Just stuff

redhedlvr2I've been watching Dexter. I'm a very sick pup for sure and quite possibly going straight to That Special Hell (for other reasons), but I really like it. Its just so dark and rather sarcastic at times. And he should be taking his shirt off more often IMHO. I might have to actually buy the series. Ugh, need more room on the dvd shelves.
I've also been watching NCIS. I bought the first season a few years ago along with one of the CSI series which I didn't like. Wound up giving that one away to a friend at work but never got around to doing anything with NCIS. Then a few weeks ago, I dusted it off and thought, I should either watch this and give it a chance or get rid of it as well. Oh man, what I'd been missing. I've even watched the current episodes airing, that's how much I like it. Except this past week when Rudolph bumped it back an hour. Damn Christmas specials.
Have to say at this point that I don't care much for Director Jen. She just has that deer in the headlights look to me no matter what lines are coming out of her mouth. Not strong enough to play with Gibbs and I can't see her as any kind of an operative, let alone the director for the agency. I'm also finding myself drawn to Gibbs/Abby as far as fic goes. Which is really strange considering my decidedly slashy tendencies.
As for That Special Hell...I'm really, really going there. I've crossed over one of the last lines I swore I'd never even get near. I've read a few Charlie/Don fics from the Numb3rs fandom and have liked them. Alot. Print out on paper alot, which probably says more for the authors since I tend to find a few I like and read everything they produce. And I've given thought to why this paring over the Winchester. Must be they are somewhat older, in their 30's as opposed to the Winchesters still in their 20's which is the age of my kids right now. I'm a sicky, just shoot me.
Finally, on the knitting front, nothing I have made for Christmas for anyone has turned out right. Everything is too small. This isn't too much of an issue for the grandbabies since there will be a smaller one in the ranks who can wear it eventually. The main issue is what the hell was I thinking when I cast on in the first place? In my own defense, maybe I just didn't want anyone growing up too fast and therefore knit to my own frozen-in-time happy memory size. Ugh, no Christmas sweaters from Nanna. WTF!

Date: 2007-12-06 12:48 pm (UTC)I really like NCIS, it's one of the few things on TV these days that doesn't irk me. I gave up on CSI a long time a go, but NCIS is not too bad at all. Plus, I've been a David McCallum fan since I saw him in Colditz way back in my dim and distant childhood. I though his floppy blonde hair was so cute!
Dexter is just starting over here, but on cable not free-to-air, and I refuse to pay a huge amount of money for the two or three channels that I'd want to watch on a regular basis and the 30+ that I have no interest in. I'll just have to wait for the DVDs I guess.
*sigh*

Date: 2007-12-06 01:31 pm (UTC)I'm watching Dexter through Netflix.com. I can't/won't pay for anything other than my cable either. Its just too expensive. This explains why I'm always behind about a season or so with some of the shows I like. Not only that, but I can't stand the commercials either. One interesting thing I noticed about Dexter, the episodes are running about 50+ minutes as compared to "network" shows like NCIS which run about 40. What the heck are they doing with the other 20 minutes of our shows' time? Yes, I realize I need a life if I'm complaining about that. Oh well, I wouldn't be me otherwise, right?
