Copper is a good show, Ari and I have started watching it. However it is made entirely by BBC America as their first production. Still fucking awesome.

I just started rewatching the BBC adaptation of John LeCarre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It's purely fantastic. Not to be missed. Quiet and stark and subtle and brilliant. And, of course, Top Gear is just too good to pass up. Keep meaning to dig up Blake's 7 too. I have fond memories from my childhood when they showed it on YTV along with Doctor Who on weekday afternoons.

Doctor Who, of course. I like Sherlock, and I'm looking forward to finally seeing Broadchurch tomorrow.

It is hilarious. It's about a socially awkward 30something year old. There's only 3 seasons with about 6 episodes. Each episode is a half an hour long, quick watch. And she's legit awkward, not cheesy and fake I'm super hot and actually pretty normal but I'm awkward because the story tells you I am kind of awkward.

I think someone mentioned Ripper Street. It's an interesting show if a little slow to get interested in. I tend to stick to comedies for the most part, and old ones for that matter. Blackadder, Bottom, Harry Enfield, all the classics you saw from the BBC during the 80's90's. As the advent of cable TV and the internet broke out, I found myself watching BBC programs less and less over time. Just seem to find a lot of more interesting stuff elsewhere.

Gavin and Stacy. Those two are the soppy love interest, the real fun comes with Ness and Smithy. Watch and enjoy.

Red Dwarf is definitely one of my favourite British shows of all time. The Cat has to be one of my favourite characters ever. I really enjoy Outnumbered, a show that really does just capture your average British family to a tee, Hugh Dennis is fantastic. I like Sherlock, Whitechapel and Doctor Who. But then of course there's Countdown, Mock The Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Russel Howard's Good News, your usual stuff. One of my favourites to come out lately is Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Good-ish. It's a fantastic show that questions all of those silly little quibbles that happen in society, like why we go out and buy an 11 piece comb set because it's a 'better deal' even though we only wanted one comb. 'Which one's the better deal? Neither, because I ONLY WANTED ONE FKING COMB.' Some of his stuff really can be hilarious and also eye opening to a lot of things about modern life. I seriously recommend you watch it. I have it easy compared to you guys cause I live here and so just by watching TV I've got loads of good British shows.

The phone on his desk rang. harrison Trenton spared a glance at it, sighing. He hated working after his secretary left. That was why he paid her to be here! To handle this kind of crap! He calmed himself. There was no sense complaining, and she did good work when she was there. And there was no sense paying her to sit around and do nothing while he looked into the last stages of closing off his case. It had ended well enough, he just needed to finish the paperwork. With that thought, he lifted the phone. Harriosn Trenton was a man that needed little introduction to most people in the city. He'd made himself a reputation for taking on any case, no matter how long the odds, and what was mroe surprising, was that he won them. With a near perfect streak, and no case failed in the last decade, he was a powerhouse for any firm to boast. The age old firm he worked for had been easy to land, he'd started there right out of law school, and his rise to partner had been nothing short of meteoric. That fact that the owning partner, Caughlin Lloyd, was his best friend hadn't actually mattered, not with his success rate, and the money he brought to the firm. Lloyd had been careful to keep Harrison sated adn happy, knowing that the man could branch off, adn start his own firm easily, and might one day eclipse his own, but then by making him a senior partner, harrison had suddenly become more wealthy in a few years than he'd ever dreamed of. Penthouse apartment, estate outside the city, three cars, and a serving staff to make the Queen drool with envy. He was not a mna who typically concerned himself with much at all, money able to buy his way out of most minor trouble, and his reputation enough to handle what money didn't. But he stil kept himself safely inside of the law. After all, eventually, everyone fell prey to something outside of the law sooner or later. And as a lawyer, he was usually the one picking up the pieces. This is Trenton. He said calmly into the phone.

