the_deep_magic: A nightmare inexplicably torn from the pages of Kafka! (Carnivale - Jonesy)
[personal profile] the_deep_magic
Well, I'm off of work for the next 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how soon in the new semester they can find money to pay me.  Yay, it's a surprise! :oP  I may have to resort to Plan B, namely standing out front of the Chuck E. Cheese and making balloon animals for tips.  Is that considered soliciting?

Anyhoo, I finally got around to watching a couple episodes of White Collar today, and hm.  Yes.  That is.  Quite amazingly slashy, actually.  Anybody have any good fic recs?  I've already found A Sure Thing and Figure It Out by [livejournal.com profile] lightgetsin (both of which are fantastic -- a perfect balance of character development and super-hot pr0n).

Bomer's cute and all, but I've had a bit of a thing for Tim DeKay since Carnivale.  Did anyone else watch that?  Okay, it kind of turned into an apocalyptic train wreck there at the end, but it was never boring.  I never read any fic or got involved in the fandom, but I shipped Jonesy/Rita Sue so hard, you have no idea.  When she takes off his leg brace to kiss the scars on his knee and he's like two seconds away from completely breaking down?  OMG, swoon.  Shit, now I'm going to have to go find that episode.

Hard to take the show completely seriously, though -- the voice of the demonic villain priest dude sounded super-familiar, so I IMDb'd him.  He moonlights as Mr. Krabs from Spongebob.  Arrrr arararararar....

EDIT: Sorry, Jachary-fied Spock, I'm bringing back my Jonesy icon.  Also, I found the scene I was talking about here, and it's actually SFW.

Okay, it's been awhile since I've watched the series, so this is as best as I can recall.  Jonesy is in charge of the rousties, who set up and break down the tents and equipment.  He used to be a baseball player, but some goons busted his knee and he had to have all kinds of invasive 1920's surgery to walk again.  He wears a brace and is super-ashamed of it.  Rita Sue is a dancer in the cooch show (exactly what it sounds like) who is married to the carnival barker, and they have what could loosely be termed an "open marriage" (essentially, he's her pimp).  For reasons that escape me, her husband orders her to seduce Jonesy, which pisses her off, but she sees how broken and affection-starved he is and goes through with it.  Anyway, they end up having this doomed little love affair that only lasts a few episodes but is so amazingly sweet.

Wow, I kind of actually miss this show.

I'm very anxious to watch White Collar. As soon as I finish up season 2 of True Blood, it's next on my Netflix list. :)

Carnivale huh? Sounds interesting. That may also have to get added to the Netflix queue.

Yeah, I really need to Netflix the first season so I know what's going on. And Carnivale is good, but pretty frustrating. As I remember, it makes Lost look simplistic and light-hearted.
