TS Snippet

carodee and I were wondering how Blair would rebel with a mom like Naomi and I wrote her a teeny snippet set in 1979 where Naomi turns into a less understanding mom, as we all do when pushed.

The research took longer than the fic because I got carried away :-)

I'm Loving It

"Blair Sandburg, go to your room!"

Blair blinked. Go to his room? Why would he do that in the middle of the day? "Why?" he asked, trying for a reasonable voice. Naomi's eyes looked a little wild and she was quiver-taut with exasperation, her hands clenched into fists.

"Because I just told you to!"

That still didn't make sense, but Naomi had always told him that he could ask an infinite number of questions because the universe was infinite and so was her patience.

"Yes, but --"

"Young man, if you don't do as I say, you're grounded for a week, do you hear me? A week!"

Grounded? Naomi had always said that parental punishments were a brutal abuse of power and guaranteed to make children grow up rebelling against an unjust system of oppression and repression, which didn't seem like a bad thing to Blair, but he'd accepted that unlike the other kids, he had no set bedtime and gone to bed when he was tired, which was usually around the same time as his friends anyway.

"Can we meditate about it and come to mutual enlightenment about what's harshing the vibes between us?" he asked hopefully. His room was tiny and bare; all the fun stuff was out here.

Naomi sucked in an enraged breath and pointed stiffly to his room. "Young man, march!"

Marching was a tool of the military, designed to eliminate individuality, but Blair marched.

"And don't let me ever catch you in that place again! Think of the rain forests!"

Blair sighed as he closed the door behind him. He didn't even like the food in the Happy Meals, but he'd almost collected all of the Star Trek boxes, darn it...

Harper's Island

Did anyone watch the Grammys? They did a commercial for Harper's Island, the new show with Richard Burgi and just about everyone in Vancouver who's been on Supernatural or Eureka and RB was shown. Can't see it on YouTube yet, just the 40 second teaser that's been up for a while and is sadly Richard-free.

Was he in it for long?

Richard and Jared in Friday the 13th

Bert just linked to three behind the scenes clips from the movie. Lots of screaming and spoilers but there are a few nice shots of Jared and his shoulders and the third one has some short clips of how they did RB's er, final scene. We're talking flashes here, not anything long, but even so, good to see. The clips are here
