i am mentally divergent

While I get all of the stuff sorted out with Fringe, I thought I would go ahead and review Pretty Handsome, the newest show from the guys behind Nip/Tuck, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

( Very long review. LOTS of spoilers )

Tomorrow, Leverage, a new show with Angel alum, Christian Kane.

Review of True Blood : Review of The Middleman : Review of Book of Daniel

With more time on my hands and a whole bunch of screeners for new shows on my computer, I thought I would start watching and reviewing them. Up first though, is a new show, already on a network and available for free to watch online. The Middleman.

( The Middleman: Comedy/Action with GOOD writing )

Tomorrow, True Blood, the new series by Alan Ball.

HAPPY LATE T-DAY TO EVERYONE WHO CELEBRATES IT.

I am heading to LA for the weekend for business and a whole lot of pleasure with my bestest V. A sickness update, still hella sick, still on a ton of meds, had the fluid drained from my lungs last week. That was super fun. (NO PITY/SYMPATHY/ETC! I mean it!) But hey, at least it is an excuse to stay in bed all day and watch tv. So that is why I have been absent from your lives and your computer screens. Send me bad!fic and crack!fic cause it makes me feel better (Or C/A, CC/DB, Fuffy porn makes me feel REALLY better. *winks*) (And yes, that means my LA trip will be a lot of sleeping, a lot of sleeping on the beach, a lot of sleeping in my hotel, a lot of sleeping in the car. LOL)

However, doing my modly duties for still_grrr, leobrat posted this meme that I totally wanted to steal and I will (cause CI isn't on for another hour and I am all packed, MP3 player loaded (Double thanks to Sarah for the rec of the player and for steering me towards you know where) ). I altered the meme just a smidge cause it was too hard to narrow down to 10 with ALL fictional chars out there (hard to find clips for literary ones too).

For those that were wondering, I was one of the 2% of Americans that did not have turkey or tofurkey today. I made lasagna. LOL We had our Thanksgiving on Monday due to family scheduling.

I know I have a couple Friday Night Lights fans on my list. I just came across this over on freestuff. I didn't do much checking into it but it seems fairly legit.

Earlier this week, V and I were talking and he asked me if I had seen the short lived NBC show Book of Daniel. When I said I hadn’t, well, I thought the bitch was going to pop his head clean off. Keep in mind; this is the guy who recommended Rome to me. I got how many of you just on my f-list addicted? Not to mention people in my real life.

( Review, somewhat spoilery )

PS To those that haven’t seen Rome, go get it. Now. LOL (And I am also going to start watching FNL this week so might expect a review from me.)

How does Kelly spend her Memorial Day weekend? Why, watching opera (Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Rossini's Barber of Seville. I can't think in English anymore LOL) while sewing tiny little sequins onto a gown and feeling guilty for slacking on the recs. I have been really lacking.

Mostly because after I read everything on still_grrr I just don't have time for much else. But I did nominate a buttload of stuff for SOTHA (http://community.livejournal.com/sothawards/) so guess what, I am using that as my rec list for the month of May. I am still not done but there is plenty here to get people started.

If I didn't nominate you for something, please don't get butthurt. It could be that 1. I haven't gotten to it yet or 2. I nominated you for other things in the past and want to give someone else a chance.

Because last week was my crunch week in terms of work and I had to go out of town, I am combining two weeks into one big old rec list.

So, the recs are a little...sparse this week. Why? Cause it is crazy time for me workwise and LJ was being like a total POS this week. Pages weren't loading, etc. But there are still plenty of good short fics that are really worth checking out. Plus some art.

I apologize in advance for the lack of recs this week. I am going to keep up with this but as you will note from my little "Kelly News" blurbs, I came down with this monster flu. That is what I get for hanging around sarcaphogi delivered to my house from Wolfram and Hart!
