Friday Night TV Recaplet

Sarah Connor Chronicles rocked my socks off! I'm in the habit of watching each episode twice before the next one airs (I was doing that with SPN, too, but I kind of lost some of my interest in the Winchesters), and I'm totally excited to watch it again before next week.

Dollhouse is another matter. If it weren't a Joss Whedon show, I would have stopped watching halfway through the episode, and even with it being a Joss show, it only gets another couple of episodes to convince me it's worth watching. There was an interesting comment on an io9 Dollhouse post where the commenter was proposing that Joss ought to do a show that doesn't really exist - there could be spoilers and reports of trouble on the set and controversy without there actually being a show - and so far Dollhouse might have been better like that.

Both shows, however, were made extra enjoyable by real-time emailing with norwich36. It's been a long time since I watched something with someone over the internet, and I'd forgotten how fun it is! It was also hilarious when we sent nearly simultaneous emails mentioning how much the Summer Glau-Eliza Dushku promos they kept showing suck. Seriously, they almost made me not want to watch either show.

22 Days of Music: Day 22

There are a few love songs I considered for the Valentine's Day edition of 22 Days of Music. I love Shakira's "No Creo" off of her MTV Unplugged album, even though I sometimes think the lyrics are a little iffy in terms of what I think a relationship should be. Then there's the Lynden David Hall version of "All You Need Is Love" from Love Actually, which is both beautiful and amazing and brings to mind the movie. (Fun fact: allegram and dedalvs played this version at their wedding but put the Beatles version on their wedding CD.) In the end, however, I had to go back to my first impulse: "I've Never Been In Love Before" from Guys and Dolls. This version is from the 1992 revival cast, so, yes, that is Peter Gallagher as Sky Masterson, which sometimes weirds me out and I get this image of Sandy Cohen embarrassing Seth and Ryan by singing this in the kitchen. Josie de Guzman sings the part of Sarah.

22 Days of Music: Wrap-Up Post

This was an interesting project for me. I thought it would be more of a challenge than it was. I had no problem coming up with 22 songs I like, and I enjoyed telling you stories about each song I was recommending. I also love doing an LJ post a day. I'm thinking about coming up with some kind of scheme to keep me on track with making a post a day.

The question I have is: how was this for you? Did you enjoy seeing what I like and what I had to say about it? Did you listen to any of it? Did you discover anything you liked?

I told you I was making a playlist of these 22 days on imeem. I suspect it doesn't work particularly well as a playlist since I was thinking in terms of individual songs and not in terms of putting them together, but here it is anyway in case you want to listen to all 22 days of songs at once.

Valentine's Day Wishes (Porn Included Free of Charge)

Some years I get it together to send Valentine's Day cards and/or presents, and some years I don't. This was a year I didn't, but I wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day anyway!

My morning walks are sometimes more productive and sometimes less. Today I was thinking about varying types of erotica, including run-on sentences, of which variety I think I've only seen two or three people write, and I'm not sure I can remember who they were. Anyway, the point is that I was writing my own run-on sentence erotica in my head. But it's Valentine's Day, and I didn't send anyone cards or presents, so why not share this with you?
