Signal boost plus a few things.

1. the_wanlorn is in need of a little help. Normally I throw cash her way but I am a little short these days (and we're heading up to visit soon, so I will feed her then). Instead, I'm advertising here, if you would take a look I would be super-grateful.

2. Lisa Edelstein is not coming back. I read this a few days ago and I thought for sure I'd see it somewhere on the flist, but nothing so far. I'm wary of this. No Cuddy? D: Also, the only other person who hasn't signed their contract yet is Chase. Yikes.

3. china_shop has been writing delightful little White Collar ficlets most days, including, in recent days Neal/Mozzie, Neal/El/Peter, Diana/Christie (HOT), and Neal/Jones (super-sweet and gorgeous). Take a look at the recent entries, those stories have really brightened my day.

4. Shakespeare or Batman cracks me up.

5. I am watching the Eddie Izzard biopic Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story and it is amazing and humbling and sad and I love him so much, you guys. SO MUCH. He's just incredible, and his amazing 'don't take no for an answer' attitude is so inspiring. Available on U.S. Netflix streaming and highly recommended.

6. I have many more things but we got new pillows and I'm not sleeping well, so my mind is a little scattershot. Ask me something! Maybe it'll jog a memory. :)

I got 22 of 30 correct on the quiz; missed 6 Batman and 2 Shakespeare (Titus Andronicus). How'd you do?

china_shop and Eddie Izzard rawk.

[kate]

Indeed. :D

I got 23 out of 30, though I don't remember which was Batman and which was Shakespeare. I was so surprised to miss any - I figured it'd be a breeze to get them right. Who knew Batman was so poetic?

I saw the Eddie Izzard documentary when it was on TV here over Christmas and was really impressed by it (and him). There's a part where he's in the back of a taxi talking about how you have to believe in your ability to do something before you can do it which I added to my 'inspirational quotes' list.

[kate]

Yeah - that was awesome, god, I love the man so much. And then when he was talking about his mum I was practically in tears (and when that watchdog group said it was bad that he was doing old jokes! How awful!).

He's pretty amazing, just - especially because he was so mediocre at the beginning, you know? I mean, it was so funny that he was up against Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson and they just wiped the floor with him. And what did he do? Just keep on trucking. So much love for him.

I got 23/30, but around the middle section, I started to feel like Batman was reading every single quote, in the rain, on a gargoyle. *feels weird now*

I will miss Cuddy! I think it depends on how they write her out, and who they write in. Sadly I lost my Chase-love mid-season when it turned out that his password was 'password'. I just can't.

[kate]

Ahahaha - that's totally true! On a gargoyle! Ha!

I'll miss Cuddy too, I think she's fantastic. I lost my Chase love a while ago, honestly, I liked him better when he was a tool in the early seasons. (I don't mind the password because it reminds me of those early tool-ish seasons.) I don't have high hopes for House, I'm thinking there's shark jumping coming up soon. (Or maybe it already has and I missed it because I've been so dogged about watching it.)
