11:52 pm [Link]	SPN-killing me softly I have to say, that after watching the last 2 eps of Supernatural, I am utterly wrecked........and in a hurty good kinda way. You know, in the way that my favorite boys are producing such delicious angst, like a fan fic come to life. That kind of way, not the let's kill off a main character for no apparent reason and change the dynamic of the entire show. Yes, that's a Torchwood and RTD dig, and I do remain bitter about Ianto's demise. Sorry, but that's stil a bitter pill to swallow. So, Kripke, you are killing me, but in a good way. I trust you to do right by our boys, and that wascally angel too, eventually. Current Mood: melancholy (Leave a comment)

12:35 am [Link]	Harry Potter Today I went to the theater to view an actual movie. I really can't remember the last time that I did that. The movie in question was The Half Blood Prince, which involves a certain teen wizard that we all know and some of us love. All I can say is Alan Rickman and Tom Felton stole the show, in my opinion. The final scenes were awesome. This probably won't be my favorite in the saga ( the fourth movie holds that honored position), but I liked it and will probably go see it again. As for opening trailers, I am very interested in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie, with Robert Downey Jr. as the man in question and Jude Law as Watson. You could really see the chemistry between the characters, just from the trailer, so I predict a lot of buzz over this pairing. Very slasheable and yummy indeed!

03:27 pm [Link]	Torchwood I played hookie from work today. I just returned from getting an oil change for the car and ran by the bank, but the morning was spent watching Torchwood Children of Earth Day One and Day Two. Not to let slip any spoilers, but the two eps were phenomenal. All the characters were stellar, but I was especially impressed with Ianto Jones. He has really developed from the teaboy with the cyber girlfriend in the basement into a full fledged TW team member. :) Can't wait to dl the other eps, but that will have to wait until the weekend, I think. Back to the salt mines tomorrow! Current Location: home Current Mood: excited (Leave a comment)

05:42 pm [Link]	Meme Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms. 1) Sam/ Dean-Supernatural 2) Ianto/Jack-Torchwood 3) Rodney/John-Atlantis 4) Ten/Donna- Dr. Who 5) Brian/Justin-Queer as Folk 6) Nick/Greg-CSI 7) House/Wilson-House 8)Mulder/Scully-X-Files 9) Mal/River-Serenity/Firefly 10) Scott/Logan-X-men I snagged this from various other flisters. And, yes, I know that Mulder and Scully is old school, but I like to think that that this ship was a precursor to my obsession with slash. As for the Mal/ River ship, the final scenes in Serenity clinched it for me. My one beef with this is that you had to pick different fandoms for each choice. That was hard, as I slash Rodney with Ronon in SGA and Sam with Castiel in SPN. Also, I am becoming rather enamored of Ten/ Ianto, as well.

After much drama and gnashing of teeth, I added this lovely SPN header, courtesy of apieceofcake Current Location: home Current Mood: aggravated (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:42 pm [Link]	Quick note about SPN Let me just begin by stating that, once upon a time, Thursday and Friday used to be the highlights of TV viewing in my household. Then, Brad Wright and Joe Malozzie destroyed Stargate Atlantis for me, so Supernatural has become my main fannish focus. ( Yes, Torchwood is still very shiny, but I will have to wait 'til Season 3 starts.) I'm enjoying S4 of SPN. Dean is back from hell, Sam's got a whole bunch of secrets, and Kripke has introduced us to some pretty cool Angels. Speaking of which, if Castiel gets anymore buzz, he might just need to have his own spinoff (ideas, anyone?). However, with all of these changes, I sometimes find some of the recent eps very painful to watch. I guess that I miss our emo boys, ridin' in the Impala, chasing what goes bump in the night, together as a united front. Yes, I know, that this was the goal all along, good vs. evil, and the brothers' relationship would be a casualty. But, it's still difficult to watch sometimes. I guess I just need settle down with my S1 DVDs and watch some old school eps. Current Mood: nostalgic (Leave a comment)

11:37 am [Link]	ICE+ ROAD= WRECKED CAR Ok, I live in SC, where snow and ice is a monumental event. All of you folks who have been besieged by snow and ice recently can begin laughing at the newbie over here. Believe me, I don't mind. The forecast was for " a few flurries possible", not an inch of snow. Still, that's not so bad, is it? Well, it is when the temps drop to 27 degrees, and the freaking melting snow freezes, all while the sun is shining merrily. So, I am travelling along, hit a patch of ice, and the rest is history. I now have damage to the front of my car, but it is driveable. That and the fact that I was unharmed is the best part of the situation. However, I got lectures from the SO , who told me that I was drving too fast, and my mother, who stated that I had no business driving. It's so nice to be loved. LOL. So, in conclusion, I can't wait for July! Current Location: SO's house Current Mood: annoyed (4 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:29 am [Link]	Just wanted to run in and wish all of you fellow flisters a wonderful holiday, however you choose to celebrate. My wish for everyone is a 2009 full of peace and goodness and a Naked John/Rodney, Brian/Justin, Sam/Dean, Jack/Ianto, House/Wilson, etc., etc., or permutations of the previously mentioned. You have all brought me laughter and tears and just plain good times with your fics and posts this past year. My flist is an important part of my day. Thank you all. Now, back to the insanity of assisting the maternal unit in preparing Christmas dinner. Current Location: home Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: TV (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

