Here I Am

Last night was the two hour premiere of Heroes, and thank lordy my show is back and seems to have continued in the much better category of the last few episodes of season two (since most of season two was not that impressive to me).

( Spoilers ahoy for Heroes... )

**

Not much else to report. Yesterday, my sinuses were killing me and work was crazy, so when I got home, I vegged out.

More coherent reviews of my shows will come tomorrow. In the meantime, regarding heroes ( MAJOR SPOILERS!!! )

**

I have an idea for my undermistletoe story! Woo-hoo! I was beginning to panic as it's due on December 10th. And then today I wrote more in my Dean as a Whitelighter world. why am I always working on things that aren't due in the near future? what's wrong with my brain?

Can those evil, greedy studios please just give the writers what they deserve already? I'd really love it if I could keep Chuck and even Heroes (as it is steadily improving).

( First there was Chuck and my mad love for him... )

Without spoilers: There needs to be Chuck/Bryce fic. I think I found my slash for this fandom after all. But I still want Ellie/Captain Awesome more. C'mon people, write me some Ellie/Captain Awesome schmoop! I would totally become your slave!


( After Chuck, came Heroes...SPOILERS AHOY!!! )

**

I guess I should go do some work and then maybe write a bit.

Ciao darlings!

So it's been a whole month and now I am once again battling the sinus plague. I planned to go into work a few hours late, but still felt like death and unable to breathe, so I decided to stay home all day. Slept a lot, watched more episodes of Numb3rs, and then my sister and I watched 28 Weeks Later. It was okay, but nowhere near as good as the first one.

Happiest of birthdays to wendy! You are a bright light in fandom and I'm so glad that I was able to meet you (and hug you in person) at wincon this year. ::lots of huggles::

**

Mini-Nano starts on Thursday and I'm aiming for 500 words a day, which is completely doable for me. My main problem is not lack of words, but rather getting started/procrastinating. So I'm hoping that I can use mini-nano to get my ass in gear and finish some of the numerous projects I have kicking it in my brain and half-started on my computer.

**

I'm thinking of writing my own Ellie/Captain Awesome fic. I can't decide if I want to focus on how they got together or just domestic schmoop of some sort. Have they said anything during the episodes on how those two met?

**

Speaking of Chuck, let's talk last night's episode and how this show continues to own me. ( spoilers for last night's episode... ) This show is seriously one of my happy moments during the week. Nothing comes close to my Supernatural love and there are a few other really good shows out there, but Chuck is so good.

I'm not even going to bother with an in-depth on Heroes because West continues to annoy me and I hate how Claire behaves around him. And it's just taking too long to get to anything interesting. It's one thing to need a few episodes to put a few pieces into place - like at the beginning of the first season - but this is taking too long. And frankly, I don't really care about anything that isn't Matt/Mohinder.

Sports Nights friends:

Don't forget to sign up for sn_holidays! Only one person has signed up yet and this makes me sad.

Love,

Tommygirl

NBC Monday Night television may be my new favorite thing. Well, the first two hours. Last week's pilot of Journeyman was only okay, so I haven't watched the second episode yet.

( We will begin with Chuck... )

( And after Chuck is Heroes... )

I'm hoping to get some writing done this afternoon, but i'm so far behind on my friends list and I feel terrible. I hope to rectify that situation first. Then write like a fiend. Or at least someone capable of getting words onto paper.

I've been home sick the past two days with the sinus infection from hell. Argh. Sometimes I think I should have that sinus surgery for long term relief, but I'm just not sure. Bah.

I have used some of this time resting to get my sister hooked on season one of Dexter (Oh that season finale kills me dead), and trying to get caught up on some of the stuff kicking it on my tivo.

( The Heroes finale... )

I'm almost caught up on Brothers & Sisters too, only have the finale left, but I sorta don't want to finish it because then we have to wait a whole season for more. But gah, the last one killed me dead and oh Tommy, I love you...and I just love the Walker family in all their insanity.