While Esther was still brooding and trying not to cry from the fact of her possible failed career, Mallory stole a glance back from the kitchen to see the top of her roommates head still where she last left it to be. Sitting on the couch with the occasional hand running through her hair, exasperatedly. If she kept that up, shed have no hair left. Mallory smiled a little bit, but was also determined to help her friend get back on track. She wouldnt let her career die. So the moment she heard the very melt-worthy voice of her boss, Mallory went back to her original task in which she paused in opening the bottle of wine for Esther and herself and to try and get her friend a lawyer. If not her boss, then someone from the firm. Hi, Mr. Trenton. Its Mallory Joyner. Your secretary? Seemed the appropriate thing to say to a man who may or may not notice he did have a secretary. Sometimes she got the vague impression that he didnt exactly know or notice her. Not that she was seeking his attention. He was very handsome, but no. She was just Mallory. As odd and weird as she might be, she thought she was a bit invisible, even when she clearly wasnt. They were two really great friends. Both a little awkward in their own way, both a little insecure, except when it came to teaching, Esther exuded far more confidence than Mallory could as a prominent lawyers assistant. Prominent being a key word. Any secretary might feel less than worthy. UmI know youre super busy. So maybe you can pass this onto another lawyer, but I have a friend who might be in need of some legal services, if not anything else, but legal advice.
Thread: Overneath the Path of Misinterpretation (Alvis Alendran&Malicious Lullaby)

Harrison felt a minor surge of irritation. As if he didn't know who he worked for. He did feel the need to make a point after what Mallory had said. I know who you are Miss Joyner. I know the name of everyone who works on this floor, from the file runners, all the way up to you. So do not assume I will need to be reminded. He said with a slight edge to his voice. Frankly, she was fortunate that she was good at her job. A less competant secretary might have been dismissed for irritating him. It had happened before. Point of fact, it had happened just before Mallory was hired. It was why she'd been given the opportunity. She was past that phase of her employment by now. What has your friend done? Federal? State? Misdemeanor? Ad why call me directly? The office does have a system set up for exactly this sort of thing. Or were you planning on using your access to me to secure a better deal for your friend? Harrison leaned back in his chair. This was a negotiation that he was used to. Mallory did not have a strong bargaining position, but she was a good employee, and it wouldn't hurt to engender a little good will. What was more, in this point, he could use a secretary that was a little...indebted to him. He'd never ask for anything illegal, that would just be wrong, but he could use one who was able to be appropriately discreet, and willing to go the extra mile sometimes.

She nearly dropped the bottle of wine when his irritated tone filled her ears. It actually made her terrified of him and the fact he chastised her for this, she was both mortified and embarrassed. But perhaps mortification and embarrassment were relatively similar. An uncomfortable chill crept up her spine and when he made his point, it went away but she was left with that feeling ofincompetence. Right, of course Mr. Trenton, I apologize. Having now opened the wine bottle, she placed it down and opened the far right cupboard near the fridge and produced two nice wine glasses. They were Esthers but in this household, they both lived by Whats mine is yours. Although, if she ever were to break one of these, shed replace it in a heartbeat. She started to pour the wine when his voice rang in her ears again. Why did she feel like she was the errant child who was being scolded by this man? She had half a mind to tell him off for being such a really mean lawyer but she wanted to do this for Esther. She knew how much teaching meant to her. If she could do something, anything to help, shed go for it. Though hopefully this didnt cost her job either. U-Um She started but her eyes closed. Goodness, this man asked so many questions. She took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Onto question one. Shes been suspended until they can look into the case of whether or not she actually came onto one of her students. She said she didnt. But the student says otherwise. Oh, sorry, shes a high school teacher. She was close to stuttering. This was so scary. She hardly spoke much to her boss unless he needed her to do something or whatever. Onto question two. Um, I-I figured I could? I know, the office has procedures to follow but she was just really upset Mr. Trenton and I thought if I could do anything to make her feel a little bit better. Granted, she didnt want me making this call but all throughout school she talked how she wanted nothing more than to be a teacher. I cant just sit back and let her dreams be ripped from her, can I? She asked. There, a little more power and edge to her tone. So, is there anything you can do? Or well, want to do, because she might have just sort of yelled at her boss and now she was sure all of Esthers chances went down in the dumps. Fuck me, Mallory thought.

