Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy

Tomos Williams sy'n dweud mwy am brosiect Cwmwl Tystion a'r hyn sy'n aros amdanoch ddiwedd Mai!

Cyfuniad o alawon gwerin a jazz gwreiddiol sydd i'w ddisgwyl yn Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy. Dwi wir yn gyffrous i rannu'r llwyfan gyda dwy o leisiau ifanc mwya' creadigol a pwerus Cymru yn Pontio sef Mared Williams ac Eädyth Crawford. Ma' lleisiau'r ddwy ohonyn nhw yn bwerus iawn, a ma' nhw'n rhoi cymaint o'i personoliaeth i bob cân.

Ma Melvin Gibbs yn gawr ar y bas. Mae'n dod draw o Brooklyn, Efrog Newydd yn unswydd ar gyfer y daith yma, a galla i ddim cweit credu ei fod wedi cytuno i deithio Cymru fel rhan o 'Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy'. Ma fe wir yn 'legend' o fewn sîn cerddorol Efrog Newydd ac yn ehangach. Roedd yn faswr gyda band Henry Rollins nôl yn y 90au pan oedd y band yna yn chware holl wyliau mawr Prydain fel Glastonbury a Reading ar y pryd, ond mae e' hefyd wedi chware gyda mawrion y byd jazz fel Ornette Coleman, Bill Frisell, Dave Douglas a John Zorn.

Ar hyn o bryd mae'n aelod o driawd o'r enw 'Harriet Tubman' – power trio, neu avant-rock trio (sy’n cynnwys, gitâr, bâs a dryms yn unig) ac yn cael ei ystyried yn un o fandiau gorau'r byd. Yn wir roedd cerddoriaeth trwm y band yma yn ddylanwad mawr arna i pan nes i ddechrau meddwl am y prosiect 'Cwmwl Tystion' ac ysgrifennu jazz newydd oedd yn delio gyda'n hanes ni fel Cymry. Felly ma fe'n anhygoel i feddwl y bydd Melvin Gibbs yn dod draw i ymuno â'r band ac i deithio Cymru. Byddwch chi erioed wedi gweld na clywed baswr sy'n swnio cweit fel Melvin – ma fe'n defnyddio llu o bedalau electronig i greu sŵn hollol unigryw”.

Ma Nguyên Lê yn enedigol o Ffrainc ond â'i wreiddiau yn Vietnam. Ma fe'n 'monster' ar y gitâr ac yn fyd-enwog. Mae'n cael ei adnabod fel gitarydd 'world fusion' sydd wedi cyfuno dylanwadau o gerddoriaeth Vietnam â gitâr rock/trydanol fel Jimi Hendrix. Ma' fe'n virtuso llwyr ac yn athrylith. Dwi wedi ei weld yn fyw amryw o weithiau – yng Ngŵyl Jazz Aberhonddu ac yn Llundain a mae e’n berfformiwr unigryw. Mae ei unawdau yn mynd â chi i'r uchelfannau – “transcendental” fel bydde nhw'n gweud. Galla i ddim aros i glywed Nguyên yn cyfeilio i leisiau Mared ac Eädyth ac yna’n chware unawdau dros alawon gwerin Cymru. Bydd clywed y cyfuniad o alawon gwerin Cymru, jazz a cherddoriaeth byd yn ei ddwylo fe yn brofiad arbennig iawn.

Fel yr arfer byddaf i yn cyfansoddi gwaith newydd ar gyfer Cwmwl Tystion III – yr “Empathy Suite' – bydd yn cyfuno alawon gwerin Cymraeg, gyda jazz a roc, a byddaf yn cyfeirio at rhai digwyddiadau yn ein hanes fel cenedl: y Welsh Not, Streic y Glowyr, trychineb Aberfan a bydd y gerddoriaeth yn ymateb ac yn adlewyrchu'r digwyddiadau yma. Bydd Mark O'Connor yn ymuno ar y dryms gyda celf weledol fyw Simon Proffitt yn ategu at pob perfformiad. Ma'r elfen weledol yma wir yn bwysig i'r prosiect ac yn adio rhywbeth i'r perfformiadau byw.

Hwn bydd y drydedd a'r ola' yn fy nghyfres 'Cwmwl Tystion'. Teithiodd yr un gynta' Cwmwl Tystion / Witness nôl yn 2019 – cafodd CD ei ryddhau o'r daith yna yn 2021 a gafodd yr albym ei ddewis ar gyfer rhestr fer 'Albym Gymraeg Gorau'r flwyddyn'. Yna yn 2021 fe wnaeth yr ail bennod Cwmwl Tystion II / Riot! Fynd ar daith jyst wrth i'r cyfnod clo ddod i ben ar ddiwedd 2021. Cafodd CD o'r gerddoriaeth yna ei ryddhau y llynedd a cafodd y cyfansoddiad yna ei enwebu ar gyfer gwobr cyfansoddi Ivor Novello. Felly dyma'r drydedd a'r bennod ola'. Dwi'n teimlo y bydd 'trioleg' yn gweddu’n reit dda – mae pob band wedi bod yn hollol wahanol ar gyfer pob pennod. Ma Mark O'Connor ar y dryms a Simon Proffitt ar y celf weledol fyw wedi bod gyda fi ers y dechrau, a teithiodd Eädyth Crawford gyda Cwmwl Tystion II, ond heblaw am hynny mae aelodau'r band yn newid pob tro – sy’n arbennig o gyffrous ac yn cynnig cyfleodd i weithio gyda cherddorion arbennig iawn fel Melvin Gibbs a Nguyên Lê.

Bydd Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy yn dechrau eu taith yn Pontio, Bangor ar nos Iau 30 Mai, 7.30pm. Bachwch docynnau ar pontio.co.uk

The President Wears Prada (William Nylander) | Chapter 22

A/N:  So this chapter actually marks the end of the plot line of the movie “The Devil Wears Prada” -- I’m sure the dialogue after the Zamboni driver game from last chapter and the “By all means, move at a glacial place, you know how that thrills me” line was a bit of a hint.  Also, we’re striking that last scene where Andie apologizes to Nate in the restaurant because she had absolutely nothing to apologize for 😤 ANYWAYS, this means that from this point, up until maaaaaybe the final FINAL chapters (whenever this thing ends, because I still don’t know when), all content and storyline is original and not based on the movie, although it will still obviously be inspired by it.  We love consistency!  Have a great read, and enjoy!  Let me know what you think as always!

February 24th, 2020

Aberdeen Bloom watched as Brendan and Kyle were answering phones left, right, and centre.

Seriously.  At one point, Kyle had three on his ears.  He didn’t have three ears.  All because of the damned trade deadline.  And it was still only 9:30 in the morning.  

