I finally finished rewatching my season 1 DVDs of Fringe. Goddamn, this show. I love it so much; it's the only show on currently where I literally count down the days until it's on again. It's definitely my favorite right now, even though I still love Castle, but it's not, like, suspense and shit. And The Office is making me :| a lot, which I kind of expected, tbh. Glee is...okay? But it's mostly one of those shows I watch and enjoy at the time, then immediately forget about afterward. *hands* Oh, and I watched the first two episodes of FlashForward. Eh? I'm pretty much only watching for Joseph Fiennes (OM NOM NOM OMG), even though it weirds me out to hear him with an American accent.

I'm in a weird spot, writing-wise, as to whether or not I should get started on this Secret Santa fic I signed up for, or finish up the Bookstore sequel. Can I write two fairly involved fics in two months? Probably not with my schedule right now. Decisions, decisions. It also doesn't help that Jon is obviously prompting us to write moar fic.

I didn't get into it last season. I wanted to get into "Fringe" but I just couldn't back then. I've only watched like 3 episodes though, so who knows, if I actually sat down and gave it a chance, I could discover something to love about it. Of course, that would mean finding the time to actually do that lol Which, between law school apps and job hunting is a very small window of time :P I know what you mean about the Office, because I'm having that reaction too. I just -- I don't know. Was it always this awkward or did the show just lose sight of what actually made it funny.

I think you should definitely give it another try! It's not like Lost, where it just throws more and more questions at you until your brain bleeds; the writers are very good at answering most questions before bringing up new ones. I think there's really good focus with this show.

Honestly, The Office jumped the shark last season with The Michael Scott Paper Company. The entire time that storyline was going on, I kept thinking, "Where in the hell are they going with this? It doesn't make sense, and you can't have The Office without Michael being the boss of the office." And I think that's when I realized that they were running out of ideas. As bad as it sounds, I don't really like the fact that Pam's pregnant--bringing babies/kids into the plot means the writers are desperate. I wish they had saved the baby until next season, at least, so that there's not a wedding AND a baby to deal with in one season. The show's just kind of boring now, and I CRINGE over this whole Jim and Michael being co-managers thing. Ugh, I miss the old days.

Moar fic or maybe a bandom version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas".

N'awwwww, that is an ADORABLE idea. :D

:D
Hmmm. This means I should actually look into that, eh?

1. FRINGE. Ahem. I have watched the first 4 episodes, I AM SOLD.

2. Oh man, oh man, Joseph Fiennes is aging AWESOMELY. I am on the fence about Flashforward as well, though I like a lot of the people in it. Commodore Norrington!!!

In conclusion, Joshua Jackson is my homeboy.

1. IT JUST GETS BETTER, TRUST ME. Although I would skip the episode where people get their brains melted by the internet. No, really.

2. OMG!! THAT'S WHO THAT IS! I thought that guy looked familiar...lol the only British person on the cast who got to keep their accent. :P

I want Josh Jackson in my pants. The end.

I am in the same writing place. Right now I'm thinking, "Psh, two whole months is more than enough time to write a fic," but I know that I'm going to be that person in the middle of November frantically trying to cobble something together.

Because you THINK you have enough time! And days start slipping away, and the next you know it's THANKSGIVING and you've got, like, 200 words of chatfic in a Google doc.

I find it hard to believe, somehow, that your chatfics are just 200 words long. But then I have a lot of faith in you and your wee plotbunnies.

...FINE, I ACTUALLY HAVE ALMOST 1000 WORDS OF CHATFIC IN A GOOGLE DOC. But I refuse to be that transparent. :P

I KNEW IT!! NICE TRY, MISSY!!!
*laughs and laughs*

You could be art glass - opaque in places, water-clear in others, beautiful in all kinds of light.

*blushes*

You are the loveliest. ♥

I calls it like I sees it. ♥

It sounds too early for pom pom rustling, but as always the offer stands.

200 words of chatfic for a COMPLETELY UNRELATED STORY.

I came up with an idea for my Secret Santa fic the other day ... and then realized that it was WAY TOO BIG to ever finish in 2 months. /o\ The good news, I guess, is that I have a great idea for an original fic waiting for me when I'm done with all my fanfic obligations? Bad news, I still have no idea what to do about the exchange. And I'm still not done with vampire!Patrick. Sigh.

That's how I was with my original idea for my

bandom_hc fic. It would've been EPIC and probably ended up being at least 50k, if not longer.

I watched the second episode of FlashForward today and I thought it was really dull. At this point I am only watching it for Jack Davenport. I'm gonna stick with it till Dom shows up but I think it is going to have to get a LOT more interesting to make me care about it for more than the eye candy.

While I want the Bookstore sequel like BURNING, I think you should get started on the exchange fic. That way you can avoid the 'omg where did the time go??' panic in mid November, lol. (I am DETERMINED not to leave mine till the last minute this year. No really, I am!)

Okay, thank you for clearing that up, re: Dom, because I kept yelling "WHERE THE FUCK IS DOM?" at my TV a lot. /o\ Also, I keep thinking Penny is in the wrong universe, LOL.

You are a wise person. And yet, I miss my bookstore 'verse. :(

Random fact! Random fact! Ashley Edward Miller wrote for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and now he's writing for S2 of Fringe!

Also, I'm in serious like with Pacey Witter's girlfriend IRL.

Modern. Family. It's on at the same time as Glee, which is a problem for me, but it is SO FREAKING FUNNY.

When you say Pacey Witter's girlfriend, are you talking Fringe or Katie Holmes, LOL?

No. I said "IRL!" I meant Diane Kruger. <333

.....HE'S DATING DIANE KRUGER?? *___*

YES! THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR THREE YEARS!

SHE CALLS HIM HER BETTER HALF!

ZOMG!

OMG, I want to THROW UP, THAT IS SO PRECIOUS AHHHHHH.

\o/

You should lend me your Fringe DVDs! Or I'll come and watch them on your cooouuuch.

COME TO MY HOUSE FOR MY BIRTHDAY. I mean, um.

I am going to my uncle's for Thanksgiving in upstate New Yooooork, want to come rescue me? HE LIVES 7 MILES FROM CANADA.

YOU SECRETLY HATE ME, DON'T FRONT. ;______;

I WAS CONSIDERING IT UNTIL I CHECKED MY CALENDAR AND "ALEESHA'S BIRTHDAY" WAS THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIIIIVING ;___;

As it turns out, Fringe is on Hulu. Any episodes in particular you'd recommend?

All of them!...except the one called "The No-Brainer." Avoid that one like the plague.

No "No-Brainer". Check. :D

I think you should do the Secret Santa fic first, so then you might be able to make Bookstore III our Christmas present? :D Although earlier is good too.

Hee, that's a good call! I would just write my ass off in December, lol. <3
