rachg82I don't think I've mentioned this here yet, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dosidella recently linked me to this site, which allows you to play old-school games like Dr. Mario & Donkey Kong online legally for free (no downloading required). I figured more than a few of you would be interested. So!
In other news:
-Rizzoli & Isles continues to be the gayest thing to ever happen to me. I'm saying. Gayer than my on-again, off-again WTFship with Amy. Gayer than RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo. Gayer than Ms. Jay teaching you how to smize. Gayer than all six seasons of The L Word, including that time Dana took a hit of acid and danced around on stage with Tegan & Sara.
Like, I can't even talk about this show in a concise, linear fashion. All I can do is say that I watch most of it wanting to slap myself in the face with flaily hands, because I cannot believe it's a real thing happening in front of my eyeballs.
It's just…HOW IS THIS A STRAIGHT SHOW?
Okay, y'know what? From here on out, I'm just gonna assume they're writing the subtext intentionally and are ninja-style punking the audience. Sometime soon, they're gonna pan to Maura & Jane naked in bed together or something (all *roll credits!*), and it's gonna just be like, "HA, THEY'VE BEEN BANGING ALL ALONG. GOTCHA!"
For real, even the author of the original book series gets it now:
Also? LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT THEIR FACES:
JUST GO HAVE SEX ALREADY, FFS.
(P.S. Thanks goes to afterellen.com for the screencaps)
And did I mention that Maura told Jane she loves her? Did I mention that she gave Jane the same bottle of wine that Jane's bad!brother tried to give HER? i.e. The same brother who tried to kiss her & was subsequently denied? And then was also tossed into jail because the show totes wanted to metaphorically teach him a lesson?
Did I mention the jealousy? And the angst? And the making up? And the cute Maura faces? And the sad Jane faces? And the mutual admiration society that IS Maura & Jane together?
No?
Well, I'll just mention it now. BECAUSE. SERIOUSLY. This show. I need it in my life always.
-I don't have anything to say about Psych, Community, or Parks & Rec this week except to give all-around gold stars.
-Revenge is the crackiest shit that ever cracked.
-I'm still watching Castle, and I enjoyed it this week, though it made me wrack my brain trying to remember the name of the XF fic I read way back when which started out basically the same way. Oh, interwebz.

I only have a handful of comments this week:
1. I would've been more satisfied by Booth giving himself a free pass to be ridiculous if that conversation had gone down a little bit more like this:
Booth: Yeah, so, y'know how I'm being an asshat? Can we just pretend it's cute? Because I'm not sure I know how to stop.
Bones: I suppose. But…I'm also not sure I know how to not drop-kick you in the nuts if you even think of touching my food or lying to me ever again. Can we pretend that's cute too?
Booth: Hmm. Touche. Your center of gravity is kinda off right now though. You'd probably miss.
Bones: Shut up, Booth.
2. That baby is cute. It'd be nice to have a plotline involving Hodgins and/or Angela again though that doesn't primarily revolve around their offspring.
3. I could've done without all the "loony bin" and "shrink" comments. It's not really that funny, show.
4. They really need to get more creative with the teasers & start taking the cases more seriously again. The promo for the next new ep after the hiatus looked promising, so hopefully we can take a break from the hokeyness again soon.
5. Emily was super pretty this week.
That's all I really have to say. I feel kinda meh over the show right now, honestly. And I don't like that or want it to be that way.
-I was thinking it'd be fun to do a poll here asking people to choose which three eps they'd use to introduce a newb to the fandom(s) of their choice, but then it was like -- um, I don't know what shows you'd pick or how much room you'd need for your answers. And then of course I could pick the shows, which is what I'm about to do, but creating a real, actual poll for that kind of dealio sounds like a lot of work. And see my mood icon? Right.
So, instead, here's a list of shows (I'm limiting myself to ten). You can share your answers in the comments (and feel free to add new fandoms of your own):
-Bones
-X Files
-Battlestar Galactica
-Buffy
-Angel
-Gilmore Girls
-My So-Called Life
-Community
-Parks & Rec
-Psych
I'll share my choices in my next entry, obviously.
In RL news:
-I made home-made GF mac & cheese tonight, and it was pretty dang good. If you'd handed it to me without telling me it was GF, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
-Similarly, the GF rigatoni I had with B earlier this week tasted great as well. This is a big hoo-ray thing for me, because up until now I hadn't been able to find any good rice-based noodles, and it was very tragic.
-Aside from the cooking, I've been super lacking in motivation this week. One of those ~I don't want to do anything, say anything, move my body, or think~ situations. Where it's all you can do to get your dishes done, drag yourself to the store, etc. Like, writing this entry is an accomplishment. I missed my appointment with my psych today (though I'm still seeing my counselor tomorrow), spent a lot of time in bed for no reason, took forever to do anything or go anywhere, and yeah. I just feel stressed, I guess. And it's adding to the depression, so that sucks. I think I'm nervous about talking to my sister as well, especially after I reread the email she sent me (from when our uncle died) while I was working on my Year in Review post this week. It's like -- how much could she have changed in five or six months? And what caused her to change? How do I know she doesn't still feel that way underneath it all? How do I know it's not LIKELY she'll say that kind of stuff to me again soon? I'm going to talk to my counselor about it tomorrow, but in the meantime it's weighing on me.
And I think that's it. For my Vid of the Day, here's a lighthearted one by TaraGel:
