Guys, I am currently reading The Terror by Dan Simmons and it is freaking me the fuck out. As well as freezing me to death.

It takes place in the Arctic, you see. During the voyage of the HMS Terror and the HMS Erebus, which disappeared into the Arctic on a futile, futile search for the Northwest Passage.

Probably none of you have been to the Royal Wax Museum in Victoria B.C., but I go every time I'm in Victoria, and the very last display is about this very thing -- all those futile missions, all those lost men who disappeared searching for a dream -- and so the entire time I'm reading this book (and I can't stop!) I keep thinking about that display, which you can see a bit of here (scroll down). That part of the museum freaks me out more than the torture chamber, because I don't think they actually drop the temperature, but it feels like it. And it creeps me out.

This book is doing the same damn thing.

In other news, K-Ville ) and CSI:Miami )

I'm really really traumatized by the fact that Homecoming is the same week that CBS premieres, oh, everything.

I mean, the Homecoming Dance is the same night as the Numb3rs premiere! Which has Colby! *weeps* It's my senior Homecoming, guys! Oh, I'm so conflicted.

...the internet has TV. The internet has TV. I just have to keep telling myself this.

In other news, you should all be watching K-Ville on Fox. This show is good, guys: slick, smart, and gritty, with characters on the edge just the way I like them.

Almost makes me want to write Bardverse Flack again, you know, once he's left the NYPD and gone south to New Orleans. (And then has to come back! To face Mac! Which goes really badly, as everyone should be able to predict. Oh, Bardverse.)

(Let's not even get into the fact that I'm really tempted to write Season X for the Danny Messer prompt "everything that dies someday comes back" over on the Character Development Challenge. I mean, come on, picture perfect. The only way it could get better would be writing Bardverse Mafia Danny coming back to the Crime Lab for whatever reason.)

(Dude, [livejournal.com profile] limmenel, I can hear you enabling me from Ottawa. NO, NO, AND NO.)
