I have an hour to eat a sandwich before I participate in another planning meeting. Since SGA isn't on, I thought I would check out this Ghost Hunters marathon.

Is this like the most boring, pointless show ever? Since I sat down here's what keeps happening:

Guy: Spirits, if you want us to know you're here, we need you to just make a noise, move a bench, let us know you're here.
*Two guys and Amanda Tapping stand around awkwardly for a while*
Guy2: So, Amanda, you do a lot of interesting projects, tell us about that.

Have I just hit on the Geraldo Rivera opens Al Capone's tomb episode or what?

ETA: Terrifying update! They have just discovered...a centipede! I AM SO SCARED RIGHT NOW.

...about the serious (and awesome!) work I have been doing for the Obama campaign.

( Instead, this post is about tonight's Project Runway )

I’ve been really craving “culture clash” romantic comedies. I’m pretty sure this started because I’ve been rewatching The West Wing (siriaeve’s fault) and I was reminded of a Josh/Donna fic I read years ago where Josh, the East Coast Jew, meets Donna’s Midwestern WASP family, and amusing awkwardness and eventual romance ensue. (This is, incidentally, the story of my mother’s family—my Grandpa G. was even from Connecticut and my Grandma C. from Wisconsin!) Anyway, I can’t find this fic anywhere. Does anyone:

1) Know what the heck I might be talking about?
2) Have any other recs for culture clash rom coms—be they books, fic, films, or anything else? (Just don’t say Meet the Parents.)

Second, I used to nobly set aside a Large and Intimidating Classic to read in the summer months of July and August; this is how I tackled Ulysses and War and Peace. I want to start doing this again, but I can’t decide what book I should read. Can I beg your thoughts? (I’d make a poll but I just realized you can’t without a paid account. Pooh.)

Trin should read:

1) Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
2) Swann’s Way by Marcel Proust
3) Middlemarch by George Eliot
4) Something else that I’ll suggest in the comments
5) The very idea of this project is incredibly pretentious and I think Trin should just read fanfic and more of akukorax’s Star Trek novels

Thanks, as always, for your suggestions!

Even though I stopped watching, like, two years ago and have no real desire to catch up, having recently been subjected to near-constant previews, I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what the fuck is happening on Lost.

1. Boys, boys, boys. If you don't want me to slash you (and honestly, it was not my intent) then you really need to stop eyefucking. By which I mean: never, ever stop eyefucking. Never.

2. The latest episode? The scene at the curry restaurant? And, like, basically the whole ep? So. Much. Love.

3. Only one more episode? Man. They're cruel, these short little British seasons.

4. Hunt is totally hot. Sometimes I disgust myself, but mostly I just really weird myself out.

Psst! Downloads on uk_telly. Hopefully still.
