I've really been neglecting my poor LJ. ::pets:: So, what
have I been up to these past few months? Well, I've taken on more
fandoms to lurk in than I can really handle, for one thing. CSI, SGA,
Numb3rs...but I really can't help myself.
I'm going to a free screening of RENT on Monday evening and I can walk from work, which should be fun. Yay for free. Yay for RENT. And speaking of RENT, loved the recent HP/RENT crossover ficlet by ofscarletwoman, New York City, Center of the Universe [PG-13]. Who wouldn't love Colin Creevey/Mark Cohen?
copperbadge wrote Rome-fic! Not rated, not titled, but if you have been keeping up with as graphic a show as Rome, any fic you read will probably be tame by comparison. The ficlet is here and from the point-of-view of one Titus Pullo. Ray Stevenson really shines as Pullo, and they had better bring everyone back (well, with the exception of Julius Caeser, obviously) for the next season.
The writers in the SGA fandom are really top-notch. If you're smart enough to try and tackle those characters, you probably have the talent to do it well. But oh, astolat's McKay/Sheppard, Time in a Bottle [explicit] is so incredible, I was struck speechless after reading it. Masterful is all I can say of that work of art. If that doesn't win you over to that pairing, nothing will.
SGA fanart? ::dies:: I mean manips are all well and good, but Sheppard #9 by crysothemis is priceless. As is Sheppard #10 and OMG, Zelenka! I'm always in awe of the great artists, and she uses only pencils!
Not only that, but commodoresexual has started writing SGA! Must keep up with Burnt, more McKay/Sheppard with Zelenka/ MC.
Numb3rs! I hold so much love for this show. Peter MacNicol is so wonderfully quirky, and David Krumholtz and Rob Morrow are so great to watch. Those two make perfect brothers. I love the Eppes family dynamic. And am I the only person who thinks someone should write post-Convergence Charlie/Marshall Penfield? Okay, maybe I am. I'm certainly not brave enough to take that on.
Last week my aunt shot her scene for House, M.D. She only gets a line or two, but hopefully those precious lines won't end up on the cutting room floor. ::crosses fingers:: She did have a bit of juicy news to tell me. Going to the table reading for the episode (and I find it immensely amusing that a show that is supposed to take place in NJ is actually filmed in the middle of Los Angeles), she said that Chase is cute as a button, Foreman and Cameron are very attractive, and Robert Sean Leonard is such a cutie. The two who really blew her away were Cuddy (she said she turned around and WHAM, this 'flippin' drop-dead gorgeous' woman is in front of her and looking a million times better than she looks on TV) and, not surprisingly, Dr. Gregory House himself. She said Hugh Laurie is, and I quote, 'soooo HOT'. She said it was a lot of fun, but a lot of hard work. Not surprising, considering it's one of the best shows on television.
CSI! Yes, I have succumbed to the wonder that is CSI. I haven't watched a #1 rated show in ages, and luckily this one is in syndication so I can watch at least two hours of it everyday. I used to avoid network TV like the plague, but there are a few gems on network TV nowadays. It is a fun show to watch and I love all the characters, though I hold a bit more love for Grissom, Hodges, and Ecklie because I'm weird like that.
I really should try to post more often so each post doesn't end up being a page long. ::sigh::
