Things That Are Cool

1. The trailer for the Lee Pace film "The Fall". It looks gorgeous and it's playing with my favorite genre: the fairy tale as nightmare. I just read one review that likened it to "The Lady in the Water" and I may be the only person on the planet who would take that as a ringing endorsement. You think less of me now, don't you?

2. TV friendships. Booth/Bones, Bones/Angela, Donna/The Doctor, Leonard/Sheldon, Barney/Robin, Betty/Daniel, Sawyer/Hurley. I kind of want to squish them all.

3. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. For some reason I waited ages to read this book, now I can't put it down.

4. Daniel Faraday. The Lost gods may have taken away my sweet Charlie, but they gave me an adorable bumbling, time-travelling physicist to help the healing process along. And it's totally working.

5. Corner Gas. It's Canadian and completely charming and the only reason to watch WGN unless you happen to like watching grown men run around a diamond. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a staycation to get back to.

Things That Are Cool

1. Doctor Who Season Four starts in a mere two weeks. And that theatrical promo? Already has me squealing like the little fangirl I am.
2. That bootleg X-Files trailer floating around YouTube. July 25 needs to be here now. Tell me you didn't get chills when you heard that theme song. Oh Mulder and Scully it's been too long. Bonus: I've heard talk that a certain William will not go unmentioned. That gives me hope that my favorite FBI agents will go to Kansas and get their little alien baby back.
3. Chief, BSG. He's just barely edging out Helo as my favorite BSG boy. Oh Chief. That episode where he thinks he might be Cylon and accidentally beat the snot out of Callie may have broken my heart. And the one where he and Helo charge off to save Sharon? Yes. And when that one guy got shot while he was trying to protect him? He may be the most noble one of them all. And apparently he ends up with Callie. Please tell me that doesn't end tragically but from what I've seen of this show, nothing ever ends well.
4. Wired Magazine. It seems like it would be super techie but it actually has it's geek on.
5. "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan. Currently my favorite Dylan song. I'm a sucker for songs that tell stories. See also: "Outlaws" by Joe Purdy and "The Ballad of Billy Joe" by someone whose name I can't remember.
