Also: I'm really pretty sure that all this Carnivale watching will have completely ruined the season opener of SPN for me. Magnificently epic and brilliant and painfully involving show with strong good-against-evil-religious-type themes vs. enjoyable but basically stupid CW show with strong good-against-evil-religious-type themes? Yeah, I can tell you who's going to come out on top there.
It'll probably be like that time I tried to watch season 1 of Criminal Minds after mainlining two seasons of The Wire. I swear, my eyes just about rolled right out of my head. It was *laughable*. And I like CM! (Though I stopped watching it after they seem to start revelling in the gruesome-ness a bit too much for much liking.)
Heh heh heh, maybe I can just picture Brother Justin smiting the FUCK out of Dean, that would be entertaining. Man, Supernatural WISHES it could come up with anything as creepy as Brother Justin. He is just... whoa. Disturbing, disturbing man.
Though I don't think *anything* could be as disturbing as that shot of Dora Mae in the window at the end of Babylon. Holy fuck that was bad. Damn. That will stay with me a long, long time. |

I've been trying to watch Carnivale because it has to go back to the library on Thursday but I don't know if I'm going to get through it, meh. It's *such* an incredibly good show but it's not exactly light viewing. I'm *definitely* not one of those people who only wants la la la happy endings and fluffy stuff and I totally adore powerful, in-your-face shows/movies, but. BUT. I am in a really, really bad way at the moment, health-wise and mind-wise. And when I like something as much as I like Carnivale, I tend to get *very* caught up in it, which, with something as full-on as this, is quite draining. I sort of just don't have the emotional energy to keep going with it. Which sucks, bah!
And HAHAHA, I still haven't watched Supernatural. New ep tomorrow (the one with young Mary, yay!) so I'm going to have to suck it up by then. Wah, don't wanna! |

Today is all about Big Decisions. Should I hang the washing out? Answer: yes, because it is sunny right now. But it was raining this morning, so it's entirely possible I will have to rush out and bring it all in at any moment.
Should I go back to bed? This is trickier. I stayed up way too late last night and I feel like fucking zombie this morning. But if I go back to bed, the dogs will want to go back to bed too. And two of them are pretty wet, and no one wants wet dogs on the bed. The other alternative is to curl up in my tv viewing chair but a) it might be a bit cold in the living room and b) my hip is already very sore and sleeping in that chair will make it way, way worse.
Also I am soooo tired I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep. I am very much like a toddler in that once I get overly-tired I just cannot sleep. Gross.
Aaaand my connection just dropped out. My dial-up connection is so tenuous that it almost always drops out when I get a phone call. That was my mother. Wonderful. Now I feel EVEN BETTER.
God I'm boring. Yes, it's THAT KIND OF DAY. Maybe I'll go off and cry or something. Commence wallowing in self-pity: NOW! :rolls eyes: What could be more attractive? |

Total and utter GIP. Look at Olivia! She is FIERCE! She is my tv girlfriend x 100! A hundred hundred!
It's probably time to go to bed when you aren't able to type 'hundred' without typo-ing it exactly the same way all three times. Oh dear. Seriously, Stupidest Day Ever.
I think the only productive thing I did all day was weed one of the vegie beds. Which was kind of an achievement because it was totally out of control. It's the only bed with anything in it and everything in it is chook'n'duck greens. Which is good, because those are a constant requirement but they are nothing I like. All those weirdy bitter greens I can't stand. So I weeded! And then put some lettuce seedlings in, because I like those.
And, after all the weeding, I discovered that some of the poppies in that bed I thought were long dead were actually flowering under all the crap. Pretty!
However: I should stop pulling nettles out with my bare hands, because OW. Though, interestingly, the more you touch nettles, the less they hurt you.
Wow, I'm so tired I feel like I'm drunk. Zzzzz, time for sleep. |

