Well, Bugger In A Handbasket
So, Haunted Trolley is over. Finally.
NaNoWriMo, however, has just begun. I've resolved this year to actually do the word-count recommended each day, regardless of how crap I'm feeling. It's actually kind of therapeutic, and I've already met the count for today. I needed to be at 3,333 words, and I've hit 3,445 as of this post. I'll probably keep working on it through-out the day, if I have time, because it never hurts to be a bit ahead.
However, I've also got a couple more twilight100 drabbles I need to get out before the challenge ends at 8PM, and I really need to start on my un-love-you claim. I have a couple ideas, but they've yet to become a reality. I'm planning on watching some more Bablyon 5 later today, so hopefully that'll provide the swift kick in the pants I need to get one finished.
Also: I'm nearly done season 3! Two more episodes left, and then it's on to season 4. There are no words to describe how impressed I am with this TV show. For me, it was like discovering Star Trek all over again, except I'm actually at an age now where I can appreciate it.
Sure, some episodes are better than others, but the entire series has made me laugh, cry, flail, shout and squee like few things before. Andreas as G'Kar was probably one of the best casting choices ever made -- his voice is just perfect in every way, and every speech his given he delivers in such a way that you wish everyone spoke like that all the time.
JMS can sometimes get a little bit carried away with the speeches, but AK completely makes it seem natural, and beautiful. I was totally balling my eyes out during the "we will be free speech". Just absolute, heart-wrenching love for G'Kar, and complete agony in sympathy for him as we watched his world fall to pieces around him.
Which is totally Londo's fault. But I can't bring myself to hate Londo. Londo makes every single wrong choice in the book, and yet he's still sympathetic. That is some fucking brilliant writing.
Delenn I love everything about. I love her self-righteousness, and her absolutely adorable side when she's teasing Sheridan. I love her hair -- I swear, she gets prettier and prettier every single episode. I never thought I'd want a big bone sticking out of the back of my head, but I totally do now. It's sexy as hell.
Lennier I love, even if he doesn't do much. To me, it feels like that's much more there to explore, which is why most of my fanfic plot bunnies are Lennier-centric. Well, that and I love Minbari culture. It's completely ridiculous, all of their long, convoluted ceremonies, but I love them just the same.
Speaking of love: Neroon. Just love. Complete and utter love. Love. Love. Love. Why is there not more of him?!
Marcus reminds me of Aragon too much for me to take him very seriously. But he cracks me up.
Susan is God. But then again, we knew that.
Sheridan is... kind of cute. There. I said it.
And I can't wait for Vir to get what he wants. I've never anyone as much as I loved him when he answered Morden's question.
But everything just WORKS so well together. Complete and utter love. I can't wait for Babylon 5 love month to roll around again, so I can squee at those who understand. XD
Oh, and I have to finish my flipping UCAS application. *hate*