The room was set up the way she was told to set it up; prepared how Brendan wanted it prepared.  Every major voice for both the Leafs and the Marlies was in the room – Brendan, Kyle, Brandon, Dave, Reid, Leanne, Sheldon, Paul, Dave, Andrew, Jim, Troy, and even Laurence, Mike, Greg, AJ, and Rob from the Toronto Marlies.  At the front of the room, on the whiteboard, there were the names of all the players – even those in the system – glued to magnets so they could move them around.  On the other side were magnets with names of some other players from teams that they’d been looking at bringing in through a trade.  Three phones were hooked up in the room, and Brendan and Kyle were on their cellphones a lot.  There was a TV set up for video playback and hooked up to Reid’s laptop.  Brendan would exit and enter the board room at will while he was on his phone.  So would Kyle.  Kyle was dealing with most of the possible cap stuff.  There were worksheets everywhere.  

And in the back of Aberdeen’s mind, all she could think about was Tyson Barrie.

He’d been on her mind since the drive home, really, and since all the ramp up for the trade deadline started.  And she couldn’t help but wonder if Brendan and Kyle knew of him wanting to be traded and him being unhappy.  Did Brendan and Kyle concern themselves with the private lives of their players?  Even if the player said nothing?  That was the ultimate question Aberdeen needed answered, because now that she recognized all the clues, it was glaringly obvious to her how much Tyson wanted out.  She hadn’t said anything, obviously.  His name magnet wasn’t moving around much, but she knew how much he wanted to be moved.  She was conflicted.  

“This motherfu…” she heard Brendan mumble as he looked down at his phone.  “Can someone post a memo to the entire fucking league that we’re not trading Nylander, for fuck sakes,” he announced to the room.  “The core isn’t on the fucking table unless Connor Mc-fucking-David is in the mix.”

Aberdeen let out a shaky breath she didn’t know she was holding in.  William being traded was not, for some reason, a worry of hers, if only because everyone knew he was having a banner year and Kyle had made explicitly clear that he wasn’t going to be traded so long as he was GM.  

Kapanen.

Johnsson.  

Gauthier.

Holl.

Ceci.

“It’s not in his contract but Spezza won’t go anywhere.  He wants to be here.”

“If Johnsson goes it’s one less player we offer up to Seattle when the time comes.”

“Can Kappy go?  He’s good bait.  He’s got a friendly contract.”

It didn’t help that everything ended at 3pm.  It also didn’t help that they had a charter flight waiting for them at 4:30 to take them to Tampa for their game tomorrow.  Aberdeen didn’t know how they were going to handle this timeline.  What if they made a blockbuster trade?  What if someone was shipped off to the west coast at 2:59pm and had to uproot his whole life?  Everybody in the room wasn’t exactly calm, but she didn’t know how they could take about trading these players as if they were cattle being moved.  She knew this happened in all sports, but now that she was a part of it (well, in the room – it wasn’t like she was making decisions), it made everything more complicated for her.  

“Tyson’s staying.  Tyson – no – Tyson – Tyson is – Tyson is staying,” she heard Brendan repeating to Kyle, in what looked like a semi-private conversation.  She couldn’t hear some of the other things he was saying, but some words were said loud enough.  Contract.  Avalanche.  Kadri trade.  Defense.  Rielly-Barrie.  

Happy.

Aberdeen gulped.  Did Brendan think he was happy here?  Did Kyle?  Because she knew the exact opposite.  She knew Tyson wasn’t, but she was sworn to secrecy by Tyson that she wouldn’t say a word to Brendan.  But Brendan was wrong.  Tyson wanted out.  

Should…should she say something?

She liked Tyson.  She wanted to see him happy.  It was complicated, though, because she had no loyalty to him.  She did, in a way, as an acquaintance – as someone who overheard a private conversation and then was asked not to share the details of it – but she had more loyalty to Brendan.  Her boss.  The guy who was trying to build a team that would win the Stanley Cup.  The guy that her job depended on.  

“Aberdeen.”

Like, who was she loyal to the most?  If she actually said something to Brendan, would Tyson hate her forever?  Would the entire team turn their back on her and hate her forever too?  Because she couldn’t shut her mouth?  Because she was a tattle-tale and exposed—

“Aberdeen.”

—exposed a secret of one of the players to the boss?  But that secret was tied to his mental health.  It’s not like she saw a guy hook up with a teammate’s girlfriend or escort or do blow off a toilet seat or something.  This was integral to the well-being of a player—

“Aberdeen!”

She snapped out of her thoughts to see and hear Brendan calling her over.  She jumped out of her seat and ran over to him.  “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.  Sorry.  What do you need?”

“I think Chipotle is in order for lunch for everyone,” he said.  “Do you mind taking everyone’s orders?”

Seventeen Chipotle orders later, Aberdeen was waiting in the restaurant at a bar table, most definitely holding up the line that was starting to form due to her massive order.  She took out her phone and saw that William had texted her a heart earlier but she hadn’t seen it.  He had the day off.

how bad does tyson want out of Toronto? be honest

how do u know?

i overheard him and emma talking when they drove me home once is it really bad?

can i call u?

no

it’s not that he doesn’t like it here bc he loves the guys and he likes the city well he really didn’t like babs i think that’s a given but he found it really hard to transition from colorado to here like he couldn’t adjust and support wise he didn’t or doesn’t feel he’s been supported enough and he’s trying his hardest to mesh within the lines and be the guy he was in colorado but he just can’t and it’s driving him crazy

Aberdeen felt herself take a deep breath.  Not that she thought the conversation in the car was out of the blue or a one-off, but at least she had confirmation from another source now.  She couldn’t help but wonder if Tyson talked to the guys on the team about it.  Like, was it an open secret between them?  

why r u asking minskatt

She knew she’d have to lie about that one.  Even though William was her boyfriend, she couldn’t reveal any secrets of what was happening in that war room.  If she did, Brendan would probably put her head in a guillotine.  

all i see on twitter and the sports channels is us moving him they think they’re in the war room with us but they’re not and it’s just funny to me that they already think it’s a done deal

welcome to the toronto media i am getting traded too, haven’t u heard 😉

Aberdeen smiled.  He was such a little shit.  

you’re never leaving me.

never, minskatt ❤️

“Alright, I got seventeen bowls!” the cashier yelled, and Aberdeen knew that was her cue.  They were all stuffed into multiple bags and labelled appropriately, so she handed over the company card to pay.  Holding the four bags in both hands, she made her way back towards the office.  