Harrison ran the numbers based on what she'd told him. It was fairly run of the mill actually. Probationary teachers were disposable assets, usually tossed aside to avoid any potential scandal. And if the student wasn't extremely stupid, there would be enough doubt about the teacher to give him a chance. It was not the most impressive case that he could think of. But at the saem time, it was not an inconsiderable one either. And a young person chasing a dream...well, he could understand that. He'd caught his own dream, the office was proof of that. And he could let it slide, but he felt the urge to do something. He could have the papers from the last case filed in a few mroe hours, adn that would leave him free to select another case. And a pro bono one would make decent waves for his record. most of the lawyers at the firm made an effort to have at least one case like that each year, to keep themselves sharp with things, and not just focused on money. Lloyd's idea. It had been resisted, but Harrison saw the wisdom in it. So, a probationary teacher. I assume that means she's in too dire straits financially to afford the kind of lawyer that our firm provides, adn could clear up her case quickly enough to be useful, and not turn it into a media circus. Tell me, am I on the right track? Harrison replied, his voice not heating, but gaining a brittle, sharp edge to it that made it seem much mroe dangerous, as though he was on the edge of doing something...final. You thought to bypass company procedure, and not even having the sense to do it in person, but to do it over the phone, when you know I'm up to my ears in paperwork, all to try and procure your friend legal help that you know is likely outside of her financial realm, so you must have been hoping that someone will help out of the goodness of their hearts. In fact, you might have had the temerity to think that I might be willing. And do believe me Miss Joyner, we will be speaking on the proper tone one uses when addressing their employer, especially from a position where they are being asked of. Harrison let his words sink in. A statement like that had ended a few careers. Nonetheless. Your instincts were not entirely off base. You and the client will both meet with a representative from the firm at Cafe Noir, over on 5th avenue. Tell them you're there for a buisnessmeeting with teh firm. Show them your company ID badge, adn they'll give you a table. Order whatever the two of you want, it's on the company account. He explained to her. He paused, and in a lower, more serious tone, added. I do this for you, set this ball into motion...you will owe me. You understand this, don't you?

W-Well y-yeah, but She started, the way his tone took that certain edge certainly fearing for her job. She had every ounce of strength to just hang up this call and the next time she went into work, chalk it up to a random bout of drunken stupor in which she did not slur one bit. Esther wouldnt have to know she made the call because she didnt even want Mallory to do this but she was too afraid to just let the call go now. Because if she did, it might make the situation worse and he just might call back all to tell her to pack up her desk come Monday morning, because shed be fired. Swallowing hard, she put the bottle down and took her glass of wine. She needed it now more than Esther. She took a big gulp for strength and sighed softly. Instead, she simply nodded her head, as if he might be able to see her before finally speaking, Y-Yes, Mr. Trenton. I apologize. Yes for the expectation that he himself would take up the case and her apology for that and the tone she used. Thank goodness for this wine otherwise shed crumble and start bawling on the phone right now, further embarrassing herself right now. Its like it was so early in the morning, like one or two and she woke him up for this silly request. It wasnt even six! Sighing deeply, she closed her eyes and leaned her hips against the counter, gingerly sipping her wine. Yes, of course Mr. Trenton. Anything I can do to repay you for this. I really appreciate it and so with my friend. Thank you. Thank you. She paused a moment, not wanting yet to bid goodbye. She justhad to make sure. He said to use her company ID badge so that should have been an obvious indicator but her nerves were pretty rattled. S-Sir, if I might ask, Im not fired, correct? Her voice gave off the indication that she was terrified out of her mind. Well no shit since her boss yelled at her. It was scary to be yelled at. Really, really scary. Even if he wasn't yelling. The tone and edge in his voice screamed, 'Don't fuck with me.'

Harrison smiled as she stumbled through the phases of apology, hoping that she hadn't violated something very, very dangerous, and had Harrison Trenton looking to even the score. The next few things he said likely came out of left field. Fired? Of course not Mallory! What you did shows a willingness to try adn tap resources made available by your workplace. Perhaps a touch outside of your reach, but that kind of assumption shows ambition! And ambition is something that I applaud in my workers. Not only are you not fired, but you will find on your next cheque a retroactive raise for 0.25 an hour. Though from someone with experience in this kind of thing, I recommend you make such requests in person. It makes things go smoother. Harrison told her, his tone taking on a tinge of surprise, followed by an almost jovial tone that made him sound amused. I'll see who might be available for the case. Make sure you're at the appointment. 1230 sharp. In fact, be there a bit early. It looks better when you've already been given drinks. Harrison told her calmly. Tell your friend she's in good hands. He hung up then, not giving her a chance to really respond. He smiled at that point. It was the simple things that gave him the most joy in life, small moments that let him mildly annoy someone, and get away with it. Lloyd did it twice as often. He shook his head, adn went back to his paperwork. Once it was done, he'd go through personel, see who was available.

