Hey Hollywood. STOP REMAKING PERFECTLY GOOD SHOWS.
Instead of "Americanizing" shows like Life on Mars and AbFab, maybe you should try showing the original versions. Like Doctor Who, I can assure you that these shows will also have an audience here in the States. No one wants a repeat of that wretched Red Dwarf USA fiasco. Or Coupling. Or that insipid Blackpool remake. Seriously, WTF are you guys on?
This is almost as upsetting as the RHPS remake or the alleged Hairspray sequel.

At long last, the month of excruciating exams is at an end. Now I have a brief hiatus before it starts up again. The next one is next Friday. Is almost like a vacation. Only with homework and classes and other non-vacationy things.
Took the morning to catch up on sleep, think it finally cured me of the cold and headache that has been plaguing me due to stress.
Heroes is being disappointing this season, luckily my other Monday shows are doing a nice job of cheering me up. Also, I am ridiculously happy that Pushing Daisies is back on. Shiny show is shiny.
Working on Exodar rep for Therani, if I have to play a filthy alliance now and then, at the very least she'll have an Elekk to decrease her lameness. Returned to Zan for a bit last night, missed my orc! With my luck, the patch'll come in the midst of my next batch of tests and I won't have a chance to enjoy it.

Last Alliance - Shissou |
] |
Always Walking Away by Amy Wolf - DW
Author Summary: He never thought he'd say that many goodbyes to the same person.
Why I love it: I have this thing where I long for ____ is secretly a fobwatched ____ fic. This hits that (twice!) in a gorgeous twisted timeline sort of way.
Threads That Are Golden Don’t Break Easily by paperclipbitch - TW/Narnia
Author's Summary: Susan meets Captain Harkness at various points in her life.
Why I love it: This explains away the write-off of Susan at the end of the Narnia series and is sad and beautiful and just go read it. Yes, even if you don't like TW. (This means you, Rinney)
Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose by synecdochic - SGA
Author's Summary: SGC finally stops calling him by December. Rodney celebrates by writing a final exam for his relativity class so difficult that it reduces four students to tears in the exam hall. Upon reflection, he decides to be merciful and offer partial credit.
Why I love this: I have no words for how heartbreakingly awesome this is.
My Name is John Sheppard: I'm a Mathematician by thingswithwings - SGA/Mathnet (yes, seriously)
Why I love it: This is on the list more for being sheer delicious crack than for any mind blowing epiphanies. But still. It's Mathnet.
Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodies by copperbadge - TW/SGA
Author's summary: Ianto neglected to introduce himself as he informed the senior staff that Atlantis was now under the jurisdiction of Torchwood, whatever Torchwood is. Set during S1, pre-Siege.
Why I love this: I read pretty much all of Sam's fics, and while this is probably not nearly as well known as his TW meets a LOLcat crackfic or his HP epics, it is definitely a worthwhile read. TW lays a smackdown on SGA for various crimes of stupidity committed in S1. I wish someone had called SGA on their crap, and while Team TW is not considered competent by any definition of the word, a coup is successfully pulled.
This list is more for my benefit than yours, my memories have become slightly unwieldy (need to do a major overhaul of those) and I don't want to lose track of these. You may be able to tell from this list that the amount of crossovers that I am reading has increased exponentially. You can all just thank your lucky stars that I refrained from reccing some of the crackier ones I've been devouring. Like Chuck vs. the Crazy Alien Vampires.

Dead Like Me - Theme |
] |
Man, it's been forever since I updated. Heading back to FL next Sunday, with a stopover in Maryland to see K and her boy. Going to see Janet on the 19th, after I get in. She's heading to NY on the 20th. Still waiting on one of my loans, classes start the 25th. Looking forward to seeing the roomie (and stealing his Stargate dvds).
My to-do list before I go consists of finishing Farscape and Death Note, packing, getting the car inspected, packing, spoiling the babycakes, and more packing. Have recently gotten hooked on Middleman, and there are new episodes of Psych and Eureka to keep me amused.
Trip to MN was stellar, sisters and their sprogs came with. Have reaffirmed my vow to NEVER EVER have children. I like being able to return them to their owners at the end of the day. Saw Get Smart and Mamma Mia in MN, Batman with T&W when we got back. Rerolled ally to keep the Rinney happy. Was reminded of my seething hatred for most of the ally races. Am sucking it up, but I miss my Orc and Tauren. Matt's not been on any of his TBS toons since he left for his vacation right before I went to MN. I should really leave him a note in the guild info letting him know which server we decided on.

