Read my lj flist and got some ideas to post on, also checked out Facebook.
Facebook - sigh. My cousin is facebook fighting with her husband. This is mostly banter. And they are doing it in two separate rooms in the same house - proof that the internet has managed to a)eliminate all semblance of privacy, and b) isolate people in weird ways. This is not that bad. At least they aren't discussing their sex life - which my other cousins bantered about on Facebook for three days - which basically took over mine and everyone else in our family's Facebook page. Can we say Too Much Information? Yes, we can. Also, as my Aunt stated, I now know what the color purple tastes like (ewww!).
Okayyy... A fireman just knocked on my door to ask if my carbon dioxide indicator was going off. It's not. And if I have one? I do. Apparently the guy downstairs, in the second apartment's carbon dioxide indicator was going off and the firemen were clearing his apartment. After the first guy checked, the second one showed up and asked if someone had already checked. I told him yes, and asked if he wanted to? Also, is it an unwritten rule that NYC Firemen are incredibly good looking? I have yet to meet one who isn't. Well unless they are on Rescue Me.
And damn - this may mean I don't get hot water tomorrow or tonight for showers - because they think it could be a leak in the hot water heater or a leak in the stove and it appears to be isolated to the second floor and first floor apartments. At least it's hot, not cold outside.
The Jet-Blue Flight Attendant is facing charges in NYC and will most likely face imprisonment for his actions. I sort of feel sorry for him. People are difficult to deal with. This weekend a customer was imitating and making fun of the Chinese Laundress - just because the poor woman yelled at her. The woman yells at every one, she has a tough and thankless job. I wanted to slap the customer upside the head, but after a week of fighting with folks wanted to avoid all conflict. (ie. Just wasn't worth the fuss and bother.)
True Blood posts are amusing me. Flist is currently obsessed with True Blood and Moffat's Sherlock Holmes. I swear Sherlock Holmes has got to be the most overdone detective trope ever.
Also is just me - or are there one too many cop/detective shows on tv? There's literally two or three on every channel. They've beat the vampire shows and reality shows in the market saturation department. At any rate - what interests me about True Blood - is Ball is apparently following the books a lot closer than I thought he would.Debbie Pelt and Alicide and the Werepanthers all appear in the third book (I think it is the third book - Club Dead, I read them out of order and then shuffled them off on an unsuspecting friend because I got fed up with them finally. Sookie got on my nerves. She makes Harmony look bright by comparison. Basically imagine an entire series about Harmony Kendell with psychic powers and a brother who is just like her. ) I could do without revisiting the Debbie Pelt/Alicide storyline. Didn't like reading it (actually I didn't read it - I scanned it or jumped over it), can't imagine I'll like watching it. (I only read enough of it - to figure out the Eric/King Russell and Sookie/Bill storyline. Can't say I care about the Sookie storyline. Sookie as a character bores me. But I sort of find Eric interesting. Bill - feels a bit too cliche, I've watched too many patronizing, guilty vampires, they are getting old.). The plus side of Ball's take on the books - is Tara is more interesting, Lafayette actually has a storyline, Jason is not an asshole - he's just a bimbo (in the books he's an asshole), and Sam has a storyline that does not revolve around Sookie. Ball actually makes Sam, Jason and Tara protagonists along with Sookie. We spend equal time in their pov's. That said? I have no idea how Ball is handling the Alicide storyline - I haven't seen the episodes - I don't get HBO. (Although am seriously debating getting it for the George RR Martin mini-series. I don't like True Blood well enough to fork over the bucks. I'm more than willing to wait for it to appear on DVD - much cheaper. And no, watching it on my computer is not an option. Holmes on the other hand - would really like to see, but will just have to wait and see if it makes it to BBC America. Oh regarding Being Human? They cast Mark Pellingrigo from Lost and Supernatural in it. I've no idea who he is playing. I'm guessing the werewolf? Odd choice either way.)
