I have nothing witty to say here. Damn it.

[apocalypsos]

-- I'm almost glad the preview for the episode boils down to Canaan being a phenomenal dickweed, because I don't really like having phenomenal dickweedish sprung on me.

-- Oh, Meghan, honey, you did not just say that about the tans. *facepalm*

-- I have a feeling that watch clue is going to screw up someone.

-- I love that Matt dyed his hair again.

-- Yay for Meghan and Cheyne for getting it right off the bat!

-- "Maybe we'll be in a music video!" Oh, boys.

-- Oh, no! Wrong yacht club.

-- Oh, man, Gary, really?

-- Those challenges sound so hard.

-- "It's not traditional rowing, but I'm here." Hee!

-- Aw, Flight Time. Yes, you should have done this one.

-- If that's Meghan freaking out, I'll take it. It's still way calmer than pretty much everyone ever.

-- BWHAHAHAHAHAHA! Big Easy in that boat! Sheesh, even I know how to use oars. :D

-- Aw, come on, Globetrotters. *wince*

-- "We stay here long enough, Lance and Keri might show up." HA!

-- "Does a Muslim clock work different?" Oh, for fuck's sake. *headsmack*

-- Oh, my God, these challenges are ridiculous.

-- "We used to call it something else." Did Gary just admit to taking bong hits? Because, HA! Awesome.

-- Yay, Meghan and Cheyne!

-- I wanna do the water slide! I wanna do the water slide! (I say that now. I'd probably freak up there like Mika, although it being enclosed on top might calm me some.)

-- The colors don't matter, Erica? Come on, you know better.

-- I know the whole alliance thing was kind of stupid last week, but it worked out well this week, so I can't really complain.

-- Meghan and Cheyne are so PRETTY. *ogles*

-- Oh, my God, Phil's hat.

-- "I wish I were naked right now." But that's not why Canaan's with you, Mika.

-- Wait, are Maria and Tiffany in their underwear? 'Cause those don't look like bikinis.

-- I'm maybe liking that alliance a little too much. It's starting to become adorable. And it's making me like them all a bit more.

-- Brian's got the right idea. Make her go first, then go. Hell, if I went on the race with my brother and we had to do this, I'd make him stay there until I went.

-- I love Gary and Matt so damn much!

-- SWIMMIES?!

-- Canaan, wrong tone of voice. GOOD. I hope she does makes you lose the fucking race, you creep.

-- What the fuck is WRONG with him?!

-- I wish I could be angry or annoyed at her right now, but I feel her pain and she's obviously terrified.

-- Yeah, you really don't need basketball players behind you when you're scared and can't handle trash talking. What Flight Time and Big Easy did wasn't cool, but at the same time they didn't see the preceding however-long she was freaking out so I'm not sure they know how long she was that upset or how truly upset she was.

-- Shut up, Canaan, you threatened to throw her down that slide more than once. Asshat.

Next week: Erica cries, but the Globetrotters dance, and if that doesn't make her smile again nothing will.

Hey, guys, guess what we'll be doing at this time next week? Angsting over NaNo, that's what. \o/

Currently, I'm debating working on Gilded for NaNo or working on something else. Gilded is going to require so much work on the details that I really want to focus on them a lot. And NaNo is, well, NaNo. It's more about quantity than quality and Gilded may not be that story.

That said, I've been thinking lately about writing a m/m romance novel, and also something silly and comedic. So basically, what I've done for the SPN Big Bangs, but an original story. Something just completely cracky and funny with slutty characters and bad language and plenty of ridiculousness. So, like, my slashy thesis. :)

I don't know. We'll see how I feel come Saturday night.

Speaking of writing, I haven't touched Heroine Addiction yet today, really, but I'm going to hit the next chapter right now.

Oh, and I still haven't watched White Collar. But I will! I meant to when it reran this morning, but I missed it, and it's not rerunning again until tomorrow night. And I have to write tonight and tomorrow anyway. I'll get to it, witch's honor.

He not only threatened but he tried shoving her down that slide at least twice - once badly enough that she was crying for help. Granted, I as someone without a fear of water and heights, get that it must've been frustrating as hell for Canaan but dude - NOT COOL. It's like people who blame their racist comments on "I was drunk at the time." It's not bringing out anything that wasn't already in there.

Which doesn't mean that the trash talking wasn't rude. But - it's trash talking. They're ball players. And as you say, they didn't know how long she'd been freaking.

So it all really boils down to SHUT UP CANAAN.

OH MY GOD WHY AM I READING THE TWOP BOARDS?!

It seems to mostly boil down to "She was being ridiculous and I would have shoved her."

I finally just said, "And when Jonathan shoved Victoria, she DID stumble somewhat forward. Progress!" and closed the tab. UGH. I really don't think staying on a reality show negates the impact of a man manhandling a struggling woman against her will.

Never read the comments. Never EVER read the comments.

...not that I myself remember this all of the time.

And yeah - frustrating, annoying, esp when you see no problem going down the slide yourself. But that doesn't mean SHOVING HER is ever okay.

I know this, too... and yet I'm going to read the comments now. *wince*

C'mon! You got to have loved the group hug! And the boys a la Baywatch? Wonderful TV bit.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I do, I do! They're starting to get so CUTE, the lot of them. :)

I was just looking at Maria's Twitter feed and not only is she still in touch with Sam and Zev, she wished them a happy birthday recently, too!