When she got back, it was very chaotic.  The reports were now everywhere.  Half the people in the room had left to do God knows what.  Kyle was frustrated on the phone with someone.  And Brendan was nowhere to be seen.  “You might want to find him,” Kyle said as Aberdeen handed him his burrito bowl.  His hand was covering the receiver.  

Aberdeen nodded frantically.  She stopped putting all the burrito bowls on the table where people had been sitting, but for some reason grabbed Brendan’s before she began running around the halls, popping into rooms to search for him.  He was nowhere.  She tried texting and calling.  Nothing.  She thought about screaming his name down the hall.  Her mind was getting the best of her.  Why did Kyle need him?  Who was he on the phone with?  

Were they about to make a trade for Tyson?

She needed to find him.  She needed to tell him.

After circling the halls twice, she finally saw him walking, his winter jacket on, phone to his ear before ending the call and walking towards the board room.  “Brendan, Brendan, wait.  I need to talk to you,” she scurried to his side.  “Tyson Barrie wants to be moved.  He told—I overheard a conversation between him and his girlfriend in the car once when they were driving me home after a flight about how deeply unhappy he was here and how he sort of knew he was going to get traded or at least wanted to get traded somewhere so he wouldn’t have to be here and have the pressure on him and maybe be happy again and I promised him I wouldn’t say anything to you but now I am because I thought that maybe if I told you, that you could fix it—”

“Do I smell chicken?” Brendan asked suddenly, taking off his jacket.  

Aberdeen stopped.  Her brain felt like it just short-circuited.  “What?  No.  I—I specifically told them the beef bowl for you—”

“If I have chicken in mine, I will be very disappointed,” he said, taking his burrito bowl from her hands and giving her his jacket instead before disappearing into the conference room, leaving Aberdeen standing there in shock.  

***

The New York Rangers traded Brady Skjei for a first round pick.  The Edmonton Oilers acquired Tyler Ennis, who Aberdeen knew was one of Bee McTavish’s best friends.  Patrick Marleau went to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

But the Leafs stayed quiet.  Calle Rosen came back.  That’s it.  Tyson wasn’t moved.  He was staying a Toronto Maple Leaf.  Aberdeen wondered what he was feeling right now.  She wondered if he and Emma already had their bags packed for nothing.  As everybody went home, Aberdeen cleaned up the boardroom.  When it was time to go to the airport, she went to her desk to grab her suitcase.  Brendan was waiting outside his office.  

The walk to the town car was quiet.  The loading of their suitcases into the trunk was quiet.  The getting into the back of the car together was quiet.  The sitting there as Lou drove through the downtown streets and onto the highway to get to the airport was quiet.  

“You thought I didn’t know…” Brendan began, his voice low as he stared out the window.  When she heard his voice, Aberdeen turned her head slowly towards him.  “I’ve known what was happening for quite some time.  It just took me a while to find out what to do with Tyson.  A few teams were interested, and were probably willing, come July, to make him absurdly overpaid that he would have jumped at it.  But I had to tell everyone he was unavailable.”

Aberdeen felt a shiver run up her spine.  Unavailable?  If Brendan knew Tyson wanted to be moved – if he knew how unhappy he was – then why wouldn’t he move him?  

“The truth is, there is no-one available in the league right now that can fill his place on our team, regardless of how unhappy he is,” Brendan continued.  “Any of the other players would have found this job impossible and the team would have suffered.  Especially because of the way the media is here.  The list of writers, journalists, media personalities, analysts…they eat the players alive.  It takes a very special type of player to want to play in Toronto.  That’s why it was, and is still, such a big deal that John came home.  Hockey is a business, Aberdeen.  I’ve known for a while he was unhappy.  But I couldn’t trade him.  I couldn’t reconsider.”

Aberdeen took a deep breath.  And there it was.  Tyson Barrie was more valuable deeply unhappy here than he was happy somewhere else.  The realization hit her like a ton of bricks.  Hockey was a business, just like Brendan said.  Despite her best intentions, good people had to make tough decisions – Brendan’s was to keep Tyson on the team.  Brendan wanted to win more than anything, and he still thought he could do that with Tyson.

“But I was very, very impressed, by how intently you tried to warn me,” Brendan continued, finally looking at her.  Aberdeen found it hard to meet his eye, not showing any emotion on her face.  “I never thought I would say this, Aberdeen, but I really…I see a great deal of myself in you.  You can see beyond what people want and what they need…and you can choose for yourself.”

Aberdeen shook her head slightly.  “I don’t think I’m like that.  I – I could do what you just did to Tyson.  I couldn’t do something like that.”

“Hmph…but you already did,” Brendan said.  “To Peter.”

Aberdeen’s eyes bulged out dramatically.  “That’s not what I – no, that was different.  I didn’t have a choice.”

“Oh no no no, you chose,” Brendan said sternly.  “You chose to get ahead.  You want to be successful in this life, those choices are necessary.”

Aberdeen felt like she was about to cry.  She could feel her cheeks redden.  “But what if this isn’t what I want?  I mean, what if I don’t want to live the way you live or be in a career the way you conduct your career?  Not caring about people’s happiness and only caring about success.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, Aberdeen.  Everybody wants this.  Everybody wants to be successful.  Even writers.”

Aberdeen hadn’t even noticed Lou had stopped the car because they’d arrive at the airport.  She could only watch as the door unlocked and Brendan slipped on his sunglasses for the bright winter sun, getting out of the car and walking back to the trunk to get his suitcase.  Aberdeen took a minute to process everything.  What Brendan had just said.  What he revealed to her.  

Dumb.  She was so dumb.  And she still had so much to learn.  

Aberdeen was quiet as she walked into the airport with Brendan.  She was quiet as they checked in, quiet as they walked to their private hangar, quiet as she saw some of the boys and quiet as she plopped down into a seat, stuffing her headphones into her ears.  She knew she should be thankful to be spending her 22nd birthday in Florida, but now, all she could think about was the conversation she’d just had with Brendan.  Even William arriving almost didn’t even register with her.

She napped on the plane, not wanting to deal with hockey for at least an hour of her day.  

***

The hotel was taking too long to get the key cards and reservations sorted for everyone.  Aberdeen tried not to huff and puff, but she was tired.  She wasn’t even sure if she wanted to out for dinner.  After the stress of the last two days, and especially today, she just wanted to get under the covers of her bed and sleep.  Sleep would make her happy again.  More than anything, she wanted to be in a good mood for her birthday tomorrow, even if she was working.

“Ab-er-deeeeeeeen Blooooooooom,” the way-too-perky helper called out her name.  Aberdeen approached her and got her room key, mumbling a thank you.  She was on the 5th floor.  

Auston had followed behind her, grabbing his as well.  When they rejoined the loosely assembled group, he took a look at her.  “You look really tired, Aberdeen,” he commented.

