I've recently been resisting the temptation to go looking for 'Lost' fic, seeing as how I hates the spoilers, and any fic not actually a single page PWP is bound to be chockers with them. Well, for a moment this evening I wavered. I fell. I googled Sawyer/Sayid, clicked on the first link and then the first story. I read four lines. And was forcibly reminded of why I generally only read fics from rec pages. I had an idea that I would post the first few lines of the fic here to illustrate the point, and went back to the page and thought I better read a few more lines, and then had to resist the urge to stab my own eyes out. Oh, what the hell.

My eyes! They burn! )


But if anyone does happen to know of any good fic that doesn't contain huge spoilery stuff...

Yeah, didn't think so.

I watched like my 4th ep of NCIS tonight, the one with the brides kept in the basement plotline. My thoughts. Kate is cool. Gibbs and the goth girl are very cute the way they flirt :) But Di Nozzo (sp?) makes my skin crawl. He was uber sleazy and worse - nasty.

Just saw The Agency for the first time. Stiles and Lex on a hijacked plane. Very cool ep. Also Lex is cute and Stiles is just incredibly Guh.

So, I thought I was going to the bbq in Kings Park today. Live Action Quidditch was only one of the many enticements, as well as getting to hang with my homies…

See how I try to be funky and fail badly

But then there was this thing where I was just really having a crap day and honestly, someone would have only had to look at me wrong and I would have burst into tears. Safer for everyone really that I stayed bunkered down only emerging from the house to wrestle with Dragonfly's juryrigged watering system. It doesn't like me, it can tell I'm a pansy. I'm really hoping for rain tonight.


In other news, I finally got through The Fast and the Furious )


And also Michael Rosenbaum? In the scenes of them making him over for Sorority Boys? Bare to the chest, with his No1 haircut and fully made up? Hottest thing I've seen in like FOREVA.

Love the gender bending.

Which brings me to Kass Rachel  )

Since I STILL can't rec or code ANYTHING i'm going to dribble on instead. So in the newspaper today I see Latham is courting the 'sought after nerd vote' by comparing himself to Luke Skywalker and using other SW references. Hear that? Our vote is 'sought after' Who knew? Oh, except for the women nerds probably.

So I've been bumbling** about around ljs and links even more than usual. I found a community called Making Fun of Stupid People, which kept me amused for about 6.5 minutes, found out all about all the controvertial changes George Lucas has made to the original SW trilogy for the dvd release. (Gunguns!!! I want to cry) found Peter David's blog. Was reassured his political views are the right ones (ie match mine) Mind you, I tend to assume all us nerds think the same way, which is probably a tad naive.

And Michael Moore's letter to Bush 'It Takes Real Courage to Desert Your Post and Then Attack a Wounded Vet' among others

Go read the 17/9 lj entry by koaloha, who tired of fundamentalists in her face on the subway fought back with showtunes. When I stumbled over this I had just accidently watched an episode of SVU (which I generally avoid at all costs as sexual violence/violence against women upsets me. It's too close to home). But I was talking to Dragonfly, and Keller (whoever) is so pretty, and the next thing women were being raped on subway trains while other commuters did nothing. So reading the lj entry gave me a less traumatic perspective on riding the subway.

TPM is one fandom I've never got into, mostly due to my intense dislike of the latest films. But then fearlessdiva goes around around reccing TPM PleasureSlave!Porn fics. Who can resist that?

Also a hell of a lot of people seem to have suddenly gone 'Right, it is now my mission in life to put together a comprehensive list, complete with links of all the best Harry/Draco, or Harry/Snape, or even, hey, every pairing I can think of'. These people are my new best friends.

And I created my dmoc community and then did nothing constructive with it like, for example contacting the only other person I know of who likes it enough to write it, or putting anything in it myself. But I feel like I've done something constructive and that's what matters. *beams* Though I did lure Zebra over on the premise of rewatching Get Real and then forced her to watch DMOC. She was kind enough not to say anything abusive to me afterwards. And she's starting to appreciate Get Real. So I feel it was a win overall.

There was other stuff to but that's probably enough linkless recs for now. And also? Why am I typing this with freaking page formatting overlaid? (ie 'Screen Comments' etc) LJ really doesn't like me right now. *sulk*


**odd word choice but I've decided I like it.

After a lot of soulsearching I've become convinced that I will never appreciate anime.

*pauses while sundry friends try to come to terms with this shocking revelation*

Even now a dvd sits on my shelf, waiting forlornly, lent me by a well-meaning friend. 'Look, it's got vampires!' Hopeful look in his eyes.

Just saw 'Kill Bill'. Which seems to be just anime with actors so they can make the blood and gore even more...entertaining? Having said that, I did like the stylistic stuff, the club with the band with the beehives and the jivey dancing, and the way the gang arranged themselves along the upper floor. Also deep appreciation for Uma Thurman in all the scenes where she wasn't blood covered, but then I've had a crush on Uma most of my adult life so not unbiased here. But my opinion overall... Meh. My first reaction when the credits finally rolled was 'Oh thank god.' followed by 'Not even for Uma am I seeing the second one.'


I thought from the promos that I might not love 'The Village' I'm only 2 for 3 in liking M. Night's films, as I inexplicably failed to appreciate 'Unbreakable' despite my intense love for Bruce and Samuel. *shrug* Anyhow, glad to be wrong. Joachim was amazing, so was Ron Howard's kid and The Pianist guy. It was suitably creepy and suspenseful and the twist at the end was twisty. I do have one quibble. which I'm lj-cutting because I'm not spoiler!girl. ) But. Very Cool Film.



Ah Clive! *shakes head* Clive, Clive, Clive. What happened? You signed your contract before you read the script? Or were you there for Keira in blue body paint? God knows the rest of us were... If this sounds like I didn't like 'King Arthur' just cos I'm bitching about it, it's just not so. The film was pretty. The countryside, the costumes, and lordy, lordy Keira and Ioan were all pretty. And Clive was Manly. Even the story was reasonably good (not in an excess plotty way) But the script! The script! Not point-and-snigger bad...just damn tedious.

And Ioan? Should play 'The Master' in the new Dr Who series. Or else spend the rest of his life making pirate movies. I'm just saying.

In other news, [livejournal.com profile] mr_booboo stopped by tonight to show off in an unbecoming gloatingly way her new fabulous car because she wanted to share some quality time with her friends. We revenged ourselves by inflicting Bunny on her. Our own personal WoMD.

Today I had a day off. I played with Bunny a lot. Good time.

In between I watched

Half of 'Shrek 2'
90% of 'Van Helsing'
4 episodes of 'Coupling'.

Fannish highlight of my day? The lovely Jack Davenport attempting to describe the plot of 'Lesbian Spank Inferno'.


My sincere apologies to the person (Trille?) who previously attempted to describe the wonders of 'Coupling' to me, and was rudely rebuffed because I'd seen a couple of scenes here and there and with no context and not realised how funny it really, really is.

Was a captive audience the other night to friends who invited me over, fed me homemade gourmet pizza, forced me to watch a few episodes and then insisted I borrow the DVD.



And just for the hell of it, I'm reccing a Ginny/Rita Skeeter fic.
