Can You Hear Me Major Tom
Sep. 22nd, 2011 09:27 pmThree Things (The Pie-Making Thursday Edition)
1. Yay, fall TV season has started. Hawaii 5-0 continues to have plots that are too stupid to even bother paying attention to, but that's fine because following the plot would distract me from gazing lovingly at Daniel Dae Kim's exquisite cheekbones. He was so pretty in this episode! And Kono was so ass-kickingly awesome, and Steve and Danny were so totally gay for each other. I approve strongly of all of these things. And of the general existence of Max the Adorable Dorky ME. Meanwhile, NCIS has realized that the main reason I watch this show is for delicious Tony!angst and whumpage, and has provided accordingly. Good job, show.
2. Fun with role-playing group this week! We spent the whole session making character sheets - I don't know if they are all like this or Eclipse Phase is just unusually complicated, but damn. I need to re-do mine this weekend, since I'm pretty sure I screwed up the math on all my character stats. But I like my character! I'm playing a woman who ran away from life in an ultra bioconservative cult in the outer planets to become a cynical gun-slinging mercenary. Her hobbies are gambling, not trusting people, and bouncy hypercorps pop music. Anyway, it seems like we've got an interesting range of characters, so I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out once we start actually playing.
3. It is David Bowie Week at Casa de Midget. I don't know why it's David Bowie week, but it is. So much glitter! And somehow, even though it's glitzy 70s glam rock, so many songs that make me cry. I cannot stop listening to this cover of Space Oddity, or this one of Ashes to Ashes. And I just discovered Bring Me The Disco King, which is amazing.
