I'm rewatching Due South and I forgot how much I loved the original Ray Vecchio.  His friendship with Fraser is to die for, literally.  Not that I would die for their friendship; I mean I probably would, but not right off the bat, because then I'll have to be thinking about new Ray and his relationship with Fraser and then I'll be split between the two friendships that are to die for.

Plus, humor.  Season 1=humor.  I think seasons 3 and 4, I don't know if it was the change of Rays or what, but those seasons don't have quite the same level of humor as season 1 does.  And I don't think Fraser talks to Diefenbaker a lot in seasons 3 and 4, unlike season 1 where Dief is his only friend from the Northern territories.  Yeah, those are my thoughts.  Here endeth the rant.

Now, fanfiction.  I'm coming along quite well on Restless Hero, the one with Doyle in it.  I'm sure it's good.  I think I almost nailed all the characters' voices down at this point but now I'm at a writer's block.  I went from Point A to Point B (something that would make Joss proud of me), but for some reason I cannnot get to Point C.  Everything after Point B I wrote down on a timeline/summary of the story, but for the life of me, my muse has other directions the story could go in.  Angel and Wes could get kidnapped by Glory; Lorne and the other gang of Angel Investigations could be kidnapped by Glory; I could go in the direction I origanally wanted to go in and not listen to my muse, but...Point C is so far off I fear I won't make it.  And listening to Vast doesn't help at all, no matter how much the music reminds me of Angel himself!

And don't even get me started on The Blues Brothers fanfiction.  At the beginning, I had it; then I lost their voices; then I regained their voices; now I can't even write the gorram story because, for whatever reason, they now have to scale a fifty foot concrete wall and they can't do that and now I'm stuck with them trying to do it and I can't help because writer's block is keeping me down.

Okay, here endeth the rant.  Of a fanfiction writer.  I'm going to go read Memoirs of a Geisha.  *cries because she has writer's block*

On a completely different tone, I want to rent Top Secret! (funny funny!  watch it please) and Ghost Busters (because I've only seen half of Top Secret! and none of Ghost Busters.  Or maybe I did when I was young but out of fear forgot about it, because I think I do remember watching part of it, but it was so scary for me, when I was young, that I didn't want to remember it any longer.  So, as a result, I need to rent it.  I was a weird child.  Jurassic Park got me scared even, the big t-rex and all.  Of course, I was five or something at the time, so that's a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything.)

And the movie Continental Divide is on tomorrow.  John Belushi is in it and I read it was good, so I'm going to tape it.  And I want to see The Truman Show again, because that made me cry the first time I watched it all the way through.