06:41 pm [Link]	Sam and Dean.....and Alex Trebek Did anybody else catch this last night? So, I had the TV on while I was in the kitchen, slicing vegetables for supper. I really wasn't listening carefully, just filtering random questions. The category had something to do with TV trivia. I had mentally answered a few questions, when I heard Alex say, " Brothers Sam and Dean travel around the country in a classic car and hunt demons", or something to that affect. I immediately yell out "What is Supernatural?" and realized that I was alone (SO was asleep) and talking to the TV. Oh well, I was excited that I got a Jeopardy question right, and it involved our beloved Winchesters. And, then the next category was physics-related, and there was a question about string theory. So, I got a little dose of Rodney McKay related trivia there, too. This really wasn't much to post about, but it made my little fangirl heart happy.

11:38 am [Link]	I'm currently at home, not at work. I cannot adequately express my enthusiasm for that fact, let tell ya. In this time of an ailing economy, my agency, as a branch of the larger state department of special needs, is facing cuts, as is everyone else, I know. But,this little gem of negativity, in addition to the psycho drama that is my work environment, has "forced" me to play sick today. So, here I am, enjoying the hell out of my sick day. To comment on some of the fandoms, I have not been all that disturbed about SGA's cancellation. The writing this season has really sucked, as Rodney has become a pod person and Keller has become the greatest physician in the Pegasus Galaxy (how the hell did that happen???). And, don't even get me started on their great romance, of which I have yet to see any evidence. Cuz, the actors are not showing it, at all. Anyhoo, onto SPN. I am greatly enjoying Jensen Ackles this season, more than usual, and the eps have been awesome. Not really sold on Castiel, as he has been instigating trouble between the brothers, but, I'll reserve judgment until I see how his plotline develops. Lastly, I have to watch "Exit Wounds", and I will have finished S1 and 2 of Torchwood. Yes, I'm currently digging through the fic, and I can honestly say, that this fandom is about as massive as SGA. But, I do love Ianto Jones and his "dabbling" with The Harkness. Current Location: home Current Mood: relaxed Current Music: silence (Leave a comment)

11:06 pm [Link]	SPN!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome premiere! It's weird because I really did not anticipate the beginning of this season, as I have the previous two. But from the minute I saw the words, "The Road So Far", I was hooked and had that old feeling of anticipation. It just felt pretty damn good to see the boys ridin' in The Car. Can't wait to see how it will all play out! Current Location: home Current Mood: happy Current Music: ESPN (10 comments \| Leave a comment)

08:17 pm [Link]	I'm viewing my way through S1 of Torchwood and thoroughly enjoying it. It's just the kind of campy SCiFI that I like with an added dash of canon slash. Ianto Jones has joined the ranks of greatness right along with Rodney McKay. He's alot of muted snark with a side of droll. And, he can certainly bring on the angst, a la Cyberwoman and Countrycyde. The SO and I are off the to the beach tomorrow morning for a weekend of relaxation, and believe me, we both need it. Our respective jobs have been brutal recently. Hopefully, I can catch SGA tomorrow night. Everybody have a great weekend! Current Location: SO's place Current Mood: excited Current Music: silence (Leave a comment)

11:32 am [Link]	Various topics Well, Hanna has made her exit from our neck of the woods early this morning, and hopefully, Ike will weaken significantly. I just watched one news channel that showed the storm taking the same path as Gustav. November cannot come soon enough! I caught SGA last night and kinda liked it, even though it was Rodney and Team lite. I'm still bummed about the cancellation and the apparent " let's pair Rodney off or die" movement that is prevailing on the show right now. I liked him better when he was snarking with John and hanging with Ronon and Teyla, while saving the day. He didn't seem as though he was dying of loneliness, to me. Oh, well, I think that it is this growing disallusionment that has contributed to my growing fascination with Torchwood and Ianto Jones. I started reading the fic about 2 weeks and began watching S1 DVDS(birthday gift from the SO) on Thursday. However, I'm sticking with SGA until the end. I can't give up my Rodney addiction. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch next weeks ep on Friday, but we're off to Myrtle Beach Friday morning for a weekend getaway. So, I may have to read the recap on the flists.

