I HAVE SEEN SEASON EIGHT SUPERNATURAL AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.

now I want all my tumblr feeds back and I can't remember who they were. Though, not really looking forward to reading about all the things people didn't like. I always kind of feel sorry for people when they don't enjoy something that I think was just knocked out the ballpark - in this case, great plot arc, great acting, and relationship stuff that I would have thought both Destiel shippers and Wincest fans would be ecstatic about.

Nothing like studying climate change and overconsumption and how fossil fuels are DOOMING US to get me back on public transport.

It was easy when I worked in the city, one bus straight in and it's not like you can park in the city anyway. Now I have a 30-40 minute drive and free parking versus 1+ hours, bus -> train -> busing it, so it's not like I can even just get comfy with a book.

Today my bus was on time. ON TIME. A brisk walk down to the train platform, stepping straight onto a train, then only a minute's wait until my next bus and I was home in 41 minutes. Couldn't have done it faster in the car at that time of day!!!

WIN!!!!

New house rule this week: no Dr Who until last thing before bed. Dragonfly is not happy with me.

This is hilariously silly.

Yuletide is my favourite time of year!!!

Not much time left to sign up for Yuletide! If you were considering it but don't yet have an AO3 membership, you'll need to email the mods for an invite ASAP.

Because this is so immensely exciting, here is a list of fandoms requested and offered, in order of rarity.

There's been a heap of changes this year, with having moved over to AO3. One of the awesome benefits is being able to edit your sign up (while sign ups are still open obviously). Last year, for the first time, we could edit our fics after posting which was VERY useful, especially for getting Pinch Hits in under the plate!

Sign ups opened on Saturday while I was eyeball deep in exam prep. Given how long the process was taking people (as everyone tried to sign up immediately) I exercised INHUMAN self-control and didn't sign up until after my exam, work, Bunny's dance concert, another day at work...

I did however take a break from studying on the Saturday for the approximately *cough* two to three hours *cough* it took me to write my Dear Yuletide Santa letter and put the link up on the appropriate LJ post.* This function used to be so your writer could find you easily, for more hints on what you like, but in the last few years it's become an open invitation for people with time on their hands to write random *extra* fics as treats for people. Like most people I am resistant to change and at first was all bah humbug, but now I am totally on board the More the Merrier train. I may possibly have been compulsively casually perusing the requests for inspiration...

*I HAD TO, my head was so full of what I wanted to ask for, I wasn't able to concentrate on anything else until I'd written it down.

In conclusion, SO MUCH GLEE.

The other day when I was thinking how last week's Dr Who is definitely in my Top 10 list, I realised it's been so long that my list needs updating (as you do). As I don't actually have enough time to rewatch the entire last four seasons I spent last night rewatching all my favourite scenes from all the eps. *wallows*

So, by cheating and including double eps as one when they were both awesome I turned out to have nine. And now I have just watched this week's episode and got number 10 locked in. Just for sheer Doctor awesomeness *FLAILS* God I love this season.


In the meantime, in chronological order:

1.9-1.10 The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
2 8-2.9 The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
3.8-3.9 Human Nature/Family of Blood
3.10 Blink
4.02 The Fires of Pompeii
4.10 Midnight
4.11 Turn Left
4.12-4.13 The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
5.10 Vincent and the Doctor
5.11 The Lodger

Now that I'm over my hangups about the Doctor as a sexual being I can confirm there are a few cute Eleven/Amy/Rory and Eleven/Amy/Vincent fics on Archive of Our Own, and also this is good - Seventeen Things That Happen to Rory Williams It's a non-spoilery AU where Rory and Amy have been off having adventures with the Doctor and Amy died, and Rory carries on. It's G-rated Eleven/Rory.

I think my favourite thing about this "controversial" photoshoot, is that no-one appears to have noticed that a Puss in Boots is NAKED with a sexy guy.

Because of my being super spoiler-phobic, except for the occasional random show where I'm not, I tend to be maybe a bit manic about it.

Like, the post I just did where I put the synopsis of the Supernatural episode I watched under a cut, because some people don't want to know what an episode is about before they watch it. Like me.

Now I want to EXPLODE WITH GLEE over a scene from the ep, and I didn't want to put it in the other post in case people click on the cut who like to read synopses, but don't want to know about specific scenes, and now I'm doing this post for people who like reading about small glee-inducing non-plot-spoilery scenes who don't want to know what the plot is about.

I am a tad compulsive.

Under the cut is a very small scene. It's spoilery for something that happens to Dean, without giving away specific plot spoilers.

I haven't actually posted Post 1# yet. It stares at me from its privacy lock. I think its eyes follow me.

Enough about my issues. I persuaded ravenclaw_harpy, another long, long time Star Trek fan to drive all the way across town to come see Star Trek with me, because I cannot wait til the weekend, when I am, of course, going again.

( Star Trek was JUST AS GOOD the second time because )

ravenclaw_harpy came back for coffee afterwards and asked Dragonfly if she'd loved the film...

Dragonfly - Yes and as soon as school holidays start I'm watching the whole series again!
Ravenclaw *gasp* Not Spock’s Brain?
Jen – YES
Me – Not Charlie X?
Jen – YES
Ravenclaw – Not Plato’s Stepchildren?
Jen - YES
Ravenclaw *looks impressed*
Me *looks despairing*
