Castle On A Cloud...

[jackwabbit]

So, Nathan Fillion has a new show coming out in a bit.  It's a mid-season release on ABC called Castle.  I'm not the best at writing summaries, and you can easily find them with a quick Google, so I'll leave that to the experts on such things.

But what's a book-loving Nathan Nation member who just happens to love Jimmy Buffett to do when she comes across the picture below?

Why, share it, of course, with the perfect complementary quote!

"Love in the library, quiet and cool.  Love in the library, there are no rules.  Surrounded by stories, surreal and sublime, I fell in love in the library, once upon a time..." (Jimmy Buffett, Love In The Library)



Oh, and the song later goes on to say:

"So write your own ending and hope it comes true..."

Sigh...I can do that...

And to those who understood the title of this message, ain't Les Mis just grand?

Books, Nathan, and Jimmy tunes...sigh...Castle On A Cloud indeed, Cosette.

In-effing-deed.

I love that pic!

I'm only sort of cautiously looking forward to Castle. My inner cynic has taken over with regards to good shows. If I like it, it goes away. So maybe I should do everyone a favor and not like this show?

I hear ya. I'm a bit skeptical, too, for your reasons and in general. That said...love, love, love this pic more than anything, so...I'm good.

sweet! I can't wait :D

My jury's still out, but I will be judging this one in person for sure, at least to start. As much as I love him, Nate alone won't do it for me, but he can't hurt, and this one looks decent. We'll see.

[sgteam14283.livejournal.com]

yup. I'll admit that I watched the last season of 'Desperate Housewives' just for him ^-^

[jackwabbit.livejournal.com]

I didn't, but that's mostly because I don't really watch TV (only DVDs). I'll make an exception for Castle, though...but I did watch Slither just for Nate, and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't do horror or scary of any type, but Slither was just downright FUNNY. Don't get me wrong, it's every bad horror movie ever made, but it doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's FUNNY.

And Waitress, well...just a damn fine film. I'm so glad my Fillionitis led me to it, because it is just damn fine cinema...it is so hauntingly sad when you think of the real world events surrounding it, and such a powerful little story...sigh...love it, love it, love it. So. Good.

I still have to watch Outing Riley and Water's Edge, though, but I'll get there. Once I watch See Grace Fly to fulfill my McGillion duties, that is. Got to have your priorities, you know. *grin*

that is true ;)

Yeah, those rhyming boys...can't get enough of 'em! They are my two main men (so far and away above all others that it isn't even funny) simply because of real life actions, but that works for me, and please don't ask me to choose! (Ok, ok, ok...I'll choose! I've only met one of 'em, you know. Pauley!)

*le swoon*

You KNOW how I feel about that song and that pic/quote combo.

You remember the first time you played that song for me? I believe that you put it on a comp CD of sorts but it had flown under my radar to be honest. But I was taking you to the airport, I think on a visit shortly after you moved away, and we were sitting in the car out, um, in a Bass Pro parking lot, I wanna say? In any case, you, me, the KJ, and that song.

Special.

[jackwabbit.livejournal.com]

I do, in fact, remember that.

It was, in fact, in the parking lot of Bass Pro Shops near DFW airport while we were waiting for it to be time for my flight because we were running unprecedentedly ahead of schedule.

It was hot...and we were rocking...

And it was after Jimmy Buffett 2007, AKA the Frisco Feeding Frenzy, AKA the weekend of the PLE, and therefore was, in fact: April 30, 2007.

And there you go. Special, indeed.

You know you love me...

[lemonpiefirefly.livejournal.com]

Yes. I. Do.

That's right, that was the PLE!
Nice callback on the JB quotem there

More later ;)

[jackwabbit.livejournal.com]

Got that quotem, did ya? Well, ain't that a mite bit interestin, specially since I didn't suss it out so plain-like...guess you'll be doin my job fore we know it.

Then again, you forgot that that was the PLE, so...

Maybe not. *G*

You'll know, of course, being a deeply intelligent and savvy human being, that Mr Buffett's bezzie mates with one Mr Harrison Ford?! Haven't heard much of his stuff, but will now go do so, 'cos you like him too.
Love the picture (if there's a national association of libraries in America, that's the picture they need to use) and love the use of the word "Fillionitis" - dearly hope there's never a cure...

[jackwabbit.livejournal.com]

I did know that...and Nathan worships at the altar of Ford, so...full circle, much? BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!

[jackwabbit.livejournal.com]

Oh, and there is an American Library Association. Link at left. You'll also find Nathan's charity, Kids Need To Read, but you know that, also being an intelligent and savvy Fillionaire.

"Love in the library?" I'll have to find that one from Mr. Buffet. What's needed though is a few copies of "The Softwire" on the shelves of the set.

[jackwabbit.livejournal.com]

It's on the album Fruitcakes, which has a horrible new cover art (shudder) but is decent overall. Of course, I'm sure you can download by the track, too. And I completely agree that a few Haarsma books are most definitely needed on the set. Perhaps in time...

It can be like trying to spot the pineapples in SG-1...

and I wander in off topic, I find it interesting that the show is being presented in a library setting. With some many people now having internet- information is so easy to find.
I wonder how they are going to make this work... if nothing else it has my interest peeked on just that idea. (I so loved libraries as a child).

[jackwabbit.livejournal.com]

Off topic is always ok by me. I'm not one of those 'thou shalt not wander' types...how boring.

Anyway, that is an interesting point. I've seen other pics that aren't library-based, but there is a definite literary feel to the show, despite the crime drama idea. (Nate's character is an author, and he belongs to a poker group made up of other authors, one of which will be a guest-starring Stephen King, for example.)

Hm...good question.

I also loved libraries as a kid (and now), but that was out of necessity. My mom used to drop us off there for an hour or two when she showed a house (she was a realtor). I didn't mind.

That's where I met The Black Stallion, Ramona Quimby, Henry and Ribsy, Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Big Red, The Great Dane Thor, Buck, and WHITE FANG. I met Captain Nemo and Mr. Wonka. It's where I sailed down the Mississippi with Huck Finn and decided that Tom Sawyer had nothing on his buddy.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry...did I mention some banned books there? What a terrible mom I had to let me read that! I take it back! How horrid for her to leave me in the library with only my significantly older siblings for company! (Don't get me started on banned books...steps off soapbox now.)

See what I mean about it's ok to wander?

*G*