She glared at him.  She couldn’t believe the audacity of him.  She’d just been up for almost two days straight because of the stupid trade deadline.  Lucky for him that he didn’t have to work the last two days.  And lucky for him that he didn’t have to worry about being traded like most of the other guys on the team.  He could at least sleep at night knowing he wasn’t going to be traded for the next five years.  “You can just say I look like shit, you know,” she deadpanned.  

Auston’s eyes bulged out.  “No no no—I didn’t mean—”

“Whatever, Auston,” she grumbled, shaking her head.  “I know I look like shit, alright?  I don’t need you to tell me.”

“Aberdeen, I didn’t mean it like that at all—”

“It’s fine,” she shook her head again, grabbing her suitcase and dragging it behind her as she stomped away from him.  She didn’t have time for his excuses or for him trying to cover up his tracks.  She practically punched the elevator button so she could go up to her room before everybody else.  Screw waiting for everyone.  

She was barely able to unpack her toiletries into her washroom before the first text came through on her phone.  Of course, it was William.

saw u stomping away what happened?

She wasn’t exactly going to tell him what Auston said because God knows what he would do.

I’m just tired Willy.  I’ve practically been up for 48 hours.

but u need to eat

I’ll order room service, but I’m not going out for dinner.

She left it at that.  She heard her phone buzz a few times afterwards but she made a conscious decision not to answer it.  She needed to be alone with her thoughts instead.  She didn’t need to be around Auston telling her she looked tired.  She didn’t need to be around Willy who would be staring at her all night.  She didn’t need to be around Mitch and his hyperactive puppy personality.  She didn’t need to be around Tyson who was probably sulking at the fact that he wasn’t trad—

A knock.

She took her sweet time going to open it.  When she did, she was greeted with Jason Spezza and Jake Muzzin on the other side.  She almost wanted to shut the door in their face but knew that would be the rudest thing she’d ever done.  “We’re going for tacos.  You in?”

“No.”

It was actually Jake who looked more taken aback by her statement than Jason.  She figured it was because Jason knew better.  “No to tacos?  I think that’s the first time in my life I’ve ever heard anyone say no to tacos.”

Aberdeen cracked a half smile.  “Have fun guys, but I’m exhausted.  I’ve been up for like two days because of the deadline.”

“That’s all the more reason for you to get a healthy meal in,” Jake pressed.  

Before she could politely decline again, she saw two figures out of the corner of her eye walking down the hallway towards them.  One was William – she could figure him out from miles away just by how his hair looked – but once the other came into focus, a lump formed in her throat.  Tyson was with him.  

“We goin’ for tacos or what?” Tyson asked.  There was a smile on his face.  A fake one for sure, Aberdeen thought, all things considering.

And then it happened.  She felt the blood and emotion rush to her cheeks, and she felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and responsibility for the man that was standing in front of her right now.  She’d tried to help him and her attempt failed.  And in that attempt to help, she betrayed him.  She couldn’t even look him in the eye.  “Please, just go,” she shook her head.  

“What?  What’s going on?” Jake looked in between Tyson and Aberdeen.

“Will you guys just leave me alone?” she pleaded, her voice strained as she felt tears well in her eyes.  “Please.  I’m so tired and I’m so—”

“Inside your room, now,” Jason pointed to her bed, not even waiting for her to make the first move, and instead just walking in himself.  Everybody followed – everybody except William – who took his spot leaning on the doorway so he wasn’t actually in her room.  But he was watching.  And every muscle in his body wanted to walk in with everyone.

“What’s going on?” Jason asked softly.  “What’s the real issue here?”

Aberdeen shook her head.  She still couldn’t look Tyson in the eye, but when she could, she almost broke down.  It took every ounce of strength in her not to burst out crying and maintain some type of composure.  “I’m so sorry.  I tried, I really tried—” she began.

“Tried what?” Tyson asked.

She hesitated.  “Listen, I know – I’ll understand if you hate me forever because of this – I know you told me not to tell Brendan what I heard Emma say in the car, but I couldn’t help it,” she began.  Tyson’s face visibly softened.  “I thought that maybe if I told him he’d actually deal you out, and you could be—you could be happy again, you know, or at least somewhere where—”

“Aberdeen—”

“—but he couldn’t, and he didn’t, and I just feel horrible for betraying you by telling him and I feel so responsible now for everything that happened and I can’t live with myself—”

“—Aberdeen, are you apologizing right now because I wasn’t traded?” Tyson asked.  Aberdeen didn’t respond.  “Aberdeen, come on.  You’re not the general manager or the president.”

“But I could have helped—”

“No, you couldn’t have,” he shook his head.  Though his words were short there was a softness and a sentimentality in his voice, even a hint of surprise that she’d even go so far as to feel responsible for not being able to deal him to another team.  He understood what she was getting at, understood why she was mad and was feeling this way, but ultimately, he was shocked that she was getting so emotional over it.  “You’re not responsible for that sort of stuff, Aberdeen.  I know you were trying to help, and I thank you for that, but the responsibility of what happens on trade deadline day falls on absolutely nobody in this room, not least the personal assistant to the president.”

She sniffled slightly.  “I just thought that if I told him he’d be more inclined—”

“It doesn’t work that way,” he shook his head, looking her in the eye.  “But thanks.  I appreciate what you did in its own way.  Just remember that it’s not your job to write the narrative.”

He was telling that to an aspiring writer.  Go figure.  But Aberdeen took in the words, really took them to heart, as she nodded her head quickly.  “I’m really sorry.”

“It’s not your fault.  And I don’t hate you,” Tyson said.  “I see where you’re coming from.  Just maybe don’t try to do it again.”

She let out the slightest of chuckles.  “Yeah, I think that’s best.”

“William?  What are you doing in Aberdeen’s room?”

Everybody whipped their heads towards the doorway to see Brendan Shanahan peeking in.  Aberdeen thanked the fucking Lord (and would probably pray the entire rosary tonight) over the fact that she was able to control her emotions and not cry during the interaction, and also that two of the men currently in her room were married with children and the other had a serious girlfriend or else it would all look very suspicious.  Brendan took a few steps in and saw Jason, Jake, and Tyson.  He didn’t look suspicious, but he didn’t exactly look happy.  He had a neutral look Aberdeen couldn’t make out.  “I’m not sure if I like four of you in Aberdeen’s room like this,” he said.  

“That’s my fault,” Jake piped up immediately.  “I was forcing her to come out to eat with us.  I was making sure she had at least something to eat since she kept saying no.  Tys and Spezz followed to make sure, too.”

