contemplating ck's last
and I can't help but think... 'how to top a greater than 30 seconds dog bone?' - and I just... can't. There's no way to top the greater than thirty second dog bone! Oh. I know! I'll work on a tranny! heh.
Yes! Farscape 3.2 arrived in my mailbox this morning, I am watching ...Different Destinations makin' like an army, I got a postcard from Scotland and I think I may have finally found a bone that it will take my dog longer than 30 seconds to chew through!
And, I have a fic recc...
Stitch in Time by SETI_fan ::PGish:: Wow. This is pretty cool. Wormholes and time travel -- gee, what a fic idea! (insert sarcastic smirk). However, this well used idea and turned around just a bit to make it interesting. Won't give anything away, but it is a story that reads well. Pacing is excellent, and hot damn! it's got Erpisms! Really, check it out. Part one is linked above, the rest below. Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6.
Was a bust, so I'm home fiddling today when I should be studying! Bad bbq!
farscape friday fics
I'm now addicted to the fic site Farscape Friday! We broke down and followed our own link and read the first substantial amount of Farscape Fanfic in a long while! It's seductive really. You think, "hey, well, they're only 100 word drabbles. It can't take that long!" And then you get sucked in! Gah!
The challenge for last Friday was to describe, in 100 words or less, first memories. Farscape Friday is hosted at Live Journal, which can be a bit persnickity, seeming to go down with alarming frequency, but it's well worth the trouble. Virtually anyone can use it, and the sense of community that goes along with the stories is warm and inviting.
At any rate, I fell for it and got sucked under, and loved every minute of it. Apathocles kinda creeped me out with an Untitled drabble, Kernzelda made me think too much with She Remembers, Thassalia enchanted with with a divergence from ...Different Destinations in Leave Your Mark. Oh, and hidden inside the challenge post is Vocation, found only because we wanted to hug the stuffin's out of Anna for creating this community. In Vocation, Astrogirl gives us a lovely bit on the first memories of an oft forgotten character. Hey, I just know one of you gorgeous authors can help this one out with a LJ account. *g*
Heroes for Ghosts, by Apathy Surfing for interesting things and stumbled on this nice piece of work. Now I have to look around and see if there's anything more to the story. Nice disturbing!fic work from a new to bbq author. Plus, live journal goodness over there on the left.
Okay, no reccs, but decided that wouldn't stop me from posting a bunch of silly stuff we've accumulated over the past couple (few) weeks, and just plain say "Hi." So, you know, "Hi!"
Ally's Fantasy Harem
A meme stolen from Smallville journals. Roughly following the rules given: Your Fantasy Harem can contain six (and only six) famous people. Reuse anyone others have chosen, but you can only pick six. No splitting the difference; half of this person, half of that and so forth. We're already pushin' the envelope with cloning.
I think my choices got divided into brains and brawn. Thankfully sexy goodness prevails throughout.
1. Ben Browder: Chemistry oozing from every pore, a presence that leaps off the screen and wraps itself around you. You feel dizzy and more than a little bit jealous of the damned floor he's walking on! A voice to die for, a body to make you weak in the knees. All that plus brains, personality, sense of humor. Egad! Good thing this guy is taken, but I'll take him too. For my #1 in my fantasy harem.
2. Michael Rosenbaum: See above. That voice, mm, to die for. And the sheer sexiness of the man. My goodness! Hey, If I didn't feel like I was cheating, I'd have him in the #1 spot so fast it'd make Ben's head spin. I miss my weekly Ben fix!
3. Vincent D'Onofrio: Hunky beast, of late, from one of those endless Law and Order spin offs. At 6'4", a veritible banquet of a man. The extent of his talent is likely immeasurable and is such that he can disappear into a role so throughly that you'd never know it was him. Unless you were shamefully hung up on him. *cough*
4. Bruce Willis: Variety is the spice of life. Plus, he doesn't talk much.
5. Hugh Jackman: Good lord. No fully defined reasoning here, just a lot of pre-verbal appreciative noises. But really. Just let him hang out and play, no shirt or shoes required. That's all I ask.
6. Anthony Simcoe: 'Cause everybody needs a laugh along with a good romp. Plus: tall, good looking, sexy voice, intelligent, bright blue eyes that crinkle just so when he laughs. Oh yeah. Strap a guitar on and we're good to go.
dante's inferno test
The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell! Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
There is a certain honesty in the commitment to either total goodness, or total badness. Heaven, or the depths of Hell, I say! As levels of badness go, we are a total creampuff. We need to commit, damn it! Or is that... we need to be committed?
Also, for our amusement, a rough psychological diagnosis'
Schizoid People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. They genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."
and just for the cream in our coffee:
Schizotypal Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way (shhhh!). They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow.
Well, I get the over elaborate. But, difficult to follow? Come, come now. We must object to that. Hm. How do they do that?
School is progressing well, wish I didn't have so many boring classes relative to interesting ones. Well, in honesty there's only one that's so boring it makes me want to scream. Right there. In the middle of class. Or at the very least, only show up as much as it takes to pass. Damned perfectionist drive. poo.
Heh heh heh. I am going to spend the day re-reading UFO. Yes, that's right. Re-reading. Despite the fact it is a WIP, I am going to read it because the chapters are self-contained. It's not like we're left with a WTF ending, waiting with baited breath to know if the ju-ju-bees really are John and Aeryn. Anyway, check it out.
Angel had been hitting the blog circuit for the little snippets. Sunshiner has an excellent bit called "Blood Lust"; Fialka wrote something just ... just .. wonderful, probably nearly 2 weeks ago now. Someone commented to me that they like my stories because of the little details. Yeah, I can the same about both of these little bits of fiction. And, I'm going to mention this next one, 'cause I really REALLY want Cranky to finish it: it's an epilogue of a sort to Sugar Plum Dances that she posted during Amnesty Week on Kansas.
