Not dead! Just full of RL busy-ness and having less time to do things beyond lurk (and love you all deeply, just without--you know--talking to anyone...). Anyway, posting!fail and commenting!fail aside...what is everyone up to?

I think I'm actually more excited about the summer lineup than I was about the fall one. Behold the return of five shows that I pretty much unequivocally ADORE.

1. True Blood (June 13) on HBO - god bless my neighbor's HBO subscription so I can watch the wackass insanity of Eric, Lafayette & Co live every week, squee!

2. Leverage (June 20) on TNT - Hardison Hardison and more Hardison! With some Eliot and Parker thrown in to balance things out :) I think I used the words "delightfully entertaining" to describe this show the other day--true dat.

3. Warehouse 13 (July 13) on Syfy - I was amazed at how fun this show was last summer. Mr. BQ and I were totally sucked in. Can't wait for more goofy sci-fi!

4. Eureka (July 9) on Syfy - this one is new-to-me. The hubby and I have been having a Eureka marathon for the last couple of months for seasons 1-3. I watched one episode all by itself and didn't get it last year, but starting from the beginning I TOTALLY GET IT now. The humor and the chemistry of the entire cast is so great. Again, I really really love me some fluffy campy sci-fi!

5. So You Think You Can Dance (already begun, yay!) - And this will be my popcorn for the brain. My love for this show may go beyond the bounds of logic or reason. It's like everything I love about cheesy dance movies packaged up in a frothy guilty-pleasure weekly bundle of JOY.

And there are a few maybes:
? The Gates (June 20) on ABC, I've been known to like campy supernatural soaps in the past...
? Haven (July 9) on Syfy, looks kind of like Eureka (outside investigator comes to small town full of unusual residents) but darker?

Saying temporary goodbye to Supernatural, Glee, Bones and Castle. Saying permanent goodbye to Lost *sniff*

Fannish projects

Vidding has been sort of put on hold while finishing up podfic projects (though I never seen to lack for vid bunnies). In another amazing-dream-world, I am rich enough to either quit my job and make fannish things full time OR rich enough to buy all of y'all's mad skills on auctions and get my vid/fic/podfic bunnies brought into existence as a patroness of the fangirl arts.

I'm really enjoying the current podfic project too, so not complaining! As much as I loved watching SGA, I came kind of late to the party so I missed out on most of the fandom. I'm loving recording this SGA AU and getting into reading more fic from SGA fandom. There is so much recorded SGA podfic out there for me to delve into! I've pretty much listened to every J2 podfic ever created (some of them several times...) and as much as I anxiously await each new [livejournal.com profile] juice817 recording as they come out, I need more stuff to listen to :p

If there's interest, I might do a podfic rec post?

Other things on my fangirl radar:

Katee in a werewolf fight-club movie? Yes please!

Scott Pilgrim - this comic series is easily on par with the Wimpy Kid books for the number of times it has made me laugh out loud while reading them. I can't recommend them enough. And the trailers for the movie look delightful too! I love when the visual aesthetic of comic books translates well into a movie adaptation.

Mr. BQ has got me totally hooked on watching the Diggnation video podcasts. Adorable nerdy boys are adorable.

Her Universe = nerdy Star Wars clothes made for ladies = made of win!

My baby bro is home for the summer and we have made a pack to marathon as much Buffy & Angel as possible while he is here, wheeee!

So You Think You Can Dance! :D I'm kind of worried about the new format. It could be great, it could be weird.

oh no, what format changes? I didn't know they were doing anything different! I really liked my cheesy dance show just the way it was :(

They're only going to start with 10 dancers (five girls and five guys) instead of 20, and rather than pairing them up with each other, they'll dance solo and with contestants from previous seasons (http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/04/23/so-you-think-you-can-dance-fox-announces-season-7s-all-star-dance-partners/). So every week one person will go home.

I'm so torn! WHY MESS WITH CHEESY PERFECTION?! It might be cool to see the "all stars" again (Neil! Twitch!) but I liked it the way it was. I loved when the pairs would bond with each other and stuff. :(((

Oh wow, now I'm really torn too! I mean, I absolutely ADORE some of those all stars (Ade! Twitch!), but I really loved seeing two people develop their skills and chemistry together over several episodes too.

Huh. Well, I'm sure I'll still love it because it's DANCING and my brain is just broken that way. But I might be griping along the way if the emotional build-up isn't as satisfying...

I'm onboard with one and two also! And are you a White Collar fan? That plus the premiere of Covert Affairs on USA directly afterward looks like a good evening of TV!

I have heard nothing but good things about White Collar, so I was going to netflix it. I do find Matt Bomer to be INTENSELY pretty!

Also Piper Perabo--I love her! I'll have to check out Covert Affairs too.

Hahaha, I can't say the werewolf fight club movie sounds campy as hell, but depending on the previews I'd give it a shot!

Oh, I'm POSITIVE that it will be campy, but that doesn't mean I won't watch it :D

Katee in a werewolf fight-club movie?

My only reaction to this? OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGYESYESYES! Only less coherent. You know how right up my alley this is, AND Katee stars? Cue more incoherent gleeful squeeing!

Fall season was total fail but I am very excited for summer shows! I even lowered my netflix down to one movie because there is so much on. Can't wait for Leverage and Eureka and Warehouse 13 isn't love but I'll watch it. I am also excited for Burn Notice and White Collar! Soo good!! I had free HBO but I gave that up when I downgraded my cable but at least I know where I can watch TB so it's all good.

Miss you!! *hugs*

I feel like I've been suffering from the absence of Aldis in my life. So so sooooo excited for it to start up again!
