Commenting while watching the ep. 
 
( Skins 4, ep 2: Emily )

Pentagon begins tackling "don't ask, don't tell"

What people have completely failed to see is that Americans should never, never, ever have allowed queer ones to join their military in the first place. We are simply too precious and pure a breed to waste, you see ;) :

Attention! There's been committed absolutely fabulous fanvids - here's the link to the Festivids Masterlist where all the greatness can be found!

I'm personally reccing these three fandom vids, because my initial reactions after watching them were, in order: 1) Holy shit! That was shiny! and 2) I am definitely going to check the movie and Profit out! The LoTS vid had me enthralled - I suspect Kahlan's pretty face and pretty hair played a factor in it, too. ;) 

- Kamikaze Girls (movie)
- Legend of the Seeker
- Profit

And although it doesn't have anything to do with this, *this* vid was also too good not to rec as well:

- 7 Years Of Buffy Under 4 Minutes

Damn you, Blake Lively, for presenting me with *this* picture of yourself, which is undiluted perv fodder for my brain! Damn you!!!

( Ya won't believe the studliness beneath this cut! Seriously! )

Oh, MSN, you're not blind to the grand gayness of Bleighton either? 

A million times ♥ at this!

Went to see the new Sherlock Holmes - it was awesome! 

( Four observations... or something )

Obviously, not everyone's been too pleased about the insinuated homoerotic relationship between Watson and Holmes:

You're not serious, are you, Andrea Plunket? Seriously?!

Now I want somebody to commit an unashamedly slashy fanvid with this ill-chosen teeny bop song for them.  No, really. 

Some random: 

+ Hell to the Y.E.A.H., I want to see this movie: Runaways trailer! 
+ Hall of Antlers... only a tad freaky. 
+ Mexico City and DC legalize gay marriage! 

Is there a better way to spend the days before Christmas making your way through season 3 and 4 of Dexter?

( Season 3. Season 4. Spoilers. )  

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:

( Meme answers )

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.
