Pineapple Pie Is the Pie of My HEART

Only, like, a day and a half 'til Thanksgiving! With its associated Grandma-food!

And...the Pie. Believe me, capitalization is completely justified. I only get this pie twice a year, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and it's the best of all pies. It's Grandma's PINEAPPLE PIE.

And this year, I get to make a getaway to the dorm with my leftovers so Dad can't steal the last piece of pie that I've been saving for TWO DAYS. Dad's a pie-thief. All the time, he steals my pie. And also my last Dr. Pepper. Basically, the only things I can trust him not to steal are the things he doesn't like, like my beautiful German chocolate snack-cake-thing that I can no longer find anywhere. It was the perfect size! It was gooey and delicious and chocolate-y, with little nuggets of stuff that may have been toffee, or some sort of caramel!

I miss my cake.

Every Friday, at around 9, I'd start the cake baking, because the package lied (it took forty minutes, minimum, to bake, not ten), and watch Stargate SG-1, and then it'd be done in time to eat while I watched Stargate Atlantis. I would have cake, and milk, and cheesily wonderful sci-fi.

And now I have no cake and my dorm doesn't apparently get the Sci-Fi Channel.

Speaking of Stargate Atlantis, apparently, somewhere, people have obtained the next episode of SGA. And I wist to watch it. Oh, how I wist. And also, Mark was right; the verb form is totally better than the descriptive (I'm not sure if "wistful" is an adjective or an adverb or both).

Anyway. If I uphold my ban on episode-downloading, I have to wait until January to see what everybody's talking about. But if I drop the ban, I could download it now. Decisions, decisions.

And apparently, the writers are going to show us a "darker side of Carson". What? What? This man is CMO to an entire colony ('cause come on, Atlantis = totally a colony) and he has some of the most questionable medical ethics I've ever seen.

And, y'all, I watch House. In tonight's episode, he hit a patient in the abdomen with his cane to make the guy's liver-cysts explode and throw him into anaphylactic shock. And he's still more ethical than Carson.

Carson, who called a teenage girl a "willing test subject" for his crazy, completely untested, DNA-altering drug. Who experiments on prisoners. Who is currently constructing a bioweapon that he plans to use to commit genocide. Who (according to spoilers) is apparently going to not only experiment on the POW he gets his hands on, he's going to rewrite his DNA and brainwash him.

Oh yeah, he's the warm and fuzzy one on this show.

And on another note... Bitches? I quit. I am tired of being the crazy-fangirl-who-makes-people-read-things-all-the-time. Why do I always gotta be the one pimpin' people into new fandoms? I wanna be pimped! Or, alternately, I want someone to point me to something and it not be something I've already read/bookmarked/rec'd to you. I want something new and cool that I didn't have to find myself. Because I read all kinds of crazy stuff to find that new and cool stuff and then you guys reap what I have sown.

Know what I read earlier? Sheppard/Kavanaugh. Where Kavanaugh was Sheppard's date to Rodney and Carson's wedding. Yeah, that one went on the list of "stories I will never, ever finish, I don't care how bored I get".

This song is strangely hypnotic when listened to on repeat.

I watch too many shows at once. I watched NCIS and Bones, and then I watched House and Supernatural.

So I've basically got just the highlights.

Tony! It was an episode all about Tony! But there was a bunch of Abby! That makes pretty much a guaranteed hit with me.

I was irrationally pleased with the team making comments on his "people who hate me" list. And Tony was undercover with the mob! I have no idea if we knew that before. I mean, I've read fic where that happened, but I don't know if it was based on canon that I just missed, or if it's just that the author was psychic.

Fornell! I like Fornell. But it's weird to see him without Gibbs dragging him into the elevator. Although it's possible he did and I just missed it.

And bwahahaha! Chip was eeeevil! The mustache was totally a clue (he's a traditionalist! I'm sorry, I cannot resist the chance to quote Firefly).

And Abby! Totally took him down! In two consecutive episodes, my two favorite characters have been locked in with armed psychos who wished them harm. In both episodes, the rest of the team rushes in to rescue them, only to find that they've totally kicked ass and restrained the psycho.

I love my dorky crime show.

Speaking of dorky crime shows...Zach/Hodgins = OTP. I can't help it! I want slash! They race beetles! They tease each other! Zach has a photographic memory! Which, yes, has nothing to do with my new OTP, but it's still cool. Although we're not supposed to call it a photographic memory anymore. The term is now "eidetic".

Which I learned from fanfiction. Also, I learned the origin of the term "stuffed to the gills". Fanfiction totally teaches you stuff.

So there, Alyssa.

Anyway. Zach/Hodgins! They are pretty! And not otherwise attached! They spend Friday nights in the lab racing beetles! Which I know I've already said, but it was incredibly cute. There should be slash, and I should have had it waiting for me at the end of the episode.

This spell check is incredibly weird. Its dictionary doesn't contain "bioweapon" or "anaphylactic", but does contain "pimping".

Basically all I have to say about tonight's episode of House (what I saw of it), is: "the head-tilting mouse was strangely creepy" and "OMG! Chase and Cameron slept together!".

Okay also, "Ooooh, pretty." re:C&C sleeping together.

Possibly I will say more after I watch the full episode tomorrow. Possibly not.

Possibly my family will spend Thanksgiving telling me I'm fat and no, I really shouldn't have anymore pie. If so, I will probably spend the next couple journal entries bitching.

Because if they don't stop, Michael'll be the next to start in, and then I'll have to stab somebody in the face.

I kind of want an icon that just says "Janet Haze and her organ ferrets".
