SO Natalia is finally back...and I can barely stand her. ARRRGH. Why are you such a MOLLUSK?! Jesus fucken christ.

Anything But Conservative!

Ugh, Harper minority. However, we were just a few seats from a con majority, which is balls-scary.

ALSO...

My interest in Lindsay Lohan has gone up 200%. I WONDER WHY, haha. Not only has one of the most heteronormative tween starlets become a huge gay, complete with andro-hipster girlfriend, she's also become a righteous baby queer ranting against palin's homophobia. Love it.

Oh, and Madonna. Railing against the "I abused power in office" pitbull. Then she yelled "Guess who's not invited to my party? SARAH FUCKING PALIN. Get that bitch outta here!" Win, win.

Good god.

Is she a joke? No, really.

Err..HI, LJ!

Who has midnight Harry OotP tickets?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

Bouncy excited, since I'm expecting the movie to make me enjoy the ending of the 5th book much more. (Brain room WUT? Sirius walks in FALLS IN A HOLE AND DIES? WTF.)

Of Pikeys, Poker, Birthdays, Sluts and Breast Cancer.

One more year of teenagehood left is a scary thought. WHATEVS, I'm not worrying about that until next year at this time.

But I've had quite the fun time this semester; from strip poker night at Jess and Sophia's which resulted in ten girls (and a few boys) running across St-Louis Square in lingerie and boots to our rather un-directed French play to nights with friends-who-will-not-be-named dressed in scotch tape. I even have a stable fuck buddy! There is so much less pressure with JRO and she sleeps with other people too, so unlike before it is all good.

Can we link from facebook? That would be grand. ETA, we can't. Balls. That was birthday thursday...Also, SO DRUNK. Goodness.

However, this hasn't been the best birthday week, because my mom has been diagnosed with stage III breast cancer.

And it fucking scares me. This isn't helped by her characteristic tendency to play/be the martyr and say things like "I'm going to die" "maybe it spread in my bones" ETC. I'm also mad. Mad that she was 56 when her mom had cancer and I'm just fucking 19 - how can she play the "I'm already too tired to fight card?" WTF. Oh, it's nice to vent here because god knows this is uber taboo in the oppressive environment that is now home.

I also don't want to see her huge crazy curly fro go, her curves, and her vivacity - her name is "Viva" afterall. Ma. "invasive" and "stage III" freak me the FUCK out. Friends have been great, and thank god for them - Jess Ro read me a Roald Dalh story on the phone with her usual crazy inflection. On the shitter side of things, I'm getting behind on readings, POLI 227 has a great prof but boring, boring material. But Katrin Bozeva is still the BEST EVER, I madly love her. Wouldn't get up at 8 am on a Friday if it wasn't for a conference with her. Finally, we've made many jokes about the "smaller, perkier boobs - like you've never been pregnant (tm)" that my mom will possibly get after surgery/chimo/ect. She's always complaining about her D set.

*SQUEEZES* I miss you all terribly.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, rezie has linked me to Catherine Tate's Lauren Cooper on youtube and that has frankly made my month. FACE. FACE. BOVVERED. BILLY. BURGER. I ain't BOVVERED!!! Are you disrespecting me? Are you calling my mom a pikey? Are you calling my dad a lardass? He ain't a lardass though!
I've been doing it all week. It's worse than the SHOES, BETCH vid.

kinda funny, innit though?

I've also um, watched 3 seasons of Bad Girls streamed online. And I've been saying people are bleeding cows, innit. And all that jazz! A whole set of fun manipulative bitches, with gay vibes everywhere. MY KIND OF SHOW, innit?

that is well bad!

also, observe the fannishness explode on the least fannish social networking site:

Bette Porter and Laura Roslin haven't poked me back. WATHEVS.

i'm not bovvered. I'm not bovvered though. Lookat my face. Does this face look bovvered? No, cause i ain't bovvered. FACE. ROSLIN. POKE. BETTE. I AIN'T BOVVERED! Oh, Lauren Cooper..

eta -- I've missed LJ. As in, actually updating instead of just going through my flist everyday. loves.

Things I Have Learnt In University So Far:

It is a lot of fun. Possibly moreso than cegep, and that was fun times. High school seems so far away and terrible, terrible, terrible. At McGill there are also comfy squishy blue couches to fall asleep on every day.
Wicked is beyond superfabulous, and so are Megan Hilty (SQUEE) and Sho Bean in Toronto. When you get a chance to see Megan Hilty on stage, do not miss out on the chance to stalk her. Which, sadly, is what I did, seeing as Raimi, Jess and Sasha were waiting in a pub, not to mention Chris and his twin having seen the show as well. I'm not sure they would've appreciated waiting outside the SD for half an hour. *g*
Having sex does not clarify your sexual orientation. Whatsoever.
Also, solo sex = FOR THE WIN, for there is less drama. And it's always good.
...but on the other hand, the "web" and tween pseudo L-Wordish drama with students, TAs and teachers and oh my! is quite hilarious. I've never been one for gossip before, and quite like watching Laguna Beach, or..okay, fine, ANTM, you just can't look away. And you adore it.
I miss being spastically excited for a new ep of teevee. I enjoy Heroes, despite its fluffy apocalypse and generally being a dumbed down version of The 4400 s1. Also, who can take "Save the cheerleader! Save the world!" seriously? BSG is wonderful, but always less exciting when it finishes its mini-arcs. I wish they'd have stayed on new caprica longer...
I might have done better if I had opened some textbooks. HEH. Btw, punzerel, must give you back your Hist IR ones! Also, facebook has ruined any academic aspirations I had when entering university, and I shall finish a plumber. Possibly a crackless one.
Borat was a glorious hour and a half of political incorectness. I do think stuffing Pamela in the faux-blanket was simply magnificient. HAHA.
NICOLE KIDMAN is cast as Mrs Coulter in the HDM movie!

they lauched the website! December 2007! Meep, a whole year is quite a long time...

I knew Pullman had envisionned Nicole as his IMO, most intriguing character, but I didn't believe she'd actually sign on to do the project. Woo! As for my second favorite, Daniel Craig as Asriel is..PERFECT. I was worried because I couldn't even cast him well in my head.

I am, however, outraged by the fact that Mrs Coulter has SHORT, BLONDE HAIR. WHY. Argh. There is so much emphasis on her shiny, entrancing, long dark locks in the bookverse that...heh.

If I can't stomach that, I don't know how I will deal that the studio is omitting to call the Church *the Chuch* and merely referring to it as the Magisterium. Heh. Not to mention it will not make sense by the second book, since Pullman is re-writing Milton's Paradise Lost. I WROTE MY IB MEMOIR ON THIS! Kthnxbye.
I actually have a long, typed reaction and commentary on Wicked (book, I'm not fannishly interested in the musicalverse; I just obsess over the actresses and the music) post reading it, and SoaW this summer. I'll get around to posting it soon.
Lectures start the 3rd. January 3rd. GOODNESS THAT IS TERRIBLE.
I have attempted to fix the dates on my LJ, because for some reason it wouldn't let me post in the future and perpetuate what made my LJ so dysfunctional. ;) So...this entry is the first in a long time to be dated correctly, and the rest is nuts.

Thinking of the victims of the Dawson shooting three days ago.

It's just...something that doesn't happen *here*, you know? Maya got out okay, however she's the ultra nervous type and she's freaked out by all of this. Dom's friend Alex witnessed Anastasia get killed, which is extremely horrifying. Steph was outside the jew caf smoking and she's never been happier about that, heh. My cousin Sarah only had class in the afternoon so she obviously didn't show up, although her friend Dave was shot - in the arm, he's okay now. I'm so thankful nothing happened to people I know.

summer

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 04:52:54 GMT

I'm starting lectures in 8 hours. EIGHT. University? Me? Are you KIDDING? *blink*
OH, oh, oh. Sandrine's dad just posted a mini making of of our play!!! We seem much calmer than we were. Hee. See if you can spot me. ;) Or Max SKIPPING off stage right at the end. HAHAHA.
So, yeah. I might have seen Wicked and MET EDEN ESPINOSA AT THE STAGE DOOR.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HER AND HER SHAGGY BROWN HAIR AND GREEN FINGERNAILS AND SILVER SHARPIE.

There is SO MUCH LOVE here, even if it was a tad awkward at first because I practically shoved the drawing I did of her on the bus ride in her face. But she was insanely cute and really, really, really shy which is quite funny since it doesn't match her powerful voice at *all*. Also, I don't approve of how I look like ass on that pic.
Since I'm all over Eden I give you her DG from the August 15th show that emmer69 was at as well!! Jeez, there's nothing more stressful than trying to get a boot when you're sitting by the middle stairs. Oy.

That's the only vid where you see her up close. And it's FUCKING. AWESOME.

Oh, they took off her last performance in BKLYN! NOES!
Soooooooo, frosh week is over, and it was insane fun. Pub crawls (even if our leaders - mostly Olivia, the Whore With Beer as she called herself - were all GET DRUNK FROSHIES!! GET DRUNK!! GET SHITFAAAAAAAACED! and we're like, with the ONE free shot per bar that's included? So we just proceeded to do just that on our money.) The Booze Cruise wins, though. Definitely wins. Last night we crashed the rad frosh - the more alt/hippie/artsy one - to see the independent film screenings at someone's loft on papineau. OH and there was also TV McGill following our group to do a reality tv-ish show, so we had to make up some fake laguna-ish drama. Pretty entertaining. I mostly went around telling people I'd show them the city if I could crash in their dorm, which I did already. *g*

that meme!

