Here I Am

So new episodes of Greek began airing last night. It's sitting on my dvr to be watched when I have a free moment not taken up by insanity. I also got a present from Amazon today - it didn't say who sent it - but it was Supernatural Season 4. Maybe it's a sign that I'm supposed to finish the flipping season already. I don't know what my deal has been with finishing up the season. Yeah, part of it is that I don't want my boys at odds with one another, but it's not like I don't know that I'll end up at least liking (probably loving) the episodes. At the very least, I could finally catch up on tons of fic that is based on the whole season. And really, sometimes a girl needs her fic priorities.

I got a few Borders gift cards too and since this is me, I went and spent it right away. And it was perfect timing as they had seasons of Felicity AND Alias on sale, so I was able to finish up my collections of both of those shows. I'm especially excited to get seasons 3 and 4 of Felicity, especially three as it's one of my favorites. And I was the girl who wanted Felicity to get BOTH boys. I loved her with Ben, but I also loved her with Noel as they both complemented her in different ways.

As for Alias, I picked up the last two seasons. Not my favorites, but a girl never tires of Sydney kicking ass and Spy!Daddy doing whatever necessary. Still think that Will shouldn't have disappeared...even though it doesn't seem to have hurt Bradley Cooper's career at all.

I'm now slowly catching up on Burn Notice. I *finally* finished season two and am into season three. I know I've mentioned it before, but it needs repeating: I love Michael/Fi. As a team, I love Michael, Fi, and Sam, and as much as Fi & Sam bicker, you just know they'd have each others backs regardless of Michael at this point. But really, I just love Fi. I think she's the one woman on the planet who can pull off a fanny pack and look cool and tough. And Michael just needs to suck it up and go with it.

I finished reading Generation Kill last week. Good book that made me want to pull out my dvds. And now I'm reading One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick. I really like the very different views of everything. Wright came at it as a reporter and Fick was in the heart of these battles with real lives on the line. I'm about halfway through and I think what I'm enjoying most is the way Fick explains all these life philosophies that were instilled him. Not just blow shit up, but ways of viewing the world.

There's also a chance I'm a bit biased toward marines, as crazy as they are. My brother was a marine and he served in the first gulf war.

So I'm trying really hard to adhere to a budget lately. Mostly out of necessity with house things coming up and such. But I cheated and bought myself two birthday gifts. One was a specialized mouse pad of Stitch that says "TommyGirl" because I'm a big loser. The other was season two of Digging for the Truth on dvd, only further proving that I'm nerd. But I loved that show. And not just because Josh was hot. It was interesting and funny (not on purpose - but whoever did the planning of their journeys really should've been fired) and yes, Josh is very hot.

Is it normal to play Wii Rockband and walk away with the strong urge to play drums? Because now I want a drum set and nobody but me thinks this is a good idea.

Dear All My Children,

Please make Annie go away. I hate her. Oh, I hate her in a way I haven't hated a soap character since Livvie on Port Charles. And at least Livvie was interesting. Annie is just dull and annoying.

No love,

Tommygirl

I just watched the pilot of Fringe. You know, I didn't think I could love Josh Jackson more than I do as Pacey, but his character on this is just hot, sarcastic, and a genius! And did I mention hot? With the scruff and awesomeness?

The pilot was a bit freaky at parts. The beginning was a little slow, but once it got going it was really interesting. Though JJ really does love to make his lead female characters suffer, doesn't he?

I wonder if I've broken my no-writing spell with the little Iron Man ficlet. I hardly claim brilliance, but just being able to string together a few sentences is a miracle. I really hope it continues.

Title: A Momentary Thing
Author: Tommygirl/storydivagirl
Fandom: Lost, Jack/Sawyer
Written For: nickeyb for the Jack/Sawyer/Kate Ficathon with Charlie, whiskey, forgiveness included.
A/N: Both Jack and Sawyer were being quite impossible to write for awhile there and I must thank ladybug218 for helping me create something readable. It's set up through the last episode that aired (so all but the finale) so there will be spoilers if you're not caught up. Hopefully it's enjoyable and feedback is always appreciated.

( Jack often lived in absolutes prior to Oceanic Flight 815... )
