just can't seem to get myself motivated enough to even start thinking up a plot. And good lord but I sound whiny and self-pitying don't I? Sorry about that I just haven't gotten a lot of good feedback, or any, and it frustrates me. I suppose I could just throw in the towel and tell them I don't want it but I might write more and I don't think anybody is waiting to claim Cassidy (he's kind of forgotten in the fandom being as he was only in 13 episodes). And I've rambled enough, so shutting up now.

I need some fanfic to read. Can anybody rec me some of the following pairings: Foreman/House, Eames/Barek, Ryan/Murphy, Ryan/Beecher, Munch/Fin or Munch/Cassidy. I've probably read everything there is out there of those pairings but you never know I may have missed something. If anyone writes a new fic with them they will get a big ol' sloppy kiss from me! ;)

I need some help with my Ryan O'Reily death count! In the episode "A Cock and Balls Story" do I count the deaths that the french guy (can't remember his name) caused? I know Ryan's actions helped lead to the shooting but I am unclear whether or not it was Ryan's intentions to cause those deaths. I only count the deaths Ryan sets out to commit (thus my not counting Khan or Cyril). He was helping Adebisi but it seemed like maybe he didn't know what the plan was. But then again I have trouble believing that Ryan would help if he didn't know the plan. But I also can't see why Ryan would want to go along with Adebisi's plan. Help me please!

Watched another Prison Break tonight. I seem to have taken a liking to T-Bag. I'm weird like that. I still hate that I haven't seen any of the first 15 episodes. I was trying to download torrents of them but on my computer it would take like 30 hours to download one episode and I don't have that kind of time. Stupid slow ass dial-up connection. I wish there was another way to see them.

OMG somebody claimed Munch/Casey on fanfic100. Why, why would you pair those two together? It makes no sense!

Somebody claimed Schillinger for Oz. Eew those have to be disturbing! Don't get me wrong I actually kind of like Vern, even though he is pure evil, but I don't want to get into his head. Except I went ahead and read the one fic they wrote which was about Vern and bitch Beecher and it wasn't that bad actually

This news makes me very happy:
Bush, GOP Approval Ratings Find New Lows

Just 36 percent of the public approves of Bush's job performance, his lowest-ever rating in AP-Ipsos polling. By contrast, the president's job approval rating was 47 percent among likely voters just before Election Day 2004 and a whopping 64 percent among registered voters in October 2002.

As bad as Bush's numbers may be, Congress' are worse.

Just 30 percent of the public approves of the GOP-led Congress' job performance, and Republicans seem to be shouldering the blame.

"These numbers are scary. We've lost every advantage we've ever had," GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio said. "The good news is Democrats don't have much of a plan. The bad news is they may not need one."

By a 49-33 margin, the public favors Democrats over Republicans when asked which party should control Congress.

Bush's approval rating is down 12 points among Republicans since a year ago. Six-in-10 Republicans said they disapproved of the GOP-led Congress.



The Elliot/Olivia shippers are all jumping up and down over this week's episode. I so don't see the chemistry with those two. Maybe I just don't want to. I definetly see it between Munch and Fin but not so much with angsty (Olivia) and angstier (Elliot). But thankfully we are going to get a bit of a reprieve from E/O as Mariska goes on maternity leave for six episodes!


BTW this week's House kicked so much ass! There was a lot of House/Wilson and House/Foreman scenes in it, very little Cameron, and Foreman got to take the spotlight as far as the Ducklings went. I love Foreman so that was nice. My favorite part was the white board/black marker thing (so funny)!

[livejournal.com profile] alazysod posted about visiting the Parents Television Council website and I just had to check it out for myself.

I can understand not wanting your children to see certain shows but when you get up on your high horse and talk about shows being disgusting and immoral that pisses me off!

What the Parent Television Council has to say about the shows I watch )

If the site was just about saying "Hey there's a show we think you might not want your kids to watch" that would be fine. But they have all these petitions and shit about censoring TV and taking indecent programming of the air. Look if you don't want to watch it, fine. If you don't want your kids to watch it, stop them. Don't try to get every show you don't like thrown off the air!
During "House" tonight they showed a commercial for Wilson's Roofing. I was like Wilson has a roofing company too?! And then they showed a medicare commercial with Rita Moreno, a.k.a Sister Peter Marie from "Oz"!

Also "SVU" was actually good tonight! OMG Can you believe it?! Cutting for spoilers )

Been feeling depressed lately so I'm trying to do some little things to cheer me up.

Thus picspam of my TV significant others:
You look so fine )

Also my DVD collection
I <3 my DVDs )
Icon meme:

1) Go to my icons.

2) Pick out your very favorite one.

3) Right click on it, go to "properties" and copy the location of the image link.

4) Post the image link in a comment using the <*img src="IMAGEURL"> code (without the * and replacing "IMAGEURL" with the image link location).


Song meme )

[livejournal.com profile] visionofblue and [livejournal.com profile] colin_chaotic I added you both to my Yahoo! Messenger friends list using the Yahoo! ID's you had in your userinfo. I don't know if either of you actually uses Yahoo! Messenger but you're my favorite people on LJ and I wanted to add you.

I want to go see "V for Vendetta". (Also "Thank You For Smoking" but they don't have that one here.)

I thought up a funny idea for fanfic: couples counseling for the partners on my favorite shows. Like Munch and Fin, Lennie and Ed, Goren and Eames (hoo boy would they have some issues to discuss!), Danny and Martin (not technically partners but who cares), etc. Cause when you think about it partners are almost like married couples.

I rented "Good Night, and Good Luck" and "Traffic" (Enrique is in it) today. I also ordered the Margaret Cho collection, Margaret Cho's "Assassin" DVD and pre-ordered Sarah Waters new book "The Night Watch". I mention this cause I know you all want to hear about every little thing I do. *L*

I do have some info that other people on my flist might be interested in:
Starting on March 26th Lee Tergesen is supposed to start appearing on "Desperate Housewives". Read about it here.
Also Season 2 of "Rescue Me" will be out on May 9th.

You know what incredibly weird cross-over pairing just came to me: Danny Taylor from Without a Trace and Ryan O'Reily from Oz. They both have that cocky swagger and ability to charm the pants off anyone they please. Those two would be very interesting together, not to mention H.O.T! Danny and Brian Cassidy would be good too. Cassidy is a little like Martin but not completely boring like Martin is, so that's a plus.

This whole thing is brought on by my noticing how hot Enrique Murciano is. Why must I keep developing these boycrushes?

And now I am going to see if I can write some Danny/Cassidy.

There is a seller on eBay that sells novelty badges for TV characters here. They have Law & Order and CSI. I should not be tempted to buy these and my reason for not doing that shouldn't be because they don't have Barek and I would want a whole set of my favorite cop and lawyer ladies. I so do not want to buy badges for Stella, Eames, Barek and Casey. That would just be crazy.
WOO HOO! SVU was Casey-centric!!! This episode was taken from the same news story that Criminal Intent's big two hour episode was and I think one of the kids in that episode was in this one too. But with all that Casey to love, I'm certainly not complaining.

Ooh tomorrow night is a new episode of CSI NY, which means I get to see my Stella again!
OMG I have the most awesome desktop image ever!!!

Check it out )

I just read the review for "Conviction" in the new Entertainment Weekly and I just have to share this excerpt:

The Law & Order vibe is onmipresent, what with SVU's Stephanie March reprising her role as attorney Alexandra Cabot. Seeing that cookie-cutter character spun off is like realizing Final Destination 3 is in theaters: There was a demand for something this average?


That makes me so very happy being a Casey fan who cannot understand why people are so crazed for Cabot.
