time and relative dimension in space

So. Lots of my flist has been talking about Heroes' third season. Good, bad, mixed reactions.

I never actually finished watching season two. I don't have an explanation for this. *cough* So, um. Guys. Should I be watching season three despite not having seen season two? Should I actually be making an effort to finish season two rather than continually postponing it? Should I just give up on the franchise? I don't know.

Note to self: When someone gives you a handful of sugar, it's perfectly okay to mention that you were just listening to "tick tick...BOOM!" which contains a love song to sugar. It's not so okay to segue into a total synopsis, cast analysis, and comparison to "RENT".

Yeah, I really do have a problem with giving people wayyyyyy more information than they needed. I can't help it! That's just the way my brain works!


Formally started work on "Dracula" today. Ran sound for tonight's rehearsal, but starting tomorrow (at 10AM...) I'll be the light op. No, I'm not getting paid for this. But it's my last chance to work on a Regis show as a Regis student, and I get to work with Amanda (coworker Amanda, not roommate Amanda), and Natalie and Sam are both in the cast, and, yeah. Besides, what else am I going to do with my time...seeing as I don't have an outside job yet... *is depressing*


Yesterday: intense migraine and nausea. Went to bed at 6. Didn't get up until 8 this morning. That's 14 hours in bed. Yeah.


In less depressing news, it's holiday season again! If you've posted a wishlist, let me know. ladyfiresprite, I have yours bookmarked and am contemplating what I can get you. I haven't seen anyone else's, so if I missed it, let me know!! Mine will be going up soonish. I'm compiling it in my head. Ys.


Also coming soonish: keep an eye out for flocked posts filled with links.


I...don't have anything fannish to talk about except for the strike and I promised myself I wouldn't talk about that in this post. But, yeah. I'm horribly behind on Heroes and need to get caught up (question, flist: is it worth the bother of getting caught up? should I just start watching with this next episode and hope everything I missed was of no consequence? or are Matt/Mohinder/Molly adorable enough to make it worth watching all the episodes I missed?). PD and DSM didn't air this week. And...that's all I'm watching first-run right now.

No, wait! That's not true! I'm also watching SJA, and I am caught up on that, and all I can say is: Sarah Jane is LOVE. Young!Sarah included in that. I am a little bit in love with Alan and hopes he admits to his crush on Sarah v. soon and then maybe they fall in love and Maria and Luke can be sibs ys? Also I am confused as to whether I should ship Clyde with Luke or Maria because either has the potential to be ridiculously cute. In a nonsexual-young-person way. Ys? Or am I creepy for thinking about shipping them at all?

Also: How long 'til we get Raul back on Pushing Daisies? I want my Cheno/Esparza duet, dammit.


I want to write fic but words are not coming to me. :( It's v. sad, ys. I also kind of want to vid--I have two Sweet Charity vids to do--but my two bidders haven't gotten back to me on music choices/themes/etc. And I don't feel right working on an impulse vid while having the SC vids hanging over my head. Does that make sense or is it just my Catholic guilt kicking in again?


On the bright side, I've been listening to a ton of music lately and have almost completed my goal of making sure that all 5000+ songs in my iTunes have at least one playcount. The fact that I keep adding music while trying to reach this goal doesn't help, but I believe I can make it!!


(Oh! And another RL note: Regis is offering some RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME classes next semester. Including a literature class that lists "Princess Bride" and "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" on the reading list, and a sci-fi film class. *flails* This is OF COURSE the semester AFTER I graduate. Of course, they couldn't offer these RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME classes while I was here to take them... *sigh*)

...I feel like hell.

Um. I was going to post my reactions to the Heroes S2 premiere and the Sarah Jane Adventures. But, well. I feel like hell. So quick sumups:

Heroes: ( mildly spoilery )

SJA: ( also mildly spoilery )

Also: Randall's speech at the xkcd meetup, wherein I am vaguely visible and make a bad crack about small children being crushed by our masses. If you're looking for me, I'm the skinny chick in the gray shirt with the blindingly red jacket over one arm.

And now, because of the aforementioned feeling like hell, I'm goin' to bed. Later, folks.

Stolen from everybody.

Director of Photography, Makeup Artist, Lighting Technician, Set Designer, Camera Operator, Recording Engineer, Special Effects Technician, those kinds of things? Pretty much what I'm planning to do anyway. :D :D :D

And snagged from kawaiispinnel:

( fandom countdown meme )

So, this post on female characters in fandom by fabu came up on metafandom, and I read it and it's very interesting and well-thought out and inspired that thing I do every so often where I examine my own biases in fictional characters.

( warning: this gets long and, in places, dull )


I use Chronicle icon because there is NO character in The Chronicle who I do not love unconditionally. Except for very minor characters, and even then I don't often actively dislike them. Truth.

Made for brendaisbored, who bought me my services from Sweet Charity. I hope it suits. ♥

Soooo. Both my Sweet Charity vids are Very Nearly Done. *bounce* They both just need v. minor edits, and they will be finished, and I actually like the way they turned out, quite a lot, and this makes me happy 'cause I've been working on them since, um. *checks* March? March 25. That. Yes.

Yay. :D


Also, I have new Chess recordings to listen to, which is more yayness; and, also, I have a bunch of new icons, also yay.