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 20:30:06 GMT

(...like the past weekend in which I feel asleep in a room with 11 noisy drunk theater crazies.)
× I would rather read than watch TV. (I'd rather read than randomly watch TV, but I'm more fannish over my favorite shows than a book, I guess. Wicked notwithstanding.)	× I like reading fact more than fiction.	✓ I have pulled an all-nighter on an assignment I was given a month to do. (STORY OF THE PAST TWO YEARS. Finish at 7.30 am and get ready for school!! Although in my defense there's so much IB shit per day that you couldn't possibly start something a month in advance because you have the previous work to finish.)

× I once spent Christmas completely alone because there was a miscommunication on which parent was supposed to have me that night.	× There have been times when I have wondered "Why was I born?" and may/may not have cried over it.

× I own a collection of retro games consoles.	✓ The thought of physical exercise makes me shiver. (Definitely not sporty. Wish I was!!)	× I have hit someone with a dead fish. (HAHA.)

× I have gone from wishing I was a girl to revelling in being a boy to feeling like a girl again in the span of five minutes, and not cared a whit for my actual sex.	✓ I am unashamedly bisexual, and have different motivations for my desires for different genders. (I don't have different motivations for each gender. What does a teenager think of? Heh. Although I was inching towards lesbian/homoflexible it's going back to the center now and I AM CONFUSED, because it pisses me off that I can't figure it out faster.)	× I sometimes won't sleep a whole night or eat a whole day because I forget to.
× I find it impossible to get to sleep without some kind of music on.	× I dislike milk.	× I obsessively wash my hands.
× I always carry something significant around with me.	✓ Sometimes I'd rather wear a wig in day-to-day life than use my own hair. (Deffo. I am at war with mine and must redo the highlights...)	× I've pushed myself to become more self-aware and thereby more aware of others.
× Even though I live on my own I still cry sometimes because I miss my mother.	× I hand wrote all the HTML tags in this document. (I appreciate the snark of the one who did this meme!!)	✓ I've liked something which a majority of people claimed was either bad or weird. (shitload of butter on bread. And I do mean a shitload. There's also the lemon juice on pasta & tomato sauce!)
× I have been clinically dead for a brief period of time.	× Instead of feeling sympathy/empathy with people and their problems, I simply become annoyed.	× I participate/have participated in auto drag races and won.
× I do not 'get' most comedy acts.	✓ I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing.	× I don't like to chew gum.
✓ I am obsessed with history/historical things and can't wait for someone to build a time machine so I can be the first to use it. (HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY. Who else can claim utter ''fannish'' glee when the teacher brought American/Canadian papers depicting the 1917 Bolshevik revolution? Papers you recognize nonetheless? GLEE. Although I'm mostly interested in everything past the beginning of the 19th century. Again, HISTORY LOVE. And Poli Sci love, when it's specific and less thematic.)	× I can never remember for the life of me where I parked the car.	✓ I had the TEEN ANGST thing going for at least 2-3 years. (agh, I was such a brat when we went to live in France.)
× I wish people would be more empathic and honest with each other.	× I play Dungeons and Dragons weekly.	× I love to sing. (hahaha. If sing means sing badly to take a mockable video, then yes)
× I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up.	× I have a custom-built computer.	✓ I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it. (Especially if they're women, heh.)

× I am a twin!	× Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'. (Depends on the day.)	✓ Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else.
× I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes.	× I sleep more than 12 hours a day.	✓ I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough.
× I need more time to myself.	× I wish I was more open-minded.	× I hope that I go really prematurely grey.
✓ I download songs from the internet.	× I've just reenacted chapter 58 of Death Note with my best friend. (I've only watched the trailer.)	✓ I say random things to freak people out. (Maybe not to freak them out, but I am queen of random.)
× I'm still a little mad about the ending of Death Note. (I found out it was a manga and a movie's just been made, but...don't know the ending!)	× I love playing Truth or Dare.	✓ I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it.
× Music helps me remember that I am not alone.	× Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems.	✓ I think this survey is particularly long. (But fun.)
× I prefer my LJ friends to my real-life ones. (I prefer some great LJ friends to RL ones, and vice versa.)	× I can only hate someone that I love.	× I've ordered an extra two shots of espresso to an Americano at Starbucks.

Random:

- Just got back from a weekend at Lac Castor where we kids from the play rented a chalet to spend time together again that turned into the chalet of utter debauchery and great food. And skinny dipping, I have vids!
- I do need a second job, because I only have two shifts a week now. Meh.
- Work is fun when it involves throwing baby m&ms into Adam, Tim or Diane's mouths. Not to mention inventing chocolate waffle cones. AND all the free Ben & Jerry ice cream and smoothies I DEVOUR. Metabolism baby, don't quit me now!

FORZA ITALIA!!!!

Oh shit, I have to go to work and if they don't add the extra 30 mins I'll miss the end!

We had SO MUCH FUN, despite the slaving!

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 02:59:03 GMT

So I haven't talked about it much here, since I haven't really talked about anything in months (heh), but last Thursday was the second - and last - performance of our show, David Hare's Stuff Happens.

And wow, definitely my best experience in cegep.

Despite it being EXTREMELY intense - we sacrificed a week of our christmas vacation for it (10 am to 10 pm everyday!) as well as the easter holidays (11 am - midnight/2am!), and during the year it was 7 hours + a week, on Sundays and Wednesdays -

Our director was usually a big PAIN in the ass, as we spent so much attention on details - I won't tell you about the transition we practiced 22 times - and he was also completely heartless when it came to theatre invading schoolwork/RL. If you were sick or had a life-threatening exam the next day? You came to practice anyway. The night of our general rehearsal we ended at 1.30 am, THEN came home to continue my History oral, which I finished at 10 AM and presented at 10.30. LOL. Lots of Red Bull was consumed that day. We also *created* a lot of the props, as in building actual tables from the ikea box and wrestling with drills. Many parents complained about the absurdity and excessiveness, but hey, it was worth it in the end. Needless to say, the gang got close very quickly, and after taking apart the whole thing, we went out to eat around three am and all bawled at the end.

Not to mention the play lasts three hours, and showcases 50 characters while we're only 12 - I got off easy with Kofi Annan, Jack Straw, Laura Bush, YoYo Ma (don't ask), ElBaradei, Gerson, and a pro-war BBC journalist. Sandrine, who had only Colin Powell and a narrator in two scenes, had *massive* lengths of text (and I do mean massive, compared to Bush's one-line replies, lmao) to learn and had to be covered in dark foundation. We were also extremely ugly with our aging makeup and male wigs. We got pictures, which I'll post soon!

Sleeping in tomorrow with no play practice will be jarring! And I miss them SO much already I'd rather be with them and do it all again than go get hammered with friends.

And now I'm looking at my eight-pages long "feuille de déplacements" (all I had to do backstage in between scenes and behind the tulle, as well as all the precise movements on stage for every. damn. minute of those three hours) and thinking "I can't believe it's over..."

- V for Vendetta is incredibly AMAZING because it hits all my Woo, Dystopia! Revolution! Gov Conspiracy! kinks, and surprisingly has a big gay love behind the vendetta. Could've been better, yes, but the second half grips you and doesn't let go.

- On a side note, I finally started Wicked today, and am already half-way through. There is SO MUCH LOVE. It has officially sucked me in and now I'm obsessing all over the book/music/Idina/Kristin. Will someone point me towards good *bookverse* Glinda/Elphaba? Because I'm in that "I'll-accept-anything-OTP LIKE WOAH" stage, especially as the book indicates (subtextually, of course, and IMO) that it is Glinda who loves Elphie just a little more, contrarily to what we'd think. And I *adore* that.

- And since I seem to be jumping back into fannish things, Addison Shepherd is my grey's LOVE, and I gobble up all the Addison/Izzie (OTP!) and pre-canon Mark/Addison/Derek I can find. I've also named the ipod I got for my 18th "Addison". *g*

happy birthday to me

Mon, 13 Mar 2006 05:41:30 GMT

Who's legal March 12th? LEGAL!

..not that it changes much, but 18! Scary number. I've decided I don't truly need to be an adult until I'm 25.

What *was* really aggravating was missing the federal election by two-three weeks.

*squeezes you all because I really miss you* RL is going fabbity fab fab, even if my week off is ending tonight. NOES. Massive update is coming..soon?

ETA - I haven't updated in so long, I forgot about my LJ's warped time settings and to add a year, *g*.

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 04:21:53 GMT

I should clearly be working. But I'm not.

gacked from jennyo - the other version of the twelve characters meme.

1. Bree Van De Kamp
2. Irina Derevko
3. Jack Bristow
4. Nina Myers
5. Lilah Morgan
6. Nikita
7. Laura Roslin
8. William Adama
9. Michael Samuelle
10. Adam Carter
11. Jack Bauer
12. Madeline

Does 10 strike you as a voyeur or an exhibitionist?

Adam. Oh, Adam. If only you could see this. I’m actually having trouble answering, because while he's a big bad ambiguous MI5 mofo aka Mr. I-Invented-Pragmatism, he's not secluded and will talk about white undies out of the blue if it tickled his fancy. Hmm. Okay, voyeur.

Who in all the multiverse would 11 most likely bottom to?
He would clearly be dominated by Madeline ("Mr Bauer, I *know* all those innocent people you speak of will most likely die." Insert curteous yet snark-infused false smile), Bree (HEE), Nina (canon dom!), Michael, Roslin (her patience would literally kill him. "Make babies, Mr Bauer, not war! OUT THE AIRLOCK, BITCH!") and Adam (Carter, not Adama). I can’t choose. Irina would just send a minion do the job.
So - Jack Bauer would most likely bottom to Bree, because he'd be *completely* at loss. Day One would seem like a breeze. Snerk.

