MORE COMING TONIGHT. :D

 I don't really have collected thoughts on it. not that the lack of capslock means that I didn't like it! I did. I really liked it.

Just a little busy being super baffled.

Things of note:( spoilers )

 ANYWAYS. I really liked that episode, it was at once satisfying and raised a ridiculous amount of questions. Oh Moff Who and Team Eleven, I am so pleased you are back. 

( kinda spoilery too )

OH YEAH also I accepted at Kalamazoo and have my deposit in and will be going there in Fall of 2012. and now for New Zealand preparations! I will probably get to see them filming the Hobbit! if I'm lucky and have funds, I might be able to fly over to the Philippines for a bit during the N.Z. summer holiday! THIS IS ALL TERRIBLY EXCITING.

First genderswap meme response up here: Golden Age Pevensies & Queen Cassia, picspam & accompanying fic. Yes, that is a new community. I wanted someplace to dump things that wasn't my personal journal. More genderswap replies coming later for: Supernatural, Merlin, Downton Abbey & White Collar.

and now for the Awesome Ladies meme!

the list:

1. Susan Pevensie (Narnia)
2. Keladry of Mindelan (Protector of the Small)
3. Jesse Flores (T:SCC)

(do you know how hard this was to narrow down? I wanted to put EVERYONE on there. I switched names in and out for probably half an hour before settling on this. SO MANY LADIES.)

and responses!

( 11 responses. ) 

and that one meme with your WIP titles. I don't really have a WIP folder, just a writing one, but let's see what I've got in there. 

( I have got to finish some of this stuff. )

 Today is Mary's second-to-last day at home, and her last full day. I have been absurdly busy, but in the short moments I've been online, I have been SO pleased about all the vids being posted. (VidCon! though not all of them, I think.)

So a drive-by rec: Run With Me by chaila43 , which is essentially a vid about how River Song could probably take on the entire universe and WIN because she is just that awesome, and it is a vid to Speeding Cars by Imogen Heap, and it is just AWESOME, omg. Parallels! Wonderful cutting! The story of River and the Doctor done so well and so beautifully! It makes me giddy with joooy.

okay, off to play Alibi with family. considering that I have managed approximately four days to myself in the past four-five weeks, I'm pretty sure I'll spend most of tomorrow past noon hiding in my room having a nervous breakdown, finishing rewatching T:SCC or watching other stuff, and hanging out on Skype hoping to talk to people. See you!

So Aidan's gone as of Friday afternoon (Mary's staying for three weeks, yay!). We went to the beach, to the springs, played Ultimate Frisbee, had a party, and played possibly illegal amounts of board and card games. I socialized for what ended up being almost five days. Still utterly exhausted and anti-social. I slept badly Friday night, woke up three times or so.

Yesterday night I didn't get enough sleep either, for other reasons. Mostly involving The Roach Saga. (I HATE roaches, guys. SO MUCH.) About five in the morning today a roach took it into it's head to be as obnoxious to Mary as possible, including running across her face. *shudder* Then it got onto my bed, and things spiraled out of control from there until Mary was sleeping on the couch in the living room and Katherine and I had the lights on and were watching Primeval (the last four episodes of Season 3) and White Collar's first episode on my bed, while encouraging our dog to kill any roaches she found in our room. So yeah. I got... six hours of sleep last night? I've been alternating between hyper and looking drugged all day. Anyway, that all led to the Great Roach Hunt, wherein Kat and Mary and I spent large portions of today clearing out my room. Really thoroughly.


It's going to be pretty fabulous, guys. There have already been some great meta-pieces, and I know there'll be more. You should drop by! 

Vid recs! I have four.

Your Ghost by charmax is a devastating and beautiful Winchester family epic. The lyrics are utterly perfect, the song is beautiful with the right melancholy to it, and the story told is wonderful. Three generations of Campbells/Winchesters, with all their utter tragedy!

Never Gonna Leave Me by lee_fragilidad is a Syfy Alice vid, Alice/Hatter, and it's just the right mix of upbeat running/fighting and wishful glances. The cutting is sharp and the whole thing is really well-constructed.

Bad Romance by such_heights may have me convinced that I need to finish watching S2 of Merlin. (I'm.. .not sure why I haven't, actually.) But I definitely have to watch the Morgause episodes, and this vid is why. Gwen/Morgana/Morgause love triangle! WANT.

Lullaby For A Stormy Night by such_heights is the tiny!Amy and Eleven vid we all knew we wanted. So adorable, omg. ♥

On TV-watching fronts! White Collar 2x01 was quite lovely. Neal and Peter were in fine bickering form, Mozzie played a great role. I only wish there had been more (MUCH MORE) of El and Diana, and that that one Scare hadn't happened at the end.( spoilerrrrrs )

Primeval is pretty wonderful - I wish it was more racially diverse, but they are fairly decent on delivering Awesome Ladies Being Awesome and there is no shortage of handsome men and I am shallow. ( spoilers through 3x03 )

Femgenficathon it is! this needs to be DONE. I need to move on! wait what why am I writing Claudia Brown/Jenny Lewis fic all of a sudden. *eyes* but I wanted to write Rosalie fic? except... I guess that's not happening. 

 things I want: lots more indulgent world-building fic about a world ( Doctor Who  )

you know, the more things I hear about SPN S6, the more I get excited for it! it's sounding kind of epic. 

poetry is EPIC, guys! especially when you're relating it to fandom, which means that gid_hanasheh and motherlessguns are awesome and that everyone should watch them.

man, SPN is addictive, isn't it? and it spreads like wildfire! let's see. I got Lass hooked, Lass got Z and Wyrm into it (and I think others I don't know), Larm and I got Meto and Irish and Kate into it, and now I'm sort of worried for ALL OF YOU GUYS' SANITY. SPN will steal it! and rip your heart out! oh wait, you know that now. 

