A Pair of Teal Deers

I am alive! Okay, so I’ve been stuck on dial-up for the last two weeks, which sucks (mostly because I really wanted to stream Doctor Who episodes), got sick a week ago (am better now!), and spent way too much of the intervening time playing Oblivion, now that my brother actually has a computer that will run it ( Read more... )

lol twilight, bsg, public, meta, rhaella writes too much

I literally went ":D" when I saw your Twilight cut. Oh, I love you Rhaella. I truly truly do.

I don't read a lot of Twilight fic, besides a couple of authors who I know are guaranteed awesome. bluesuzanne never fails to amaze me. Laurent, Alice, and Jasper. My friend Pink also has a lot of Jasper uncanon pairing fic that is also amazing and wonderful. Here and here.

Hehehe. <3

"Not a lot" is fine by me. This is a fandom I... have no desire to be pulled into. XD Good to know that there's something out there, though. I shall look into them. <3

And I didn’t think it could get any worse, but then she described the sun as a “setting orb.”

XDDDD

I left a lot out of my post, actually. Too much to discuss.

Actually, I thought of you when first thinking about what I wanted to say! Okay, so really, I was thinking about how much Meyer failed at first person, compared to what truly can be done with it, and then thought about Sarah Monette and how effectively she was able to use it even to depict insanity (and Felix was despicable, but oh, so wonderful at the same time <3), and Melusine made me think of you. :3

The fact that Sarah Monette and not SMeyer Hate-Ons made you think of me is incredibly gratifying. <3

Thank you for reinforcing the urge to burn every copy of that horrible series whenever I see it.

And I saw the cam version, I don't see how upgrading it from "I can pretend this is a shitty 70's film" won't do much for it, except that I'll be able to see the shitty sparkling, when I really just want to hit Edward in the mouth and break all his teeth.

And this is coming from a Rob Pattinson fan XD It's a shame that Cedric was only in one HP book T_T

It is a wonderful urge! And I like RPattz as well, so yeah. D:

Did you watch BSG yet? :D

you've caught me in a rambling, proctrastinating mood, sorry ever_obsessed January 17 2009, 22:56:22 UTC
because the way they killed the absolute intensity was upsetting
I got pissy every time it cut to commercial.

Every. Single. Time.

My SO went stomping out to clean out the fridge after the second one because she said my couch flailing at each commercial was driving her crazy.

but the way Leoben said, “I was wrong about everything,”
I have an acknowledged Leoben bias but, damn, I loved him so much last night and how they cut between scenes.

It was like, BAM, BITCHES, TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THIS SHOW'S AWESOME.

And the whole time I'm running after yelling at the top of my lungs to slow down long enough for me to process what I'm seeing.

And word to your comments on absurdism, because, whoa, I am so glad I have you on my flist, like, really really. I was so overwhelmed by the fact that they really carried out the entire idea of cyclical time and going OMGWTF? that I still can't process my brainy thoughts and you already have for me so I can actually, like, poke at this stuff.

A PLANET OF CYLONS.YES ( ... )

On one hand, I think it may be too simple for the epic of BSG ( ... )

Nothing wrong with rambling. :D Hey, when Battlestar is involves, it’s more than welcome.

I’ll admit that I came to the show because Baltar and Six were just so pretty (before he stopped shaving last season, at least), but it’s just… so much more awesome than that. The ethics, the metaphysics, the theology, the poli sci… even the character studies. Especially the character studies. Because Baltar is one of the most fascinatingly human characters I’ve ever come across. Kara as well, in other ways. Romo Lampkin's comments about studying the worst of humanity to understand what we're capable of... so fitting.

And see, my immediate thought is that the human were the ones bombing the Cylon planet (if it was a Cylon planet).Not stupid at all. Just as you said… considering the cyclical nature of everything, and how the roles are constantly shifting back and forth (and like the huge Kara/Leoben shipper I am, I’ll point to her holding him prisoner, and then vice versa), I can definitely see the humans being on the offensive in the last go ( ... )

Espero que te encuentres mejor.

a mi me gusta mucho la serie Doctor Who, pero me queda dos temporadas que ver.

¿se sabe quién es el último cylon?

No sé, pero Leoben tiene su encanto, resulta actractivo, y eso es malo.

NO voy a ver ni leer nada sobre Meyer, no me gusta.

He visto solamente una temporada (la segunda) de Doctor Who. Y… secciónes de la tercera también (quería ver el Maestro xD). Me encanta pero necesito más.

¿Ya has mirado el nuevo episodo de BSG? Porque… salvo que sea un otro engaño, ahora debemos saber quién es la última.

también tienes que ver la primera, ¿has tratado bajarte o descargarte Doctor who?.

Yo estoy esperando que empiecen a emitir la tercera temporada, pues tengo el problema que no puedeo descargar nada en mi ordenaro pues mi Internet es lento.

No, no he podido ver BSG, pues tengo que esperar en lo emitan en la televisión.

(leí en un articulos en Internet, que la tercera temporada de Torchwood lo van emitir casi simultaneamente Europa y Estados unidos creo que el verano)

Eso es mi problemo también. No tengo más el Internet rápido, entonces... no puedo descargar los episodios (salvo que vaya a la biblioteca, pero aún así necesito esperar mucho tiempo). Una amiga me dio la segunda temporada, porque me gustaba el Doctor de Tennant (pero ahora me gusta lo de Eccleston también, entonces...). Deseo que la hubiera mirada más temprano, porque ahora no puedo obtenir más. D:

La nueva temporada de BSG comenzó magníficamente. <3 Espero que puedas mirarlo pronto. :3
