the whimper becomes a howl

[cornerofmadness]

and an OMG this fucking hurts. Nerve pain is well just painful. The nerve in my hand is just firing over and over making the muscles jump. I can barely hold on and it's like a throbbing toothache from thumb nail to the side of my face. I put the thumb in its brace so it's a bit better but still.

I just moved past a very apropos paragraph in the mystery I'm reading that really fits today. Don't be naive, Colin. No god and no religion - not Apollo, not Isis, not the god of the Christians - has ever turned politicians into decent human beings, or ever could . Merlin - The Lancelot Murders (which so far isn't as good as the first)

Yeah, election day, I only trotted out because there were a few statewide things I wanted to weigh in on and the fact that 911 might disappear in my area without a bit more tax money...


TV babble - I love Castle for many reasons even if it's cheesy but the real reason I love it is I actually believe him as a father. He is a really interesting and to my mind, positive father figure. Yes, Hollywood has done single dad stories a lot but they rarely do them well. Here, I think they've got it.

This morning getting ready I was watching V, the original V. Oh dear sweet mother how cheesy was this? How much did I love it? Duncan Regehr (the bad guy alien) walking around with his shirt opened to his navel to show off those pecs while everyone else is in a red skintight jumpsuit with big black diamonds pointing to their crotch in that look at me way. (and yes I loved Duncan in Wizards and Warriors , talk about cheesy!) Oh that 80's hair. I remember that hair. I HAD that hair and I thought it was so cool. Boy...i was wrong.

Speaking of V, i should have watched the premiere (the parents were not impressed) but I chose to go Hulu it sometime and watch my usual show. Speaking of which...

NCIS

This had to be one of the worst episodes ever. No one would ever let Gibbs investigate this case. But that wasn't the part that bothered me. Everyone was OOC. Abby was ham handed. Gibbs, Ducky and Tim looked asleep in their roles and what the hell was up with Tony?

This whole Ziva can't become a citizen riff was horrible. Why would he care? Why would he be so upset about this? I'm assuming that we don't want more dangerous foreigners here comment was meant to be about Ziva being a former assassin but this stank of anti-semitism.

For a long time now we've been getting Tony/Ziva moments and now he doesn't want her to have citizenship or did I misread something terrible? Anyhow this is an absolute stinker)


hmmm the hand is no just tingling like it's asleep. I'm going with this being best case scenario...

We watched the first half of V. Biggest problem is they introduced about 90 characters, none of whom have a personality at the moment.

I hope your hand starts doing better.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that was mom's take on it too.

thanks

I love Richard Castle as a dad. He may be the best TV father since Gomez Addams. :-)

On NCIS, I think they were trying to have Tony kid Zeva, but it was awkward.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

since Gomez...hahaha there's a comparison but I adore the Castle family dynamics a lot.

yeah I think it was kidding too but it didn't come off that way.It was completely unfunny and just uncomfortable

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, Gomez Addams....

*crushes*

I watched the first episode of the original V a few days ago, and the biggest thing that struck me was, indeed, the hair. Wow!

Hope your hand's feeling bettersoon.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

seriously the hair.

thanks. i have it in its brace and it's calming down

Hand problems are one of my worst fears -- all of my jobs and my main hobby depend on my keyboarding skills.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

tell me about it. there went my surgical career

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Ouch ... that's way more important than my writing career ....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was devestating

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I kept glancing over at the screen thinking there were a lot of weird moments on NCIS last night.

Completely forgot about V being on. *eyeroll*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was one of the worst I've ever seen

Mom says you didn't miss much

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*snerk*

Aren't you glad I wrote you Abby/Tim the other day?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha yes and now i've even read the WHOLE thing

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yay. :D

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Yeah I watched NCIS last night, and was furious over how bigoted and prejudiced Tony suddenly seemed to be. WTF!? They'd never in RL allow an agent to behave in such an atrocious manner!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

true and for that matter TONY would never act like that

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Wonder how they're going to explain *that* one!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ignore it entirely if we're lucky

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

I feel there is going to be a howl of outrage over his words, and the producers may have to scramble to fix it.

I haven't seen the new V cos I live in a Wasteland that has no decent tv, but I definitely remember the original. I loved it back then. And then I made the mistake of buying them on dvd about 2 years back. Oh dear. I vividly remember Marc Singer's jeans - those tight tight tight jeans that told me which way he dressed. I swear he poked my eye out one night right through the tv screen.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i almost choked to death laughing.

I don't know how he moved in those jeans
