White Collar continues to reward my sometimes inexplicable enthusiasm!

Don't you love it when you are watching a tv show and with fifteen minutes left in the hour, you already know that regardless of what happens next, this has already been the BEST EPISODE EVAR ( Read more... )

I have a recurring dream about taking down a nuclear power plant owned by the nazis, with bow and arrows. ah, dreams. I find them truly delectable for the most part! Do you enjoy yours?

Also: smiling is contagious! TRUFAX.

I totally enjoy my dreams! Even the bad dreams tend to be funny to me as soon as I wake up (though there have certainly been exceptions!)

Lately I've had some more serious dreams, too, which, I think, betray some lingering anxieties about my body. Like, I had one where I looked in the mirror, and my reflection was of an old woman who also clearly wasn't even me. At first I thought: Egad, I must be terrified of growing old! But upon further reflection, I think the dream was really about the fear that there might be a way my body could change so that I would no longer be able to accept it. Like, my brain is taunting me: you're okay with your body now - and on principle, no less - but what happens to your principles if your body changes so that you don't even recognize it any more?

I'm not sure quite what's up with those resistance movie dreams, though. Mainly because we never seem to be *resisting* anything! But I've been having dreams where I'm a member of a resistance movement since I was, like, thirteen!

P.S. Is your icon 'Grug'? I read lillipilli's blog sometimes, and recently she posted a picture in which she is wearing a Grug (I think that's his name?) t-shirt, and I thought it looked like your icon.

I share your love of White Collar! It is a most wonderful show. Like you, I am relieved they aren't dragging the conflict between Neal and Peter out forever. A delightfully entertaining episode. :)

Also looking forward to Burn Notice. Sometime last season I watched an episode to understand a fan fiction crossover. Now I'm addicted. lol

Yay! More White Collar friends! I am trying to infect everybody with my love of this show. So much fun - and often heart-warmage - week after week!

I haven't gotten to see the latest Burn Notice yet, because my cable has been acting up something awful. (It better be fixed before Tuesday, dangit!) But I'm excited to Hulu it later today!

That was SUCH a good episode!! Though I did wonder why he couldn't just take a few extra breathing tubes. And I am not quite as impressed with the coworkers' development as you... but it's a partner show, not a team show, which I'm okay with.

Oh Neal Caffrey. You can even rock a sweater.

I know this is, like, majorly blasphemous, but when Peter told the flashback story of what happened with him and Kate I... I'm ashamed to even say it... I didn't 100% believe him. It just seemed a little too perfectly calculated to make Neal see Peter as the good guy and Kate as shifty, you know? Plus something about the hazy way the flashback was filmed and the stilted lines. Yet I don't want to distrust Peter...

Also, I saw I preview this weekend for a movie with Kate in it playing a teenager. Which speaks to my previously stated objections that she looks RATHER TOO YOUNG!

Before, I felt it was a blatant flaw of the show that they had these characters who were always around but never did anything much at all. Now they seem heading for sort of Esposito/Whatshisname type roles, and that's still not much to speak of, but it's better than nothing. (I'd like it even better if they gradually gave them lives of their own, or at least suggested they have more going on than just orbiting around Peter and Neal. Perhaps in time ( ... )

On a completely different note, I waited to mention my very favorite things until after you'd seen it ( ... )
