All over the place...

I finished my Guilin, China jigsaw puzzle and I started working on the Richard Burns' one. Wow, the colors are so vibrant! *nerdy*

Last night, I discovered an amazing song. It's "Flutopia" by Flook. The song starts with a guitar melody, like nothing special. But then come the flutes and the guitar drops off and the drums start. And it goes on and on and on and faster and faster. In the end, you feel like the song vibrates through you! Oh wow, I need to get my hands on other stuff by Flook!

I started watching The Persuaders! from the beginning last night. This is the first time I see it in English. I'm so used to watching it in German - if you haven't seen Die Zwei (as it is called in Germany) in German, you missed an incredible experience! - so this is completely new for me. But Roger Moore and Tony Curtis rock in any language :D

If you love The Donald Strachey Mysteries and you love the movies, then go here to the nick_n_nora comm where one of the members posted an excerpt from Ron Oliver's, the movies director's, blog. My favorite part?

I am not so Pollyanna as to be unaware that I still live in a world where the sight of two men kissing elicits, at the best, nervous laughter -- and, at the worst, open hostility. But if the religious kooks out there get to believe in the sheer lunacy of virgin births, walking on water, and the resurrection of a zombie who is the son of The Giant Fairy In The Sky who controls the world all without even a shred of physical evidence, then I get to believe that love is love…no matter where you find it.

I think I'm a little bit in love with the director now! *giddy*

Psych, manga and mahjong

If I heard right while listening to the audio commentaries to Psych, one episode of this series doesn't cost more that 300 000 $! So basically, one season isn't more than 5 mil. USD. Wow, that's cheap! The whole Blood Ties show's budget was only 3 mil. USD while Supernatural's one season budget was 40+ mil. USD. Wow, that's a difference!

I love to listen to podbooks while playing mahjong on my computer! That's one of the most relaxing things I know...

I started reading Tohko Mizuno's "In a Distant Time". It's the manga version of the anime Haru Kanaru Toki no Naka de... that I was so obsessed with some time ago. So far, it's quite cute :)

All fannish

I started watching Stargate: Atlantis from the very beginning. I mean, I was so behind that it was quite useless to try and catch up. So, I decided to start watching from ep 1x01 again. Oh my, the beauty of Jack and Daniel bickering... *swoons*

---

The repeat of Supernatural last night brought in 2.04 mil. viewers in the fast nationals. Wow, that's like 200.000 more than the week before and only like 500.000 less than the new episodes of Reaper and Gossip Girl this week! Smallville's repeat brought in 2.81 mil. viewers.

---

I just don't get it. Why do have to fans of Reaper and Supernatural fight? I mean, I don't like Reaper but hey, whatever floats your boat, I say. You like it? That's perfectly fine with me. I bet that I like some shows that you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Different people, different tastes. I just don't get all the hostility *confused*

Fic rec!
Supernatural
GEN --> "familial relations" by sardonicsmiley. Warning: MPREG! Mpreg's this author's squick so she wrote a mpreg fic that didn't squick her out, that actually worked for her. And it's so sad and painful...

CWRPS
SLASH --> "26 Minutes" by alyson_rocks. Pairing: J2. The ride to the hospital takes exactly 26 minutes. Such a great feel!good story - I know, it sounds weird but go and read and see for yourself :)
