Falling Behind, Catching Up
So I have my internetz back, at least for now. Still no tv, though. Thus YouTube has become my primary means for daily entertainment, other than my board, of course. Ok, so I do spend a lot of time rewatching my favs. Well, I fav'd them for a reason, didn' t I? Still, it leaves wanting on occasion. Often all I need is a small reminder of something, or one of their recommendations. Someone mentioned Disney songs and I ended up staying awake all night watching Thumbelina. I noticed my playlist of Halo machinima was lacking, so I dug up a some episodes of a series called "PreGame Lobby" that I'd watched before and found they had a few new episodes. I fucking love Matt. I mean, I would probably boot him if he was in my party too, but it's funny when he's annoying other people. Hehe.
What else? Um...yeah...fanvids...lots of fanvids. Trying to find every worthwhile MurakixTzuzuki or Snape/Harry vid. Hard work, that. Discovered some new music too. Must. Have. Gnarls. Barkley's. New. Album. Their singles are so catchy it's ridiculous. I don't think it's possible for them to make a bad song. Also, Stephen Lynch is made of win.
I fell really behind on my shows though. I avoided House fic the whole time cause I didn't want to get spoiled, and now I don't really feel like reading it anymore. I don't know if that means I'm burnt out on the pairing...no...I don't think that's true. It's just that the fics in the community tend towards these multi-chaptered epics that I don't really feel like following. Call me lazy, but I like my short and sweet. But anyway, I finally got ahold of the last three episodes...
Why?! Why did they have to break them again?! They spent all of season 4 recovering from the damage the Tritter thing did to their relationship, and they were great and wonderful and slashy and then...BAM. Can't say I was too broken up over Amber dying. She was in the way, but as things stand, she's more of hinderence to their relationship dead than she was alive. Don't get me wrong though. The last two epsiodes were AMAZING. Scrubs can eat it's silly little heart out. This is real TV. The drama was so well done, and I really felt for Wilson. Poor thing. House too. The only thing he cared about was not being in pain and that he didn't want Wilson to hate him. That says alot. *sigh* I hold out hope for them yet, although Season 5 promises to be a long, hard, angsty road.
...
*snicker*
Also...how many times has House died so far? I mean...for the love God...
Tried to catch up on Death Note, but the site that was hosting now requires me to download this program that basically says - "We will monitor what you search and send you spam and fuck you this is going to be your default search engine too" O.o Wtf? So much for that, then.
Finally got moving back at the Respite board. Finishing the arc that got put on hold for 3 months while I was away. The uncomfortable romance continues between Mattimeo and Tiponya. I can't wait until the next dream sequence. It will get more complicated still. I'd elaborated, but you know who you are is reading this journal...I'm not giving it away yet. Finally, I've proved that I can even turn Norse deities gay. Loki was all me, and vaguely understandable considering his history, but Thor wasn't my fault. I blame my aura of slash. It infects all.
Finally reading through that Nightrunner series I mentioned. It's decent. Lots of political intrigue and cool rogue/spy stuff, but I'm having trouble sticking with the third book. Several reasons for this: Alec and Seregil go from first kiss to established lovers between the second and third book. I love first time stuff and I felt a little deprived. My subsequent searches for fic revealed the author is one of those Nazi's that ordered it all removed for the internet. Didn't count on ZIP files though, did'ya? Yeah, she lost points for that. Secondly, I love the intimacy between them, but the teasing just makes me frustrated. I lose focus of the plot every time it happens and go off in search of smutty fics. I stop caring about what's going on outside of the two main characters and keep wondering when they're gonna get a little private time in. Yeah, I have problems.
