Hugh Laurie has made me his bitch. I saw an episode of House, M.D. on USA two weeks ago and was instantly besotted. So today, I ran to Best Buy and snagged S1. I also bought Saw II, though I don't know why, because Saw was violence on a pornographic scale, and Cary Elwes overacted by twenty miles. Entertainment masochism, I suppose.
Then I went to Borders and picked up Blue Blood by Edward Conlon, a detective in the South Bronx NYPD. It's a memoir of his years in a uniform on the streets, and I thought it would give me a better sense of New York and its geography and a better grasp on cop life in general, and besides, I like anything to do with cops and drama. I'm only a few pages in, but I've already learned about the rotational work schedule and what actually constitutes a beat cop's uniform.
I receive my prompt for the
lyric_ficathon tonight, and I can't wait. I chose CSI:NY as the fandom, and though it's going to be a Flack story, it's likely going to be from Danny Messer's POV. It's due July 1st, and I don't think it's permissible to post the finished fic anywhere but the comm until July 2nd. No worries on that front. I'll be pimping the link like mad when it's on display.
