A Message to the Writers

As I've been crazy busy (holidays, friends, work) I got incredibly behind on my TV shows, perhaps especially Hawaii 5-0 as I was three episodes behind. 

Having now caught up on NCIS LA and watched the missing school bus of children episode of Hawaii 5-0, I have a few things to say:

Dear TV Powers that Be,

1) Thigh Holster Porn.

I will forgive that ridiculous look at the end of that show between Lori and Steve (the same look passed between Steve and Kono the last time children were kidnapped and rescued) if you continue to provide me with such wonderful, beautiful men in thigh holsters. I can forgive almost anything for thigh holster action like that.

2) Neither the new Governor nor Lori actually have a personality, and I really don't think I can blame the actors. It seems they have actually been written with no personality. 

For shame! This should really be addressed. 

3) It may-hap this is wishful thinking, but I'm getting a teeny tiny inkling that just perhaps Kensi's dad is somehow connected to Shelbourne. 

Now, I have no idea how the writers, directors, producers, etc would even begin to agree to a plot line interweaving two shows more than a few characters passing through every now and again. I know that I have very much enjoyed the times Warehouse 13 and Eureka have crossed over ("Don't Hate the Player" is one of my all time favorite Warehouse 13 eps though I still don't know why Myka ended up looking like a Dominatrix).

As a fan of both NCIS LA and H50, I think there's a lot of potential for fun there. Plus, anyone who isn't watching the other might get interested if you weaved them a bit more than Kensi doing some lip reading in a scene 90 seconds long as a favor to Joe for Steve. 

Come on people, you've already said Steve owe's Sam a steak dinner, let's see it! (Wouldn't THAT be a fun one for the fandoms... but that's another story.)

In conclusion, I have no life except the ones you provide me. Please make them good. (I'm kidding. Kinda.)

Reading List 2012

As I've done the "Read 50 Books in a Year" goal already (and reached it more than once), I want to do something a little different.

This year I'd like to read the alphabet.

I attempted to do this last year, but then around March I completely forgot that I had the goal and didn't remember again until around mid-October. Therefore, I have decided to try again this year.

I have decided that I am allowed to be a little lenient with "X", "Z", "U" and "Q"  as long as I don't count any novel twice. If I read something the book "The Ex-Games", I may count it towards X or E but not both. I'd say I hope that makes sense, but they're my rules for me so I don't suppose they have to make much sense to anyone else.

I will keep the list updated (I hope) as the year and hopefully my reading progresses. I am not likely to pick the books out much in advance, but suggestions are welcome, especially for tougher letters like x, z, q, u.

I'm not requiring myself to read new books. As long as I do read the book, it's fine if I've already read it. I say this probably because there's a series I'm considering revisiting.
