 Why the hell would a hardware store close at 6 pm on a weekday? No, I really want to know. Because I had the whole evening worked out so that I could get my work done, buy my art supplies, and get back home in time to complete most of said art projects...but, no, turns out that ACE closes at 6. On weekdays.

This makes no sense to me. I knew my college was in a Sleepy Small Town, but I had no idea of the true extent of said sleepiness. Oi. 

Still so tired. Still catching up on work. Still have no idea how I fell this far behind. Still wondering where my Senior Year Working Drive went. Still ashamed of my apparent Sophomore Slump.

You know, I may have to start a new tradition round these parts once I (somehow) have spare time again: Miami Captions. Because tonight's episode had some absolutely brilliant captioning potential.

(After conversation with Stetler)
Horatio (on the phone): Hey, Natalia? Feel like blackmailing one of your old coworkers for me? Great. No, actually, I don't think you'll need the bullwhip this time.

(When arresting designer)
Eric: We found out what you're doing with those clothes.
Calleigh: Ooh! Ooh! Can I make the terrible joke? I wanna do it!
Eric: ...
Calleigh: Pleeeeease?
Eric:...oh, fine.
Calleigh (to designer): So is heroin the new black? (fistpump) Yes! I have been waiting all day to say that!
Designer: Are you all really that bored?
Eric: Unfortunately, yes. We kind of are. 

(During the scene where Horatio...oh, let's just say it - blackmails LeBrock)
Horatio: I mean, let's just think about this for a minute, Joe - while you were busy getting my kid in trouble, your kid turned right around and potentially got you in trouble. Oh, the irony here is just perfect. I could write a poem. I could write a book. But I won't. Because it's much more satisfying to just sit here and wave this picture in your face and watch you squirm. God, I love my job.

...and that's only a few of them. The screencaps need to be out RIGHT NOW.

One final fandom-related note. Doctor Who? "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood", of which I finally saw the whole thing? I was totally crying. I don't even care who knows it.

The whole town of brooklyn closes around 8-10, (I am in a medium-size city). That sucks it closed at 6pm.

See, that's about the same time *home* closes, so I'd be used to something like that. But 6? Just ain't right.

Ace is so *not* the place. Even out here in the L.A. area, they'll close at 6:00. I've had to go to OSH/Orchard Supply Hardware, because they stay open until at least 8:00 on weeknights.

Really? Like most people who've never been, I operated under the assumption that L.A. just stayed open 24/7. But I guess maybe every ACE closes at that time, kind of like how every Chick-Fil-A closes on Sundays...hmm.

It had to be ACE though, at least this time - they were the only ones who carried the spray paint I needed. I managed to retrieve it today.

Your captions are MADE OF WIN. Especially the first one (although Horatio gleefully thinking of composing a poem is pretty good too). There was quite a lot of blackmailing in this ep, wasn't there?

There was, and that puzzled and confused me. Then again, this whole plot arc is starting to puzzle and confuse me, so there you go.

How much you want to bet we haven't seen the last of Nat's FBI contact? I'm fairly certain he'll turn up again before the end of the season.

Yeah... Ace closes way too fucking early. o.o I mean, a person could get outta work at like 5... what time does that leave them to shop???

It's crazy. Just crazy.

Doesn't leave them much time at all. Terribly inconvenient, it is.

On another note, tell the banana in your icon that death is not the answer...

Horatio: AND...I have an iPhone, see :D!
Joe: ;_; I want an iPhone.

Everyone was picking on Ryan, even mommy >=( she says we need to have a Horatio day when you come home for winter break. I totally agree because she still doesn't get that Ryan and Horatio need to make out furiously.

Hopefully by then I'll have our magic glasses too XD!

...that's right, he did have an iPhone. I hadn't even noticed. Huh.

...I want one.

Nahaa. And we shall. Heck, with a little creative costuming, I could be the Ryan to your Horatio. It would be a beautiful thing.

It's to complicated =/ too many buttons.

That idea...is made of so much win it's not even funny D:!!!!

I know, but it's just so shiny and fun that I think I could manage the buttons if I had to. (Who am I kidding, no I wouldn't...)

Hee! Glad you think so! Of course, I have no idea how we'd go about it...do I even own a sweatervest? I don't think I do.