Would you rather do 3 or 5?
As much as I love my Spydaddy Jackstravaganza, this is clearly obvious. It’s a lie. It’s a lie-lah. Especially since Stephanie Romanov is incredibly fucking HOT, no other justification is needed. *g*

Blink!

Which of 4 and 1 would you rather have do you?
Bree or Nina? Oh, come ON. That’s horribly mean. Bree as domestic-dom or Nina In Mexico? I might just explode. ACK! Ok. Nina. Or wait. Since I'm going through my Marcia phase, give me Bree.

12 + 2 are having sex in an airplane. Construct a snippet of dialogue that happens during this encounter.
MADELINE/IRINA!! I swear I didn’t do that on purpose! Okay, I did. *g*

Sadly, I'm too brain dead to call up bunnies for the Terrorista Mile High Club. Might come back and edit tomorrow.

This clearly needs to be written. Badly. VERY badly!

eta - it amuses me that in the end, it would be watered down to Terrorist vs. Government. Irina would point that out, and Madeline would smirk.

Where are 5 and 9 most likely to have sex? Who on your flist is most likely to write it?
Oooh, Lilah/Michael! OOOH! She would taunt him and tempt him with Lilah!Mojo - however, he'd stay stoic until wordlessly invading her private space and turning her down with only three words a la Michael Mini Dialogue. He gives in a little later and Lilah rejoices until he admits that he was ordered to seduce her by Section. She would laugh it off and say that was expected, but it was worth it anyway. WOO!

Back to the question. Where? Does that matter? The White Room would be fun. *g* And I think flisty people WOULD write it, if they went out to rent/buy the wonder that is LFN (S2 especially) like I did. :-P

When 12 masturbates, s/he thinks about...
Nikita! Ops! ~~Orchids!~~

What is 11's favorite sex toy?
Rotflmao, Jack Bauer. A blow-up Nina doll to fuck with then shoot to vent his woobie anger?

Come up with a title for a 12/7/1 threeway. Would you read it? Would you write it? What would some of the warnings be?
Madeline/Roslin/Bree. HOW AWESOME.

!!

I'D READ IT. What a question. And if I could write the evol porn, *trust* me, I'd write it.

Who's more likely to be tied up during (consensual) sex, 2 or 6?
Hah. Nikita. Because Irina? Not the sub.

If 11 and 3 are carrying on a torrid and forbidden love affair, who's most likely to spill the beans? What would the other person do to retaliate?
Jack Bauer/Jack Bristow! They would bond over bitching about their respective betraying women that owninate their asses! Bauer Jack would be the first one to blab all over town, since he is clearly already out (poor Chappelle! Poor Tony!) causing Bristow Jack to repress and repress and repress until ________.

As a birthday present, 7's longtime lover 5 offers to do whatever 7 wants in bed. What's 7's secret birthday wish?
Lilah/Roslin! Although Lilah/Laura has a nicer ring to it. So, Laura would want Lilah to call her "Oh, Cylon God" in bed.

Choose a food item for 4 & 12 to use together.
Nina/Madeline (hot!). Food item? Hum. Anything. I JUST WANT THE PRON.

8 + 4 are in a fulltime D/s relationship. Who's the top?
Adama and NINA? Bwah. Nina is the toppiest of both. Or is she? Because Adama is Velvet Voice II after Kief. Yet he's been woobiefied after the shooting and the regroup in Home 2.

Which fetish is 9 least likely to indulge?
What fetish is Michael least likely to indulge - Feet fetish. I have a funny image in my head now. Or nose tickling. Don't ask where that came from, because I wouldn't know.

What would you do if you had 8 naked, willing, and ready in your bed? What would 5 do if s/he had 8 naked, willing and able in his/her bed?
I’d leave Adama naked and willing for kimbari and karihan or Roslin. Lilah would do the same. Unless she’s feeling particularly adventurous.

What wouldn't 10 + 4 tell their friends about their sex life, assuming they had both a mutual sex life and some friends?
Adam and Nina! Hee! Gossiping about their spy and sex life! She's pretty popular today. They would hide the fact that they've got both Zoe and Tom locked in the closet. *look*

10 gets a tattoo to declare his/her eternal love for 9. What does it say?
Adam is so considerate, isn't he? It would say "darker and more fucked up than YOU!"

Imagine that 2 writes erotic 11/6 fic. What sort of summary might the fic he/she writes have?
Irina writing Jack Bauer/Nikita smut? Waitaminute. THIS DOESN’T WORK.

If 2 walked into the room wearing nothing but a red thong and a feather boa, how would 8 react?
Poor Adama would die on the spot. So would we all. Because, um, IRINA FUCKING DEREVKO.

9 and 1 are having a quickie in a broom closet when 8 walks in on them. Naturally enough, 8 joins in, first paging 3, who's in the middle of fucking 5 into the mattress. 3 abandons 5 on the verge of orgasm, excited by the possibility of illicit broom closet sex, and 5, irate, becomes a highly paid prostitute until the well-meaning and generous 4 attempts to rescue her. But 5 will have none of it, refuses to be redeemed, and opens a high-class brothel in Los Angeles, where 10 is one of his/her regular clients.

Michael and Bree (!!) are having a quickie in a closet when Adama walks in on them (HE's getting all the fun!?). Naturally enough, Adama joins in (come ON. Meep.) first paging Jack Bristow, who’s in the middle of fucking Lilah into the matress (meep). Jack Bristow abandons Lilah on the verge of orgasm (WHO ABANDONS *LILAH* IN THE MIDDLE OF SEX?), excited by the possibility of illicit broom closet sex, and Lilah, irate, becomes a highly paid prostitute until the well-meaning and generous Nina (snerk) attemps to rescue her. But Lilah will have none of it and refuses to be redeemed (that’s Lilah. But she still fucked Nina before leaving) and opens a high-class brothel in LA, where Adam Carter is one of her regulars. I like Madam Lilah.

a) The story you've just written is closest to the canon of which 'verse? b) What would you entitle this story? c) who's most out of character? d) who on your flist would read it? e) who on your flist is probably writing this right now?

a) Hmm. BSG, in all its frakked up OT3 glory. Or possibly LFN with the perpetuous whoring of Michael - in this case, it would all be calculated as to finish with Madam Lilah, who would ten years later be recruited into Section, *g*.

b) I'd call it "Necessary Detour".

c) Bree and Adama.

d) Who would read it? Anyone who's a a sick enough smutpuppy. Which should be a big part of my flist.

e) Sadly, no one, because Madeline/Irina has to be WRITTEN FIRST!

that was fun.

GIP! That was some productive PS time, because Marcia/Flicka? Are having a big fat affair right in front of everyone's faces.

The Fast and The Random.

Sat, 24 Sep 2005 00:30:34 GMT

Quick list, because I'm out in a few minutes..

I've been to bed at 4:30, 3:30, 11:45 (heh, that was my early catching up on sleep night) and 2:30 respectively this past week, and I'm quite tired. However, I'm still going out tonight. *g* I should give myself a cookie for surviving these past few days.
things I want to do: a)Finish multifannish icons. b)Catch up and squeeze you all. c)Continue typing up LFN 305-310 notes.
Marcia/Flicka are LOVE.
!! BSG MIDSEASON FINALE DAY !! Holy Frakking Mother of GOD, am I hyped. The torrent will be all up and shiny when I get home!
Speaking of which, I'll be missing the chatting but I trust you'll all still be there. ;-)
I somehow found time - er, scratch that - found a way to make "productive use of my procrastination" and so advanced my tiny LFN ficlet. I've decided the Maddy/Paul coup is extremely fun to write, especially when you twist it so that Paul is somewhat out of the loop and thus doesn't see the A/M subtext. Don't worry, he's not in it long enough to be woobiefied, *g*. This is seriously the most wonderful world I've immersed myself in since Derevko-verse.

And yes, MORE fannish links. *g*
technosage shares interesting Roslin meta, no spoilers past 209.
List and pics of the Older Women in Aliasverse. Yay! Although, no Barnett or Elena for me. Hate.

Wed, 14 Sep 2005 10:48:51 GMT

It is 6:49 am. I have just finished my History essay, which is due in two hours. WOO.

Since an hour of sleep isn't worth it, I may go watch some BSG. Or more specifically, the Adama/Roslin emerging from behind the curtain bit. *g*

ETA - I'm quite tired. And I look like frakking shit.

Captain Corelli has a mandolin!

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 07:06:36 GMT

Watching Katrina news is still hard - especially when you see footage akin to Third World countries happening in the richest one in the world. Don't get me started about FEMA's ponysitting Brownie, the fact that Dubya has REPEATEDLY slashed the Army Corps of Engineers budget, or the poor response to the hurricane. Of course, after all tragedies it goes like this: Bush panics, hides for a few days and occasionally reads a book backwards, then dispatches Daddy Rove to patch things up. The usual spin technique - find someone to blame to detract from the President's mucking up. This time it's Louisiana itself. "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (chuckle) – this is working very well for them." –Former First Lady Barbara Bush. I won't even dignify that with a comment.
Late here, but sending lots of love and luck to anyone who lived/has relatives in the area!

The second full week of school is almost over. And gah, they were

I've been meaning to ramble about this since it started, but I got depressed the first few days and then was already overwhelmed by work. It's much better now, but...I'm still wondering what the hell I'm doing in this program. I don't want to repeat last session, when I went to bed around 2-3 every night, when everyone had a breakdown a week, when there was just too. much. The IB exams and projects doubling all the school work? When EVERY class is one of those classes that has five or six huge projects per session that stress you out immensily? I was HORRIBLE at organizing my time and dealing with the stress - which is why it mucked up so much.

