gyri posted a link to this very cute clip from the season 6 opener of H-5O & I had to share.

Steve & Danny dancing together
(It's on Instagram & I don't know how to embed from there.)

I'm not in the fandom anymore, & the show does often annoy me (though I still keep watching!) but this reminds me of why I fell in love with these two back in season 1. *g*

We're home from a fabulous holiday in the USofA. :)
We had a wonderful time but it is good to be home with Bud again.

I'm feeling rather jet-lagged & fuzzy around the edges but am slowly getting back to good old GMT! (Well, +1 for summer time. *g*)
And maybe it's because I'm feeling a bit over-tired but I got back to a 'you've been defriended' notification from LJ & it upset me a bit. I was really surprised to see that this person had defriended me & have no idea why.
So... if anyone does want to defriend* me (& that's fine - I'm not being a special snowflake about it) then please do (just do it now while I'm expecting it. *g*) Thank you!

Happy Tuesday, folks!
*hugs*

* A little heads-up. I'm afraid that I won't be uploading eps of H5-O when the new season begins. (If anyone needs the eps then do check out - & join - hawaiifive_0_tv.) So, if you're mainly here for 5-O eps & would prefer to defriend me then I completely understand.  

I will still be uploading Spn as it airs.

This made me smile so much!

And in other happy-making news - xanthelj is arriving later today for a visit. \o/
I'm sure there'll be much chatting, laughing - & possibly definitely mince pie eating! :)
We're also meeting up with lantean_drift & some other lovely ladies tomorrow for lunch. Yay!

I hope everyone is having a lovely week.
*hugs*

It's been a busy week so far, what with the launch of the Five-O Art Fiesta & the SGA Art Shindig! If you haven't checked them out yet, please do, there's already some gorgeous art & the fests continue all week. Things in fandom can get a little quiet (understandably) during the summer, & so it's lovely to have all this new work to enjoy. ♥

Speaking of 'work' *g* - I'm still busy with my mcshep_match art. Go, Team Sheppard, go! *\o/* And my exchange story for the H/C challenge at sheppard_hc. Three weeks until the deadlines!
*not panicking... much*

A H5-0 fic rec!

Moored by thegrrrl2002

A delicious slice of Steve/Danny from The Grrrl. ♥ (I really don't need to say any more, do I?)

And carrying on the 5-0 theme - filming began on s2 yesterday. \o/
I don't usually enjoy watching interviews (I have a low embarrassment threshold & some interviewers say such lame things, making the actors look so uncomfortable that I just end up squirming!) but I did watch this one with Alex. (He's one actor who's always so watchable, even if there are dorky questions or anything, because he's just so adorable & charming!)
Anyway - nothing made me squirm, Alex is beyond cute & just, just... ♥!

(Warning: a little spoilery for s2)



The man is made of adorable (& hotness & sex). That's all I can say. ♥

Oh, & I got this:

Subject: Your Amazon.com order

Hello,

We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on May 02 2011:

Alex O'Laughlin, Scott Caan "Hawaii Five-0: The First Season"
Estimated arrival date: October 17 2011 - November 04 2011

Woot! \o/
Looks like it'll arrive around my birthday. Hee! Happy birthday to me. *g*
Though, you'd think they could spell AOL's name right. *snort*

Okay, I have more to say about the Five-O finale & comment convos to pick up (now I've been to sleep *g*) but for now I think we all need lots of happy-making stuff while fandom is busily fixing everything*. ♥






Alex's cute little head duck & smile when the reporter wants to touch his shoulder. *loves*
Oh, Grace Park (how are you so adorable?) - Danny & McGarrett get pregnant**. Needlepoint. Alex knits! A crochet related injury! \o/ LOL
Alex loves the carguments (& so do we, O'Lough!)

**This pregnancy is actually more believable than the one they gave us in the 'quick! let's rewrite canon' reboot of Danny & Rachel. *snort*

So, in the cargument vein... *g*

( more )

( because there can never be enough O'Lough... )

Mmmm, that definitely helps. ♥

Oh, & I made myself a running!Steve icon (two of my favourite things - Steve & running ♥) which makes me ridiculously happy. \o/

* I totally love fandom!

Bulletpoints of love!

+ Thank you winter_elf for my shiny tinfoil hat! LOL

+ There's a fabulous new fic from sgamadison that is sweet & funny & just totally great! (And I am in no way biased because of the mention of a certain person who is very close to my heart. *g*)

Dog Day Afternoon by sgamadison (McShep)

+ I went for a really good run last night. My best yet since the knee surgery. I'm still keeping the distance low (this was only 3.6 miles) but I pushed the pace & was really pleased with how it felt. I, um, may have signed up for the Cardiff Half Marathon in the autumn. *g* Even with me having to have my other (non-running related) surgery in a few weeks, I should hopefully have plenty of time to build up the mileage again & be ready for the race. I've really missed doing long distances. A nice 15 miles or so by the water on a Sunday morning is such a joy, & I can't wait to get back to it. :)

+ An extended trailer for next week's 5-O has been released! \o/

( spoilers )

Just the squee, ma'am...




( spoilers & screen caps )

( next week's (spoilery, obviously) trailer )

Edit:
Now with hot comment fic! \o/

I was sorely in need of some squee & then this came along...

(This is spoilery, obviously. *g*)

I'm loving it already - based on just this scene.
Is is Tuesday morning yet? *g*

Oh, & talking of much needed squee. New Dr Who tonight & new Spn to watch! \o/

Another round of 'Distraction by Pretty'.

This just makes me smile so damn hard... ♥





Oh, Steve... ♥ ♥ ♥
*loves*

So, here's my latest salvo in the on-going 'Operation: Distraction By Pretty'!

The CBS Watch! feature on 5-O is now online here.
I've checked with my print copy & all the text looks to be there (some of the pics are missing, but they're all available here at AOL Rocks.) :)

Things that made me smile & grin like a smiling, grinning fool! ♥

This:
O’Loughlin read with a whole raft of actors—“a lot of really amazing, really well-known guys”—and still found himself flying to the Pacific Rim without having met his new co-star. “All of a sudden we were here in Hawaii, at the table read for the pilot, and they’relike, ‘Oh, this is Scott,’ ” O’Loughlin recalls. “And I was like, ‘Uh, hi, Scott.’ He’d just landed, and we got in the van and drove to the table read. He was texting his new girlfriend at the time, and I was like, ‘Really?’ ” O’Loughlin chuckles at the memory of it. “But I realized in that moment that, OK, this is cool. We just riffed. The bromance began.”

( more cuteness )

Teasing & bromance & just, just... My melting little fangirly heart can't take it! *g*
And really, how adorable is The O'Lough with his antics?
*meep*

Heh, & then there's the behind the scenes segment from ET!



Oh, my - there are a few shots there that I really, really wished had made it into the mag. Scott in a tub? Yes, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fnnngh!

As per the usual 'in the event of a catastrophic youtube failure-global zombie apocalypse-yadda, yadda, yadda', I've snagged the vid, converted it to .avi & uploaded it for saving. :)

BTS: Watch! mag photo shoot

.avi, ~ 1 min, ~ 28 MB

Please do 'right-click & save' & no hot-linking.
Thank you, as always, to the wonderful saldemonium for her generous donation of server space for vid sharing.

And because Dot is mentioned, & there's nothing happier-making than dogs, here she is!



And now, I wish we could just see a pic of Scott, Alex, Dot & Alex's new pup, Reggie. ♥
