I am about several beers down and so I apologize for any missteps and misspellings because tht would be awkard.

Sadly, this all of the post that I made last night before I wandered off (I was waiting to use the bathroom and then it was free and then I forgot to come back here. Sad.) though I hadn't drunk tons, but enough for me. Younger Sister and Roommate had multiple people over and there was much throwing of ping pong balls into Solo cups.

This afternoon I went on a lovely walk (greatly enjoying the sunshine in SF today despite/because of the wind) and wandered around the "heart" of Noe Valley, aka 24th street. Lots of funky stores and nice to get two miles of exercise in an easy way.

In totally random exciting news, after some judicious Googling, I found an entertaining cooking class (good food and meeting people! what multi-tasking!), so on the 20th of March I will learn how to make handmade pasta, which is kind of hilarious and awesome. In a similar vein, I emailed Second Oldest Sister to see if she needed/wanted help/company/child-wrangling during my spring break, which means that there might be more delicious food-making (she runs a B&B) or at least food-eating, in my future :o)

Last night I made pizza (granted, with Pillsbury dough inna can) with mushrooms, so that will most likely be dinner.




Catching up on The Mentalist, my totally non-spoilery comment: I LOVE CHO TO PIECES. Even though we had never seen his girlfriend before and everyone acted like they knew her; that's always odd.

I am now current in Criminal Minds as well; David Rossi rocks my socks and also spoilers for 5.16 Mosley Lane ) In addition, Reid is looker handsomer by the day, seriously.

Now we are watching a recent episode of CSI: New York and oh, Flack, I missed you. Danny, you too. Lindsey, not so much. XD

It has been months since I've done this, but here: have the All Fic Edition of the Rec Triad.

Rec Triad June 2009

I've been catching up on The Mentalist, which is an adorably quirky show with fun characters about a mentalist who uses his crazy observational skills (and charming adorable sexiness personality) to help solve crime. If you watch the show, you will enjoy this fic immensely: Red Tables Turning. Don't be alarmed by its placement on fanfiction.net--although after reading this one I totally took a spin through some more and woah, at times it was painful, yet hilarious. But, the story linked above gives a great outside view of Patrick Jane and how he acts when our favorite guys from the BAU show up to talk about Red John. I was not expecting the crossover insanity, and it was fun. Only two chapters, but I'd love a long, meaty look at how they'd help finally (I mean, seriously, guys, on Criminal Minds they find serial killers all the time in approximately 40 minutes, you haven't done it in 23 episodes!)

In a different vein, apparently I not only enjoy believable and interesting AU ideas (whether this means "and Hotch and Rossi have been together since he divorced Haley, trufax" or "hey, the BAU is all in the circus!"*) I just read a bandom AU fic (shut up, don't judge me) where Professor Gerard falls for Frank his hot TA (these guys are all from My Chemical Romance, fyi) which was tons of fun and cute. So go read [livejournal.com profile] jezrana's "In Which Gerard Is a Quirky College Professor and Frank Is the Best TA Ever", parts 1, 2, and 3 (with more drabbles here).

This got me thinking about other Professor!AUs, which reminded me that I loved the Due South version where Fraser and Kowalski teach English Lit (Punk Academic); this love of professor/colleague/pretty much equal dynamic goes a long way towards explaining my own Elementary!verse stories.

But there has to be a story where John shows up as Rodney's crazy-haired TA who seems to have no background in the hard sciences but then busts out with some genius theory during TA hours (which Rodney monitors, just to make sure it wouldn't be a totaly disaster) and the way John's hands sketch the arcs of a mathematical curve makes Rodney's throat dry. Isn't there one? I have such a great mental image of this... help me out, guys!



*Not that there is a BAU-inna-circus!AU, but there definitely should be. Think of it: Reid wows as the Smartest Man in the World! Prentiss doing gymnastics atop a horse, or something! Morgan the Strong Man! Garcia as the awesome girl behind the scenes! Hotch as the hard-working and stressed owner of the circus and Rossi as the old co-owner that left years ago after a disastrous show but is back now for some "unfinished business"! I think this could work well...
