let's forget the fact that you're coming a little late to the party
Erm...hi? Look, we all know I'm the worst when it comes to lj, so let's just not say anything more about it.
How are all of you??? I hope the year is treating you well. I hope the spring is treating you well, if you've got allergies. Tell me all your stories! Personally, I've just started a new job (finally! Post-grad school years were not fun), and am so in over my head that I keep expecting to be fired. So, fun times, which I've apparently decided to solve with fic, which will be discussed in a minute.
So, it's May, which means it's the end of the regular TV season, and I...am dragging myself, bloody and bruised, across the finish line. We all do that every year, but for some reason this season felt especially hard to complete. Maybe because I lost and/or gave up on so many shows? Between long-running shows with storytelling too terrible to continue watching (Bones, Castle, General Hospital AGAIN), shows I had/have to force myself to finish (The Voice, Once Upon a Time, Criminal Minds, White Collar), and shows that I enjoyed but were cancelled (Chuck, Alcatraz, Pan Am, One Life to Live), this season has been rough.
But! Some shows have been awesome! Fringe and Grey's Anatomy captured my interest again this season, while Scandal is easily my favorite of the year. No, seriously, I have THOUGHTS about Lincoln Lee and Mellie Grant, and those thoughts are accompanied by seal claps and squeaking noises. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Shonda Rhimes might be my favorite showrunner of the season. I'm going to enjoy THAT while it lasts, because we all know it won't last.
In other news, empressearwig finally convinced me to mainline watch Young Justice a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with season 1 just in time for season 2 to start. So for the record, I didn't start watching YJ until LONG after s2 had already been in production; the...changes are IN NO WAY MY FAULT, no matter what E says about my curse. So now I have all sorts of feelings about the s1 characters and stories, and a bunch of very different feelings about the s2 characters and stories. Well, story, since apparently we've just got the one. Greg Weisman, what are you doing? I've trusted you for almost two decades!
Nevertheless, YJ gives me FEELINGS, and we can all blame E for what inevitably happens when awesome shows give me feelings. I'm pretty much out of things to say at the moment, so I'm just gonna leave you with a couple of fic links. Later!
PS: anybody know where I can find some YJ icons?
