News Round-Up

Right, sorry (again) for not posting yesterday. My friends and I had an all-day drinking session. Started around 12.30pm and I didn't get home until 11.30pm. And I wasn't in any state to type, let alone type something you'd want to read.

The best thing about yesterday was that I managed to get the phrase 'eidetic memory' into a conversation for the first time. My friend was talking about how she bumped into someone she went to junior school with last week, and the boy remembered how my friend had slapped him 20 years ago. Ok, I know that's more elephant's memory than eidetic memory, but I was still pretty proud of myself for even remembering the term 'eidetic memory' at that stage in the evening.


And now, the news...


I'm still nursing a hangover so I thought I'd keep things simple by relating to you all the CM/CM alumni news I've been catching up on today. Obviously, as soon as they heard I was out all day, the entire CM world decided to go social media and contest crazy.

• MGG and Joe were asked, on Twitter and Facebook respectively, where they were and what they doing at the time of the 9/11 attacks, 9 years ago yesterday. Matthew replied: "I was less than a mile away from ground zero amid the confusion and destruction. Overwhelmed by the love support and kindness New Yorkers where showing while trying to make sense of that tragic day. My humblest love, respect, and thanks to all who helped and all we lost. A wonderful city in a wonderful country in a wonderful world". Joe replied: "I was getting ready to start working on the show First Monday. They postponed it for a week or so". Earlier, Joe had tweeted "I hope everyone is flying their flag today in honor of those who lost their lives 9 years ago today....never forget".
•  I missed all the drama, but apparently you all had some problems accessing the fantastic Criminal Minds Fanatic Blog yesterday. The issue was quickly resolved and now the blog is fine and dandy.
• Speaking of that blog, they're helping to run a Vampire Mob contest. Vampire Mob is a webseries with Kirsten Vangsness as part of the cast.
• Anyone who's been following the Nikola Tesla fever on MGG's Twitter feed will not have been surprised to see Thomas Gibson tweet that MGG shares fun facts about the world-changing inventor with cast and crew.
• AJ tweeted that she cleaned her closet and found " some interesting things like my wedding shoes, jeans in EVERY size and a shirt with a bedazzled dragon.Yikes".

Right, I'm going to carry on feeling sorry for myself by watching some of season 4 before I head off to the airport. Hopefully when I come back from holiday (next Sunday) I'll be a more interesting blogger-making and posting fancfic, fan vids, picspams, doing episode and book recaps etc.-instead of just getting all my news off Twitter, 16 hours after you've already read it.

Ciao for now! Meet me back here in a week.
