inmyriadbitsGood news! You guys remember how the airline lost my luggage (containing 90% of my belongings) when I flew up here at the beginning of September? Well, they found them again, three months and a detour to Rio de Janeiro later. They should be delivered tonight! I plan to buy champagne and invite some friends over and then bitch out the fucking claims agents until they pay me the money I already spent on replacing shit they told me they lost.
On a more fannish note, I finally finished The West Wing. After the election, I got all nostalgic about the show and picked it up again from mid-S4; I finished a couple of days before Thanksgiving. The Josh/Donna made me really really happy, Santos is eerily enough like Obama that I suspect the campaign managers of being Sorkin fans and stealing his ideas, and I find myself oddly craving trainwreck Kate Harper/Will Bailey fic.
For the record, I still tear up at the credit sequence. All the years of exposure to the theme and being surrounded by cynical New Yorkers? Have made not a bit of difference. God, this show. *tears up a bit*
I moved on after TWW, and oh my god, you guys. The Middleman is the BEST THING EVER. I just finished all the episodes -- which took longer than usual, considering how often I had to pause and laugh my ass off and/or ogle Matt Keeslar and/or Natalie Morales. Mostly MK, to be honest (which, considering I have a pretty darn healthy crush on NM, should tell you something). I can't figure out why, but he seriously hits some buttons for me. He's got the Fraser thing, and the snark thing, and the earnest thing, the forearms-inna-white-dress-shirt thing, and the looks-really-great-naked thing, plus a thing about kicking in doors that is new to me but is insanely hot. Even his alter-ego was doing it for me (the fact that he looked bizarrely like the guy from this past summer, sans eyepatch but complete with tattoos and motorcycle and really great ass). Rrrowr.
I don't even know where to start with the love, but if you've never heard of The Middleman before, let me point you to 101 Reasons to Love The Middleman. I can add a couple of my own, too:
102) I'm pretty sure that in addition to the Indiana Jones, Highlander, Star Wars, Dune, Ghostbusters, James Bond, Die Hard, etc. references, they just threw in a Colbert Report reference. WORD, writers. Rock out with your bad selves.
103) "My Little Pony!" As an exclamation. Among others. SO MUCH LOVE.
The show is clever and hilarious and creative and LOADS of fun and has great female characters, and I will seriously cry if it doesn't come back again.
You should all go watch it like, right now.
The plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity. :D
