I say life update but really, there is very little new to report. Evie has turned from a little girl that behaves nicely into a fully-fledged independant Person who just happens to throw a screaming fit if she doesn't get what she wants - on one hand, this is a nightmare but on the other, I'm glad she has her own mind, obviously. She's a bit better than she was a month ago so that's good.

Babydaddy and work are of the same old same. Ditto: mother (halp halp, she's coming up next weekend). I am on the verge of quitting my job but need to find something part time and flexible to replace it before I go anywhere. Bleugh, boring. Moving on. *washes hands of*

Fandom is what's fun at the moment! M'ways obviously (always awesome) and my new one, Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes. It's quite rare these days that I like a show enough to delve into the forums but there you go, it can't be helped in this case. I am quite disturbed by the strength of my attraction to a racist, sexist, homophobic, slightly overweight middle-aged man. But then, good guys are boring. I like Sam Tyler - hell, I even quite like Alex Drake these days - but I'm quite happy to watch their stories once and leave it at that. I compulsively rewatch only for Gene who I have decided is the person actually in control of the whole universe.

There is possibly not a single person on my flist who still watches this show so I'll shut up now.

I am so behind on 24 that I think I'll just d/l the eps and then marathon them at the end of the series. I was sad to discover the other day that this'll be the last but not at all surprised either. Movies though, yay! Hopefully that means Jack won't die at the end? Facebook totally spoiled me for the Renee thing though I have no idea how it comes about, so I'll look forward to catching up with that.

SPN - I still have last weeks ep to watch but I'll wait for tonight's now and watch them together. Am very excited about the ending of this season!

Fuck, I am so boring these days. SIX WEEKS UNTIL DOWNLOAD, BABY! That is going to be a weekend of such ridiculous excess, it'll fill all my non-boring desires for the rest of the year. I am determined to Make This So. Do not ask how, for I shall plead the fifth, but just trust that I'll be behaving exactly like a 31 year old mother shouldn't. :D!

OK, I need to go get my Gene-Genie fix. And then possibly start this fic that wrote itself in my head the other night. And reply to tags, hell yeah.

'Six degrees of Heaven Bacon.'


BWHAHAHAHAHA!



Awesome.

So, for the last two weeks I've been idly going, 'hey, isn't SPN supposed to be back early September?' and then not following up on it. Until today, when I discovered it was back last week and promptly went and downloaded it.

And then watched it, which is the proper order of things.

( SPN, 5x01 )

Why am I not surprised that SPN is the thing to get me to make a post again? Idek. Whatever; is it still on Thursday nights? For example, tonight? If so, hurrah!

SPN.

Right.

Yeah.

Is it Thursday yet?

( OK, a bit more coherence now I can think straight )

I'm going to talk about the preview now, briefly - I'll whitetext for anyone who doesn't want to know.

( Preview whitetext )

I am looking forward to seeing where all this goes. Yes.

Omfg SPN. Like, seriously.

Omfg.

SPN FANFIC READERS! I need your help. What's that fic that everyone always raves about, from Dean's POV when he's a kid and a bunch of it is when they're staying at Bobby's. I can only remember random details, like when he calls Sam, 'Sammy baby' to wind him up and something to do with...being under the porch? I think that's right.

Anyway, it's awesome - I know that much because what I do remember overwhelmingly is the atmosphere of it. I can still feel that, even if I don't remember the details of the story itself. Has anyone got a link to it/knows the one I'm on about? I need to read it again and I also heard that she wrote one from Sam's POV too - need to read that also!

Thanks!

Ugh. There is flailing about SPN all over my flist and I can't read any of it because I haven't seen the ep yet. I have it, I just have to wait until mother has gone to bed before I can watch it. I WANT TO WATCH IT NOW!

I am ill. Yay two days off work! But BOO, ill. Killer sore throat and head, no energy, asleep all the time etc. It would have to happen on the one weekend a month I work. The weekend that massively ups my paycheck and hours worked. *sigh* Can't be helped. I went in this morning (nearly drove off the road on the way there) and could hardly stand up. So, went home. This is the fourth time I've been ill in the last four weeks. I SUCK! On the upside, I'm using it as a good time to give up smoking.

OK, nothing else going on. I have nothing to do and am bored. Bleugh. Perhaps should eat something.

I'd forgotten what a drag transferring stuff on to a new computer is. Not that I'm taking much because I don't want Jonna all filled up with crap (we'll see how long that lasts) but iTunes for a start - I dont even know how to do that, actually. I haven't changed a computer for six years now I come to think about it, I have no idea how to deal with all of this. AND I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET! And a Blu-Ray DVD drive etc etc. Jonna is the new love of my life. :)

SPN peeps on my flist who have Show wallpapers etc - where'd you all get them from? I want a different one from my old computer and something totally badass (i.e beautiful, angsty and fairly minimalistic usually works) Is there an LJ comm somewhere for such things?

I have homework to due tomorrow and haven't done it. This is becoming a theme recently and I sort of can't bring myself to care. Hmm. Worrying. Or not.

Anyhoo. Ugh. Might have to go to bed. Yuk.

Ahhh Eurovision. I wish I cared.

All hail to Ebay. I just snagged myself S1 of Supernatural for a tenner. Score! And I even decided to brave the scares and start watching that season again - am pleased to report that so far, after three episodes, I feel none of the terror that plagued me the first time. Also score! I am also reminded of how absolutely amazing the lighting is in S1. I love the...I don't know what it's called...the way everything is kind of steely, y'know what I mean? Also, Sam's hair isn't annoying me so much this time round and it's nice to see Sam and Dean's relationship again with the benefit of experience.

The other day I had a whole rant planned out in my head about the recent fandom wank and people's reactions to Dean's treatment of women. Alas, I am too tired to actually post it but maybe I will tomorrow. It got me quite worked up at the time.

It is not quite eight and I am about to go to bed. What an exciting life I do lead. To all the new friends I have acquired today through the back room thingy, hello! I will probably post an 'about me' thing sometime over the next few days so that there is some context for my ramblings. I promise I will try and be concise (ha! Not sure I've ever been concise in my life, but I'll try).

Yes, bed. Tonight I sleep the sleep of the righteousdead.
