Movies watched last night:
- The Proposition, which was quite not what I expected, but not bad. - Night at the Museum, which was a lot better than I anticipated, with much gayness. I think I've read some fic from this... - Fantastic Four, which was blah dee blah and gods, I wanted to slap that Torch guy so hard. - The Dark Knight. Just because. *hearts*
Things done after work:
- went on a short drive with my boss. Awkward! Yeah. - went to pick up my DVD drive. - played with my new DVD drive. - showed my poor flatmate some mvids, Penn&Teller and other stuff.
In conclusion:
*happy*
Now I have this very silly urge to scribble down some idiotic ficlets about a kid whose mom and dad have divorced and his dad is now seeing another man. Please, someone stop me!

Okay, so Little Britain USA...
I may have the worst sense of humor on earth, but I laughed my ass off when ( spoiler )
Yes, it was hideously overboard and OMG but I laughed anyway.
*not even embarrassed*
The weird thing is, I never even noticed the laugh track on Little Britain before. Had to go to YouTube and watch those Sebastian and Prime Minister bits like half a dozen times before I even realized they had the same damn track over them too.
Now I wonder just how many episodes will they air until this new show gets canceled. I'd say it'll be a miracle if they air more of this.
9/28/08 10:05 pm
Okay, so this new series, Merlin...
I managed to watch exactly 3 and a half minutes before I was laughing so hard I almost wet myself. Oh Tony Head, how desperately in need of a few quid you must be...
*shakes her head*
Definitely a no. Just....No.
9/18/08 12:17 am
My autumn of watching telly has finally started.
*hearts*
The new House was excellent. Heartbreaking but excellent, and that's usually the best way. As long as there's still some hope, that is. I'm really looking forward to watching this season.
Stopped watching the Tudors after the first season. Did glance at how they deal with what happens to Thomas Moore and Anne Boleyn. but other than that, meh. Maximising misery. Not that history wasn't all about killing and back stabbing, but anyway. I don't have to watch it.
Also... Sam Neill! OMG That old fart just broke my heart.
Coherency? Nah. Not today.
9/16/08 01:56 am
Still sick as a dog. I'm writing porn, finding it really hilarious when my head's swimming.
Hee!
Just realized it's about exactly 10 years since I wrote my first Batman slash fic. Yeah. Time does seem to fly. Old bitter fandom queen? Me?
*laughs*
I may have watched Batman Begins again today. There's just so much pretty in that movie! Also, in addition to the whole Bruce and Gordon thing, I keep seeing more tension between the old guys. But hey, anything with Morgan Freeman is a good thing, right?
Should go and read some crap, just to see if it actually makes sense while I'm high on meds and fever. Maybe I'll try to read that book, Twilight, to see why everyone's babbling about it.
Yes, this flu is definitely killing my brain cells. Not that there was much left to kill in the first place.
9/13/08 11:38 pm
I wonder if it's the autumn or something else, but I seem to exist in a weird haze. It's dark and I'm constantly tired. Yippee.
Should probably do something fun soon, maybe some shopping on Monday. Not that retail therapy saves the day, but it won't hurt either. I think I need more socks anyway. And maybe a nice new scarf.
/girly
It's once again all about work and sleep, work and sleep, and I think there hasn't been enough sleep. Oh well. That's easily rectified.
9/11/08 12:13 am
I'm working on a fic where someone is obsessed with food, going a bit mental and stuffing his face all the time, hoarding food.
Now I wonder how Enid Blyton ever managed to write her Famous Five books. If the characters keep eating constantly, it means the author keeps thinking about food all the time.
All the damn time.
Thus far, I've managed to keep it with a cup of hot chocolate and some nectarine, but I think I'd better drop this part of the fic and work on the porn plot or something. Otherwise I'll end up raiding the fridge again.
I keep watching fics appear on the various lists I'm following, and they're all WIPs. Every single one of them. This is making me feel way old school. Not to mention just old.
