Modeling Journey

New series, new fandom ...

Watching Torchwood now. A bit haphazardly, actually. First watched "they keep killing Suzie", because it was wanked. *stopwatchsquee!!* Then "Kiss kiss bang bang" because of the Date-Scene, which by the way I finally understood, after I watched it on repeat and read a transsript (really people, would it kill you to speak properly? Last time I was this desperate for subtitles was watching "Sharpe" and "Pamela". Just not Non-English-friendly.) Oh boy, Spike... is not to be messed with. Not even by one Jack Harkness *giggling* Not much of a looker, James Marsters, but does he ever have a menacing presence! Couldn't tear my eyes from him. Though I would have appreciated it, if he dropped the coat (not quite literally) or would pick one less garish. Then I watched "Adrift" because of the hothouse scene. Love how matter-of-factly Ianto was. Can understand the irresistible pull of wanting to rile him up, when he is in full professional mode. That one left me depressed, because the atmosphere was far too reminiscent of one of the last Firefly-eps, where Mal inherits the body of one of his men. The same air of closure. And we all know what kind of closure it meant for Firefly *grumblegrumble*. I fervently hope that die five ep-season planned for 2009 won't get cancelled *praying to all slashy deities out there*. Well, you get my priorities in the watching order, I think. I know, I'm weird :D Now I have worked my way through most of season 2 and beginning with the last third of season one. Will hold out on "Exit wounds" though, 'cause I just know, that it will about kill me.

Seriously wondering if I should give a John/Jack/Ianto a chance, just because I feel so sorry for John and want to pet him (it is like caring for one of those scraggly meanspirited fighter cats, who would gladly scratch your eyes out and bite the hand feeding them and be so unbearably cute while doing it. Though more deadly. *snickering* ). If not for feeling that John Hart doesn't exactly strike me as a sharing type. And I  am not going to discard of Ianto like an old rag, not even Jack is that superficial. Ianto would probably good for John. They can commiserate together. Would take the focus off Jack a bit, distract them. John could use a constant presence in his life and Ianto is nothing if not constant. Maybe then he would be less tempted to go on killing spree and maybe watch a movie instead and learn cooking, I do not know. Aah, ok, ok, Im a hopeless romantic, ok. I KNOW that love is not the end to all means. But do not you wish it were? And fanfic can let it happen ... I think I need to ReWatch some episodes.

Jack Harkness A nice photo for me, to rest my eyes upon: D

Recent news reports have touched on the division in the Liberal Caucus between the leader, Dion, and many of the MPs - Dion does not want to take steps to have an election now, when the Tories are vulnerable, but to spend the summer marketing his carbon tax concept.

But that is not what causes me alarm. Rather, Dion is reported as not being in favour of adding a cap and trade element to the Liberal Party's global warming policy plank.

He is reported as saying that this 'confuses' the issue.

Dion is wrong. Harper's Tories have already started to brand his global warming as a tax increase. To roll out half a policy on global warming is not politically wise.

Nor is it wise political leadership.

Dion should roll out a comprehensive energy policy, including a cap and trade initiative.

Come to think of it, Dion should, as leader, roll out a series of political policies, so as to give Canadian voters reasons for voting FOR the Liberals, not just against Harper's Tories. Leaders should have policies.

Where are Dion's?