Let's not forget the 4000 words memoir I was supposed to write during the summer, which led to panic and me ending up with only a five-page outline. That was fortunate, since last week my memoir director subtly led me towards a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIRECTION and so the whole thing is in the garbage, and I'm back to square one. You could say that's pretty frakking shitty.

There's also the fact that our IB (social science international baccalaureate) group didn't develop the tight bond I had expected it to, which was one of my initial reasons for ~~killing myself~~ signing up. I mean, it's cegep (for those who aren't in Quebec and whom I haven't repeatedly hit over the head with "what cegep/program HELP" angst a year and a half ago, cegep = pre-college, 2 years = senior year of high school + first year of university in the US) and you're supposed to be with different people in every class (there's about 2000 kids) but I chose the IB because my brother told me he had had such a great time met his closest friends.
Also because there's no economics/anthropology/sociology/psychology in my IB and it's going to look pretty good afterwards, providing I survive this session.

I made a bunch of good friends, and some very good ones among the History kids (ie. the few who procrastinate and panic like me), but no wonderful and amazing new friends that can cheer you up and make school great, that you can call up to yell MACARONI at two a.m. There's also the fact that most of them still hang with their high school friends at lunch, so if I eat with Gab it's with her group, ditto Val, Sarah, Letizia, Elisabeth...it's fun when we all go out, yes. But I haven't felt like I've passed the "you've found amazing people to keep" threshold, and that makes me sad, since it's happened at every school I was - I've changed (schools and ocasionally continents) four times. Heh. Granted, there's only two years of cegep and I've only finished one, and I really disliked my last year at Stan. So yes, Brebeuf is a big improvement on the previous year, but it seems the novelty wears off so fast. Next year I'm off to McGill (where I'll meet punzie! HOW COOL. Cannot wait!!) and I hope people are right when they say university is the best time of your life.
Tell me why I start *monday morning* with double maths AND double bio when I'm in the social sciences option HISTORY IB. Our math teacher encouraged us by saying "use every free hour creatively, because this session is going to be intense - students usually end up on their knees". Thanks, really. I'm going to miss my weekends. Especially since I have TEN BOOKS to study in THREE MONTHS:

French:

- La mort en été, Yukio Mishima
- Aurélie, ma soeur, Marie Laberge
- Poussière sur la ville, André Langevin
- Ces enfants de ma vie, Gabrielle Roy.

I haven't read much Quebec Lit, so this should be...interesting. Laberge's book seems good, Langevin's is written in pure québecois slang which turns me off some. However, there's a central character named "Madeleine". Which will help. A lot. *g*

Philosophy:

Notions fondamentales de morale, Spaemann. We'll see about that...

English:

- Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Louis de Bernières.
- All My Sons & A View From the Bridge, Arthur Miller. (Woo!)
- Media Unlimited, Todd Gitlin. Some bloke going on about how the culture make us STOOPID and tv is only equal to "fast" reality shows. "Cable shows are devoid of thought and right away reach for instant gratification". Um. I'd like to point him towards Carnivale. That show? Is the *opposite* of instant gratification on cable. I've only flipped through the book and I've already gotten irritated.
- Will be adding Nervous Conditions to the list. And some collection of articles that hasn't arrived yet. Groan.

As for my memoir, I have to re-read HDM, particularly The Amber Spyglass. But I love it beyond reason, so it won't be too bad if we ignore the no-time factor.

September, October, November. Not to mention all the History research. Excuse me while I go die.

Positive points - we got to scare the first year IBs by telling them simply that THEY ARE GOING TO DIE. I loved that. *evol* And secondly, teachers keep reminding us that if we finish this ù*ù$^*ù*@!! program, college will be a breeze. Woo!

Two weekends ago, Lam (such a shame she doesn't go to Brebeuf!) her friend Maia and I got into The Time after around an hour and a half wait. It was SO worth it, though. Anyways - a Swedish student offers me a drink. And since I like inventing random BS at these things, it went like this... "What's your name?" "Madeline." GOD, I am such a dork.
Actually, I very much regret I didn't try "Jane. Jane Smith." because that would've been *beyond* hilarious. Next time!!

Home part II aired almost two weeks ago, and I've squee-ed about everywhere, but there were points I wanted to ramble about before 208.

Okay, so apparently the fandom has adopted Kara/Lee/Adama/Roslin as THE FAMILY. I'm probably in the minority, but that? Definitely a frakked up "family" with a bunch of romantic entanglements. I see Kara/Lee/Adama FamilyOMG, yes. Very much so. I enjoy it, but I'm not interested persay in that particular dynamic - which is strange since I'm such a SpyFam afficionado.
What doesn't click with me is casting Roslin as "the mom" - Roslin? She's not the mother, and definitely not Kara's. She's the outsider of the K/L/A family, the one that swooped into their lives and rapidly became very important to both Adama men and later to Kara (albeit to a lesser degree, even post Home I). Laura may be Lee's possible "mommy-girlfriend", and Kara Lee's "sister-girlfriend" but I see nothing motherly between Kara and Laura - not that I WANT to, since I ship them. Heh. Although L/L shippers recognize and seek the mother-girlfriend aspect.

jennyo expresses this much more eloquently here, and although I don't agree with everything there are many, many good points. All in all, IMO? Roslin = not mom. Everyone is her bitch, but not mom. I don't have a problem with Adama = dad, though. Father of the fleet, of everyone on the battlestar, I guess. And of K/L.

The same thing goes on in LFN verse - Madeline was originally supposed to be more of a mother figure in S1, but I never picked up on that. Of course, later on, the "rents" occasionally try to kill the "kids". *snerk* Madeline becomes more of a referee, Section's own quasi-deus-ex-machina. There's definitely a general chemistry between Ops-Maddy-Michael-Nikita-Birkoff and possibly Walter, but...every dynamic is so different at the *base*, that it CAN'T be family. I'm having trouble expressing myself at 2.25 am. Snerk. There's also the fact that we're only privy to two field ops' lives and interactions with O/Ma - Michael & Nikita - why would they be any more connected to the older power couple than any other operative? Yes, Michael and his level 5 status, but I don't think it created any emotional attachement. So yes. Madeline and Roslin are not yo mamas. ;-)

And Ron Moore is the one that apparently gave older (evol?) woman politician/hot young guy on DS9, incestuous Justin/Iris on Carnivale S1 and Ben/Ruthie before Knauf came in to write out all the morally ambiguous relationships. David Eick is one of the men behind Xena/Gabrielle.

Roslin/Adama - What is there to say except CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON?

*g*

Adama's comment about "body bags" was interesting - it seems he's the one who's most invested in the relationship (you know there is one, Chris wrote tent frakking that HAPPENED, because their knees were touching and that said it all *cough*) as opposed to Roslin who is still stuck in Save The World At Any Cost (even blasting Adama again) Frak Later mode. "I forgive you, Laura" / "I didn't ask for your forgiveness, Bill" was utterly awesome. He was the one to submit.

I'm surprised there wasn't more of a conflict or agression between them. I know the KLG arcs are wrapped up, so I won't dwell on Adama's possible still-bottled up anger.

Oh. Adama reading the scrolls of Pythia...he probably knows by now of the "dying" leader status. IF WE WERE ROBBED of the Roslin/Adama "you have cancer - you're dying - and you never told me?" I'll have to choke a bitch.

I've missed their interaction. But I'm in the mood for intense angst and another fight. *g* Not as bad as the Worst. Fight. Ever, but...I want angst and more of the Adama nut cracking. Or TMUTMD-type confrontations, which were just so much fun.

Admitedly, I didn't see the Roslin/Starbuck until KLG and then Home I. Sure, they hug pretty in Hand of God, but there was nothing *to* their dynamic, unlike the Roslin/Adama confrontational sparks or the Roslin/Lee connection. Their scene in KLG I is probably in my top 3 of all BSG moments and from that point on? They are SO intriguing - I guess it's the fact that Roslin is no longer the weak one, and the slight Prophet/Disciple layer is fun. Home I - Starbuck bringing the Arrow to Laura - UST like woah. I guess that's what sold me, since I was sort of blinded by it for the rest of the ep. Kara/Lee and a ball what?! So naturally I went to re-read a bunch of Kara/Laura recs, and would love to find one that deals with the religious aspect.

Oh, the mytharc. I did have issues with Home II, namely the official break from real scifi. The dreams, the visions - it was the chamalla. We had an excuse - and TPTB did a frakking amazing job fuelling the ambiguity regarding the reality of the prophecy. Now, being a Roslin fangirl I didn't want to see her arrive at a random tomb with everyone - and Adama - in tow just to have nothing happen and consequently letting her fall on her face. I didn't want to see it this literal either, because that makes BSG branch off a bit. However, since they can't find earth soon (because, er, we don't want BSG to end nor Roslin to die) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for the tomb/constellation map to be a cylon trap. Sharon did say "we know your religion better than you"

And then there's Baltar who regressed since Resistance (boo!), SIXBUCK (frakking AMAZING) and..too tired. 3.02 am, have to wake up at 7.30.

But yes. Home II - Eeeee! Canon! Tent! Knees! TENT! Ok, I want another fight. *g*

I utterly adore and worship meredith44 for my Madeline/Nikita pilot-hair-stroking icon. Because Zero Point HAPPENED, I tell you!

WHO GETS EVEN BIGGER AND MORE LEGAL THAN OLINDA TODAY?

rezie does!

Happy 18th, oh hilarious siis of mine. I love you.

ps - You can VOTE! Woo! You can now help save the rest of the world in 08!
pps - You can now legally drink in Montreal. Cough.

...have just rewatched BSG 2.04 - Resistance

Thu, 11 Aug 2005 05:54:34 GMT

Holy Frakking Mother Of God.

