random tv/book catch-up

1. The Secret History of Moscow - I'm enjoying this, but taking my time, as I feel as though I'll be left with nothing else to read if I finish it.

2. Nextwave: Agents of HATE volume 2: I Kick Your Face HOLY GOD WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE? ahem. ok, so it's not that earth-shattering, but it is still terribly hilarious. And wrong at times. It also has a mental soundtrack composed of Venture Bros/Cowboy Bebop tunes. (I might also ship Elsa/Tabitha/Monica in a quasi-we-don't-do-relationships way

3. La Femme Nikita. I'm really hoping this show stops being uninteresting and, um, pointless soon. Also, I'm not sure I can suffer Nikita's horrible bangs for much longer. (I managed the pilot and the second episode, but the third episode was eye-rollingly meh and I stopped in the middle) It would help, I expect, if I liked any of the characters.

4. Defying Gravity. I was holding off until I had all of the discs. Smart move, on my part. I've ripped through nine episodes so far. I really, really like it. Women! They talk to each other and have impact on the plot! I love the shifting back and forth between training and the missions, and even some of the set design. And I'm such a sucker for team-bonding and silliness, and this pretty much hits all of those kinks at well. also, the femslash, it writes itself

5. Pretty Little Liars. You know, I keep seeing people complaining about how Glee treated the lesbian sub-plot, and here's PLL quietly meandering on with its own lesbians (bi-racial lesbians, one of whom could easily be bi as well) and no one's watching it. I find that hilarious, but unsurprising. Emily's family is painful, but well-written. If only Ezra would get hit by a bus. (this show fills me with such gleeeee. =D)

*surfaces*

1. Chase is moving to Wednesdays?

2. Primeval season four (Jess, yay. Matt, yawn. Harrison Chase, yawn. Becker, replaced with a pod-person for .3. Philip, hot. Others, yay.) I should have a longer post, at some point.

3. Been reading some of the regencies I brought back from my parents. Sadly, they're rather lackluster. I mean, one has my favorite kink of "Heroine points a gun at Hero" and I am failing to be interested in them at all. It's possible that it's just too bland and stupid (omg, she's so sweet and innocent. omg, he's a dandy.... yaawwwwwwwwwn). I'm regretting not leaving them behind.

4. Porn Battle 11 starts taking prompts next week. (holy god, 11.)

5. Found my copy of Gimme a Kiss at my parents', though. OMG. Such nostalgia. Also, it's a short book, and the cop guy is sort of creepy. Jane Retton, though. <3

6. Pretty Little Liars. Did not disappoint last week (OMG). Still hoping for Spencer cross-dressing a lot.

7. Tried to watch Armitage III Poly-Matrix on Netflix's recommendation. Meh. If I want a futuristic anime about a cranky, giant of a cop investigating wackiness involving synthetic humans and/or robots, I'll watch Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. Again.

8. I have, I think, managed to watch all of the Poirot available on dvd. SIGH. There was surprise!Mary Tamm in one episode.

9. I am going to try to keep a list of all of the books I read this year. I'm not sure I'll count things like re-reading the last section of, say, Mercedes Lackey's By The Sword, though. (I'd re-read Oathbreakers, so it was sort of inevitable. Now to resist the urge for Winds of Change Fate [if only the Elspeth bits as the Darkwind ones are boring])

10. Scorpius is riding the sparkly reindeer.
