So I've got writer's block. Seriously hardcore writer's block, it's so bad.

I've also got a shiny new TV in the bedroom, plus a DVR box, and since the bedroom is basically my domain, I've been spending a lot of time watching Criminal Minds. A LOT. I did not realize I liked crime shows, but Criminal Minds is on approximately fifty million times a day, and I've been taping all of them. I've formed an attachment to Reid, it's like he doesn't sleep or eat, he's all pale and elastic and there's these constant zombie circles around his eyes - I ask you, how is that attractive? And yet it is! I just want to bundle him up in blankets and feed him soup and pet his shiny hair.

I have also be reading Criminal Minds fic - and before you ask, no, I will not write it, I don't write in a lot of fandoms I read in - which has led to me reading NCIS fic, which has led me to watching NCIS the show, which I refuse to tape, because it's on just as much as Criminal Minds, and if my DVR is constantly taping, then I'm unable to watch anything else. I'm just going to wait until I catch up on CM, and then I'll start NCIS. I am obsessive about these things.

In other news, I thought my iPod was dead, but apparently I just let it run out of battery life? I don't know how that happened, I think maybe my charger wasn't plugged in right.

AND, here is your random trivia thingy of the day, week, month, however long I go again before posting, who knows -

Before she was Designing Women's Julia Sugarbaker, she was on Different Strokes, and had a ginger-haired TV son, Sam. Sam and Arnold got into all kinds of shenanigans, including getting kidnapped by a pedophile, talking to KITT and blowing up a movie set, meeting Mr. T. And around the same time, Sam appeared on an episode of Dukes of Hazzard, as a little kid who done lost his dog. Now, the fine folks over at Dukes of Hazzard apparently didn't think Sam's adorable southern twang was adorable enough so they DUBBED HIS VOICE with the person who did the voice for Cindy Lou Who in TV's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. It was strange and mystifying.

These are the things I remember. Along with Webster BURNING DOWN MA'AM AND GEORGE'S APARTMENT and the creepy talking ventriloquist dummy in ALF. The 80s were kind of fucked up.

Gotta cheese it, folks, talk to you later.

Welcome to the world of crime shows that eat your brain! I'm still not sure which fandom I like more, CM or NCIS (in terms of shows, I think CM is way better) but they are both very shiny.

A million times yes to criminal minds and spencer reid!! That show is pretty awesome with excellent characters. You should check out reid's actor twitter page (if you like that kind of thing). matthew grubler is as bizarre yet adorable as his fictional counterpart.

That said dvr is both the devil and heaven sent.

it's so fascinating!! I like how they deal with the psychology of it all. I can't stop watching it, the DVR will be my downfall :)

Criminal Minds is amazing and Dr. Spencer Reid (/Matthew Gray Gubler) is and always will be my absolute fave.

Oh MAN, Dixie Carter was one of my favorite, favorite actresses ever. I'm so sad that she passed. :/

(I used to watch Designing Women obsessively as a child.)

I love NCIS so hard, though I never managed to get into Criminal Minds. If you want NCIS without taking up DVR space, they put most recent episodes up on the CBS website. If you want to catch up and put all 7 seasons on your hard drive, I can send you some links.

I can't decide which one I like better, because NCIS has more comedy in it - plus mark harmon! - but then criminal minds has reid, who is SO ADORABLE, idek. I don't think I have time to watch both shows, though, I catch NCIS every once in a while, but I think if I tried to watch all the eps of both shows I wouldn't be doing anything else ever.

Criminal Minds may have Reid, but NCIS has Abby!

I love Reid! And I love the Garcia/Morgan relationship - the one where either would take a bullet for the other, but mainly they just want to pet them and feed them chicken soup. I think Reid's getting slowly brought into that particular troika, too, which makes me all squiggly inside!

I watched 5 hours of CM this morning, and I still have 22 eps on my DVR, and three more set to tape tonight. I have serious problems.

Reid is just so absolutely wonderful! I think it's funny that he kinda has the zombie eyes even when he's off-set, it's ridiculous and adorable. Matthew Gray Gubler has his own website with all these drawings of his, and when it's nearing Halloween he changes his name to Matthew Gray Ghoulbler, because he's amazing like that. When I found out about him and Vicky-T I was so excited, you don't even know.

Then there was this scene where he just got so angry, and just. Nom nom nom.

The best part about NCIS is the character interactions. They're all so amazing together.