BSG 204 - Resistance.

- Tigh. Stop ragging on the Chief. I'm cutting you some slack because you are Oh-So-Gay for Adama and that's what's destabilizing you, but my patience is limited. Especially with you falling into Ellen's traps all the time.

- "Roslin came up with the execution method". Snort.

- FRAK.

- Ah, the Symbolic Drop of Blood. Tigh throws his booze..ack! We need Adama NOW.

- G!Boomer seems to "be" Sharon again. It's as if she knows she's a cylon, but yet she IS the "human Sharon" at the same time. Very different from Six, and not the same either as Cap!Boomer, who seemed to identify more to her "rebel cylon" self.

- speaking of Boomers, when will we see Cap!Boomer? (Who is technically not Cap!B anymore, BUT...)

- CAPRICA!!

- Resistance movement! In an almost post-apocalyptic setting! This is half as cool as Dark Angel.

- FRAK. FRAAAAAAAAAAAK. Not credits!! No!

- Six: (regarding the word TOASTER) That word is racist. I don't like it. AHAHAHAHA. Hey. I'm not insulted to have been a (drunken) Toaster for years. *g*

- "Help the Chief, help yourself, Doctor".

- Heh. All of this because Baltar wanted to be ambiguous and lied about Boomer's cylon test.

- Six trying to con Baltar into taking revenge for being treated so poorly (by Tigh). Anyone notice how much less she is appearing now that Baltar is taking more and more control of his own actions? Is his already strong attachement to their humantoaster baby *replacing* her role in guiding him?

- Dee: He's [Tigh] hitting the bottle. OOH CONSPIRACY.

- ELLEN MACBETH SHUT UP. Bill would never do that. But nice spin.

- Frak.

- Caprica!!

- Okaaaay, that's a lot of gunfire. I get it.

- "Give me a ball, little girl. I'll shove it up your ass."

"Please. Try".

HAHA.

- "You know you guys suck, right?" LOVE KARA.

- ROSLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smile! Licorice! Venner the Roslin!Woobie!

- TIGH. Stop it! [can't read her own writing]

- Holy Frakkola. KILLING OF CIVILIANS FRAK.

- Hah. Love Doc Snark.

- Lee/Laura ESCAPE! HOW FREAKING COOL! Plan! Need to rally support! Want brigfic. Billy's ignored. Aw, woobie.

- [I think I wrote "I love you Saul". Whuh?] Shut up, Ellen.

- Baltar/Tyrol/G!Boomer. Baltar asks for some privacy to do the cylon test on Tyrol, except DRUGS HIM AND HE'S DYING THEN TRIES TO EXTRACT INFO FROM BOOMER OMG. LIKE JACK BRISTOW. "Do you love him?" "DO YOU LOVE HIM, SHARON?" HOLY FRAK. INTENSE. ù*mf*ù*d@@!!!!!

- 8 models! SHARON KNOWS!!! She knows! Dude! Very interesting.

- Woah, that was incredibly fantastical and FRAKKING INTENSE. I'm loving Baltar's turn - this is info he needed for himself for once, and not for Six. Nor to save his ass in the short term. No Six around. Hum.

- But, er...won't the Chief remember what happened? That's putting yourself in a shitty situation, Gaius.

- ROSLIN!!!!!!! Asking an "illegal and dangerous" favor to Cottle - "you're a lousy salesman". *loves*

- Tigh & Dee! Special request! He signs! OMG. Nice save, Dee.

- GAETA. CYLON.

- Lee/Adama: Oh, gorgeous scene! It's not personal..it sort of is, since you're breaking your dad's girlfriend out of jail because you LOVE her.

- ADAMA! MOVED!!

- Go Cally! [don't remember what this was, though]

- Conspiracy! Code talk! Frakking. awesome.

- Laura'sWoobie!Venner agrees to be slugged to help his (and my!) beloved PrezProphet.

- FAKE KIDNAPPING! Well. Doesn't look like it anymore, but..Wooo.

- meep

- ROSLIN!!! Roslin convinces the guard she's doing what she has to for the colonies. Then SHE PUSHES THE GUN AWAY. Just..like that. That was QUITE HOT. OMG. I just died a little.

- And you can see how she's getting more and more ruthless - I'd like her to feel unsure, though. Not of her role in the prophecy (I'd like that, but that's not where we're headed canonwise) but of her ability to lead them all to 'salvation'.

- "Captain Apollo!" *jumps into his arms* (blink)

- Billy! BILLY! Aw - you could see his reticence to the prophet biz but I didn't think he'd leave her yet. I overestimated the strength of his bond to Roslin, which is a bit sad...because it's definitely NOT for the reason he gave. Billy, you're afraid if she leaves that there'll be a *mutiny*? TIGH IS ALREADY KILLING CIVILIANS. He-eh. And Dee.

- Ah Laura, that was cold.

- THEY'RE OFF!!

- [can't read writing. Something Tigh] frakked over.

- FRAK.

- ...

- Hold your fire. Thank you, Tigh. The Old Man would've never forgiven you. (Actually maybe, since he forgave Kara completely when she came back from her crash. Heh.)

- Gaeta covered up for Dee!! Raises interesting questions if he IS indeed a Toaster (Scattered, dude) - he helps Roslin out in this (subtle) way. Hum.

- ZAREK!! Heh. Was spoiled, and I'm surprised Roslin didn't ask Lee what the "plan she wouldn't like" WAS. Anyhow, this temp alliance with the ennemy is FRAKKING FANTASTIC.

- Starbuck, pyramid game etc. Hum. Caprica was the weakest arc of this episode (Lee/Laura escape!! Baltar's WWJBD (What Would Jack Bristow Do) situation!! Chief & G!Boomer!) surprisingly. Err. *shrugs at the Anders UST*

- Ellen. Lay off the MacBeth. You may be an EVOL BITCH, but you're not one in the good way. Sherry Palmer out-LadyMacs you anytime and manages to be my favorite. *g*

- ADAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Fweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

- Oh, Ellen is PWNED. Lovely.

- Woah, it is so good to hear the Old Man's voice. I missed him. Much more than I thought.

- Ooh, the public's [well. Galactica public] reaction to g!Boomer. Very cool. CALLY SHOT BOOMER OMG. WTF. FRAK.

- ....

- Meep! I love you, Chief. He doesn't answer. INTENSE.

- frakking A.

- FRAK.

- *dies*

- Let me process this AMAZING EP. LOVED the escape, LOVED Baltar's taking control, LOVED Boomer & Tyrol (first time!), LOVED EVERYTHING AND ADAMA IS AWAKE. Definitely the best of the season, with Valley of Darkness tagging along after.

later:

- Baltar's evolution is IMO, going to be one of the most fascinating arcs this season. I wonder if Six wouldn't give him the information - so he got it somewhere else. We're seeing less and less of Six, as well..she's losing her grip on him. The child however, is the new toaster controlling Baltar.

- Like voleuse proposed, Kara having an affair with the "Give me a ball, little girl/I'll shove it up your ass" girl instead of Anders (meh) would be FRAKKING HOT. Femmeslash, please. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want it now. Damnit.

- I *loved* Laura/Lee in this ep. Noo, I didn't go read a ton of brigfic and escape fic and Jenny O's L/L post-resistance smut. Er, yeah. They definitely came out as the power couple - and their dynamic is so complex I can't help but love it. He broke her out of jail, respects and admires her, yet disapproves of the prophecy bit (we're bound to see that come up, soon). I love him better when I pretend he's infatuated with Roslin. ;-) She is the only one to treat him as an adult.

I had a rush of L/L love after the ep, but then today I read Chris' latest installment of God's Gift and it was ALL Adama/Roslin, again. *g*

Leaving for the country tomorrow, until Sunday. rezie, Maya is possibly going to bring The Office DVDs!! And why do I always miss you?!

the one who came back with all the cuts

Mon, 08 Aug 2005 06:09:19 GMT

I don't have much to say about that, except that we were lucky to have arrived after Dennis and have had Emily & Franklin veer to the west. It was much better to come during the summer than at christmas because we had sun EVERY day. 40°C, but sunny. Woot!
Unlike last xmas where we got one little day of sun.

The road trip was fun. I love road trips. I slept and read fic and listened to music while half crushed by luggage.

When we arrived in Fort Lauderdale, the pattern for the next 10 days was wake up - beach - eat - sleep. It went a LOT faster than I thought, for a vacation alone with the 'rents.

Apparently Gab had emailed me to say SHE COULD COME AND WOULD FLY OVER TO STAY FOR A WEEK. Except I didn't check my emails and so missed that opportunity. Argh!! ARGH.

My dad sequestered himself and read thirteen books on the balcony. Hee. I am not kidding.

HOUSTONS. That food. So good. We only went there once this time, but sadly they don't have apple cobblers in winter. NO. That was seriously a BIG deciding factor in my coming or not.

The Nanny reruns! NILES! NIIIIILES! Fran/Max! Sylvia! THE JEWISH! Niles! WHY DO I LOVE IT SO MUCH?

Woah, the places are extremely strict in the US. Which is not a bad thing, I guess, but...my mom and I walk into a Tavern to listen to someone playing guitar, and the woman immediately comes up to us saying "SHOW IDENTIFICATION, PLEASE! YOU CANNOT BE IN THE VICINITY OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT WITHOUT BEING 21. IT'S THE LAW, I'M SORRY." jesus. I usually use my cousin Amanda's ID but it says 19 anyway. Heh.

