This and that.

1) Since I have reason to suspect that angels in showers are relevant to the interests of many of you, you may want to go read cristalia's The Parable of the Shower.

The angel of the LORD cometh upon you in the shower at the worst possible moment: one hand placed upon thy right buttock and the other bearing soap, radio blaring, humming a heathen song of sin.

Fear not! he proclaimeth from the vicinity of the shampoo caddy, and the soap falleth from thy hand.

2) Last night I actually got to watch The Mentalist when it was actually on television, for the very first time!

Oh my GOD that episode was just FUN. Which I kind of needed last night. Jane putting a tiara on Lisbon's head! Jane being all smirky at Rigsby and Van Pelt! Jane working the crowd and scaring the crap out of Lisbon! JANE AND LISBON POSING AS MARRIED ZOMG. "I love you!" ♥

Jane and the diamond! Cho is not surprised! Jane being Creepy McCreeperson with the voice modulator! Possibly the team's most elaborate con on suspects yet! (Oh my GOD they are all drinking the Kool-Aid and it is DELICIOUS.) Lisbon is exasperated!

AND THEN JANE--I think basically Jane just proposed to Rigsby and Van Pelt that they should marry each other. Right? Because he ships them even harder than I do. (I am still trying to decide how I feel about Van Pelt being the one who's emotionally closed off from Rigsby and yet the one who wants to be able to have a public relationship--unless pushing Rigsby on that point was on some level simply an attempt to sabotage the relationship. Hmmm.)

(Someday maybe I will write the fic about how Jane feels he has masterminded this entire relationship and finds it Good.)

(As soon as I finish making up for last night's fun times and Jane-smiles by mentally plotting fic where Jane completely loses his mentalism abilities and winds up, you know, sleeping on Lisbon's couch, learning to cook for her, and having a lot of sex with her and/or everyone else on the team. What no I did not just reread Theft of Assets, Destruction of Property, what are you talking about?)


3) So hey, Criminal Minds on Wednesday.

Okay so TEAM ILU, yes. And OH HOTCH and OH JACK, for certain.

But here is my real reaction to this episode: ROSSI, MAKE UP YOUR GOD DAMNED MIND.

I mean, granted everything changed when Haley died; still, Rossi has spent the season not-very-subtly urging Hotch to leave the Bureau and tweaking Morgan about his leadership position, and now he's all HAHA! You're coming back, I knew it all along!

Rossi, ilu, man, but this season you are seeming like the weird stepdad who just plays people off each other for his own entertainment. Don't make me start pining for Gideon, man.

PS I realize that their ages still make it a bit awkward but I want Jack and Henry to have BAU Offspring Playdates. Okay? Okay.


4) I am going to see The Nutcracker tomorrow. It will be the first time I've ever seen a ballet other than, you know, Center Stage. I still haven't decided what to wear.

Rossi was so weird with his yenta-ing. All cozying up to Morgan and then all cozying up to Hotch. I ended up figuring that he didn't care who ended up where as long as whoever was on top felt that he would be a good confidant. It was kind of creepy. Maybe he'll have a stunning special episode where he's undermining them all with a secret agenda.

Jack can babysit for Henry in 12 years.

Right? I mean, I generally trust the show to be going somewhere with something as blatant as Rossi's ... whatever that was, but I suspect that this time it's not going to be going anywhere I'll like. /o\

OTOH, I quite enjoy the prospect of Jack babysitting Henry! ♥

Thank you for the angel in the shower.

You're quite welcome! I loved it so much I had to share. :)
