the proper post I alluded to earlier
a) There was a great deal of TV-watching this week. Most of it was delayed, as Aaron was on a business trip, and I've managed to con him into watching House, Criminal Minds, Castle, Supernatural, and The Big C with me.
Of all the season premieres, I have to say that Castle's is the only one that didn't profoundly disappoint.
Um. Yeah.
b) I'm still trying to see if I can get a refund for the Austin STP/BRMC show. *sigh* Like I told people in the email chain, The Backyard refuses to refund money for a rescheduled show, and they force purchasers to give a ticket-holder's name to match to ID, so I don't know if I can sell them. I sent them an email, but got a form "thanks for your inquiry" reply. If I can't sell them, I guess I'll sell the Bush tickets for that same night, since they're plain old TM tickets. In either case, I am not ever giving The Backyard my money again. (As an aside, I am not even slightly surprised that STP had to delay the tour. They were an hour late coming on stage last week, and Scott Weiland was clearly altered, a train wreck waiting to happen.)
c) Ludo and Tommy & The High Pilots were awesome. I'm sorry that my body decided to hate me yesterday so that I couldn't drive to Austin to see them a second time. But Tommy et al. will be back in December, so.
d) Even though I know I cannot go, I have priced tickets to NYC for the weekend, just so that I could see Billie Joe Armstrong as St. Jimmy. This is so so SO wrong.
e) I posted fic! Five moments in the birth and maturation of a "thing". (Sorry, it's community-locked. I'll post it at my fic journal or here shortly and link to it again.) Generation Kill, Mike Wynn/OFC, adult, ~2600 words. Mike is a leg man, okay?

- If House, M.D. turns into a show about House & Cuddy's relationship the way ER turned into a soap opera instead of focusing on the cases, I will be very sad. And stop watching.
- I have no idea what Sera Gamble was thinking, and I haven't rewatched Exile on Main St (love the Stones ref, thanks) and I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but srsly, WTF? EVERYTHING about that episode was wrong, except for the fact that as usual, the female characters end up being less than strong. I had such hopes for Lisa.
- There was a fuckton of filler in the Criminal Minds episode, and I was once again annoyed by the way JJ's mom-ness was used to put her in a role for which she is not qualified. I like her generally as a character and I'm upset with CBS's casting decisions, but seriously. Go look at her in S1, when she didn't carry a gun or go into the field and said she wasn't trained to do such, and compare what the writers have had her do over the last few years. Also, Morgan just annoyed me. This is not the first time an unsub has bested him, or the first case with a child, so I'm not clear why he was such an asshat unless it was supposed to be a result of his concussion. In any case, I'm not impressed.
- Hi, Idris Elba, hi. ILU, and I'm really glad you're working with Laura Linney. Moar of that, pls.
Um. Yeah.
