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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] raqs
It's sort of pwp and extremely real. And hilarious. At leat I thought so.

Cartography by Touch by [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] shruuf. You are bad people. I mean..you want me to get stuff done, right?

also remember to participate in [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] violetsmiles, [livejournal.com profile] shattered and [livejournal.com profile] serafina20. I'm sorry I missed it. I hope you all had great birthdays. Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] sarahjane12!!! I hope you have an awesome day.

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 [livejournal.com profile] shruuf and [livejournal.com profile] 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.
