Maybe Van Pelt Is A Bit Taken With Dean.

[rionaleonhart]

I am very nearly caught up on The Mentalist!

At the beginning of 'Red Scare', I found myself wondering whether I had accidentally put on a Supernatural episode. I spent the rest of the episode half-expecting the Winchesters to show up and was mildly disappointed when they didn't.

(The Winchesters investigate a case! The CBI are already investigating it! Cho interrogates Sam! Dean becomes convinced that this guy with a girl's name is actually psychic and they need to take him out! (They don't actually take him out, though. That would make the concept much less delightful. (Maybe Sam takes him out to dinner.)))

Van Pelt and Rigsby were adorable enough to make up for the lack of Winchesters, though. I love them. Also, the part where Jane was leaning casually against a ledge and drinking tea and basically looked like he was having the most civilised phonesex ever with Cho was bizarrely and enormously hot.


Over the weekend, I made the following rather perplexing slipup when talking to my housemate:

Riona: Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water.

It was late and I was sleepy, but that doesn't really make it much less confusing.

(Between that and my starting a story with 'A friend of mine was once strangling me - not for erotic reasons...' in the middle of a discussion about autoerotic asphyxiation, I think my housemate may be slightly afraid of me.)

I feel compelled to ask now - why was your friend strangling you?

And your Mentalist posts continue to make me happy in my sleep-deprived wanderings through my flist in between ridic amounts of dead languages.

Everything about Jane is bizarrely and enormously hot. Like, that episode where he suddenly was holding a baby for some reason (I forget why) and it sent me into giddy paroxysms of delight. idek.

I have...nothing of relevance to say right now, but would like to meet up and do something, er, sometime.

Also I should either go to sleep or drink some coffee.

My Dad and I were both bordering on deathly ill this weekend, so we bundled up, medicated, and caught up on our DVR'd episodes of The Mentalist.

Cho's deadpan is fucking hilarious when you're cough syrup'd out of your head. Not that he isn't amusing otherwise, but he was marvelous.

Dad's cackle-wheeze when Jane accidentally cock blocked Rigsby and Van Pelt was pretty epic.

"Riona: Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water."

It's not even funny how often stuff like this happens to me. (Okay, it's actually really funny, but that's Not The Point.) Also I burst out laughing at this and scared away the woodpecker outside my window. Scaring nature is always fun. High five!

And I have a feeling Cho would be fantastic at phonesex. He's EFFICIENT. *MEANINGFUL EYEBROW RAISE*

Riona! Have you ever seen, just by chance, the video of the girl playing the ukelele serenading Derren Brown? Because I saw it and thought instantly of you!

THEO AND I ARE LAUGHING AT YOU QUITE HARD. We'd spent some time complaining about how we missed you, in the pub earlier on tonight, AND I THINK THIS QUOTE OF YOURS WELL ILLUSTRATES WHY.

Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water. This sort of thing happens to me ALL THE TIME.

Also, I'm realizing I sort of have a distressing amount of affection for every single character in The Mentalist. I keep trying to pick out one who is my favourite and failing. Also why are the women in this show so distractingly attractive?

HOW do you confuse WATER with DRUGS?!

I lol'd really, really hard, jsyk. REALLY. Can't breatheeeee.

Hahahaha, back to asphyxiation!

... Sorry, it's way past my bedtime.

Earlier this week, I blanked on the pronunciation of 'promulgation', despite having said it successfully, several times in a row, earlier that very conversation. Thanks to you, I now feel so much better about it.
