1. I finished the scifibigbang #1. Yes. Two weeks later than the deadline, but I finished it. Argh. Now I need to finish #2 in like three days maximum but in this one I needed to figure plot out, in that one I don't. Which means it'll take a lot less. And my record was 10000 words in one day which means I'll try to re-do it. And then I can go doing my ( Read more... )

I really want to see 'Men that stare at Goats'. I'm hoping to see that one or the new Coen brothers film next weekend. I think it might too late for Doctor Parnassuss.

Here it was out some three weeks ago (Parnassus I mean) but I didn't manage to get to see it. It's still somewhere though, I think I might be able to. I hope.

The Men Who Stare At Goats is HILARIOUS. I loved it so much, and it wasn't just pointless crack which is probably what sold the whole thing. And argh, we don't get the Coen brothers for a while though. :(

Yay for finishing one bigbang - you are awesome! (By the way, how much have you already worked on your crossover exchange fic? I'm just asking because I'm starting to get super-nervous about it ... But there's still enough time, right? ;))

Thanks for the recs!

Ha, in my head I've worked on it since I got the assignment, in practice... ha. I didn't start it yet. But when I have stuff written in my head (plot-wise) I usually manage to be pretty fast so I'm not fretting yet. And there's totally enough time!! (Also, mine doesn't really have much of a plot tbh, but at least I know beginning, middle and ending. ;) )

And thanks! Though I should have organized my time better. I needneedneed to finish #2 in two days. I so do.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm feeling a bit better now. ;) Ha - mine doesn't have a lot of plot, either (but uhm - my fics never do *coughs and hides*).

Ha, we can do it!! ;) I can't wait to read yours. <3

LOL, mine either have one and they're novels or they don't and it takes me ages to get what I want to do with them. I don't know which one is better. ;)

Omg, I'm dying to see Men Who Stare at Goats but I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to see it. I'm gonna be busy with school from now until mid-December and I'll probably miss it in theatres. =( I hope I manage to squeeze it in at some point!

In other news, ZOMG MISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Awww I hope you manage to see it! Because it really is awesome. Maybe you could catch it at some second-viewing thing? Or at least here there are cinemas which show movies like two months after they're out at half the price *crosses fingers*

MISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG ILOVEHIMSFM.

Nnnngh, I have things to do which so aren't going to get done now, because you have just posted a very beautiful Misha Collins picture which I must now stare at! There are no words for the awesomeness of that man. In 2 weeks time I am meeting him (and having my picture taken with him. omg) and I actually think I might die.

I was meant to see The men who stare ate goats two days ago, but I didn't get to. I am sad face!

I'm meeting him in April and have the picture too and I CAN'T WAIT DAMMIT, WHY IS IT TWO WEEKS FOR YOU. ;)

But the fact that I'm doing a con in April is the only reason I'm not crying my eyes out because people were there and I wasn't, lol. God, that picture. I stared at it for twenty minutes, I just couldn't stop. Nnnnnngh indeed.

Aw, that sucks! It's totally awesome, I hope you get to see it soon!

Misha, Misha, Misha - looking better than ever. Didn't know that was still possible.

Fun thing for SPN people: there's a story where the protagonist is one guy who used to work in an office where there's a guy named Misha and one named Jimmy. Jimmy owns a farting pillow. Er.

I kind of cracked up at this, I did. XD

because on the cover you had Cheetah, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall

Totally random: I love Humphrey Bogart! Casablanca! Trench coat!

next week I'll just have the pedagogy class one day and NOT ON FRIDAY!

No one should have pedagogy class on a Friday, that's a fact.

I LOL-ed. So. Fucking. Much. And I felt bad because that story was actually very very depressing.

OMG HI! I LOVE BOGART TOO AND CASABLANCA WAS MY FAVORITE MOVIE UNTIL I SAW BLADE RUNNER. Now it's the second, but still. And I LOVE Bogart, to pieces. <3333

THAT. I swear. I hate that I have that on FRIDAY AT 9.30 AM. It kills my SPN squee, dammit. But it's just one semester, thankfully.

I'm starting to think that we are frighteningly alike.

I'm starting to think the same thing too. Not that it isn't necessarily a bad thing, I guess it just means we both have awesome taste. ;)
