You give me miles and miles of mountains and I ask for the sea.

Subject line care of Damien Rice.

I have a little housekeeping to do with this blog, so I submit to you the following:

Anyone who knows me even vaguely knows that my randomness quotient is significantly higher than the average person. So, I will certainly be posting some random things, to be sure.

I also enjoy television and movies. And thanks to the overwhelming power of Hey Paula (and the, quite frankly, poor job of the two recaplets currently sitting out at Television Without Pity), I think that it might be time for me to step up as a recapper. This is not the only show that I feel is inadequately recapped: The L Word on AfterEllen.com is overall very meh towards the character of Max and, IMO, far too forgiving of the character of Jenny's... existence. Don't get me wrong - TWoP has been a fabulous home for recaps, but the number of recaps I can stand to read is reducing in number. Sure, Top Chef, Top Design, and Project Runway will always be fond reads, but I feel that I could do some excellent recapping. Also, I think TWoP limits itself a little to what looks promising. In fact, dare I say, I've wanted to recap The Riches from FX.

So I am extending an open invitation to my readers - presently, mostly readers of my friends-only blog - to give me feedback on what you would want recapped. Here's the short list of shows whose recent seasons I have lying around the house:
- The Riches (FX)
- The L Word (Showtime)
- Dexter (Showtime)
I'm also open to recapping films, and I have quite the collection. Joe shares my supreme love of the ostensibly bad The Long Kiss Goodnight. I also have to confess my shock and dismay at the Brokeback Mountain vs. Crash battle for the Oscar. I think that neither film deserved the Oscar, and I'd be more than willing to snark them apart to prove it. Do I think they're both culturally significant movies? Yes! Do I own them both? Yes! Have I masturbated to the blink-and-you'll-miss-it length sex scene in Brokeback Mountain? Yes! Are these Oscar-worthy films? No!

So, if you're seeking a recap, please leave a comment. Otherwise I will be forced to build my recapping arsenal on Red Bull and Bravo alone.
