Jul. 17th, 2007 07:38 pmDragonfly and Bunny have arrived home safely. Dragonfly is just putting Bunny to bed and then we will either be getting started on the last seven episodes of Rome, or all of season six Smallville. I don't know which! It could go either way! I'm excited!
For anyone who's ever heard from the old timers about how slashy Starsky and Hutch was, but couldn't see past the daggy 70's fashions. WATCH THIS VID.

Dec. 18th, 2005 11:33 pmYAY ME! I scored fourth season Starsky and Hutch and fourth season Enterprise. I love presents. Christmas.
First ep...
Scene - Disco club, Starsky and Hutch are sitting very close together.
Starsky or Hutch Who's that guy over there talking to that other guy?
Random Woman If you guys are interested in men you've come to the wrong place.
Starsky and Hutch *very slowly turn to look at each other*
Random Woman *leaves*
Starsky and Hutch *stare intently into each other's eyes*
Second ep...
They clock off for the weekend...which they spend playing hide and seek.
Starsky I've done my homework for seven years. I know how, where, when you eat, walk, sleep, talk and who you know, what you know, and how you know it.
Also, FOURTH SEASON ENTERPRISE. I AM SO EXCITED. I haven't seen season 3 so I'm currently AGONISING over whether to just bog on in or not.

hello sunshine, my old friend
May. 27th, 2004 10:14 amSo winter's closing in...and my ankles are cold. Pretty much constantly. Damn ankle socks, damn them to hell I say! I am even (and I cannot emphasise the horror of this clearly enough) considering throwing all taste to the winds and buying Ugg boots.
The angst! The visual trauma!
Now where did I see those fluffy rainbow ones again?
Dear god, I am a slave to fashion.
But hey, notice I'm not talking about Starsky and Hutch?
:: :: ::
Well, obviously, now I am.
Am currently sane person again. I had six shifts in a row, two of them doubles, and was forced to make the hard choices. As in going to bed at a reasonable time every night which meant NO Starsky and Hutch fic. NO Starsky and Hutch episodes.
Cold turkey.
Brutal but effective.
Am no longer in obsess mode.
To illustrate:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scrat came over last night and brought new episodes. We watched a couple. She went home. dragonfly8 turned off the TV and went to bed. I went to my computer.
(Ah lovely Mac, how I've missed our quality time this week)
Where I stayed up late reading....a Harry Potter story...
...which I got ten chapters into and decided...nice Draco?? Blah.
And went to bed.

Emma wrote me haiku!!! I love Emma.
Starsky said: 'Nice legs!'
Hutch wiggled his perfect ass.
They mad violent love.
Hutch said: 'Nice blue eyes!'
Starsky fluttered his lashes.
They fell together.
Awww.
( My weekend in too much detail. )

again and again
May. 13th, 2004 02:18 pmI think we all need to accept that this Starsky and Hutch obsession of mine is going to be with us for a long time to come, and move on with our lives.
Cos I've only seen season one. There's three more! Which, admittedly, I don't have access to right at this moment but I'm a Fan With a Mission.
I can hear you all thinking, you know. "Maybe she won't notice if I unfriend her quietly and back away from the computer, before it's too late".
Bad news people. It's too late.
(Except for the two Americans who, clearly insane, have voluntarily friended me. That is, unless they're already offended by my last post and are just waiting for me to look away before unfriending me...but really guys, feel free to mock Australians. Oh wait, Steve Urwin already does!)
Er..back to S/H. You hear about the constant touching, the hugs, the hurt/comfort, but MY GOD!
Actual handholding!! Across the desk at work, while reading reports...
Hutch preparing candlelit dinner for Starsky. That he cooked himself. Of Starsk's favourite food. That he called Starsky's mom in NY to learn.
So, a couple of recs. I've only seen one season, but any stories I rec will be in my opinion, well written, good characterisation, and have (for me) a feel of the time but not dated.
My fave so far, simply hot
Edgy, awkward, believable
Me and thee, always

a not especially S&H related post
May. 12th, 2004 12:35 amSnuggling with special_trille over at jamaicablue. Not as cozy as Dome, and also no magazines with quizzes for Trille to do, but the coffee is better.
Me - Grr. I asked for my latte without froth! Twice!
Waiter - Would you like me to take it back and bring you a new one?
Me (more friendly, mollified by professionalism) No, I'll just pout for a long time.
Admiring random strangers at next table - Good answer!
Me - Ack! Get away from me, freaks.
Short time later
Me - Must start saving now in order to go to America in two years.
Trille - I didn't know you wanted to go to America. You want to go to Canada.
Me - I don't want to go to America. I'm afraid of America. It's just I really should visit my sister.
Trille - Are you afraid of the American authorities, or terrorists?
Me - Er..the people.
pause
Trille - Because of the drive-by shootings and stuff?
Me - It's all 'Deliverance' rednecks and Jerry Springer and reality TV and serial killers and people who can't find America on a map and who think there've been three world wars.
Trille - Well so is Adelaide, particularly the serial killers.
Me - Ooh, we have serial killers here too. Plus we had our first shoot out between armed robbers and security guards the other day. I'm so proud.
pause
Me - Also, I don't want to go to Canada. It's cold in Canada.
Trille - Oh, wait, it's me that wants to go to Canada.
Later, we decide to 'window shop'. Within seconds have both chosen jackets to buy. Trille's looks and feels like a snuggly soft toy. I forsee much petting of the Trille. Meanwhile, I admire myself in the mirror.
Trille - Are you Starsky, or Hutch?
(She's learning, mostly by being talked at a lot, and being shown selected bits, as she cries pitifully if I suggest watching an entire episode).
I get home, share Trille's witticism withdragonfly8.
Dragonfly - Is it brown, with fur on the collar?
Me - Yes, yes it is.
Dragonfly - You're so butch, Starsky.
Trille also helped me impulse buy really tight black jeans as my current pair only stay up if I remember to wear a belt. Bloody stretch jeans, damn them for being so comfy. I promised to give them tocricketk after she stood up at our last party and demonstrated how she could take off her own stretch jeans without undoing the button. I mentioned that I could also do this new party trick and was challenged to prove it. Luckily for me I couldn't find them right then as I had completely forgotton that in addition to the usual slash gang, there was also cricketk's boyfriend present. Major embarrassment averted through pure luck rather than any kind of forethought on my part. Par for the course, really, except that sometimes the pure luck part doesn't happen.

