Mythbusters!

dragojustineSo this week I've been doing a ton of boring paperwork and housecleaning. You know, the sort of thing that takes just enough mental energy that you can't concentrate on a book or serious TV show, but is just too boring to endure without entertainment? So I've rewatched an entire season of Mythbusters.
Oh God, I FORGOT how much I love that show. It's just complete fun. No emo, no angst, no drama, no artificial conflict, no ridiculous arbitrary rules, just pure, distilled, concentrated fun. You could BOTTLE that fun and make a mint. It's that rare show where it's impossible not to just love every single person involved. I have a crush on every single one of them. Kari is so sexy! And Tory is so entertaining! And Grant is so sweet-geeky-cute! And then, of course, Jamie and Adam (because no matter how much I love the build team, the original boys really have my heart).
They are both so attractive. Honestly. This is one of those rare instances when looks completely don't matter- they are both so, incredibly, blazingly hot. They're intelligent, fantastically skilled with their hands, supremely self-confident without a trace of arrogance, adventurous, good-natured and fun-loving, interested in the world around them, widely experienced... you could not DESIGN two more attractive men.
And just now? Just now, in some totally random myth to do with guns and steam, Adam made an ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny joke. Just out of the blue, apropos of nothing. At random. Off the top of his head (look, I know it's quasi-scripted, but I am dead certain that he wrote the joke off the top of his head completely at random, even if they then set up the shot for it).
For a show that does SO MUCH dumbing down (and does it actually astonishingly well), I LOVE those glimpses of just HOW smart and HOW well-read and HOW interested in the world those boys are. *loves forever*
Random by-the-way: When is the next porn battle? I thought it was supposed to start on the 21st, but I haven't heard any prompt collection or scuttlebutt at all. Am I not getting my fannish memos?
Random ETA: Yes, my love of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog KNOWS NO BOUNDS. I am all a-squee. Where the hell is my "these are not the hammer" icon? Because that is, like, the fannish line of the year as far as I'm concerned.