Also, am slipping from my old rule of not reading WIPs. We all know how this will end, right? Yeah, with me whining and complaining and ranting. I bet you're all looking forward to it...
9/8/08 02:41 pm
Watched two movies last night, ( American Gangster and Equilibrium )
It's a good thing I'm not an official movie reviewer. :)
9/6/08 11:53 pm
drabble: batman nolanverse (Lucius Fox/ ?)
This is what happens when I think about stuff too hard... Angst!
Lucius Fox/[mystery guy is mysterious]. As if you can't guess already; like I haven't slashed certain pairings since Batman Begins... In a form of a ( drabble )
Should work on the cliche Batman/Gordon, but blah dee blah. I'll just go and get another cup of coffee...
9/4/08 04:31 am
Hmmm...
This sounded like a good idea: 'I'll go and re read that Black Hawk Down RPS fic with Bana and Isaacs'. Maybe it would have been a good idea, except that now I'm up at 4.30 in the morning, wondering if there's anything new written about these two guys.
Yes, I'm not afraid to admit some of my ideas are bad.
but hey, sometimes it's not the fact that it's porn, but the fact that it's awesomely hot porn that matters</i>
8/26/08 12:59 am
*sigh*
Haven't searched for fic to read for weeks, and now that I did, the first ones I found are so totally crappy I'm laughing here.
Does that make me a bad person?
I'm just.... come on! Mush is all good and well at times, but when it's stupid OOC mush... No.
It's like at some point someone decided mush has to follow a certain pattern ( under here )
*has a nervous breakdown*
Oh well. I just kinda hoped I'd find something decent from a rare pairing I've loved for ages. Heh. As if that's gonna happen...
8/25/08 03:10 pm
Even with all that scrubbing, there was till that whiff of cat pee in the air... Until I realized someone had peed in the curtains in my bedroom.
*kills a cat*
Okay, so now must go shopping for new curtains. About time; I've had the same curtains forever. But am too lazy to move today, so instead, just went to eBay and bought some Dark Knight junk.
Retail therapy is the best after all.
8/24/08 09:04 pm
Today, have mostly been writing porn.
How was your day?
8/22/08 01:30 am
So it's farewell to SGA. Too bad. It's not total crap, at least most of the episodes. Hope they'll make those TV movies and make all the rabid fans happy.
Have been listening to John Barrowman's music, and am still in awe with his version of Bryan Adams' Heaven. Also, that song from Beauty and the Beast made me go all sniffle.
Which reminds me... Is there anyone in the earth who actually liked the prince in Beauty and the Beast (Disney) and preferred him to the Beast? Anyone? Like... Anywhere? No?
Should go and do more cleaning... so instead I'll do the ten most shaggable people -list here. I don't think I've done that in a long time.
1. David Tennant 2. Christian Bale 3. Jim Gordon (the one played by Gary Oldman) 4. Helen Mirren 5. Damian Lewis 6. Donna Noble 7. Michael Garibaldi 8. um... I must be insane, but... Bruce Willis *facepalm* 9. Mac Taylor (with or without Flack...) 10. Radek Zelenka
Hmmm... Lots of characters there this time. I wonder what that tells of me. Probably nothing you didn't already know... :)

Managed to sleep for four hours (my fault! spent the night writing) and then had a weird Hamlet dream. It was kind of about David Tennant, but he was sometimes Mr. Nose, so I have no idea who eventually played the whiny Prince of Denmark. The production went from excellent to terrible, and I seem to remember there were boobies somewhere.
I woke up around the time Hamlet was asking Ophelia out over burgers. Maybe it's better that way.
This is quite likely some kind of a sign! Or a stress reaction from all the work. Weird. I'm not even going to see the RSC production for another 3 months.
Subconscious! Leave me alone!
8/6/08 05:34 am
Hmmm... I think I just wrote a fic. Whoa. It's been... Months, I guess. And it's sort of... rated G. Not really slash... Wrote it on one sitting...
There must be something seriously wrong with me!
