A Week's Worth of Stuff

[bunchofgrapes]

Watching CSI a day late isn't nearly as fun as watching it when it airs. But the sister was in town and last night was the first chance all week I've had to see her. Work is sucking the life out of me right now. Another week to go and I'll get a little breathing room. Can't complain too much because I do love the massive pricing exercise I'm doing right now but we're on a very compressed schedule, I'm the Subject Matter Expert for the database we're using, and there are a lot of new people using it. They are very clingy people.



Anyway, this was one of those quality over quantity episodes that us Brass fans have gotten used to seeing. What we saw was excellent: loved every scene with Brass and Skaggs (I used to work at a grocery story called Skaggs) but Brass getting hit on by the guy was hilarious. And yeah, "where would I pin the badge" is classic.

Nice to know Brass recognizes Gil is the patient one when it comes to uncooperative suspects. Of course Brass is obviously the most well-adjusted character on the show, especially after having a crack-whore daughter, killing a guy, getting shot and losing a CSI-friend. It's apparent he's in touch with his inner-Brass.

Looks like they are catching up to real time. I noticed the date on one of the iPhones they were heavily pimping was 10/23/08.

I kind of like Riley. It'll be interesting to see her snark with Brass. And to think she could have been played by Katee Sackoff.

Brass has the best phone voice. Period

I don't like Vartann. I haven't liked him since "Big Middle" and I don't like that he takes screen time away from Brass. I'm sure I won't like any of the other detectives taking time away from him either. Sofia, however, would get a pass if she ever shows up again. But that's easy to say because apparently she's not showing up ever again.

Did anyone see "Pushing Daisies" last week? Father Mulcahy? Sister Christian? I about wet myself laughing. It took me an episode or two to really get back into the flow but this is one of the most clever and sweet shows on TV.

So this Brass/Annie fic that I've been trying to write for the last year? Not going any where. Most of it is due to the aforementioned work stress but it's starting to frustrate me. I want to finish it for a variety of reasons (mostly because I'm kind of sick of talking about it) but when I have this monster project hanging over my head, I just can't seem to focus on writing. I'm really, really glad I didn't jump the gun and start posting this thing.

I. Want. Sofia. Back. Right. Now.

She and Brass so need to be onmyscreen right now.

And I hate when fic doesn't do what you want. Naughty fic.

Work is sucking the life out of me right Not. Good.

very clingy people Ughhh sorry *hugs*

I so wish they had used Brass more in this episode...it actually felt like there was more.

And I love Bryan Fuller's shows that PD episode was hilarious. ^_^

I understand the frustration...no time to write for me either...

Hey, so far this season is quality Brass, and man, the minute I heard that nude comment I thought of YOU, babe.

Although I wouldn't mind a good long look at that painting myself!

Pushing Daisies continues to delight, and I'm glad they're not dumbing down the pacing because that's half the charm right there.

Fic woes? I empathize deeply. Just the mention of Candy Shop makes me whimper, so believe me I do feel you pain.

Let me know if you need any motivation help with the fic, and I'll try to motivate. Which is funny because I have a ficathon due next week and a story that is stuck in neutral.

Brass's lack of screentime in the last two eps is made up for just how freakin' hot he is this season. Really, this could be his best looking season so far. And I am going to enjoy every minute of it.

That PD ep was brilliant. So brilliant that I've been humming Sister Christian for the last week. And I hated that song. Hated.

I posted my comments on the latest CSI eppie over on the JB forums. Although I didn't have any inclination until today. Don't know why, maybe lack of screentime?! When he was in the episode, PG made the most of it though, as always. Never ceases to amaze me.

The badge line is right up there with "never underestimate the power of the ass" comment.

You're right about Vartann taking scenes from Jim though. Next week looks just as craptastic. We'll see.

Ahh, work stress...the absolute devil! I can sympathize with you about that. Sorry to hear the fic isn't going anywhere. I love reading your fics and look forward to reading this one whenever you finish it. You put forth alot of time and effort in your fics and it shows, unlike some of the Brass fics I've read.