Brendan’s look became much more neutral at Jake’s words.  “Hmm…I get it.  Healthy meals and all.  But she can order room service if she doesn’t want to go out.  She’s been up for the past two days almost.”

Jake smiled.  “Her words exactly.  We were literally just on our way out.”

“Have fun boys,” he said, dismissing them.  “And I’ll see you tomorrow, Aberdeen.”

She nodded.  Everybody filed out of her room, each one of the giving her one last look before leaving.  William was last, of course, letting his look linger for longer than the rest before letting the door close behind him.  She let out a deep breath.

love how that was the closest we’ve ever been to getting caught and i wasn’t even in ur room

The text came from William not even two minutes after he left.  Leave it to him to make light of it, she thought.  But it was the following text that got her thinking.

can u tell how the boys wouldn’t say a word now?

[jamesvanriemsdyk]

hi James, love your blogging! just wondering, did you ever make an updated-through-the-2021-season version of that Leafs primer you had last year? if not, would you happen to know anybody on here who has made something like it? looking to give my roommate a crash course on who everyone is before they watch the game with me tonight. if you don’t have anything, that’s totally fine, enjoy the game!!

hello. the answer to both those questions is no, but i will literally do one to two sentence player summaries under the cut right now, and i will keep a tally of how many times i have to google. it will not be many.

let me just start with the big four:

auston matthews: #34, first overall in 2016 and first line center, won the richard this year with 41 goals in like 53 games or something crazy. highest drafted latino player ever, theres lot of baggage here, im sure u can explain all this to ur friend but itd take too long to get into it here

mitch marner: #16, fourth overall in 2015, best playmaker on the team, first line rw. human energizer bunny and the best player on the team. hella sexy on the pk, i love him.

william nylander: #88, eighth overall in 2014, second line lw, best skater on the team, also best at zone entries. severely underrated and notoriously hated by the toronto media and also don cherry.

john tavares: #91, second line center, drafted 1st overall to the islanders in 2009. signed w the leafs in 2018 (hometown boy!!! johnny toronto!!!), best captain ever, sexiest man on the team. i love him.

and uh now i will finish the first two lines and then go into lines 3 and 4:

zach hyman: #11, drafted by the panthers and then signed w the leafs because fuck the cats (jk i like them so much but zach didnt so. toronto), lw on the first line, penalty killing KING, the sparkplug of the team. bounces around the lineup but not because hes bad, hes genuinely that versatile of a player. also jewish, which is cool. king.

nick foligno: acquired at the trade deadline, plays rw on either the first or second line depending on injuries, i love him. was the captain of the cbj for like a while, which is neat because he left them for the team they knocked out of the bubble last year. hilarious.

alsx galchenyuk: my beloved. #12, my favorite number, will probably be out of the lineup for at least game 1 because the leafs are literally too good. has a whole saga involved w his career, but used to be a hab and was drafted 3rd overall by them, which is important for this playoffs. king.

third line:

mikheyev-nash-kerfoot

ilya mikheyev: #65, penalty killing king, cannot score shorthanded to save his life but he DESERVES it. signed in the 2019 offszn. i love him.

riley nash: #20, another cbj newbie. originally acquired for cap shenanigans, going into the lineup because hes a veteran and great defensive center. we'll see how this goes.

alex kerfoot: #15, acquired in the kadri trade, another great pker. i love him, he has more points than pld this season, hes great.

AND NOW FOR THE OLD MAN LINE.

jason spezza: #19, actual literal hall of famer, was with the sens and then the stars and now hes HOME, and i love him, and hes amazing. my dad.

joe thornton: #97, another literal hall of famer, was on the sharks FOREVER, now is here and very excited about it. has been decent this season, which was surprising to me, and i love him now. my friend sarah thinks hes hot.

wayne simmonds: #24, my beloved, used to be a flyer, he was exactly who i wanted dubas to sign this offseason, i adore him. my mom.

aaaaand now the dmen:

morgan rielly: #44, dating tessa virtue, the team's best offensive defenseman. people are mad at him rn because hes kinda sucked. we'll see how he does, but i love him either way.

thomas james brodie: #78, i love him i love him i love him i love him. signed from the flames this past offszn, best dman this team has seen in probably decades. i love him.

jake muzzin: #8, acquired from the kings, i love him deeply. will punch a bitch in the face and crush them also. love him.

justin holl: #3, works hard loves the game (and the boys), underrated as fuck. been in the organization forever and a day. i love him.

travis dermott: #23, boyfriend material, also been in the org forever, i love him deeply. third pairing/seventh d guy, does his job stupidly well for the disaster it must be to try to do it.

rasmus sandin: #38, drafted 29th overall in 2018, king king KING, hes amazing, holy shit hes so good especially for how young he is, i love him so much, king of my heart, king of this entire blog. i love him.

ben hutton: #55, acquired at the trade deadline, just happy to be here, will maybe get into the lineup if theres injuries, i love him.

GOALIES:

jack campbell: #36, the only goalie that matters, actual sunshine on skates, id let him **** me (thats big for me), i adore him. hes amazing. broke a carey price record this season. king.

freddie andersen: #31, i wish he was still good but he just isnt any more, it makes me deeply sad. hes still sexy tho

dave rittich: #33, BIG SAVE DAVE, acquired from cgy at the deadline, im very fond. will only get into the playoffs if theres insane injuries.

ok so i didnt google any of this but i did check the nhl app like 3 times for numbers. so. i hope this works lmao

Welchen Spieler würde Seattle Kraken von Maple Leafs auswählen?

Die Toronto Maple Leafs beschützten acht Skater und Torwart Jack Campbell vom Seattle Kraken Take Away. Das Ergebnis müssen sie abwarten. Der Kraken kann Kerfoot und Dermott auswählen. Die neue Akquisition von Leafs, McCann, scheint von Seattle am wenigsten gepflückt zu werden. Dann haben die Leafs kaum eine Chance, den ausstehenden Free Agent Zach Hyman zurückzubringen. Sie können Nick Foligno neu verpflichten oder Alex Galchenyuk und seine eishockey trikots zurückbringen.

Die Maple Leafs haben zwei neue Trainer gewonnen. Sie stellten Spencer Carbery und John Snowden ein und reichten ihnen die neuen Toronto Maple Leafs Trikot. Carbery ersetzt Dave Hakstol, um ihre Vakanz als Co-Trainer zu übernehmen. Er ist der amtierende AHL-Trainer des Jahres. Carbery hat gerade erst seine dritte Saison auf dieser Position beendet. Der 39-Jährige ist ein angesehener Cheftrainer, obwohl er bisher keine NHL-Erfahrung hat. Außerdem ersetzt Snowden Rob Davison.

