Rabbits. David Lynch.

I'm... not sure I have an excuse for having watched all 8 episodes of this.

Thanks to this glorious thing called the Interwebz, it has been possible for me to watch New Moon.

( New Moon - and one way you could have turned it into the greatest thing *ever!*  )

Answers for the meme seakisst was kind enough to give me:

This made me laugh. I especially like the "their souls make his tummy happy!" bit.

Thoughts on Dexter's second season, with a dash of Six Feet Under. Spoilers here.

( Dexter, noooo! )

Drive-by posting:

+ Have watched season 3 of Skins: Oh, Emily! Oh, Naomi! Oh, Effy! Oh, all you *kids!* is all I'm really capable of commuting right now about this series. Am feeling the Skins love, and will most certainly check out fic for the Naomily pairing! Skins!  

+ The massively long list of Yuletide nominated fandoms is up! And a lot of my fandoms are on it! Oh man, can't wait for December! :D

+ And for laughs - we all know Keanu Reeves might not be best actor in the world, but did you also know that he's, like, immortal?

I've been watching TV shows like whoa these last couple of days.  

Dexter: The only thing I have to say is omg, omg *flails* - how come I've only given this show a watch first *now*? Loved it. I really, really enjoyed the first season of this. Here's crossing fingers for the greatness to continue in season 2. And since Michael C. Hall had me remembering how brilliant Six Feet Under was I've started watching that as well.  

Glee: is brainless fun. It sure knows how to put songs in your head, though. I for one have fallen victim to I Say A Little Prayer, as performed by Aretha Franklin. I'll be tuning in for the next episode. 

Merlin: King Giles! And Katie McGrath is really unneccessarily distracting with all her pretty. Uh... they really weren't lying about the slashy subtext in this series, were they? Between Arthur and Merlin being bound-by-fate (boy)friends and Morgana and Gwen Fingersmithing scenes up, I'm entertained enough to hang around. Also, seriously - Katie. McGrath. Superman has kryptonite - I have Irish brunettes. *coughElaineCassidycough*

Vampire Diaries: I gave this a try up to episode 4. I'm... dropping it, for now. It's like Buffy, Twilight and aspects of True Blood got together and had some mishappen kid. I think I'll sacrifice it in favour of something else. For example Sarah Connor Chronicles. I mean, Lena Headey in a tank-top + acting totally badass = should be enough for everyone in the world to feel satisfied.  

Beware: now it is time for me to bring out the pimp cane! If you like your music to come with a little accompanying genderfuck in the video, I have the link for you: IAMX feat. Imogen Heap with My Secret Friend. Chris Corner-as-girl is just as freaky as he of course should be, and Imogen-as-boy is gosh darnit gorgeous. Lovely song, too.

Last Sunday morning I woke, only to find my laptop dead. Dead as in 'I am not going to show any vital signs at *all* ever again' – so I‘ve used the better half of the week bemoaning its death, as well as the number of unfinished fics I was busy working that are gone.   

Here I am now, many days later, with a shiny new beast of a MacBook Pro, because who needs money anyway, right? Right?

*Own a penny I certainly do not* 

....

Soooo, the important question now.....

How do I write fic on this thing?

 

True Blood's cracktastic season finale, Beyond Here Lies Nothin'.

( Beyond Here Lies Spoilers and Such )

While I'm at it, I'd like to pimp this song from the True Blood soundtrack, the title song from episode 10, New World In My View:  
New World in My View ~ King Britt 

Other points to be made: 

Yeah, I'm not going to lie: I want this book! When is December going to come around?

It has also come to this: I've given up trying to figure out my own brain. For good. Stumbling across this Television Tropes article has actually made me want to read fic from *this* fandom quite badly... (it's a Japanese eroge game, for Chrissake! But what's written in that article just gives me all *kinds* of most agreeable ideas. I sincerely doubt that there *is* any fic, though!)

Watched this week's episode of True Blood,  Frenzy.

( Also known as the episode where my favourite vampire was immediately replaced with a new one! )

What have I been busy with the last two weeks?

Watching all available episodes of True Blood, is what.

( Thoughts and implicit spoilers  )

And a fandom meme to go along with the post, seeing as I felt like it: 

Pick three fandoms. Answer the following questions for each:

( Fandoms: True Blood - Buffy - Utena )   

And on to something completely different: This. Song. Is. Eating. My. BRAAIN! like some devilish malicious earworm of pure evil! I just want to take this song by the scruff and throw it out of my *head*!! I hope to inflict the pain on someone else, because... that's how I roll.

Easy. The answer would have to be le Fanu's femme fatale, Mircalla Karnstein of "Carmilla" fame:  

'Are you afraid, dearest?'

'I should be very much if I fancied there was any real danger of my being attacked as those poor people were.'

'You are afraid to die?'

'Yes, everyone is.'

'But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together. Girls are caterpillars while they live in the world, to be finally butterflies when the summer comes; but in the meantime there are grubs and larvae, don't you see - each with their propensities, necessities and structure.'

Gay vampire caterpillars everywhere!  

............ I still miss New York. Woe is me. :(

In other news: over at cidercupcakes, an event called Home Team is highlighting everyone's favorite female fictional characters; you can vote until July 27th. I recommend you check it out, whether it's to nominate your own, to support another nomination (you can do so by replying to a nomination; all replies to nominations are counted as support votes for nominations, so don't bother reply to anything unless you're trying to show support for a nom. You cannot make a negative vote). If you do want to nominate someone, please check first to make sure the character hasn't already been nominated--characters should only be nominated once, although you can nominate as many unique characters as you'd like. More detailed rules are of course listed at her LJ entry.
 
Browse the threads for your own favorites. :)

Michael Jackson is dead (1958-2009). One of the biggest names ever in music history. 
Damn.

So, this: because who can't remember him turning into a huge werecat and dancing with zombies?

Also, meme taken from bulmafox :

Dear S,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I threw up in your sock drawer in your apartment and I saw you hit on my father. I'm sure you're cowardly enough to understand I'm allergic to your earlobes. I'm returning the pictures to you, but I'll keep my virginty as a memory. You should also know that I always wanted to break your legs and I have a passionate interest for mice.

Go milk a cow,

HyenaGal


This above sort of reminded me of *this*: www.youtube.com/watch

"You make me touch your hands for stupid reasons!! You accidentally say you  hugged me!!"