11:08 pm [Link]	So, the flist is blowing up with the news that SGA will be gone after the conclusion of this season. From the sources that I have read, it appears that the high cost of production is the reason. But, couldn't they at least have given us an abbreviated S6 or something? Damn, they will probably do something stupid, like kill Rodney, in the 2 hour movie. But what can you expect from a network that features an original movie about bird flu. Yes, that is what will be on "The Most Dangerous Night of Television" on Saturday. On the bright side, my SO can get sex again on Friday nights. He will be very happy. Damn it!

04:27 pm [Link]	The BigBang fics are up, and I haven't read a one. I just have not had the time. My job has been phenomenally busy , since about May, and there does not seem to be any signs of relief in the near future. Also, I had to participate in two family weddings, plus various sundry events connected to these nuptials. I have had very little relaxation, unless I took a sick day to do so. Also,my online time is very limited, so I can't even comment on the fics that I do get to read. However, I am planning on a beach trip in September, come hell or high water. On the bright side, SGA is back tonight. And, I have delved into the Torchwood and Dr. Who fandoms. I watched the last few eps of Dr. Who on SCIFI (love that Donna and Ten is nerdily precious), but I cannot seem to catch Torchwood. I know that it was airing on the BBC earlier in the year, but I can't seem to find it. Oh, well, if I read enough fics, I may break down and order the DVD sets. For some reason, Ianto appeals to me greatly. Current Location: home Current Mood: tired Current Music: none (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

11:31 am [Link]	SGA fandom questions I have a couple of questions for everyone. Firstly, is something going on with Wraitbait? I have checked it a couple of times since yesterday, and there have been no new updates since 6/10. I have seen no news,on the flists, of tech difficulties, so I thought maybe there have just no been updates as the show continues hiatus. Or, that most of our lovely fic writers are gearing up for the numerous challenges taking places this summer. If you have any info, please let me know so that I can stop checking it every five minutes. LOL. Also, I know that our beloved show returns in July, but where are the promos on SciFi?????? I have seen ads for Eureka, as it returns next month, but nothing for SGA. Have I just missed it? Current Location: home Current Mood: hot (4 comments \| Leave a comment)

07:34 am [Link]	When Fandoms Collide So, last night, around 9:05 p.m., I am front and center in front of the flat screen, when I yell rather loudly, " Major Lorne!!!!" My SO looks at me and asks who the hell is Major Lorne and where is Sammy and Dean. I said, "He is on Atlantis". My other says, "Where's Rodney?". I have him trained so well. Then, after I saw what occurred next, I wanted to know if Lorne lost his neurotransmitter and where the hell was the Daedelus. Yeah, July cannot get here quickly enough. As for last night's ep, I thought it was awesome, totally making up for the last episode. And, we only have one more ep for the season. I will so totally cry next week, dammit.

06:04 pm [Link]	Introduction to newbies This post is a little late, but then that seems to be an unfortunate quality of mine. I thought I would introduce myself to any new friends that I picked up this week. Here goes: I am single but in a long term committed relationship. I am a case manager for mentally disabled children and adults. Basically, I love my clients, but hate the paperwok associated with the job. My current fandoms are SGA, SPN, and QAF, but I do dabble in CSI and House. I love action movies, especially SciFi, and sports, football and NASCAR. I don't post regularly (usually don't think that I have anything of interest other than fandom to discuss), but I do comment on fic and posts that catch my eye. Also, the comments are usually a day late, as I usually am only on LJ in small intervals throughout the day. So have patience with me, as it might take me a while to catch up.

12:37 pm [Link]	Supernatural returned with a bang last night. It was a great ep, full of hilarity and scary thrills. Just the way I like' em. Seems like most of my flist felt the same way. I am taking a rare day off from work. I enjoyed a delicious brunch with my cousin ( ingested way too many calories, I might add) this morning, and I plan to do some shopping this evening. The significant other is attending an arena football game tonight, so I don't have to entertain him. So, I will be doing nothing but browsing in LJ in my jammies. Good times!

07:32 am [Link]	Jared Padalecki All you SPN and J2 fans may already know this, but I just found out last night. Apparently, Jared Padalecki is in negotiations to star in the remake of "Friday the 13th". He will play an investigator at good old Camp Crystal Lake. From what I gather, this will be a remake of the first movie in the series, but the writers plan to insert Jason into the mix, rather than just have him jump out of the water at the end. Yeah, I know it's a slasher movie, but as a child of the 80's, this is kinda exciting to me. Also, the Friday series started the whole slasher phenomenon, in my opinion. Shooting is set to start later this month, so Jared will be spending his summer vacation with the Voorhees family. Hope he fares better than he did in House of Wax. LOL.
