• 00:42:44: I am slightly disappointed in the drop in comic prices. It means no more "Nomad" to follow "Captain America." It was SO GOOD.
  
• 02:58:40: Trying out L&O: LA on hulu. Seeing as it's the reason my beloved L&O got shitcanned, it's got big shoes to fill.
  
• 03:02:10: 15 seconds in: Dear L&O: LA. You are L&O. You do NOT have untz-untz music as your theme. EVER.
  
• 03:05:57: Credit where it's due: L&O: LA maintains the brand's reputation for putting exposition in natural places.
  
• 03:06:08: Also, the untz-untz wasn't the theme, it turns out. But STILL.
  
• 03:15:32: 10 minutes in and I don't hate it. The lighting is all funky, though. Do I blame the pilot or the fact that it's not shot like original L&O?
  
• 03:22:36: At the 13 minute mark. Do these boys have a lietuenant? A captain? Or do they work from their garage like Encyclopedia Brown?
  
• 03:28:56: Hey, Bald Detective whose name I don't yet know: "It's LA. Everyone." Is only a line you can get away with if you're Lennie.
  
• 03:29:12: (cont.) I knew Lennie. I watched Lennie. You, sir, are no Lennie.
  
• 03:40:32: Dear L&O LA: Please don't say "Hummers." You are not that hip.
  
• 03:55:05: The actual L&O: LA credits' music (played at the end of the pilot) is pretty good. A nice remix.
  
• 03:59:06: So, apparently L&O: LA's thing is to lead in with music I don't like rather than, say, have a freaking theme.
  
• 04:08:53: Um, L&O: LA, if you're gonna do a Manson Family rip-off, don't mention the Manson family, okay?
  
• 04:24:28: Okay, L&O: LA, I will admit minor bias because of hulu. The synopsis it gave was lame. The actual twist is solid.
  
• 04:27:54: HI TERRENCE HOWARD. First Alfred Molina, then you. Is the D.A.'s office just gonna rotate actors I like? That'd be kind of cool.
  
• 04:29:53: I swear L&O: LA just named a character Abner Featherstone. Oh, L&O: LA, you just won 5 points.
  
• 04:30:51: OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. Abner is SPOT ON. Seriously.
  
• 04:34:43: Peter Coyote, you're staring to look like James Spader. This is a compliment (and you were good looking before, as well.)
  
• 04:36:54: "That doesn't sound like good law to me." / "It's not. It's good politics." -- All right, L&O: LA, you've won me over.
  
• 04:40:39: Now THERE'S the twist I was waiting for. Good job, L&O LA
  
• 04:45:16: Oh, Terrence Howard, you channeled Jack. That is AWESOME.
  
• 04:55:05: I think I like Skeet and Teri as a couple. There's a good vibe.
  
• 04:55:53: For the latecomers: I watched the first two episodes of L&O: LA. Final verdict: I'll keep watching, if only to figure out the DA trick.
  
• 05:00:33: WAIT A FUCKING SECOND. L&O got canned for bad rating, and NBC put L&O: LA in the WENSDAY 9 TIMESLOT? Not on, you fuckers. NOT ON.
  
• 05:17:05: Further thoughts on NBC being pricks, re: L&O Original: http://bit.ly/cW6O96
  
• 23:38:02: I actually wrote on a long story last night! Yay!

Random Fannish Thoughts

--The A-Team fic has decided it shall be written now. Usually, I can work on two or three different stories at the same time, but my brain's kind of scrambled figuring out what time is for school and what time is for non-school, so I've only got enough concentration for one long fic. The A-Team fic won, I think, because while there will be slightly angsty elements, it's still gonna be pretty light-hearted. I mean, hell, I'm writing Amy and Murdock in a room together. Which means accents and affectations and general silliness.

--Also, that A-Team fic is based on the show, not the movie, because I am old school, bitches.

--The Husband and I are watching a lot of "American Dad" because it's all on instant queue, and I can only take about four hours of "24" on in the background at a time. I have realized that, a) the show is pretty solid and b) it will never be great. It's not the best show ever, but it's funny, and it doesn't fall into all the truly awful traps "Family Guy" uses all the freakin' time.

--That being said, we've also been watching old "Family Guy" episodes, and it's fascinating to watch the first and second seasons then skip to season 4. You know season 4, when the wheels flew off the fucking cart? Yeah. It's painful.

--The Husband is watching "24" in about 4-episode chunks. Last night, we sat on the couch, and I watched a documentary while he powered three episodes, and today he watched four episodes. I'm keeping up through watching with him occasionally and just asking what's happened, but I don't know how he powers through like that. I get riled up.

--That being said, all the watching let me have an AWESOME dream where I was dating Chloe, and we were basically reenacting the first episode from season 5 where she has to run from bad guys. Why, yes, brain, I'll take awesome self-insert in my dreams.

--As will probably surprise no one, The Husband found this dream hot.


And how's you, flist? Tomorrow, I do homework, but tonight, I'm hanging loose.