Die Leafs hätten Travis Dermott und Justin Holl dem Seattle Kraken aussetzen können. Sie ignorierten jedoch Jaren McCann, schützten aber Justin Holl, der mit seinen Toronto Maple Leafs Trikot weniger wertvoll ist. Die Toronto Maple Leafs gingen die 4-4-1-Route. Der Punkt ist, dass dieses Team nicht viel an vielseitigen, defensivstarken Stürmern hat. Die Leafs glauben, dass Justin Holl nach dem Erweiterungsentwurf äußerst wertvoll sein wird. Der beste Fall ist, dass sie Holl und seine eishockey trikots zu einem überhöhten Preis eintauschen.

Mike Savage New Canaan-Classic Chevy - 1970 Monte Carlo

A classic Chevy in the standard sense will certainly cover a lot of bases. Yet there is a popular timeless Chevy of the past that deserves remembering which was the intro of the 1970 Monte Carlo.

 The 1970 Monte Carlo was the proposal of Elliot M Estes (Pete) the automobile was to be Chevrolet's counterpart to the 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix. Pontiac had wonderful success with the Grand Prix Pontiac in 1969 as well as Chevrolet wanted to make use of that success.

Chevrolet's stylist in the 70's Dave Holl’s obtained from the Cadillac Eldorado and Chevrolet Chevelle, they produced the muscular looking Standard Chevy Monte Carlo. What appeared of this design was a two-door coupe with a timeless design that has actually lasted 6 generations and as a result of make a reappearance in 2012. Although it's stats are not likely to impress as high as the 70's yet the evaluations are giving the 3.4 L V6 2012 model a build-up.

 Mike Savage New Canaan

 The 70's Standard Chevy style was marketed as a personal-luxury coupe with its entire background. It has outlived several rivals that were either terminated or changed into either a four-door cars or smaller sized sporting activity coupes.

 The base design weighed in at 3460 pounds, about 200 pounds. more than a 2-door Chevelle with the shorter 112-inch wheelbase. Monte Carlos was outfitted with even more high-end options than your regular Chevelle, such as cooling (yes, in 1970, cooling was considered a high-end choice, unlike today!), power windows, as well as other products that enhanced the lorry weight. Fender skirts were also a prominent alternative.

 The best was the very first four generations (70-72, 73-77, 78-80 and also 81-88) all were rear wheel drive V8 powered coupes. The all had different chassis as well as body construction of the conventional full-size vehicles.

 My perpetuity preferred was the 1971 model year. There was very little in changes from the first year. In the SS model obtained European icon handles and the steering wheel obtained 4 spokes and an elevated hood accessory.

 The timeless Chevy body style taken advantage of the GM's G-body likewise used on the Grand Prix. So as opposed to just making more traveler room on the Chevrolet model they included a splice in between the firewall program and also the front wheels. This is what developed the one-of-a-kind Monte Carlo timeless look. The timeless long hood became incredibly popular.

 Base power consisted of the 350 Turbo-Fire little block V8 with 250 hp with a 2-barrel carburetor. By today's requirements 334 ft pounds of torque at just 2800 rpm was exciting. Several of the conventional alternatives included disk brakes in the front. A lot of us old guys like the simulated wood trim taken after the Rolls Royce.

A choice available on my 71 added a four-barrel carburetor pushing the 350 to outcome 300 hp. Both the tiny block as well as big block 400 cubic inch engines were used. The big block version rated at 330 hp was actually the 396 at 402 cubic inch somewhat bigger variation.

 The most power can be found in the Monte Carlo SS 454 at 360 hp with 500 feet lbs of torque. The alternative was only an added $420 for 7.4 L made for quite a rapid cars and truck. Requirement was the sturdy suspension and 3.31 rear equipment with lots progressing suspension. The badge of honor was "SS 454" for the choice plan with a turbo hydromantic-transmission. Only 3,823 used the badge of honor "SS-454" as well as those cars and trucks are highly sought after today by fanatics and also enthusiasts.

Masterlist

This Might Sound Crazy

"Hey! Watch it!" Holly rushed through the backlot with a drink carrier of various hot beverages. She dodged and weaved through the crowd of film crew and extras.

She then bumped into one of the visitors on the set.

"Eww! What is your deal?" Bianca wiped the drop of foam that had landed on her perfect spray tanned leg. Her lip curled in disgust. "I see you have gotten far in your career. Hunt finally promoted you to coffee girl."

Holly narrowed her eyes. "I see you are still frozen in time. You're still the nastiest bit--"

"I'll take that!" Ryan swept between the two enemies and took the drinks from Holly. If this played out any further, Bianca would be suffering from coffee burns all over her body. "Bianca, excuse us for a moment. I need to talk to Holly about the script."

She tossed her hair back. "Anything for you Ryan." She cooed. "Though why you want to speak to someone that can't reach any goal she sets is beyond me."

Holly's fists clinched. She opened her mouth to let loose every insult she had saved up for Bianca. Ryan grabbed her arm and yanked her away. "Don't do it." He whispered. "You'll regret it. Her father still has his hands in everything around here."

Holly jerked her arm away. "The only thing I will regret is not telling her off." She pushed her glasses up her nose and smoothed her short black hair back.

Her thoughts centered around what Bianca had said. Had she not reached any goal?

"Well now I have to kill myself." Holly muttered.

"What?!" Ryan stopped her.

"Bianca is actually right about something and even worse it is about me." Holly frowned while thinking. "Death is the only option." She glanced at Ryan and sighed. He never did get her morbid sense of humor. "I'm kidding."

"Yeah, good one." He muttered. He set the coffee tray on a table near craft services and pushed Holly into his trailer.

"What are you doing?" She exclaimed.

"Sit down." He pushed her onto the sofa and searched the drawers of the lighted vanity.

"Gee Ryan, you are so hospitable." Holly rolled her eyes and started to get up. "I still have to-"

"Sit." He pushed her back and handed her a notebook and pen.

"What am I supposed to do with this? Write your life story?" Her snark seemed to flow like the mighty Mississippi. If she couldn't use it on Bianca then everyone else was going to hear it.

Ryan let out a noise that she assumed was one of angry frustration. It was actually kind of impressive. He took the pen and wrote on the top of the page. "There. Clear enough for you?"

She squinted at his writing. "Not really. Who taught you handwriting?" She held it closer to her eyes. "Bouquet Less?"

Ryan rubbed his hands over his face. "BUCKET LIST!" Was their friendship worth this much trouble? "Write out some things you always wanted to do and we will do them."

Holly's lips parted in surprise. "You want to help me do some things?" Her eyes turned to suspicious slits. "Why?"