My mom and I were Hotel Crashers Extraordinaire - we went through the Delano hotel in Miami (Holy Frakking Mother Of God. What a gorgeous place!) used the beds by the pool (BEDS. on the beach. I could live there) asked for towels and such. ROTFLOL. For the towels,
the guy asked in which room we were, to which my mom answered #121. Bwah. Also used the pool of the nice white hotel down our beach.

Apparently you can't buy alcohol on Sunday mornings over there because of mass. That was really surprising. Anyhow we needed to buy a bottle of wine for a dinner the same night and my mom was HILARIOUS:

"What do you mean, I can't buy alcohol on Sunday morning?! I can! I'M JEWISH!!"

HAHAHAHA.

She really wasn't joking.

Which is what made it really funny.

*g*

So, yes. Vacation with your rents isn't THAT bad, providing you have massive fannish entertainment like I did - LFN S3 (it was OH SO HARD not to watch more than two eps a day. *wibble*), HBP, The Nanny reruns and of course BSG season two. BSG! Live! Woo!

Also had the Madeline/Adrian fic to continue, which I did. I love them so much. Just. dude. I didn't finish it though, which pisses me off a little because I was supposed to *really* start my memoir when we got back.

And that's about it. Ooh, we stopped in the Hamptons (!) on the way back, to Lana's house...last time we saw it, because of her divorce and thus the selling of the house. We went "shopping" there too, but you can't call it shopping when everything is so disgustingly expensive.

Ah, HBP. When reading I could just SEE the fandom kerfluffles it must be causing right about then.

- I really liked the first. The second more. And PoA a hell of a lot more. Then came GoF which I ADORED and loved the most - it's the volume that divides the series and starts to blur the line between children/adult fiction. When reading OotP I was sure it would follow the same pattern (the hearing, the OotP, Occlumency, the snake, the DA, the door vision) until the VERY VERY anticlimatic pseudo-climax. There was a great buildup but I felt seriously let down and extremely pissed off. Brain room? Brain room? *That's* a prophecy? Sirius just walks in, FALLS IN A HOLE and dies? No. That definitely was nothing compared to Voldy's rising in GoF. Couldn't feel more cheated by that ending than I was. Now that I've stopped ranting about OotP, yes, it didn't follow the pattern and neither did HBP.

- However, I did enjoy HBP. It didn't suck me in, yet didn't anger me. But it was nowhere near PoA or GoF or even the first three quarters of OotP. Have to say I found myself bored around the middle because I couldn't even answer the "what *is* going on?" question.

What I liked:

I enjoyed the first two & last few chapters the best even if the Dumbledore grief seemed kind of muted in relation to how important a person he was. Or maybe it's because that death was not "equal to his character". However after I got online and read some theories (ie. dumbledoreisnotdead.com and the Snape was asked to kill him one) I liked it more.
Loved the Harry/Draco/Myrtle Sectumsempra scene in the bathroom
Dumbledore drinking that whatever it was, and the "I'm with you, Harry" line.
The fight in Hogwarts, Snape's fleeing. Narcissa and Bellatrix.
And most of all the Tom Riddle flashbacks. He tortures! He's smart! He collects trophies! Trophies!! This is the only book that made me see Voldemort in a more complex light. He wasn't very imposing before. He may actually have become my favorite character. *snerk* Not that I want to read fic, heh. But it was very interesting to read about his childhood and the Gaunt heritage.

What I didn't like, plotwise:
The fact that during a HUGE portion of the book there was only:

a)wondering what Malfoy was up to. I REALLY don't find him an intriguing character so I didn't care for this.
c)wondering about the Half-Blood Prince.
c)learning about Riddle's past.

Nothing was happening, really. That bored me. Getting the memory out of Slughorn sped things up, but it took awhile.
Duplicating CoS elements:
a)a full of himself new professor.
b)attacks on kids by whom we don't know.
c)someone's "magic" notebook/diary.

This sort of joins the first point, because it wasn't very exciting.
Not showing Snape teaching DADA:
He wanted the job for YEARS, why not do anything with that?!

What I didn't like, character and ship-wise
A large part of the book felt like fanfic. They weren't kidding when the jacket said the "home front" took center stage in this sixth installment. Plot delegated to the background, and all the rest brought out in front. It was cute, but I didn't particularly want to read about Ron and Lav-Lav. Oy.
I'm not a Harry shipper. I can tell you from an objective point of view and without interpreting canon in a shippy way that I had NO idea whatsoever if it would turn out Harry/Hermione or Ron/Hermione. However this may be because I never paid it that much attention. Perhaps there were clues I missed. The Kickerness doesn't bother me, it was cute - even if I *had* to choose I'd lean towards Harry/Hermione because I can't see how R/H would go on after banter/lust. (Or Harry/Luna. I kind of like them the best. Snerk.) The only couple I feel slightly shippy about is Remus/Sirius.
What DID bother me was how Ginny/Harry was set up. What was that?! Completely out of nowhere. Harry/Cho had much more buildup than *this*. It really wasn't credible.
Which leads me to MarySue!Ginny of HBP. I have a big problem with this. Again, there are probably (subtle) hints in the previous books, but this was way WAY too much of a shock. Femme fatale? Check. Great at quidditch now? Check. Snarky? Check. Strong and understanding right away of Harry's decision while Ron/Hermione do not? Check. The abrupt arrival of SuperGinny is what didn't sit well with me. I'd have no problem with H/G if there were a better lead up.
Ron and Hermione seemed to do nothing in this book. All I remember of Hermione is her bitching about the HBP and moping about Ron.

Hum. That's it. I don't know whether I liked HBP or OotP better even if the former ended is a much more satisfying way than the latter.

*squeezes GoF*

Definitely something up with Snape & Dumbledore. I have no specs, so just going along with the "severus..please [kill me!]" theory.

I have to say the number of evangelical radio stations over there disturbed me a bit. Wo-ah. And right-wing fundies. I don't know why my dad wanted to grate our nerves so much, but we listened to a pseudo-Ann Coulter talk show for awhile. Said fundie was referring to Hillary as "the definition of evil" (literally. Heh.) and a promoter of the lesbian agenda. Then he and co-host started speculating whether or not she was a 'practicing lesbian'. WTF. For two minutes they were going back and forth on tabloid spec. Then proceeded to demonize her. I'm not going to say she didn't do her share of realpolitik, not to mention the health care fiasco, but...talk about THAT instead! I guess rationality is not an option. Gah.

Watched a lot of C-SPAN when over there. It was especially interesting (heh) to see the Rove question come up - please. I don't think it can get any more hypocritical than this. Bush says OH NOES SOMEONE LEAKED THE NAME AND I SHALL KICK WHOEVER OUT!1 yet when Rove's skeleton pops up it OF COURSE doesn't apply anymore. For once the liberals spinned right and (tried) to use this to their advantage - or the advantage of denying clearance to someone who shouldn't have it in the first place. Don't get me started on the "he [Rove] didn't use Plame's explicit identity" line. Wilson finds no weapons OH NOES, and look! His wife is exposed! What a coincidence! Sadly no one will stop basking in their own hypocrisy. You can bet your ass if this was a dem government Rove would be out there and pratically lynched.

Your dad fired Rove for doing the SAME ILLEGAL SHIT, so why don't you stay true to your word, Dubya? Heh. Word?

Oh, there was a LaRouche stand in East/South hampton (which is a very very rich area and (heh) very Republican) and we watched them for a bit while waiting for Lana & Jess to come out of Saks. The woman tried to spin me into thinking the LaRouchites are "purely old school Democrats", heh. Sadly for her I DO know about his quasi-fascist view on "good" and "bad" Jews (Kissinger, and the Rothchilds are apparently TEH EVOL) and other bullcrap like his extremist past and his sudden jump to hide behind the other side. So no recruitment there - however, they had a funny poster of Bush saying he wasn't a Republican but an Idiot. Not very tactful, but how true!

Anyhow this woman came by and said "That's not nice! What has Bush done that is so wrong?" I couldn't resist, so I jumped in and gave her a million reasons. War based on fabricated lies while the country next door HAS the precious WMDs, healthcare (!), the huge-ass deficit (the worst! Ever! Fact) that no one seems to realise exists, "special" tax cuts, social security problems, placing someone at the UN that is ANTI-UN (why not just erradicate the rest of the world and live alone?) and how very fucked up the whole world is getting to be. Not that it's really Dubya who has done all this, since he's just a mindless puppet who repeats Rove's dumb-on-purpose speeches.

In any case, it was just HILARIOUS to see all these people come up and either snub them, scowl, or say "oh, grow up" or "I can't do this. Get them away". One snobby old woman with a big yellow hat even said "Oh, please. If you HAVE to do this, go to Manhattan at least". *falls down* It was worth it just to see them all ticked off by the "intrusion". Not that they were all pro-Bush, because a lot came up to look at the stand. Too bad it's LaRouche of all movements doing this. Heh.

And don't get me started on the sophistic arguments (philosophy class: arguments built on emotion that often veer from the subject and try to convince by moral judgement instead of actual REASON. Fake reasoning that seems logical. From the dictionary: n : a deliberately invalid argument displaying ingenuity in reasoning in the hope of deceiving someone) that are CONSTANTLY being re-used like:
if you're anti-war you're anti-American (sophism #6, intention trial. Pretending to know what the other is thinking and making a gross assumption out of it. Here you have the logical proof that it's not a correct argument. *g*) haha.
We were attacked, so we went to war. (I'm not even going to answer this one because it insults my intelligence and the one of the person who said it.)

I could go on. Heh. Ooh, philo. class is useful. Never would've guessed. ;-)

BSG 201 – Scattered

- Exactly where we left off. Adama shot, g!boomer being dragged away not realising what she did, everyone screaming. OMG INTENSE.

- Adama & Tigh! 20 years earlier! HAHA, EJO’s wig.