Weak sauce, world. My cell phone was stolen on Wednesday. I'd had it for less than a week. :(
In other news, I have a test monday (Analytical Chemistry). So will be having No Fun this weekend. At least there's no lab report due.
In more cheerful news, mah Rinney has sent me 30 Rock. And it does indeed Rock. /cheer

As many of you probably recall, tomorrow today yesterday is was my birthday. So in celebration I have had been plotting my own (smaller) version of Extermination by Chocolate.
And here's the result!
Terrifying, isn't he? Almost be sorry to eat him.
Was not sorry at all
Also, it's GB Weekend. And y'all know what that means. Garage. Sales. Fabulous haul this yesterday Saturday morning, and boo didn't even have to borrow money from me.
Anyone want this half bowl of frosting I have left over?
ETA (as LJ will still not let me post this, WTF)
Awesome b-day haul. Jolene got me a Dalek shirt, boo and Steve got me Stranger than Fiction, and mom and dad got me the expansion for WoW, a prepaid game card, a Republicans for Voldemort T-shirt, and Supernatural season 1. Wendy gave me an awesome birthday phone call.
Cousin Jess and I are going to see PotC3 on Friday.
Girl-sprog was overly excited by the cookies used to decorate the mini Dalek. She grabbed a good third of the ho-ho used for his eye stalk before anyone noticed. The rest of the movie was spent by all ensuring she didn't sneak out to the dining room again. She was thrilled when we finally gave them to her. Though she insisted they were cupcakes.

Seriously LJ, WTF.

Marj took a vote in our Anatomy lab group and forced me to go home. Dick even voted, though he's at the next table. I apparently look as sick as I feel.
Feel bad because Cam and Zeeshan weren't there to help with dissection.
Drinking delicious juice and then back to sleep.

Re: Your Brains |

The bus I was on rear-ended the car in front of us as I was on my way to my Neuroanatomy exam this morning. I'm okay. My shoulder was a bit sore, but it was the same one that I hurt when my chair fell apart on me so I disregarded it. It seems okay now.
Also, headachey and nauseous for the past two days. Oral Physiology can be blamed for the nausua, as I had to go over the notes on the physiology thereof for my exam tomorrow.
Today's exam was fine. Only worth 5% anyways. First down out of the four I have this week.
Won't be online much (if at all) til Thursday's over.

Midterm tomorrow, then I can relax for a bit. Review session in half an hour.
Nine has (finally) shown up on Heroes. He said "Fantastic". I died of glee. Plus, I've started catching up on How I Met Your Mother. It should be illegal for me to want to sex up a TV show. I managed to find the themesong on my own, without pestering Rinney, who is my go-to themesong girl.
Went to dinner for Zeeshan's birthday on Friday. Erin and I got there before anyone else. People being late for 1. Reservations and 2. a surprise dinner really pisses me off. (DUDE, FORTY MINUTES LATE). Then Saturday, I went to costco for the first time. And spent way more than I meant to. But I don't think I have to go shopping again for over a month, so it's all good. This was followed by movie night at Erin's, where I forced them to watch Jack of All Trades and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Much laughter was had by all. I want to abduct Erin's breadmaker. Homemade bread=the win.
Boo, you need to be sending me pictures and movies of my nephew now. I am going through withdrawal. Or you can send me the real thing. I'll take good care of him for a couple of hours.

Laptop is in for repairs. ETA unknown. Keep your fingers crossed that I get it back before I head back to school on the 2nd.
Christmas haul was excellent. Got many books that I wanted, new jeans, Steveikins got me Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and boo got me a fraggle and Pinky and the Brain.
Much better results than the secret santa at school.

Snow day yesterday! Divine intervention FTW. Biochem exam, which I was most worried about, has been postponed.
Til JANUARY.
All I've got now is Practice Admin and Occlusion next week. Heading home on Wednesday. At last. Haven't been home since August.
malachony had her baby at 3:54 this morning. I'm an auntie (again). It's a boy, and last I'd heard hadn't been named. If anyone was online, I'd be hounding them for details. And pics. I really thought she'd hold out til I got home. Oh, well.

Passed Anatomy (high on the practical, mediocre on the written). Just finished Oral Med, which ROCKED.
2 Down, 3 to go. Biochem next (on Friday), which is going to be killer. I'm fretting. Review class at 11:30. If you see me online anytime in the near future, smack me.

I've started watching Bones while studying for my finals (Shut up, it completely helped with Anatomy).
In the pilot, there is one thing that bothered me. At the very beginning, Bones mentions that she's the only forensic anthropologist around, and the next closest is in Montreal.
My Physical Anthro prof back at YCP is a forensic anthropologist (though semi-retired) and is still called in on police cases. He was actually in this discovery channel thing on the Boston Strangler. But anyways, for those who don't know, YCP is about an hour and a half from DC.
I suppose you could argue that the show takes place in an alternate universe, in some sort of reality Limbo where all TV shows take place, and that my professor doesn't exist there and I shouldn't get all indignant on his behalf. However, if you extrapolate the approximate radius from DC to Montreal into a circle, it covers most of the east coast (excluding Florida and the upper part of Maine) and extends west out as far as Indiana. Are we supposed to believe that there's not a single forensic anthropologist in that entire area? I call BS, Bones writers.
Back to Oral Medicine.