"Just write it out." He ordered. "I'm trying to be nice." He dropped his head back in frustration. "I don't know why I'm trying."

Holly's lips curved in a slight smile. "Fine. I suppose I have to appease the temperamental lead actors."

He glared at her. "Thanks so much. Now write your list." He stormed out of his trailer, muttering about insanity.

Holly allowed a big smile to appear once she was alone. An excitement to do some of the crazy things she had dreamed of built and might in some part be due to the handsome man that wanted to help her accomplish it.

"Hmm?" She tapped the pen to her lips and then started to write out some ideas.

_____________

"Holly, for some strange reason, I love you." Ryan began. "But if you think I am stealing somebody's yacht to sail in the moonlight just to jump off of it, you're crazy."

"Didn't you ever dream of that when first in Hollywood?" She asked. "I used to take walks down the pier and pick specific ones to do an Ocean's Eleven type heist."

"No. I can honestly say that thought never entered my mind." He said in a speak softly to an insane person tone.

She folded her arms. "There had to be something you saw that you wanted for your own when you started out."

"Well, yeah." He admitted. "I wanted an Aston Martin."

Holly started to laugh. "You would want a James Bond car."

"What? It is a beautiful car." He replied in a defensive tone.

"I can see it all now. You're in your tux, picking up some gorgeous model in a barely there dress, and driving through the Hollywood Hills while drinking martinis." Holly continued to laugh at the picture her mind conjured.

"I see nothing wrong with this image." He teased, nudging her with his elbow.

"We'll find one of those during your bucket list night." She decided. "Come on. We have a yacht to commandeer."

Ryan shook his head. "We will end up in prison with mugshots leaked to TMZ. How about we do this one?" He pointed further down the list. "I'm willing to dress in regency style clothing and pretend to be time travelers just to freak people out."

"Like you doing that wouldn't end up on TMZ." Holly muttered.

"Yeah. But then I don't have a record for robbery." He muttered back.

"It isn't robbery that we would be charged with. It would be burglary." She impatiently explained.

"What's the difference?" Ryan's brow furrowed.

"Robbery is taking something combined with using force or intimidation. Burglary involves breaking and entering while taking something. With the right lawyer, we can probably knock the charges down to theft." She explained in a no nonsense way.

"Oh well that makes it better." Ryan gestured down the pier. "Should we pick out our spot to get arrested or let it be a surprise?"

"Hmm. There is a big chance we won't get caught. But if we did, then that is one thing I can cross off my bucket list."

"Who puts getting arrested on their bucket list?!" He glared at her when she covered his mouth during his outburst.

"An up and coming screenwriter." She hissed. "I need more experiences in life to help me convey the situations better."

Ryan groaned when she hurried off toward the pier. He jogged to catch up. Once he caught up, he listened as she read off the names of the different ships."

"Hmm...The Scandal...Alimony...Fourth Wife. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "People need to get more creative with their names."

Holly paused next to a yacht that was older than the others. Something about it harkened back to an era when the very wealthy didn't need to be so gaudy. She tilted her head to read the name. "The Magnificent Ambersons." Something about that made her think she had heard that somewhere.

"This is the one." She said in a whisper to Ryan.

"What? Holly, no. We are--HOLLY!" Ryan covered his face with his hands when she leaped on board. He looked up and down the dock then went after her.

"Holly!" He said in a loud whisper while creeping in the shadows. "I'm going to kill you if you don't get off this--" the wood creaked under his foot. He froze while his heart slammed in his chest. "I don't look good in orange jumpsuits."

Holly grabbed his arm, yanking him down a dark corridor.

"We're leaving." He yanked back against her.

"Yes, we are." She turned the handle to a door and grinned. "Jackpot."

Ryan leaned against the doorframe. He watched as she studied all the buttons and such. She placed her hands on the wheel and turned it back and forth. Her giddiness made him press his face against the smooth wood in frustration.

"Holly, we need to-- are you watching a YouTube video on how to work this boat?!"

"Well, yeah. I've never done this before, thus the reason it being on my bucket list." She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Are...are you actually acting frustrated with me?!" His voice cracked. His nerves were completely shot.

"Trust me. It isn't an act." She replied. "Now be quiet so I can learn how to back this thing up."

Ryan grabbed a phone sitting nearby. "Yes, I need your finest mental health professional. No. It's for me. I'm pretty sure I suffer from delusions." He muttered.

Holly glared at him. "You do know that phone only goes to other rooms on the yacht?"

"No." Ryan said sarcastically. "You mean I didn't just alert the authorities to our location?"

"And people say I'm weird." Holly grumbled. She pressed a button and the engine started. "Yes!" She pumped her fist. " Lucky guess."

Ryan's jaw dropped.

"I'm kidding." She told him. "Sorta."

"What is that?" Ryan asked, pointing toward the dock.

"What?" She stood on her tiptoes and craned her neck to see what he was pointing at. "I don't see anything."

"Look! Are those flashlights?" His breathing became loud as panic set in.

"Huh. Maybe." Holly shrugged. "Shall we--"

"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"

The two froze at the commanding voice spoken through a megaphone. Ryan stared at the woman he had willingly followed into this. Her lips were parted in shock. She slipped her hand in his. "We'll get out of this."

His grip was almost painful around her fingers while his rage at this situation grew. He pulled her out and let her go as he put his hands up. Flashlights were trained on his face and he squinted while disembarking.

"Ryan?"

Ryan nearly fell to the ground in relief. "Dave? Oh thank God."

"What are you-- hey Holls." The L.A. detective greeted her.

"Hey Dave. Long time no see." She dropped her hands to hug him.

The detective waved the other officers away. "It's not the ones we are looking for." He then turned back to his two friends while putting his pistol back in his shoulder holster. "So you want to tell me what you were up to? I've never known either of you to have a desire to go yachting."

"Oh...er...well...we..." Holly stuttered and gave a silent plea to Ryan.

He folded his arms and looked away. He decided to let her dangle and feel at least an ounce of the fear he had felt.

It lasted all of ten seconds. He had come up with a new form of torture. Ryan's sly grin formed as he wrapped his arm around her. "Holly and I were trying to find a place where we could truly alone. Isn't that right, baby doll?"

If looks could kill he would at least be bleeding out his ears. "Yes." Holly managed to strangle out. "I didn't want the press to see us together. Or anyone for that matter."

"Huh." Dave rocked back on his heels. "I never would have put the two of you together." His firm lips broke into a smile. "I like it."

"You do?" Holly and Ryan said simultaneously.

"Yeah. I can see it." He looked over his shoulder at the commotion coming their way.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" Thomas snapped. "First you tell me someone broke in and was stealing it. Then you tell me they couldn't back it out of the dock, but to come anyway to check for missing items. And now you say it's--"

The irate director stopped in his tracks when he saw Holly and Ryan. "What the devil were you two doing on my yacht?!"

