offbalanceSome time back, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quasisonic acquired and brought home one of these. We tried it once, and the tea didn't come out that well. But I was off today, and wanting to get stuff done around the house, so I figured I'd give it another shot.
So I made myself some very strong tea. Very, very strong tea. As in, 7 hours later and I'm still shaking tea. ::twitch:: Oy. Next time I think that maybe the caffeine thing wasn't that big of a deal, and maybe I can tolerate it just fine now, I'll remember today.
Let's see. In addition to attempting to clean my apartment in preparation forzyll's state visit this weekend, I watched lots and lots of glorious teevee.
I got to see the first episode of Big Shots featuring Paul Blackthorne today. I don't know how many of your (if any of you) are watching this show, but it's pretty much what Entourage would be like if the characters had brains and real jobs. (So, naturally, I like it much better.) It's fantastic. The Dude Who is In Every Sorkin Thing Ever plays the Nebbish, Christopher Titus is the whipped smartass (and who gets most of the best lines), Michael Vartan is the Emo Woobie (he and Jared need to have a contest, I swear), and Dylan McDermott is the Manwhore who is still in love with one of his ex-wives. Paul Blackthorne (of my dearly departed Dresden Files) plays their nemesis.
He gets to be evil and British and wear a lot of suits. Now, don't get me wrong, I loved Harry Dresden in all of his slackerdom, but British Millionaire? ::wibble::
Manwhore's ex-wife: Look, my date will be here soon...
Manwhore: Oh, who is it? The cool single dad? Not the geek with the fanny pack from town!
HOTASS: No, it's the British guy with the Aston Martin and the lousy timing.
Me: ::DEAD::
He *had* to drive an Aston Martin. It is hot, not cliche. Shut UP, it IS.
Now, don't get me wrong. I like the Manwhore's character and his wife, and I love their dynamic and how they know it'd never work if they were still married or really together in any way. But, Blackthorne in expensive suit + accent = Sharon Catnip.
Thursday is really Hot Men night. On Ugly Betty, there's Henry and Daniel. As for Supernatural, duh. And now, Big Shots.
I'm also really loving Moonlight the lead is very Pretty in Pink-era Andrew McCarthy, and I'm enjoying Vampire Logan (because that's who Josef is, really. Logan as a vampire. Doring has such range *eyeroll*). It's an Angel retread with Charlaine Harris's vampire mythology, but hey, it's fun. (Which is more than I can say for Grey's Anatomy lately. WTF.) And, my second-biggest moment of fangirl squee came this week when I saw that the second episode was written by David Greenwalt. Which is why I know that his use of "Hungry like the wolf" in a 80s-era fangbanger flashback scene was intentional. Right? Right!!
Now I'm just trying to feel level and normal again. I'm STILL jittery. This is nuts.