That moment? The moment when you're watching, and something just clicks.
Setting the scene. Case concluded. Intimate celebratory party at Hutch's, a few people involved in the case dancing around the room...to the sounds of Hutch on the guitar as he and Starsky sit singing "Be my love..." to each other, Hutch smiling fondly, Starsky very obviously can barely take his eyes off of his partner.
Have I mentioned my whole new appreciation of Starsky?
earnestly I hardly ever mock his perm anymore.
And I stay in the room for entire episodes now, car chases and cardboard bad guys and all.
It must be love.

Seatbelts, people!
Apr. 28th, 2004 11:18 pmSomeone's gone and lent us first season 'Starsky and Hutch' on DVD. That car certainly gets a lot of screentime.
Emma suggested the other day that the '70s had different standards of attractiveness, as she found both the actors in the show to be Very Unattractive Men.
(Which considering how female standards of beauty constantly change - anyone remember that Dawn French skit where she's the pampered Renaissance artist's model, and Kate Moss is her scrawny unattractive servant?)
Having now been exposed to more classic S&H within a short space of time than I would have thought possible - even taking in to account my regularly ducking out to, oh, hang out washing, check email, wash up, check email, go to the shops for milk, check my Friends page etc I have to admit I am - sort of - developing an appreciation for Hutch. It must be some sort of defence mechanism/survival instinct thing kicking in. He does possess very long shapely legs and an extremely nice bum. And many pairs of tight pants that show off both of these attributes to advantage.
But what's with Starsky's hair? I swear, that perm takes up two thirds of the screen at any given time.
But much can be forgiven of a guy, who when being given the come on by a girl, and his partner calls him 'Angel', smiles sheepishly at the girl, drops her hand, explains simply 'my partner', and goes running.
Cool.

Apr. 26th, 2004 11:40 am'Starsky and Hutch' Laughed ourselves sick. I don't know how impressed the other 12 people in the cinema were with our cheering and clapping!
I'm looking forward to the 'movie fic' which will (and no doubt already has) emerged.
I could never read the fic from the series, mainly I think because both the show canon and writing styles are both dated now.
Someone lent me some old K/S zines recently. Now, I luurrve K/S. My First Fandom. I couldn't even read these stories line for line now. There was Skim Reading, there was Skipping Entire Stories Due to Overused Storylines.
Not to mention the lack of Payoff. Stories ending with both parties staring in other directions, hideously uncomfortable while Kirk mumbles "I might, possibly, in the forseeable future, if no other alternative presents itself, Be There For You so that you do not die in Pon Farr".

of course it's cupidsbow's fault...
Apr. 18th, 2004 01:39 pmIf she hadn't recced that bloody Lanning Cook epic - a WIP dammit! - I'd have got my damn con 'report' finished while anybody still cared. It's nearly 1500k! The story, that is.
So, I have a few hours before I'm due over at my bro's house to hang with the fam. My big thing *this week* is my sis is visiting from Wisconsin for one week only, so I'm pretty much spending all the time I can get off work with her.
I was over there last night but my poor sis, not having slept for 2 days, understandably fell asleep in front of PotC about 7pm. More embarrassing is how my bro and I were practically unconscious by about 8pm, beers unfinished. Out for the count at 8pm on a Saturday night. How pathetic are we?
So I buggered off home, having revived somewhat I decided to swing by Trille's place as I remembered that her lovely housemate had organised a DS viewing night specifically, as I understand it, to introduce our newbie,psycho_tabby, to a 2nd fandom. Cos having only one fandom is clearly unacceptable.
A good plan, that unaccountably fell apart when the evening descended into a rabid UNO war. Check out Tabby's lj for a clear concise report.
So instead of 'stopping by' I ended up not dragging myself home til about 1.30am. At which time it seemed imperative to do much washing type activities for a couple of hours.
So, bit of a lie in, for a change, followed by lazy morning of hot cross buns and Starsky and Hutch on TV1. So the last scene of the ep has Starsky take Hutch's arm and say "C'mon my big, blond boy, I'm taking you home and tucking you in.."
