No S:AaB recap today, as I got distracted by the dishes while cold Case was on in the background, and then I returned to the living room to see Bones was on, and it was about a historical dig, and pirates, so of course I had to watch David Boroneaz get his glee on (awww, he's really not that bad when he's not playing Broody McMoperson), and um. "... Is that Rod Rowland?" Yep, my weird talent for switching on shows I never watch just for the eps starring certain obscure actors I like has struck again! This happens to me all the time with Adam Baldwin as well. Either I have some sort of weird homing device for these guys, or they're stalking me through the TV.

So this weekend in Bruges, a bunch of skinheads beat up a black guy, who is currently still in a coma. Yesterday afternoon, an eighteen-year old shot a Turskish woman, a black woman, and the two-year old (white) child she was babysitting. The Turkish woman is heavily wounded, the other two victims didn't survive. I just ... I'm almost not surprised about this, after watching the number of extreme right voters rise constantly since ... pretty much since I became politically aware, really, which would have been the early nineties, probably even before, but the first real Black Sunday was 1992, I believe. Something had to give in the end, and I can only hope that this is it, that it's not just a buildup to something bigger.

Oh, and then my mum got taken to the ER on Wednesyday with what looked like it could be a heart attack, then might have been lung cancer, but thankfully turned out to be "just" atypical pneumonia. I'm ... kind of glad I didn't hear of it until last night, actually, when there was an actual diagnosis, because I would have freaked the fuck out. Yeah.

Glad your mum is alright. Mum's are the glue that hold the world together (and make sure everything is clean and orderly).

I'm voting for Adam Baldwin stalking you through the TV. Look, he's even in my icons... ;-)

Bastard is so stalking me, yes. Him and that Rowland fellow, both of them. Stupid arm kink. *kicks it*

I wouldn't mind being stalked by Adam Baldwin.

I might even let him catch me some times...

Yes, but through the TV?

True.

Oh well, a girl can dream!

glad your mum is going to be ok - and I agree, hearing after the actual problem was diagnosed was probably easier on you than fretting beforehand.

I think Adam Baldwin probably *is* stalking you - enjoy!

asdjkjasdkljasd EVIL! Gah guh knife licking *puddle* GUH!

I evil wherever I can - this seemed a perfect place!

and yeah, Jayne+knife-licking? OMG hottttt and puddle-inducing!!!

Eeep. Scary about your mum. Glad it was a "just" so she'll be okay.

Thanks, pet. And yeah, I'm still a bit nervous about things happening to my family while I'm over here and can't help. :/

I know. That was the hardest part about living in another country, not being able to be there if something happened.
