welcome to the master plan

So I knitted a bunny for my cousin's fourth birthday. It's my first try with a stuffed animal, and it came out a little deformed, but I still think it's cute. Next project is a stuffed cat.

Everyone knows I love Whose Line. I have the first two seasons and half of the third downloaded, and I've watched them all many times. Tonight, following some links, I downloaded some of the episodes from the last season - season eight. And, though it's still awesome and funny, it also breaks my heart. The energy, the lightheartedness, the joy of the early seasons has all but disappeared for my two favorite performers. You can tell that they're just sick of it. It's not the improv, either - I think it has to be the show itself. It's well know that Ryan long wanted to take over producing duties from Dan Patterson, and he certainly could have done it. For some reason, they hung onto games that weren't even that funny and that the performers were miserable doing (Hoedown is the one that immediately comes to mind, but there were others). I hate that some asshole producer can take the passion away from a person like that. Part of the reason I love the show so much is that there's nothing better than watching people do what they love, and in the early seasons, you know there's nowhere these guys would rather be. It's not fair that that couldn't continue.

On the plus side, there's still some serious slash going on (boykissing!), and all that angst is perfect for fic purposes. I so want to write a fic that takes place just as the show's ending, and the boys know they're going to have to go their seperate ways.

Finally, I've been working on a new fic while I'm at work. It's a wrestling story featuring six of my favorites from TNA: AJ Styles, Christian Cage, Kurt Angle, Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin, and Alex Shelley. Premise: The TNA guys don't make as much money as WWE guys, so they end up carpooling to some of the shows. These six, all crammed into a van, get stuck in a snowstorm on the way to an Ohio house show and end up trapped in a hotel for a few very eventful days. Much slash ensues, everything from cute and fluffy (Sabin/Shelley) to angry and violent (Kurt/AJ) to epic love (AJ/Daniels or AJ/Christian - I can't decide!)
