time and relative dimension in space

I just finished the final season of Being Human.

I don't have any in-depth thoughts to offer at the moment. All I can say is I'm really glad it ended on the note it did.

Well done, writers, cast, and crew.

This is a list of AWESOME THINGS.

First the real-life non-fandom one: I just had a phone interview for a job, and it went really well. Obviously "interview went well" does not automatically translate to "got the job" (other people's interviews could also go really well! they could find someone more qualified/a better fit than me! etc.) but either way it's a nice ego boost that is kind of needed right now. And it COULD translate to "got the job"?

Next the fandom stuff:

New trailer for Doctor Who Series 7, and oh gosh it is fantastic. PONDS. DOCTOR. GUNSLINGERS. I think my favorite bit is "Will everyone who is not American drop their gun?" "I didn't mean to do that!" but it is ALL FANTASTIC.

Also I watched the BBC Dirk Gently series and it is wonderful. Stephen Mangan is not exactly my mental Dirk, but he works well enough as a sort of AU version, and their version of Janice is so perfect I can't even. I mean. She really is Janice. ♥ Also, ELENA. ...I am possibly a bit odd.

And, finally, it seems that the Being Human writers have decided that their show mandate is "Break as many hearts as possible". Why do you destroy everything good in the universe, Being Human, why? Also, when is season five?

A list of unrelated awesome things:

♦ Being Human has been picked up for a fourth series! I don't know what's going to happen but I am so excited I can't even you guys. I can't even. Also, curse you Peter Jackson and your casting decisions. CURSE YOU.

♦ I have a new mouse! This is probably not exciting to other people, but my old mouse was driving me crazy; it would double-click when I wanted to single-click, or sometimes it wouldn't single-click at all, and I gave up successfully drag-and-dropping some time ago because it just wouldn't. But my new mouse does all that on the first try and it's so nice to have a working mouse again! Also it is wireless. I've never had a wireless mouse before. It's nifty.

♦ Today's mail brought me a shipment of two Sandman volumes (specifically, A Game Of You and Fables And Reflections). OMG YAY. My dead-tree Sandman collection is coming along nicely. ;) Amazon gift cards were the best invention ever.

♦ Speaking of Sandman (I know, I said it was a list of unrelated things), BUT ANYWAY, Sandman crossovers started eating my brain awhile ago, and in my various quests to actually write one of them I have stumbled upon a Sandman/Andromeda crossover that actually seems to be working. OMG YAY. I miss finishing fic. ...of course, now that I've said that, I won't be able to finish it. Or I'll finish it and discover it sucks and vow never to let anyone else see it. But right now I'm quite liking it.

♦ Animorphs: The Radio Drama (Uncensored!) has gotten their site back up (and redesigned!) and added a couple old shows. Old to them, new to me, I mean. ILU, ARDU guys! You make me smile. :D

♦ Miss nikiness has returned to LiveJournal fandom! Admittedly it's Supernatural fandom which I am not in, but I'm just bouncy and glad that she's returning to LJ at all. YAY. :D

♦ I'm looking in to renting a local hotel room for a night. If I can manage it, that would be ~24 hours I could have totally to myself and omg it would be so welcome. The problem is finances, as the problem so frequently is, but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to manage it.

♦ Kagerou, which everyone should be reading if they are not already, has just started a new plot arc that looks like it's going to be, frankly, AMAZING. And game-changing. And awesome.

♦ I switched the e-mail associated with this account to my GMail address, so now I'm getting my LJ notifs again. I hate not getting notifications in a timely manner.

What little, probably-insignificant-to-most-everyone-else stuff going on in your life do you think is awesome? SHARE THE AWESOME.

Re: this week's Being Human:

Holy shit, this is double-plus not good. D: D: D:

You know what's awesome? BEING HUMAN. That's what's awesome.

The UK version that is.

The [redacted for spoilers] shippy developments this week made me both cheer and get a heavy feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach because I don't think it's going to go anywhere good ... :| But JUST MAYBE I am wrong and it will end in. Er. Butterflies! Or something similarly happy.



On the other hand, the US version is not so awesome. But the werewolf!mentor who's a douche was like my least favorite storyline in the original so maybe that's coloring my dislike of this episode?
Or maybe I should stop making excuses for why I'm not sold on it yet?
IDK IDK. I'm gonna give it at least one more week, though.

Just watched the premiere of Being Human (US) on Syfy.

My thoughts have not changed significantly since watching the leak, but whatever:

( cut for spoilers )

Final verdict: Not as terrible a trainwreck as I feared. I'll keep watching for now.

OMG

SO I'M CAUGHT UP ON BEING HUMAN NOW AND

OMG

EPIC

EPIC

AND BREAKY

AND ALSO EPIC

OMG

WHEN IS SERIES THREE?

sorry for capslock abuse. :(

( Brief thoughts on Being Human 2x04 )

...also, new LOST tonight!

...Really? Really?

...I don't even know, man. But it's FOX, and we all know how Fox deals with science fiction, amirite.


A vein in my left eyelid is spasming. It has been doing so for approx. 24 hours now and is really annoying. I googled it and just found a lot of advice to get more sleep (yeah, thanks, like I didn't already know my sleep patterns are inadequate but I CAN'T FIX THAT), drink less caffeine (hdu), and wait for it to go away on its own (...). You have failed me, Google.


I still need to watch this week's Being Human, but I don't want to do so while my eyelid is throbbing because I won't be able to pay the proper amount of attention. :( WAS IT EPIC? I BET IT WAS EPIC.

Endway has a third album out? How did I not know this until ten minutes ago? (They're offering it for free on their website which is nice 'cause if they were selling it I really couldn't afford to buy it right now.)

(They're also offering their first two albums for free, apparently, which doesn't affect me since I already bought them quite a while ago but still. How do these guys make money?)

Maybe this will inspire me to get more work done on Better Than It Sounds! Or maybe it won't. Who knows. Still, shiny new musics by band I like!


Also shiny: new Being Human, which I have not seen yet, but I'm excited about seeing.


The little brother has returned to school, so. Secondary TV and BBC America access are no more. On the up side, I don't have to share my quiet time during the day any more!


...I'm not sure this entry makes any sense whatsoever. o.0