I want to watch Happy Town, because it's crazy and fun, but at the same time - it creeped me out SO badly, and that was just the first episode. I think I have to be very careful about how I'm doing emotionally before I finish watching it. 

I did, however, watch the SyFy Alice, which has been on my list for a long time, and Alice/Hatter is adorable, y'all. Also everyone kicks ass! I always enjoy that.

I get to plan hopeful college-visiting! YAY.

 I have been having A LIFE this week, guys! I went out like three or four times? I went to a movie! and the springs (twice)! and I actually Did Things with Real, Live People and I didn't even consider injuring anyone! not once! 

and now it is WHO TIME OMGGGGG.

JUST THREE MORE MINUTES. 

It's storming, but the lightning must hold off long enough for it to download! PLEASE.

(PS: No, seriously, did someone like TRAVEL FORWARDS IN TIME, find out my preferences in men, and then create Methos from them?)

Title: My Imperfect Offering
Vidder: be_themoon
Fandom: Doctor Who (New)
Music: "Aside" by The Weakerthans
Spoilers: Large spoilers through 5x09.
Summary: Rory!
Streaming/Download: Streaming at Vimeo and download at FileFront.
Notes: This isn't meant to be a great vid - I did it solely as therapy for yesterday's episode. I'm kind of like this :( right now, because I'd meant to do a Rory-only vid once the whole season was over and I had more material, and, well.

( Sing my imperfect offering. )

GUYS GUYS GUYS kaydeefalls has posted a new Doctor Who fanvid and because she is ABSURDLY GOOD it is WONDERFUL. 

So What Do I Do With This, an Amy-centric fanvid set to "Stray Italian Greyhound" by Vienna Teng. The song choice and lyrics is spot-on, the vidding is beautifully done, it's just perfect, okay? (I am especially amused by the juxtaposition of the Doctor with the lyrics "so what do I do with this / this stray Italian greyhound" because it fits so well.) BUT: those of you on the American schedule, this vid does contain clips and very minor spoilers from 5x07 "Amy's Choice", so you might want to wait a week and watch it then. I don't thinkt it really spoils anything for the episode that can be understood without watching the episoe, but still, be careful.

I've been self-medicating with it and other fannish things all morning. Sam and Katherine were gone this morning when my mom woke up, but so were their bikes and they've headed out on walks without telling anyone, so she wasn't worried at first, just angry that they were still doing this after she'd told them to stop. It eventually turned out that they had gone to some neighbors who have animals and are apparently STILL THERE, without telling any of us, three and a half hours later. So I am pissed at them, and only now starting to un-panic.

Now playing only on Dreamwidth: Sixteen Pounds, Titanium (my Generation Kill meta/picspam/pimping post).

oh, last night's Criminal Minds! a thing of BEAUTY. Pitch-perfect character interaction, focus on the victims and their agency, Reid and Prentiss and Morgan being adorable, Garcia being <3333333333333333, Rossi dry and snarky, Hotch and his non-reassurances, JJ and how she still worries when parenting and children are involved. Criminal Minds is always good, but when it's at it's best it's like no time went by at all while you were watching it, and last night it was at it's best. (Prentiss and Reid gambling for pretzels and cheetos! omg adorable.)

you guys tonight is the second-to-last episode of Supernatural Season 5. *panicky eyes* I don't know how they're fixing this. but at least there is a Season 6! and the producers have sworn that they're wrapping up this plotline the way they always meant to, so I don't have to worry about plot decay.

and Saturday a new Who! in VENICE, with Rory and vampires! it's going to be fabulous.

Unfortunately, I won't get to see Doctor Who until Sunday. Friday afternoon my sister and I are driving down to St. Petersburg to visit a really close friend in college. She got engaged recently and she's moving out West to be with her fiance and switching colleges, so this may be one of the last times we see her for a while. D: but we're going to be staying overnight and coming back only late on Saturday.

on a last note, newredshoes asked "What ridiculous AU do YOU want?" to her f-list, and I immediately went "OMG GK BASEBALL AU" (of course! if only my dad realized what an influence baseball has been on my life, despite only playing one season of softball). I want it, guys. where is the baseball AU? must I write it myself? I do not have time! (Fact: if it's a team show, I want a baseball AU. I just want it much more desperately than normal for GK.)

maybe I just desperately want all kinds of crossovers and AU's? that's probably part of it.
