A bunch of random things

Apr 23, 2011 21:35

My grandma's in the hospital for Easter.  She had a hip replacement on Tuesday; apparently something went wrong, and they had to redo the whole thing over again yesterday.  And on Thursday she had a blood transfusion because her blood pressure dropped and... blech.

She's doing OK today, but we'll be up there all day tomorrow.  My husband is an awesome sport, because I know my family drives him nuts, and he's effectively said, "Why yes, I will spend a whole day in a tiny hospital room with your mother and your grandparents if that's what you need."

And I really, really do because... I fucking hate hospitals, and my mother drives me crazy.  Going alone would suck balls.

NOW I HAVE A B5 FANDOM QUESTION.

I'm working on my no_shadows_fall  Spring Challenge story (*gasp*return to B5 fic OMG) and, er, I'm having a memory lapse.

Mid-season 3... round 'bout Point of No Return... Sheridan gives a date somewhere in there.  I think when he's reading the Martial Law order.  He gives an April date, yes?  Because if that's right, I am off and running on this story.

In the Tron fandom arena, I have a new one that I'll put up soon.  Probably not tonight yet, and obviously not tomorrow.  Maybe Monday morning or something.  And another one that's... half done?  And then today while I was on the treadmill, my brain said, "Here is a Tron fic idea that probably would not be porn YAAAAY!" and, like, decorated it in pink fuzzies and stuff and handed it to me on a silver platter.

Im'ma try my hand at playing in Clu's head. >:)  ...OK, no, seriously.  I've believed for, oh, practically forever that Clu was surprised to get Sam Flynn on the Grid.  I think he paged Alan because he wanted Alan there because Alan is Tron's User and... I swear, there's a hint of disappointment in his face/tone/attitude when he first meets Sam.  Something that says, "WTF, this kid was not part of my plan."  (Presumably because Clu didn't know Sam existed, but whatever.)  So I'm going to try to poke at Clu, and see what he can tell me about why he wanted Alan on the Grid, and what he thought he could gain from it, and then I'll try to make him sit down, play nice and tell me a story that I can make into a fic.

(This fic idea has been churning in my brain along with the lyrics to the Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - but that could be because I watched House this morning and they always play that song on there.  IDK.)

Oh, and Today I took a shower at the gym.  It was glorious.  And this statement sounds lame-sauce until I tell you the rest of the story:

Our shower has been broken since Wednesday.  This has resulted in me taking baths and my husband showering at the gym and at friends' houses the latter half of this week.  The shower is broken because it needs a replacement part for a 60-year-old Kohler faucet that nobody fucking makes or carries anymore, so we have to go to a specialty store here in town that specializes in parts for old houses like ours.  AND THEY PICKED THIS WEEK TO CLOSE THE STORE AND GO ON VACATION.

Anyway.  Shower at the gym.  Glorious.  And tomorrow, before we go to the hospital, we'll go to my mother's and shower at her house.  And that will be glorious, too.

And finally, you called it, ufgator1977 .  CBS already canned CHAOS.  Goddammit.  If my intel (read: my ability to keep up with Google News) is correct, an episode with Bruce was filmed but never aired.  This makes me *POKE DISNEY*... seriously, get the wheels churning on that Tron 3 already.  And make sure it has lots of Alan.  And Tron.  Lots and lots and lots.  Plzthx. 

b5, real life, me and my muse, musings, tron
