Just watched Moon. It was amazing. I've heard mixed things about it, too, so I wasn't super excited, but it's been sitting on my hard drive for like six months and I had nothing else to watch. It's so good. I don't want to say too much, because I don't want to give it away, but I absolutely loved it. Sam Rockwell is fantastic. It makes me actually

I LOVE Moon. I saw it last year when it was out in a ridiculously short theatre release here and I remember the first reaction I had was wanting to say thank you to someone, anyone, for the fact that intelligent science fiction still existed and could be as fantastic as this. And I don't think they had a huge budget and I love that it didn't need one. I loved that actual miniatures were used in the outside scenes and they worked so well! It can still be done! That moment when Gerty's 'face' changed to sad and he patted Sam on the shoulder had me in tears. I am so glad that you liked it.
I haven't seen Source Code yet but I want to.
I thought Season 4 was starting to go through the motions about mid way through (remember the first few episodes? robot Sheldon and all that? It seems SO long ago, lol) but definitely picked up of late. I think the girls are outdoing the boys, Amy especially. There was one moment when Priya and Leonard were quoting Shakespeare to one another and it was adorable and I had a total geek moment...but apart from that I have found her a bit so-so.
I mean actually physically forcing myself to sit down and write is excruciatingly hard.
Ahh, I know what you mean. It's hard for me right now because it's cold! Typing when it's cold is hard. There was snow on the mountain this morning (probably all melted now) and I wish my camera was working so I could take a picture.

The reason I like Priya is because it allows the show to let Leonard be. Leonard is always better when he is just being, and is not actively angsting. But I agree that the girls are generally outdoing the boys lately. Or rather, the addition of Sheldon + girls is outdoing just boys. I like it better this way though, with story lines about both sexes together. I used to have real issues with how Penny was basically ostracized from the men's world, as dorky as it was supposed to be. But then again, I'm a raging feminist.
Tangent: I just rewatched the proposal episode, and they say Bernadette's full name!! When are we going to get Penny's last name, huh?
You're so much better at making yourself write than me, you seem to turn out new fic every month or two. I wish I could finish fanfic, but it never works out. I have one, a penny/sheldon fic I've been sitting on for almost a YEAR, and I just can't find it in me to finish it!
There was snow on the mountain this morning It's so strange, I keep forgetting you're just starting winter, I'm just getting used to being warm again.

+1 to everything you said. And the thing about Penny's last name feels like a joke that's gone on way too long, which is sad.
I seem to be able to write better when I have a deadline, like help_japan, or bigbangbigbang (which I have open in another window, but I'm doing that thing where I just edit the same sentence twenty seven times instead of just writing). It's different having to write to a schedule instead of relying on those (rare) bursts of inspiration.

I also find that having a writing partner reaallyyyy helps me. When you hit a wall you can just whine about it until you get new material, lol. I usually write with one of my friends, but she's going through finals lately, so we haven't been able to get together lately. Which means I've written absolutely nothing. I think that's a crutch I shouldn't have to use though, there might not always be someone around to help me write.
/rambling, sorry! I was mostly just talking to myself there. :)