- ADAMA. Do not die! Don’t stay like this long!

- G!Boomer seems to slip in and out of “cylon conciousness” every 2 seconds

- Jumping without Kobol people!

- LEE!!! And he’s wound up tight. Oh, the angst.

- ROSLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!

- Roslin’s reaction! How bad is your father? Is Doc Cottle with him? OH THE LOVE. OH THE A/R LOVE. CANON, baybee.

- *dances*

- THE FLEET IS GONE. WTF. THE FLEET DIDN’T JUMP WITH THEM.

- Rah, commercials. This is too intense for commercials.

- Back!

- Six!!!!! Gaius!! Baby! She’ll be real soon??

- It’s a dream! Or not. Heh.

- Cally!!

- Shut up Ellen. SHUT UP. She’s pushing for power now? Not that that’s surprising, but… Ellen. Shut up.

- So say we all!

- ROSLIN!!!!!! Billy!!!

- Leeeee!! “I did it for nothing, turns out.” Aw.

- Where’s Kara already?! Helo? Cap!Boomer? WHERE’S KARA?!

- CAPRICA!!

- KARA!! Listen to Sharon the Cylon! Bwah.

- Cap!Boomer! Helo! Heh. Now *he’s* had a change of heart.

- Holy frakking hell.

- CAP!BOOMER ESCAPED! With Kara’s raider!

- bitch took my ride! was fantastical. I love Starbuck. Moreso when she’s on Caprica, actually.

- Adama & Tigh. Except he can’t handle the pressure.

- Speaking of pressure, that medic has to go in herself. That’s too easy to perv. So I won’t.

- G!Boomer! “how’s the commander?” Heh. Heh.

- Poor Tigh. Poor Boomer.

- Where’s Six?

- Kobol. Well, frak.

- DON’T go for the dead, Tyrol! Agh, chief.

- WHO THE FRAK IS SHOOTING? Er. Cylons. *facepalm*

- Commercials.

- Ok, you can’t watch BSG with commercials. The one big plus of only being able to download the eps.

- Gaeta. Cylon. I bet.

- Who’s the new guy in CIC?

- GAETA. CYLON. SUCH A FRAKKING CYLON. *Computer* program? Right. Toaster.

- “thank you, MADAM . PRESIDENT .”. My Lee love has grown exponentially.

- Firewall? TOAST.(er). DEAD. GAETA. CYLON. WE ALL KNOW IT.

- And cylon (can’t read my writing). *snerk*

- Commercials AGAIN. It’s been six minutes!! Come ON.

- “you’re watching Battlestar Galactica”..with the A/R clip! GLEE.

- Hah. Love Lee shutting them up.

- FRAK. ADAMA.

- Cylon virus. GAETA. CYLON. CYLON. TOASTER. CYLON. Ok.

- ROSLIN!! Oh, lovely scene. Loved her looking unsure while praying with the guard.

- Agh, don’t show the gore! Cutting! Meep.

- SECOND firewall breached! Fraaaaaaaak.

- GOT THE FLEET! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!

- Whew.

- That was quite intense.

- “Tell Cottle to get his (snarky) ass here, ASAP!”

- Can you hear me, Bill? (flashback) cleans himself up!

- Where’s Kara?! Where’s Roslin?! Where’s Roslin/Kara?! *g*

- Seems we got an overdose of Tigh and Kobol. I wish they expanded a bit more on the other arcs/characters.

- CYLONS.

- CYLONS ON BOARD WTF.

- Ok, I was spoiled for that. But. still.

- to be continued.

- You’ve got to be kidding.

- Cylons on galactica! Next week looks FRAKKING FANTASTIC. (underlined a few times, lmeo). Meanwhile, I barely remember what happened in this episode. Tigh, more Tigh, jumping without the fleet, Chief & company, virus-firewall-breach-jump-OMG, overwhelming anvil dropping that Gaeta is a big fat Baltar-loving Toaster (hey, isn’t his link to Baltar more proof of his toasterness? Well. Not really, since Gaeta/Baltar is probably all fanon. Hah. I can’t say toaster in any fandom without jumping back to Jack/Irina. This definitely was no 33, and MORE ROSLIN please. The Caprica arc is going to be fun as well.

BSG 2.02 – Valley of Darkness

- Ooh, beginning credits changed. Or maybe these have always been the American ones.

- Billy! Dee! Awkward! I love how loyal they are to their respective sides. However I do love Billy a little more because he’s loyal
to Roslin. *snerk*.

- ADAMA!! Please wake up soon. Really.

- LIGHTS OFF. FRAK.

- Copies of the virus. *copies* of the virus. Gaeta. CYLON.

- I adore the isolated pissed-off-and-tightly-wound Lee we’re going to get this season. Here’s to hoping it lasts.

- Holy. FUCK. Freddy the Cylon. The claws. Seriously. Nightmare on galactica Street, much?

- That was quite intense.

- Maybe this is because I’ve never actually seen BSG on tv and my episodes are the British ones, but the flash montage of parts of
the upcoming ep after the credits disappeared.

- The A/R commercial clipping! Woo!

- NO. LEE. FRAK.

- whew.

- Toaster shopping. Heh.

- GAETA YOU FRAKKING CYLON. It just won’t stop.

- LAURA FREAKING ROSLIN!!!!!!!!!! “open THE DOOR”. I won’t “stay and die here like a rat” – or something like it.
AWESOME. I love her.

- whew.

- Oh, Laura/Lee. “Good luck Captain”. It’s there. Very there. L/L is definitely my backup ship.

- CAPRICA!!!

- Kara!! Helo!

- “Your girlfriend is from a lovely family”. SNERK.

- Wonderful, wonderful scene. Wow.

- I hate that new cross-eyed officer in CIC. He always looks lost and out of place.

- Commercials.

- Hey, prez Palmer’s Allstate ad!

- Adama men scifi clipping!

- Ah. Not Kobol.

- Adama! Vision! With the baby!

- “it’s a child, obviously”. HAHAHA.

- Oh no. Kill the baby?! I wonder what (and if something) is really happening.

- SIX!!!

- ”Why would anyone want to kill a baby?!” Er, your toaster girlfriend? Killed a baby? In the mini? Neck snapping?

- Lee. Galactica. This is too intense for me.

- That guy. In the room. Cylon. Paranoid.

- Caprica. So pretty.

- Kara! Paints! Her place! Cd player! Sad song!

- This is such a lovely scene. The music. The MUSIC! The sitting on the Arrow detail. Kara and Helo moving like they really DID get
hurt.

- That was just brilliant.

- ROSLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Ah, pretty gruesome.

- Dee. NO. NO. whew.

- Roslin. Rocks. All.

- She really does.

- GAETA. CYLON. What if he changed what the memo said? And why didn’t he give it to *Tigh*? Not that he has a great amount of time
to reflect on the matter, but…cylon. Heh.

- Not Kobol.

- Aw, that was a great Cally & Tyrol scene. I’ve never liked these too as much as now. Especially the Chief.

- LEE.

- ROSLIN.

- The fight! Nfd000**))ç$*ù$!! That was so intense I might’ve died. The second Billy was out there in the open? Gah.

- My President’s not shot. Got scared there.

- “The Gods must be watching over you”. Lots of speccing to be done there.

- Music. Perfect. PERFECT. Caprica.

- Laura and Lee over the dying Adama. Laura taking one last look at him before going back to her cell. Oh, it’s a good day for
Adama/Roslin. I love them. A lot. Canon, I tell you.

- Did I mention how much I loved her not putting up a fight – on the contrary – she asked to go back to her cell.

- Lovely scene with Tigh and Lee. My dad had to ruin it by yelling “TRAITOR! He’s the traitor! Who’s the traitor? STOP HIM.” Like he
used to do whenever he saw Sloane or Jack. Agh.

- That? Was INDEFINITELY better than Scattered. It was SO GOOD. MUSIC. EVERYTHING. SO GOOD. All the Caprica scenes were top notch, not to mention the cylons boarding the Galatica, the mass panic and all the Roslin and Lee. It felt more balanced than the premiere.

- Oh, that was excellent!! Must be up there with 33, the KLGs and Flesh & Bone.

BSG 2.03 – Fragged.

- Long Kobol opening scene. Meep, a raider!

- There’s music in the house and I can’t really hear.

- Why would the cylons want to blow up Kobol? Something prophecy-related?

- But that’s not what they want to do. Hah.

- Cottle!! How I missed his holy snarky smoky highness.

- Billy/Tigh! Hah!

- Tigh can’t cope with the pressure. This feels like Scattered over again. I wonder who wrote it.

- LEE.

- Quorum of Twelve!!

- ROSLIN!! Oh, Billy. Chamallah withdrawal? Agh, this is hard to watch.

- Lovely Baltar/Six scene. Accepting the role of fatherhood. Heh. I’ve sort of missed them, especially S1 Six with her jealousy and
psychotic cylon angst.

- This new version seems less focused and more impatient. New!Six will take some getting used to.

- Commercials.

- Adama men clipping!

- Do your job or go back to the brig! - Tigh. Heh.

- ACCESS TO THE PRESIDENT IN JAIL! QUORUM!

- Ellen. Ellen’s going to see Roslin in *this* state. MEEP.

- Holy fuck. That was so hard to watch.

- *wibble*

- WHERE’S CAPRICA, DAMNIT.

- I just joined to pay for dental school - Cally.

- Ah. Not Kobol.

- Dude. CAPRICA. WHERE IS IT. WHERE IS KARA?

- Roslin!! Meep. I really don’t like this.

- ELLEN. SHUT UP. SHUT THE FRAK UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP. *thwaps*

- Lee jumps to Kobol!!