**

I'm being overrun by plot bunnies of doom and Steph is only encouraging this stuff. I say to her, "Stop me! Slap some sense into me! I want to genderbend Eric from Entourage!" And she responds, "That's awesome! Do it!" That was not how the conversation was supposed to go.

Then I have a question about What Is and Never Should Be: How long was Dean with the Djinn? How long was Sam looking for him? Do we know? I ask because I may be writing a story from Sam's POV for that time.

Then there is this story idea I had for Dean where he wakes up in all these alternate realities and he has to find his way out, only to end up in yet another one.

Oh, where do these weird, cracked out ideas come from? Oh yes, it's me, in the shower, suddenly getting the image of Dean Winchester in cuffed jeans and a bedazzled teeshirt as a member of a boyband and replying, "Son of a bitch."

I know we need plants and bees and pollen, but my allergies are killing me, man. KILLING ME. I think someone needs to send me Dean Winchester immediately! Sure, he might not be able to cure my problems, but he could distract me.

My sister and I continue our nerdy nature of watching anything and everything on the History channel. We watched the first half of this two hour special on Sherman's march through Georgia.

But we had to stop because it was time for Heroes and we all have priorities. In a contest of history versus Nathan Petrelli, Nathan wins.

I must warn that there may be spaming of my journal from me today. I'm pretty damn bored at work. That said, I'm also behind on journal reading/fic reading/etc...so depending on my mood, I apologize ahead of time.

Ciao darlings!

I'm not sure that I am still able to be coherent about Heroes last night, but I will give it a try.

( Many spoilers for last night's episode... )

The Tuesday Ten

Last night I had a dream about Dexter, based off the information from the season finale. But it was upsetting and gross at points so I woke up part upset and part wanting to watch the series over again. I'll have to do that soon, though I'm still behind on many other shows so not sure when that will happen. But my subconscious misses my favorite serial killer.

what a very weird thing to say.

A real post will follow a little later when I have some time, but for now, let's get right to my thoughts on last night's Heroes.

( There will be spoilers! )

**

Real post to follow in a bit...now I want to read others' reactions to last night's episode. Tonight when I get home I'll see Black Donnellys and 24! Monday night is too chock full of good stuff!

Dear God, it should be illegal that I had to be out of my house by 6:10am today to get to the gym. Seriously. It doesn't help that my trainer is evil. Hot, but evil. And so now I'm hobbling around my office all sad like.

And really, MSNBC can start covering actual news any time they want. I'm about at the point where I'm gonna throw the television across the gym floor if I see anymore on Anna Nicole Smith or Britney's shaved head. There is actual news going on. Let's talk about how Senator John McCain is turning into a hypocritical dick. I mean, he's Republican so there have always been things I disagreed with the man on, but overall, I respected him. He served his country. He didn't give into the whims of the christian right.

But now he's just. He's hired the guy who basically called him insane when he was in the primaries against Bush. He's totally become the White House's bitch because he wants the nomination. And now he's showing up at Abstinence Only rallies and swearing to overturn Roe vs. Wade when he used to be quite moderate in that area.

What a huge dick.

**

Let's focus on happier things. Television. Heroes won out again last night because I hold out hope that I will once again have Peter/Nathan touching.

( My feelings on the episode...spoilers ahoy... )

I also got caught up on Brothers & Sisters yesterday. I seriously love this show and I can never really explain why. I suffer mocking at the hands of my sister and friends for loving it, but it's good stuff. And there are cute boys. The only real downside is Rob Lowe plays a Republican Senator. He will always be Sam Seaborne, the democrat, to me. I just truly love the family dynamics at work on this show, and I'm totally a sucker for the sibling relationship so this just...so good.

**

I know there was already a community set up as a multifandom ongoing challenge for "What If", but it never seemed to get off the ground. So I was thinking of starting my own one up...with bi-weekly what if challenges that would be answered with drabbles/ficlets/stories.

Like "What if you knew you were going to die in twenty-four hours, what would you do?" And then you answer it for a character.

I have all the What If? books so I would have the prompts easily available.

Anyone interested?

Alrighty, I'm behind on the friends list, so I'm off to attempt to catch up.

Ciao darlings!
