CBS to drop A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster from Criminal Minds? WTF??

OK... so most of you (the two or three that read this blog) probably don't watch Criminal Minds. To that I say... you should! It's a fantastic show with a true ensemble cast, each member of which is given multiple opportunities to shine. There are three -- count them, three -- female cast members. And CBS wants to drop two of them. *twitch* I'm flabbergasted.

So the message we're trying to send here is that only men make for good TV? What happened to providing our youth with strong, positive female role models? The reason this show works so well is that it's a fully meshed ensemble cast. Each person on the team has a very different function and brings their own unique perspective to the table. Take one away and the whole suffers. And taking away the only two that are active field agents? What's the next step CBS? Having us all barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen? *sigh*

So... if you care at all, or even if you just want to do me a favor... take two seconds of your time and sign the petition to keep J.J. and Prentiss on the Criminal Minds team. Please? *wobble eyes*

*sighs*

I want to write... but there are a thousand other things that I should be doing instead. And I have that nervous, twitchy sort of inspiration that doesn't want to settle and become fic. I should know by now not to give myself deadlines. My natural tendency is to rebel against them into this frenzy of howling two year old, "I don't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

*sigh* I'm so immature sometimes. :-P

second time's the charm... again?

At the beach with my writing notebook hoping that inspiration, unlike lightning, will strike the same place twice. ^_^ Need to write some more Claude!whump! :d

...which turned out to only be 555 words. :-P While that makes the math geek in me happy, that's a seriously sucky word count. *sigh* Next time I'll remember to throw a jacket in the car. 6600 words total on the fic, though. Exactly. My inner math geek is so happy, it's interfering with my ability to write anymore tonight. I don't want to mess up the pretty numbers! Only way it could be better was if today's word count was 555 and the total was 6666. ^_~