- “One of you will turn against the others” / I’m God’s instrument – to which Six replies that (He) has turned his back on
Kobol and man. She really has changed. It seems Baltar’s importance has drastically diminished.

- Argh. Commercials. AGAIN. Not one Caprica scene and excessive Kobol which I could do without.

- CHAMALLAH EXTRACT!!

- I love that guard.

- LEE!!

- Argh, LT. Your plan will not frakking work. SHUT UP. LT.

- HOLY FUCK.

- Frak.

- Oh good, LT’s dead. Thank you, Baltar. Who turned? I need to rewatch this.

- Great. Cylons! *Now* they’re having a seriously lousy day. *snerk*

- SIX!! Awesome, awesome.

- MEEP.

- Yay, Tyrol!!

- RESCUE!!

- GALATICA. YES. I hope she took the chamallah.

- ….

- AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME. I AM FULL OF ROSLIN LOVE.

- And I am now fully converted to Prophet!Roslin.

- Although there is a lot to be speculated about that and the ambiguity of whether or not it will turn out to be completely false or
not. The majority of the Quorum seemed pretty religious – I wonder if Roslin knew this and is playing the dying leader card excessively to
her advantage rather than truly and completely believing her role in (and the existence/realisation of) the prophecy. I hope it’s the
former, although canonwise it seems like we’re headed towards the latter.

- Oh, I’m glad the Kobol arc is done. Perhaps that explains the abundance of it in this ep. My Tyrol love has soared, but he’s still not a favourite.

- And I’m definitely intrigued by the upcoming Baltar turn. I would like to see *him* realise how important he is to the cylons and using it to his advantage rather than being a blind pawn like he has been since the last eps of S1.

- TIGH DECLARES MARTIAL LAW. QUORUM DISSOLVED. Powerful. Noticed that he used “*my* ship” this time instead of Adama/Bill’s ship. Drinking again.

- This hour really redeemed itself in the last twenty minutes. Wonderful moments, even with the complete lack of Caprica/Lee scenes. Also glad the Kobol arc is done. Well, arc. 3 episodes, anyway.

Whew. Done typing them up.
Is Roslin playing or really believing? Both? I hope it's both, but canonwise it seems like she now truly believes her role. After KLG, even atheists had to wonder after finding Kobol. She wouldn’t have risked the separation from Adama if she wasn’t sure. But she still approaches her newfound faith very rationally (see the deleted “fact” Laura/Lee scene from KLG) which IMO, is what makes me not aggravated by the prophet business and still madly fangirl my prez. So Laura’s ambiguity is clearer, but what about the show’s? Is this going to go through? They’ve found Kobol – coincidence or scripture? Will Baltar and Laura clash? Is she *in* the cylon scripture? Will it all turn out to be nonsense and will Roslin fall on her face? I frankly don’t know which way it’s going. Which is thanks to BSG's masterful writing.

And I've seen posts on Tigh’s political inadequacy – he should’ve used the fact that the Quorum isn’t a Laura Roslin Fangirls & Fanboys club. Especially Zarek post Colonial Day. Someone noted that he paved the military/civilian conflict way for her to use, which would immediately league her with the Quorum. And she did use that path, doubling it with her dying religious leader card. Tigh should be supremely pissed off she managed to use her greatest weakness (the cancer) as her greatest advantage. And as some have noted, especially as *she* was the one to announce it and thus not letting it bite her in the ass.

I think I'm going to enjoy Lee a hell of a lot more this season. I love him. Especially when he's dangling between his betrayal of his father and his reticence to Roslin's prophetic agenda. I hope they keep him isolated like this for awhile - and with Roslin, because I adore their dynamic, whatever it is. I'm a bit spoiled for Resistance (he breaks her out of jail! Eee!) and it seems to be going that way. Wooot.

MOORE AND EICK OWN YOU.

Off to see Resistance now. Don't think I'll take notes like these when watching on the computer, though. Too tired.
- Oh, I've got meredith44 to watch Alias S2 - mainly for the J/I brilliance - and Lena Olin has made yet another victim. ;-) I do think that LFN fans would *adore* Irina (especially if you love Madeline type characters) even if in general, LFN is of much better quality. She also reiterated my request for Irina/Madeline fic. *g* HOW WONDERFUL WOULD THAT BE?! There's nothing better than pairing your two favorite older morally ambiguous mindfucking women.
  
  Hah. *dorks*
  
  And look at that! The same office! The same head tilt! And I didn't even tweak the picture. However, Madeline has that "You'll have exactly six minutes to justify yourself, although nothing you say will be of importance because I've already decided you were cancelled six months ago" look while Irina's is more of the "you will be assassinated when you walk out of my office, bitch" type.
  
  They're just begging for femmeslash. So am I. I BEG.
  
  Pimping Alias S2 has got me all nostalgic..which is funny because it seems a lot of DTs are just *now* getting completely detached. That happened to me after the godawful gaping hole of suck (ie. S3) but especially during the first half of S4. I was just SO frakking bitter I couldn't even muster the desire to watch the classics - Passage, Getaway, ADT, TTT - or read a toaster fic.
  
  Then Mirage aired and the reality of Lena's temporary return sunk in, which threw me back. Not taking in account the horrid finale, however. But it got me to revisit and appreciate how much I adored the SpyFam arc.
  
  *sigh*
  
  good times.
- And I'll have to make another post about LFN S3 and such because I have a *lot* to say about it. As well as about attempting to write a pre-series slightly-less-focused Madeline who while she may be eternally fascinating, is damn complicated. I love it. *g*
- That was SO LONG. Thank god I had actually typed up my BSG commentary.

Driving down to Florida this morning, so I'll see you all in 3 weeks! *snoogles flist*

eta - GIP for BSG S2 starts in 6 DAYS. SIX DAYS.
eta#2 - And for once, I won't need to download it and will watch it in the appartment! That is, providing we get there in less than six days - my mom IS driving, after all.
eta#3 - OMFG! *new* ADAMA/ROSLIN S2 PROMO! EEE! Still love the Adama/Roslin/Lee and Roslin/Lee shots! And a new [spoiler] Kara one! And a new Roslin shot from the S2 premiere!! And a gorgeous Lee one! And finally kimbari, you'll probably love this one. Just a guess. *g* /pimp.
eta#4 - I went clubbing with two friends and cousins from Florida last night, came back at three thirty and FELL ASLEEP. Did not pack yet. Shit.
eta#5 - Will be bringing that A/M LFN ficlet to finish writing it on the beach. *g*
eta#6 - I really really miss the GA's!

echoing the London sentiment..

My thoughts are with the Brits - hope all of you from London and your loved ones are safe and sound! My mom and I tried to call Tanya, Jamie and the Yentobs but we can't get through. I hope they're all okay.

*To quote an old Londoner who lived through the blitz and got caught up in the Canary Wharf explosion: "I've been blown up by a better class of bastard than this!" - muskrat_john

*Blimey, I didn't think the French would be THAT upset..."

*During the second statement by Blair, he was surrounded by the various heads of state and representatives to the G-8. And there stood ol' W, with the usual confused look on this face - likely wondering who had his copy of "My Pet Goat".

Hee. I adore the British.

Of course, who can stop being cynical? Thank you, Dubya, for making the world a safer place with [your] war in Iraq. This clearly goes in favor of your rhetoric. Cough.

The Rovian spin should come any second now...it's sad that tragedy and realpolitik automatically go hand in hand nowadays.

BOUNCY. L F N, LFN and more LFN.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

S3 BOXSET!! SO excited!! However, I wish I had stayed away from the fandom's opinion and reviews of it because they always end up affecting mine. Don't tell me anything! I also spoiled myself for most of the (big) surprises of the season but not episode-specific ones. (Semi) new LFN! YESYESYES. I need to finish it before I leave to Florida this Saturday...although I'm sure it'll be finished before then. ;-)

MadelineOpsMichaelNikitaMadelineOperationsNikitaMichaelOpsNIKITAMadelineMadelineMadelineOps. *incoherent LFN love*

And because I am a very shallow person I have skipped directly to a certain scene in Cat & Mouse and it took all my willpower not to do the same with Three Eyed Turtle. *g*

ETA - meredith44, I've just (finally) replied to the thread with a 10 feet long post. Hee.

I WANT JANE SMITH NOW.

Fri, 24 Jun 2005 06:30:22 GMT

Just saw Mr & Mrs Smith for the second time tonight, and I cannot express the amount of LOVE I have for this movie. FANGIRLS.

It was also better the second time around - no worrying about the movie not picking up after an almost slow start, no worrying about any of the Smiths (especially Jane, *g*) biting the dust in the end. The dinner and the "Express Yourself"/"Lay Lady Lay" scenes were still perfect.
liviapenn has a review/analysis of the movie here, thanks to voleuse for the link.

erm..TOASTER LOVE. IT EATS MY BRAIN.

Fri, 20 May 2005 04:29:29 GMT

I have the most important and stressful exam of the year tomorrow afternoon - (kickincookie, we have to do a commentaire composé in 20 FUCKING MINUTES - not three hours, heh - and then do a TAPED oral presentation of it in front of the teacher that gets sent to the IB and counts for TWENTY FUCKING PERCENT of the year.) I still have 17 texts to prepare.

Yet what am I doing? Obsessively rewatching bits of The DANCE, the whole PLANE LOVE and the APO unshackling scene which just might be my favorite.

OMFG THE APO UNSHACKLING BIT. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT. Trademark violin piece!

(in other news, I have a gorgeous and just unbelievably awesome icon by meredith44 of Madeline/Michael/Operations. Triumvirate! Badass! I adore these characters so much. And Meredith, you rock.)