*shocked*
I think I'll harass my trusted betas tomorrow with it. Whoa. This is exciting. A fic! Whoa.
But hey, at least now I know I can still do it. So it's a good thing.
8/4/08 07:53 pm
*worries*
Morgan Freeman was in a car accident. He's hospitalized, so I'm hoping he'll be fine.
Sometimes it's frightening how news like these makes me feel.
7/31/08 03:51 am
Did absolutely nothing worthy of mentioning today.
*happy*
7/30/08 07:42 pm
Help!
In the movie Spartacus, they do the good old 'I am Spartacus' -thing at the end. Can anyone recall if it was the real Spartacus who said it first or not?
*goes back to wrestle the bunny*
7/29/08 03:07 am
It's so hot in here, even deep breathing's making me sweat. Great. Did I mention I totally hate this time of the year? I didn't?
Well I do.
The Dark Knight was awesome on the second viewing, and then incredible on the third. I still get all misty eyed at certain parts, and whoa. Now the bunnies are kind of eating my life, but I can bet I won't actually finish writing any of them. Oh well. It's not like there's a huge following for Batman/Gordon anyway...
What is it with these angsty characters anyway? Well, angsty or then somehow odd, or at least an odd couple. Hey, I'm thinking about a dude in a rubber suit. You can't get much stranger than that.
I need a Jim Gordon icon. Have I mentioned that I have a thing for Gary Oldman? Yeah. Kinda goes without saying.
7/24/08 11:30 pm
Pointless fandom related stuff I thought today:
1. *laughs*
So yeah, it's no secret that I find the whole Fandom Secret thing rather ridiculous. Whenever it's one of those 'secrets' where I'd hit it or I ship it, I wonder why bother to call something like that a secret. Whenever someone says they couldn't tell their friends X I wonder why they keep such lousy friends.
Does it show I'm not exactly a teenager anymore?
Anyway. I do go and read the damn comm every now and then, and stumbled onto the best fandom secret ever a moment ago. Yes. My sentiments exactly.
No, am not even ashamed of myself.
2. John Barrowman singing Bryan Adams' Heaven isn't bad. Who would have thought?
3. Why is there no Penn/Teller slash? Teller has that air of a kinky bastard and Penn is just too loud and I keep imagining... Er... I mean, I keep... oh hell. You know what I think! Right?
4. The Dark Knight tomorrow.
*squee*
7/24/08 02:02 am
Facebook.
Y/N?
Any thoughts appreciated. :)
7/19/08 01:13 am
Today's been an excellent day. :) Went to see the Casa de Bunnies and spent hours just babbling about everything.
Need to watch History Boys, but while waiting for my copy, I'd like to read some fic! Gimme!
I'm now contemplating on making that anti-rec list with suggestions appreciated. We need to list the worst of the worst! Bathing fics! Daddy!tops with no warnings! Weepy guys and helpless idiots!
*runs screaming*
Though I slept ridiculously late, I'm once again tired. Should go to bed, but will read this one fic... Just this one... *snore*
7/18/08 12:38 am
Just finished watching Letters from Iwo Jima. I have the feeling I should say something profound, but am so in awe, I can't think of anything.
Well, I guess I can always say whoa.
Whoa!
The Flags of our Fathers wasn't bad, but it didn't make me as awed as this one. Though I must say the old stone face can direct. Yeah.
Also watched Death of a President a few days ago, and I still feel totally freaked out by it. Amazingly done, and the whole story arc was more than believable.
I guess the one thing connecting these movies is the feeling of disillusionment. Have rarely seen WWII movies with such harsh view on everything, feeling more like those Vietnam stories than the second 'great war'. No nationality (or if you count DoaP, religion) can claim the role of a hero.
Once again. Whoa.
Now I wonder if a few rather shallow comments about Ken Watanabe would totally ruin this post? Yeah, thought so. Therefore, will only say that the acting was awesome. ;)
Also, after the other movies I've watched lately (OMG 10 000 bc!), my faith in the movie industry has now been restored. At least for a while...
