This will be rather random, just because. Every time an email arrives in my inbox, I get totally panicked. Reason is, I sent an email application to a screendesign job I really really want. So wish me luck. Pleeeeaaaaaaase.

My whole sorta almost jobless situation is making me not only cranky, but is stiffling my creativity. Which I hate. I should really post when I have my mind on the topic instead of doing it like this.

I've been meaning to rec a few SGA fics I liked. I did rec 2 the other day, but here's some more I read recently and really liked a lot.

Recs:
Linguistics by

stillane
Which wins with this line alone: When John wants something hidden, it’s never there to begin with. And seriously, the whole thing is like this poetic and hinting.

Bell Curve or Ladies Night at the Boom boom Room by

rageprufrock
Not just because the title rocks, but because it just is such a fun ride. And it is huge-ass long.

The One And Only Way Rodney Would Actually Let John by

raqs
It's sort of pwp and extremely real. And hilarious. At leat I thought so.

Cartography by Touch by

rageprufrock This is a wonderful story. About John and rape. I loved it... I just like how she slowly shows you what's realyl going on. But ti's Pru...so it can't really be anythign less than stellar. Please keep in mind that all those recs are slash... and might even be NC-17. And now to some meaningless thoughts about TV-shows. Atlantis!!! I miss you!! I will ahve to recycle you soon.

Veronica Mars

Well..you don't except me to remember a title like that, right? But alas, I just wanna say one thing. Welcome back Veronica Mars!!! First ep in quite some time I really and truly enjoyed. I can't actually believe Jackie was in on it all. And I thought there was a bit too much ribbing from Veronica towards Weevil and especially Logan. After the third joke I felt like...ok...not funny anymore.

Smnallville

Aside from the fact that I liked Martha, liked the fact that Clark was able to grieve in the end and really...of course, liked the Luthor stuff (even though I was like..been there..done that), the A-plot bugged the hell out of me. and not just because it seemed like a remake of Birds of Prey.

But seriously... did chloe have to call her mild mannered reporter? Did she have to wear glasses??? Are they really trying to tell us that all clark does in his life comes from other peopls ideas? Is he that stupid and totally uncreative that all the stuff he does needs to have been shown to him by other people? WTF. Seriously, first Aquaman and now this Angel of Vengeance chic. Lame.

Lost

I just wanna say that I realyl want to make an icon of charlie in the dipers. I expect loads of peeps did it already, but I don't care!

I've also watched ALL of Battlestar Galactica this weekend. I had a huge headache afterwards, but it was so worth it! *grins*

I loooove Starbuck!! And Apollo/Starbuck. And Helo, and Sharon, and the chief and I won't go on.. but whoootooo.... continuety rocks. the only thing missing is that fun of stargate atlantis. It is more an angst than a fun show. Which is cool...it would suck if they were similar. I love scifi. Not healthy.

My mum is constantly gushing about Farscape. My mum and

shruuf. You are bad people. I mean..you want me to get stuff done, right?

also remember to participate in

svmadelyn's Valentine Secret.

Also, this icon I'm using is all the crative energy I could muster. In that case..it is a waricon.. war against non-creativity or something.

Also, happy belated birthday to

violetsmiles,

shattered and

serafina20. I'm sorry I missed it. I hope you all had great birthdays. Happy birthday

sarahjane12!!! I hope you have an awesome day.

I hope you get good news in your mail soon *crosses fingers*

Thank you!
Right now it's just...buy cheap vicodin and stuff like that.

Good luck with the job! I've got everything crossed and double crossed for you.

I'm so excited you're getting into BSG, it's such an awesome show. The writing and visuals blow me away a little more each week. I'm a Tyrol/Helo gal myself but I'm not adverse to a bit of Starbuck/Apollo either ;)

OMG! Your Mum likes Farscape? Can I just officially say your Mum owns at life. Seriously. I can't believe you've not seen it, it's one of my fav shows, ever! ......S1 will be joing the rest of your goodies which I plan to send next Wednesday..... because seriously you have to watch this show.