I'm in a weird mood today. The Hugely Unpleasant and Stressful Saga that has been going on for a few months now is actually finally over. Huh. It was supposed to be finished at the end of October but things were resolved very, very abruptly yesterday. Which is good because now I can attempt to move on, but is bad because I cannot believe how totally and unnecessarily horrible and nasty and spiteful the other person involved was. Oh well. Live and learn, I guess. I was *extremely* upset yesterday but today I'm just... meh. I don't know.
Man, I love Fringe. I have no idea why I've fallen quite so hard for it, but I totally have. Weird fact: the only characters whose names I can remember are Olivia 'Awesome' Dunham and Walter. In my head, the others are Pacey, Alvarez, Lieutenant 'Sex' Daniels, Brad, and Boring Massive Dynamic Woman. And I remember Astrid's name, but poor Astrid could barely even be called a character, she has so little to do.
And I can't make myself watch SPN. Have you ever had the experience where you find the fans of a particular character so annoying you end up hating the character? Or is that just me? That's the main reason I dislike Dean so much: I can't stand the way the vast majority of his fanbase go on about him. Without them, I'd probably be a lot more 'eh'.
Point is: I haven't watched *any* of the new season yet and I already have a pretty intense hate-on for Castiel. SIGH. What is wrong with me? I don't know. |

Ugh, I had to deal with a dead kangaroo this morning. It had been skittled *right* outside my fence where I walk the dogs. Which meant, unless I wanted to have to remove the dogs from the path of logging trucks every morning, it had to be moved. LOVELY. So I dragged it across the road and threw it over the fence. Which was no small thing because a) even a smallish dead kangaroo like that is damn heavy and b) all its guts were hanging out so they not only TOUCHED ME at one point, they got caught on the fence when I threw it over. Yeah. I'm sure you can imagine how delightful that was. Even I, who am relatively blase about dead things, had to choke back a gag at that. Intestines! HANGING ON THE BARBED WIRE FENCE!
I need to catch up on my shows today. I have 2 eps of SPN, one of NCIS (Agent Afloat! Woo!) and last night's Fringe. Awesome! |

RP vent:
Ugh. I don't understand why the mod didn't tell me sooner about the complaints. She has been hearing some complaints about me. She just told me tonight! WTF. It's about my grammar, puncuation and I guess my sentences in the paragraphs are too close together. So I guess I'll have run anything I do in Microsoft Word.
Which kind of sucks. It’ll slow down the rping a little.
But seriously! Effing tell me when there are complaints against me. Why wait? |

Boy, that's quite the headache I've got. One of those being-stabbed-in-the-eye ones, fun. Anyway. Taken some aspirin so it'll be gone soon, I hope.
New Supernatural tomorrow, YAY! Was the season opener a double episode? Because it's listed as going for two hours. Could be just they're showing two eps, which is even better. New Ruby! She's what I'm most excited about, honestly. Those Winchester guys? Eh, whatever. *g* It just better not freaking rain, is all. The aerial has decided to AGAIN get temperamental whenever it rains. Which was why I missed the season opener of NCIS last week, GRRRRR.
And ten axed 90210, sadface. I wasn't really watching it, but it was kind of fun, meh. It seemed to have some pretty good femslash potential, too. Naomi/Silver, I thought.
Daylight savings started today STAB STAB HATE. I was doing so well with my getting up earlier program! I was up somewhere between 5.30 and 6.30 every morning. And now, BAH, I have to start all over again. |

| "I HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR FIC" WTF??? |
[Sep. 29th, 2008|12:14 am] |
I have some issues with your fic- is the leading sentence phrase of the comment on a replay on my fic on live journal. Okay.... poster goes on to say it's a good premise but...
Now I don't classify the post as a flame at all, but it was rather mean spirited in wording, which i politely took issue with. Also pointing out that if A person wanted to spend the time to point out HOW a story was cannonically wrong, ectera with such wording as " All you had to do was watch the first three episodes of..." then they should take the time to suggest how they would fix the "issues" the had with the fic.
And now its, obvious I have never been flammed, because he or she had been taking pains to be very polite and why should they take the time, when it was something I had done dilebrately. (The discrebancy actually wasn't done dilberately, I HAD MISSED those episodes, but after the intial comment, I felt disniclined to rewrite a 9,000+ word story to make it cannonical, and instead decided to label it slightly AU.) Especially in Dr. Who which is a fandom to which IMHO cannon can be lossely applied as it is as wobbley wobbley as Time itself in that verse.
This is not the first time, I have had a lest then pleasent experiance with the Whoverse fans. Am I overreacting or are Who fans often less then welcoming to new-blood in the fandom?
BTW, for those so inclined, the comments can be found here.
I have to decide, how and if I am going to respond to the responce. It obviously ISN"T a flame and I don't want it to be, but still I feel a little like I have to say something. But them I am twitchy lately... |