Ryan took a stunned step back.

Holly tried to hide behind him.

"They were trying to be alone." Dave explained with a wink.

"Not on my yacht!" Thomas growled. "Go be alone somewhere else. Wake me up at three in the morning to drive to deal with this ridiculous behavior." His voice trailed off. "You're acting like a pair of idiotic teenagers! Ask next time you need to use it." He turned on his heel and stomped back toward his car.

Dave shook with silent laughter. "As much fun as this is, I have to leave you guys. There has been a group of thieves breaking into the yachts the past few weeks and if I am to keep the elite happy, I gotta catch 'em. See you later." He waved and went to join his task force.

"Can we go now?" Ryan begged.

"You didn't have to come in the first place." She set her hands on her hips.

"I know that!" He waved around the dimly lit pier. "I couldn't let you do this alone!"

She rolled her eyes. "I would have been fine."

"I'm sorry, did you not hear Dave's reason for being out here? What if the thieves had bumped into you?" His eyes narrowed. "They would have probably wanted you to join up with them and then made you their leader."

Holly snorted and started to laugh. "And here I thought you were going to say they would kill me."

"Who would want to kill a woman both crazy and fearless enough to try and steal Thomas Hunt's yacht?" He shook his head and started back up the pier. "Is that why you picked it? Did you know it was his?"

"No. Did you?" She asked.

"I didn't know he had one." Ryan admitted.

"The name was what drew me in. Now knowing who the owner is, it all makes sense." She explained. When Ryan still looked clueless, she went on. "Orson Wells wrote and directed The Magnificent Ambersons."

Ryan's confusion eased away. "Thomas Orson Hunt." A shudder rippled over his shoulders. "That is a horrible middle name his parents stuck him with."

"Apparently that was his mom's favorite classic movie." Holly said with a shrug. "Regardless, we dodged a bullet back there. Thanks for um..." She avoided looking at him. "Thanks for coming up with a reason for us to be out here."

Ryan slipped his hands in his pockets. "No problem." He cut his eyes at her and noticed she was doing the same to him as they walked. He nudged her with his elbow while the smile that made women long to kiss those lips formed. "It can be our go to excuse for all our heists."

She looked away when they reached his car. "Anyway, thanks also for trying to help me with my bucket list. It wasn't the worst night of my life so I count that as a big plus."

"I guess it wasn't too bad." He opened her door and then got in on the driver's side. "I might even be willing to help you with another one tomorrow night."

She studied his profile by the light coming from the dashboard. "Really? Have you ever wanted to take over a fine dining restaurant? Every time the patrons order one of those absurd weird dishes, we make them Raman noodles. Then we can..."

The Blacklist, the most comprehensive collection of my favorite movies&tv series

It’s not unusual to see actors that played a role in some show you liked playing a role in some other show. But. I never experienced something like with The Blacklist. In it I found so many links to other shows that I love, that I felt the need to make a list of them, because I find it unbelievable. Hope to update the list with season seven! You can read the list after the break - and tell me your links, if you have and  want. ;) Enjoy!

[Several episodes] CSI actors/extra CSI is the first of my favorite shows, the reason for which I started this blog, actually. Many actors of that show joined the cast of TBL. The first that I can remember was, I think, Tom Noonan (in TBL played Stanley R. Kornish, the Stewmaker, in 1x04, while in CSI he played Zephyr in Abracaver 3x05). I made a post on him [here]. He also played a role in X-Files, another one of my favorite shows. Another actors/extra that comes to mind, is Lee Tergesen (in TBL he played the husband of Red’s formed wife in Lord Baltimore 2x01, while in CSI he played the father of a kid who killed his little brother in Compulsion 5x17). BUT, the most important is CSI’s Super Dave, aka David Berman who has his first appearance in TBL in episode The Pharmacis 6x03, and he also acts a super-link-to-CSI scene in General Shiro 6x07, when Ressler asks him if he knows any entomologist [I made a post about that here].

[1x02] First appearance of Parminder Nagra {playing Meera Malik} This post by @addictedtostorytelling showed me that she was also in ER, which I followed for some years, and I have good memories of me and my mom watching and talking about it. 

[1x06]  Symphony No. 7, Mov. II - Beehoven  {Music in background during the chat between Reddington and Ruddigger} This music piece is an important part of one great Italian tv show that I love, La Porta Rossa. In that show this music is used a background music of the final monologues of every episode. You can listen to it here.

[1x07]  Robert Sean Leonard {playing Frederick Barnes} He played Count Claudio in the movie Much Ado About Nothing, my second favorite movie of all times. I think I’ve watched it at least 10-15 times.

[1x15] Max Hastings {the Federal Prosecutor who disappeared 12 years earlier found stumbling along a rural Pennsylvania road at the beginning of the episode} There is just one and only Hastings in my life: the one in David Suchet’s Poirot

[1x16] Berlin is mentioned for the first time. Do I have to say it? There’s just one and only Berlin in my life: the one in Money Heist (La cas de papel - La casa di carta) + Cello Song - The Books Feat. Jose Gonzalez (Cover of Nick Drake) I mean, it’s Nick Drake, for God’s sake. It remembers me my high school so much...

[2x01] Mary-Louise Parker {playing Reddington’s former wife Carla Reddington} She played Ruth Jamison in Fried Green Tomatoes, my very favorite film EVER. Oh, damn, I love that movie! But it’s also so sad, and so I just watched it only 3 or 4 times (but I read the book, though!)

[2x14] First appearance of Lance Henrikson {playing the Major} This is a “distant link” to a show I loved. Lance Henrikson played the main character in the show Millennium, which was created by Chris Carter who is more known as the creator of X-Files. How much I shipped Mulder and Scully at the time!

[3x15] Chris Chalk {playing John Addison} He played Gary Cooper in The Newsroom. [Is Gary Cooper his real name? ~ Rebecca Halliday] There are no words to explain how beautiful, entertaining, intelligent and dramatic The Newsroom is. (And Jeff Daniels is superb in it!)

[4x06] Aram tells Samar that he and his girlfriend binge-watch Stranger Things. It’s Stranger Things. There’s nothing I can add to this.

[4x12] Daniel Davis {playing Baldur Magnusson} To see Niles from The Nanny on TBL was the weirdest thing I have ever seen!

[6x17] John Cullum {playing Ted King, married to Katarina’s mother Virginia} I could not believe my eyes when I saw him talking to Ressler: Holling from Northern Exposure! After seeing him on TBL I started a rewatch of NX from season 1.