Mallory woke up at around ten and went straight for a shower. By the time she finished getting showered and dressed, it was nearly eleven and she walked into the kitchen to find Esther reading and drinking coffee. She found it strange she drank coffee but then probably zoned in on the fact she didnt sleep much. Especially with the way her hand cupped her cheek like she was actually falling asleep while reading. Esther was falling asleep while reading. Three cups of coffee did jack shit! Hearing footsteps though, she looked up and smiled a tired smile to her friend. Morning. Morning. Sleep well? Esther asked. Like a baby. You? Not so much. She shrugged and downed the rest of her coffee. We should probably head out soon. Okay, let me just go use the bathroom and freshen up a bit. I feel like I fell asleep somewhere along chapter ten. She nodded to her kindle, causing Mallory to laugh slightly. They left their apartment, took Mallorys car and drove into town. Esther hated going into the congested town of Manhattan. She was so glad she did not work in Manhattan but was more than happy to make the commute to Brooklyn. But Mallory was ace at this since she grew up in Manhattan, they both went to Columbia and now here they were. She parallel parked and paid the meter before getting out. Esther followed suit, swinging her bag over her shoulder and straightening her black and red striped v-neck that had long sleeves. Below that, she wore black trouser pants, her best ones and her favorite ankle boots, similar to what she wore yesterday but a slightly different style, and just an inch higher in heel. Her hair was untied that day and lay down her back and curled over her chest, just ever so slightly. Her hair wasnt curly but it wasnt straight either. It was wavy. Naturally and it was a bitch to handle at times but thankfully today, she made it work. They walked into Caf Noir where they took a seat and both ordered something to drink. Mallory ordered lunch. Esther didnt have much of an appetite but she kept the coffee coming. So what if she was wired by the time the meeting started? At least she wouldnt fall asleep. You need to eat. Mallory tried pushing half of her club sandwich on her. Esther just shook her head. A hand came over hers and Esther looked up at her friend. Its going to be okay. Your career wont be ruined. How do you know?

Harrison parked the Lincoln. There was a parking spot reserved for the firm, at a rather large expense, but he often found it useful to say the least. He swung out, and lifted his hat. Traffic was heavy, but of course it was. It was non on a Saturday. he checked his watch. Right on schedule A five minute walk to the cafe, adn he'd be there promptly at 1230. Just like he'd planned it. Each step he took was bringing him closer to the point that he'd be unable to simply foist this off on someone else, but that was a fading concern. At worst this would be a six week case, and only hen if the student had rich parents who were willing to make a debacle out of this. Harrison almost hoped they would, simply so he would have something amusing to do. He appraoched the cafe, and looked to the booth. Mallory was there all right. His secretary was a striking woman, but he had a thing for striking women as his secretary. They had to be competant first and last, but if they could carry a decent look...so muchh the better. It made thigns easier when he had to attend a firm function, he could simply drag his secretary along for the ride. He'd not gotten any complaints on the issue in the past, and doubted he ever would. But the woman across from her... she was different. Not a classic beauty, and she looked...a little haggard, but then that likely came from not being in the best of spirits. But she nonetheless carried off the look she chosen for herself well. She was...well balanced was the only term he could find in his mind for her. But that was a high praise from one Harrison Trenton. He picked through the cafe, smiling at the waitress who bat her lashes and gave him a smirking smile that told him that she was more than willing to see to any of his needs. He put her from his mind after ordering. She was one of the many willing to throw themselves onto his bed, and that made her...less than noticable. He heard the last bit of excahnge between Mallory and her friend, and he had to smile. If that wasn't a straight line, his name wasn't Harrison Trenton. And such came along so infrequently, he would feel it a waste if he didn't take up the moment. Because she called the best law firm in all of the country, adn asked for help. And because one of the senior partners happned to be available, and took the case up. Good afternoon ladies. Malory, good to see you. And you must be the young lady in need of help. My name is Harrison Trenton, and I'm to be your lawyer in this case. He explained. he removed his hat carefully, and tucked it under his arm. With that, he took a seat, and waited for what he'd said to sink in and get a reply.
