Dragonfly and Bunny went late night shopping* tonight so we've only had time to watch one ep of something tonight. I gave Dfly the choice of:

New season eps of Downton Abbey, Sleepy Hollow or Person of Interest, or the pilot of GOTHAM

...and to her own gobsmackedness she chose Downton Abbey!!

Now we're watching it and I've shouted at Thomas to shut up twice already. GAH, I just want him to come to a sticky end and put everyone out of our misery. Every now and again they give us hints that he has redeeming qualities but it's just not enough, he's just a vicious little shite.


*For non-Australians, 'late night shopping' refers to the fact that shops shut on weekdays between 5-6pm, except on Thursdays when they stay open till *gasp* NINE PM. Periodically we have referendums to decide if we will reject our Parochial ways and embrace Globalism and start opening 24/7 and we keep knocking it back, but they are slowly finding loopholes and ways around the laws so that some types of shops now open Sundays and later in the evenings, but not the shopping centres.

I'm sorry, I know I'm breaking the fandom 'cool' rule here but OMG my Green Wing Yuletide fic got recced on epic_recs!!!!!


EVEN MORE COOLNESS. PR Zed has posted the Batman vid she made me for Sweet Charity and it is MADE OF AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

It's about the FRIENDSHIP between Batman and Jim Gordon and the timing! and the clips! and the music! are all PERFECT.

Everybody watch it and see how BRILLIANT it is!!!!!!!!

[Poll #1252937]

Bruce has been affected by the Scarecrow's 'fear' drug.

Bruce - I'm having horrible visions...of my father.

Bruce staggers to his feet. Alfred reaches out with both hands to steady him, looking worried, but Bruce(not noticing) turns away.

Bruce *staring over the lair's ledge* He says I'm shaming the family name.

Alfred - That's rubbish! *walks up behind Bruce and puts his hand on his shoulder* I know your father would be proud of you... *Bruce turns to face him and Alfred puts his other hand on Bruce's other shoulder* ...because I'M so proud of you.

Me - Awwww.

Bunny *glances at me*

Alfred - *tugs at Bruce's arm* Now come on, it's time for some chicken soup and a good night's sleep.

They walk across the lair to the console - arms around each other.

Bruce - Alfred? *puts his hand on Alfred's shoulder* Thanks.

Me - AWWWWWW.

Bunny *earnestly* I'm proud of him too. For trying hard!

- After the PMS from hell last week, followed by a weekend of euphoric energy and mad productivity, my body has now completed the cycle with annoying inconvenient physical symptoms of which I have only this to say. Ow. A lot. And also, see how I'm stupidly not asleep? This mindset where I go to work no matter how shit I feel (I blame 7 years of shift work) is really something I'm going to have to lose. Stupid headache today = 3 hours to type up the notes from a teleconference. Not a shining example of efficiency. Also my boss came out his office twice to stare at me worriedly and tell me to go home.

- Needless to say, got nothing productive done tonight, except beta reading a short fic. Then watched a couple more episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures with Dragonfly. This is a really good show, if you get past the pilot. Which I didn't, first time I tried it. I'm glad angriest told me to get over myself and just watch it already. And kid friendly of course.

- My beta says my 7000 word Batman fic needs more "Gothamic atmosphere" and my Gordon needs to be more "coppy". I totally agree, and I am not even grumpy - I'm having so much fun writing this.

- One of my lecturers last semester said that Australia has the most restricted press of any democracy. I said, disbelievingly, surely not worse than America? The Australian, on Seven's refusal to show the booked and paid for Get Up ad at the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

- Spent $14 a 'connector' to enable my modem to be plugged directly into the wall so I could test if it was the phone line causing the internet speed from hell. Only to realise as I pulled out the double adapter from my old school phone jack that the modem had the right jack already to be able to plug in in the first place *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* I think the iinet IT person and I completely confused each other. I blame her a little bit for assuming that the jack had to be the small one you get now, and for it not occurring to her to just ask the idiot customer, what is your modem plugged into now? And I blame me a lot for teh stoopid. Long story short, bolded because, hell I'd be skimming this waffle, the land line is faulty and killing our internet, therefore our land line is currently disconnected. I am contactable pretty much all the time by email anyway, and of course, we have our mobiles.

Um, I'm not very good at being in The Dark Knight fandom. All I want to do is read nice little gen Commissioner Gordon fics but THOSE DAMN SLASHERS GET EVERYWHERE.

Things I have learned about TDK fandom.

1. Batman/Joker is THE pairing of choice, apparently, though I have had to scroll very fast past something that is apparently a 'kinkfic' involving Gordon/Harvey and I can't say anything more if you haven't seen the movie but. ew.

2. WIPs drown everything else out.

3. Not really surprisingly, lots of non-con, sexual violence, other violence.

4. Apparently it's acceptable to header your fic with: I finished this in four hours. Four hours! I'm more used to writing stories in four months. What just happened? How did I do that? I should probably re-read this before posting it. Y'kno what- I don't care. Just read. Suffer through my typos.

Um, no. Bye.


And now I just read a short fic because it had Gordon in it and was well written and I kept hoping he'd get rescued, but no, the Joker carved him up into little pieces and now I have to go curl up in a ball somewhere and whimper for a while.

In the car afterwards...

Me - And could Christian Bale GET any hotter? I don't think so!
special_trille *pause* I could do without the assault charges...
Me *stares at her horrified*
Trille - You didn't know?
Me - NO OMG.
Trille - How could you not know?
Me - I have had my computer turned off for a week.
Trille ....
Me - Tell me.
Trille - I can't.
Me - Tell me.
Trille - It's bad.
Me - Girlfriend?
Trille - Worse.
Me - Kid?
Trille - Mother and sister.
Me *bands head on steering wheel repeatedly*
Trille - There's a possibility it was just verbal assault and all LIES, anyway.
Me *cries*

( So, um, saw Dark Knight )

Meanwhile, Eric Roberts continues to be one of the hottest men on the planet. It's hard to believe he's 52. Yes, I am shallow.