*goes off to check out recs*

Thank you... I hope it works. Thoguh i'd prefer the same job..only in London or NYC. Can't have everything! *grumbles*

And I knew I'd like it. I've been into SF and Fantasy stuff as long as I can remember. It's like breathing..seriously. And yes. the writing for bsg rocks... especially since it seems very obvious that...similar to lost, they have this long arc and know where they are going..which just blows me! Big time! Tyrol/Helo? That does make sense. *g* Although I also liked starbuck/helo in the last ep. Loads of fun.

And my mum gave me those genes. they cannot come from my Dad. rofl. My mum also got me into hp. Tricked me into it actually... all her fault..she knew there woudl be rain!!!! Seriously..she rules.,.she has every frakin Fantasy and scifi novel i can think of. Good stuff. I need to visit and steal some books.

And actually... she sent the first season to me..I think..I need to check the quality. I just want to watch it with

shruuf and

kia_ora. Cos Kate is a biiig fan.

btw..do you watch Veronica Mars? and if not... you want me to send you the first season? Cos wooooow.

and the recs are aweeeesome!!!! Basically what I read this week, cos my memory is so scetchy.

My shippiness is all over the place in BSG. Tyrol/Helo are my number one pairing but to be honest, I kinda ship them all with one another and I'm definitely with you on Helo/Starbuck - especially in some early S2 eps.

Let me know what your Farscape S1 quality is like, I can always send you S2 instead.

I do watch VM, I'm about 3 or 4 episodes behind though. I loved S1 but haven't managed to get into S2 as much....I still very much enjoy it though. I think I need to watch it in batches (like Lost) instead of week by week.

Tyrol/Helo sorta comes up omly after they come back from Caprica. But yeah...it didn't jump me, but I can definately see somethign there. But yes you can pair off pretty much everyone.

And cool!! I will check my Farscape files later. I'm trying to sort my filemess. it is rather painful.

And agreed... s2 of VM wasn't so gripping. I hope they can regain their footing soon.

*sending good vibes for the job!*

BSG totally rocks! I'm waiting for the second season to start over here.

Thanks hon.. I hope they invite me for in interview...that would be too good.

I am up to date with all the eps. And yes...it totally rocks. I love the continuety and the complexity of it.

Thank you for the birthday wishes!! :)

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed BSG!! I remember watching all of the first season in a couple days last year - it's so good!

you are very welcome :)

And yes... so you haven't watched the sewcond season yet?

I started watching S1 during the fall, when they were airing the first part of season 2, so I missed some of those episode (I coudn't get torrents for them), so I had to read a bunch of recaps. I was able to watch episode 8-10, I think, when they aired. Now that they're airing the second part of season 2, I've been able to watch those episodes.

So I'm all up to date, but there are some episode I haven't seen.

I need to take some time soon and find some icons for it.

And which eps did you miss, I could try help you.

Yes, icons are in order! :)

I think I missed episodes 1 through 7. Maybe 8 as well. I know I've definitely seen everything from 9 up until now.

oh, a job! exciting! good luck, and let me know what happens :)

yay, FARSCAPE! your mum rocks!

I hope I get an answer soon... at least an invitation to an interview would be very nice.

And we need to watch farscape soon. I'm itching to watch it. you know the mum... she rocks.

when did you send it? where are they, somewhere near your place or somehwere else?

yes! i also got my amazon parcel today, x files!
i know, she does!

Last night...it was an email application. they don't do any other. it's the agency which made the rui camilo site. if you remember. So they probably are very picky. I hope I'm good enough and hat my application didn't blow. I truly suck at writing covering letters.

YAY x-files!! that is awesome. We have so much to watch in videonights and stuff.

*g*

ooh! aah! good luck, i keep my fingers crossed!

yesyesyes!

Thanks, hon!

BSG Squee!

Ohhhh.... you watched BSG? You liked? You like the Apollo and the Starbuck? Is there any hope you will make pretty pretty things of them? I so hope so because your icons are little masterpieces. I'm so glad you're enjoying it because I'm in the 'spread the love' phase of new love with that show.

Hope you get the job! Good luck!

I've read Linguistics before, it is utterly totally awesome! :)

Good luck with the job! Hope you get it! :)
