Is it just me, or do the Mythbusters collections have no discernible order? I'm now on collection 3, and we keep losing the build team. :/ I mean, of all things, I *probably* don't have to watch Mythbusters in any kind of sequence. But it *bothers* me. Deep in my soul. (Also I miss Grant et all when they aren't there.)

Hello, internets! I have returned from the wilds of Washington, where I took shameless advantage of the delightful ![[livejournal.com profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) shoomlah's hospitality while visiting her and attending the Northwest Folklife Festival. There was lots of delicious food, good music, and also I got to meet Claire's new snake and hog her X-box. (I have now played Portal through about four times, once on her X-box and the rest on my PC. I will never get that peppy little radio tune out of my mind.) It was good times! Alas, Claire's internet was out so I was unable to keep up with the goings on of the world. If anything exciting has happened to you since last Wednesday (or just anything you feel like telling me about), let me know! I'll try to catch up on stuff, but I may miss things.

Okay, one, fuck you, ABC.com. Here is a hint: DO NOT SPOIL THE EPISODE THAT AIRED YESTERDAY on your "Watch Full Episodes" page! Fuuuuuck you.
( My god, it's full of spoilers! )
In other news, I am still working on people sketches, I swear!

Note for folks who have requested sketches- I am working on them! It will probably be a few days before I finish them all, and then I'll post another round up. It feels so good to draw again, I cannot even say.
In other news, I have been watching X-Files. The entire series (minus the movies) is on Netflix: Watch Instantly, and I have been consuming them like popcorn. I'd watched the show before, but only in fits and spurts and not in any particular order. It's... really quite good! I am enjoying it a lot. I am up to season 3 now. (I started watching last week, which shows you the rate I'm going through this stuff.) I am... sort of nervous about the eventual pregnancy storyline, because I have Issues with fictional pregnancy, and also because I've heard that things went kind of pear shaped toward the end there. Still! Right now it is full of rainbows and hearts and monsters and alien autopsies.
It's funny, because I think if I'd been watching when it first aired, I'd be a diehard noromo. That's kind of my default position on any show, actually- most romance plotlines leave me deeply annoyed for many reasons. But oh man, I am totally shipping it. I think because they're *not* setting it up (at least explicitly, at this point) as a romance, so the affection is because of who they are and not because one person (and let's face it; it's usually the woman, at least in this kind of show) is the Designated Love Interest. I just have a thing for people who are Devoted Partners! It seems to be my ultimate OTP-nip. (Huh. That might explain why I found myself having bizarre thoughts of Jules/Lassiter. Dear brain, whut?)
But I am just so fond of both of them, although especially Scully. *draws hearts around her little skeptic self*

Okay, and by 'tomorrow' I apparently meant 'several days from now'. WHATEVS. To compensate for my lateness, they have color! Here is the art what I drew for people:
For mizzmarvel, Aqualad, jellyfishing
For rubynye, Gaila and Kory
For petra, Don and Cosmo, backstage
For cmshaw, Kory, loud
For brownbetty, Sokka, pleased with himself
For ratcreature, Kirk meets a tapir

That was fun! Mmm. Drawings.

I fell behind in Leverage at the... show break thingummy, the one where Tara showed up. III had forgotten about the part where this show tends to hit my embarrassment squick sometimes.
( Totally hot. ... Warm? ...cold? )

| Female non-superhero vigilante types? |
[Apr. 15th, 2010|01:38 pm] |
So! I have decided to go with "They Fight Crime* (*except when they commit it)" as my ladiesbigbang theme (if anyone has a more elegant way to work the criminals into the name, let me know. It's kinda clunky as is.) I'm thinking of splitting it into 3 parts- Cops (official law enforcement), vigilantes, and criminals. I've got enough cops, I think. (Although. Could I shoehorn Suki, from Avatar: TLA, into the role of cop? Except they didn't seem to be really general law enforcement; more like soldiers, so I dunno.)
It would be really easy to fill in vigilantes with all superheros, but that seems uneven to me, so I'm trying to think of more non-comic book women who fight crime without being law enforcement types. So far I have, um, Jessica Fletcher and that's about it. People who have watched/read Ladies' No 1 Detective Agency- would Precious Ramotswe fit into this category? I haven't seen the series yet, but in the book that I've read it seemed like she did less 'crime' and more 'sorting out personal issues' which doesn't match the theme, but I only read the one, and it was a long time ago.
Actually, I probably need more non-comic criminals, too- I've got Parker and Sophie, Mr. Yang (from Psych) and mmmaybe Alex Barnes? (I would need to, you know. Actually watch that episode of The Sentinel. I've only got through half of s1.) I dunno, maybe that's enough- I need five of each, so two comic book villains isn't too lop-sided. Still, more couldn't hurt.
