I found Blair's long lost brother! No wait.. a former lover! Yes, a former lover sounds better - for several reasons. First, because the 'lover' part brings up some nice and hot imagery, second because everyone knows that Blair belongs to Jim now, so we can only talk about a former lover here - QED.
So who the hell am I talking about? No, it's not Daniel, thank you very much. I'm talking about Declan Dunn... jock!geek extraordinaire.
Mysterious Ways started yesterday and I never ever miss a new series so, of course, I watched it and it was okay, I enjoyed it well enough. So I don't think I'll worship it or anything because a) technically it's just another version of Mulder and Scully, ie the believer and the skeptic - or so it appeared in the first two episodes, though if Peggy keeps on being skeptical after what she saw already, I'm going to think she's even more narrow-minded than Scully [and no offense, btw, I really loved Scully myself] and no one can beat Mulder and Scully, of course and b) in theory, Declan isn't supposed to be the kind of character I'm attracted to, ie he's too big, too muscled, his jaw is too square, he looks a bit too much like a jock. In theory.
Because having said that, it turns out that I enjoyed those two episodes because a) I love supernatural stuff, period and b) I enjoyed Declan really much because, what can I say, I just can't resist geeks! And that guy? Is as much a geek as Blair is, which should tell you a lot about him without me needing to develop, right? He even has the same enthusiasm, and I could almost picture the geeky and hot and enthusiastic and playful and dirty sex those two had when they were younger. Oh and huh did I mention Declan is actually a professor of anthropology? Because if I didn't, I really should have! So yeah, he's a professor of Anthropology... and even better yet we get to follow some of his classes and we learn some pretty cool stuff while doing so. Like another version of Sesame Street lol
Another geek I fell in love with is Miranda. She looks so weird and smart and everything, she's cracking me up! Actually, I really liked the whole Peggy-Declan-Miranda dynamic... they're cute together and make a good team. Sorta like Geeks R Us. No, really.
So yeah, to make a long story short. I watched a new series, liked it well enough, and found a former lover of Blair's, which just made the story and character even more interesting somehow *shrug*
Oh and speaking of Blair - I saw that the LMFA Winners have been announced. And I don't know why we're always so impatient to read the results when in truth, anyone who knows their way around the fandom just a little bit could actually give the names of the winners way in advance lol Still, congrats to the winners - and the nominees because being nominated is already a reward in and of itself. If you like those awards, I mean, of course *g*
PS: This has nothing to do with anything but let it be said for the record that I decided to fast until, say, New Year's Eve because last night's Christmas meal seemed even better than the Christmas Eve's one and my stomach is now hating me lol But damn, it was so good and the table was so beautiful, it was just impossible to resist! *glassy eyes* And if I want to survive the meal on New Year's Eve, I'd better fast... or something lol

Date: 2004-12-27 01:57 pm (UTC)Et je trouve la série sympa en fait, d'ailleurs je pense que je vais la suivre après Dead Zone, donc promis, je ne suis pas si méchante avec elle que ça lol C'est juste que je ne pense qu'il s'agira d'une série dont je serais *fan* à proprement parler - encore que, on ne sait jamais, évidemment *g*
ET OMG! Justine et Annette! Je le crois pas - ça fait toujours bizarre de voir ce genre d'icônes... si françaises lol

Then again, I've always thought being in the shadows is the place to be ;)

Date: 2004-12-30 12:55 pm (UTC)I guess this BNF business is like a comfort zone as far as fandoms go because it's always the same thing everywhere... it's predictable, therefore safe. Can be quite funny too, let's be honest here lol
And I second that - being in the shadows is the place to be *joins you*
