Year in Review 2014

2015-01-01T19:55:41Z

I actually had a pretty great 2014. I finally got off my butt and applied to Grad School (well this was a starting in 2013 thing but mostly 2014) and I got in! I moved. I made some great new friends. I'm working toward a degree I'm really passionate about and looking forward to the future. I hope 2015 is even better.

Maybe I'll actually write something!

2012-08-30T04:29:39Z

On a whim I signed up for cottoncandy_bingo in the hopes of writing some good fluff for it. Mostly just want to write about the most minor of characters and canon het.

"Big things have Small Beginnings"

2012-06-09T04:39:22Z

So I saw Prometheus and I have thoughts, largely of a positive nature.

( One (semi-spoilery) problem )

On to things of substance.

Hunger Games!

2012-03-24T03:42:38Z

So I saw it. And I have thoughts. Overall I really liked it.

( Spoilers have more details. )

Even if it wasn't perfect I still liked it a lot and will probably see it a few more times. Can't wait until the sequel, still hoping for Kristen Bell Johanna and Armie Hammer Finnick.

Leap Day!

2012-03-01T03:51:08Z

I just wanted a post on the 29th. Because unusual dates have always appealed to me.

I spent the past five days in California. So naturally I have returned just in time for snow.

Things I have done today instead of anything productive:

Read through a bunch of my old entries (oh, college me you had a lot of dumb opinions!)
Read tumblr
Watched TV (though I do not consider REVENGE! a waste of my time.
Played flash games
Hung around on Twitter

I didn't even manage to read a page of a book today, though I did write some fic that I was too lazy to type up tonight!

Random Fic Musings

2011-11-04T03:33:27Z

Revenge is going to be huge for Yuletide this year right? Because as of last night we had actual canon queers and in such a way that absolutely sets up possibilities for more. And the possibility of threesomes! So lots of people are going to write Revenge.( sorta not even spoilery )

Personally I would like some Pan Am fic. If I was writing fic just now I would definitely write a long fic for Pan Am where Maggie starts to school Ted on his privilege and then eventually he'd be less horrible and sometime when he didn't even know she was around he would school someone else on how they are being a sexist jerk and Maggie would hear and then they'd eventually date. For Yuletide I feel like asking for a story with Laura from Pan Am discovering she is a big lesbian. It is honestly my fondest wish.

Winter is Coming

2010-09-13T03:50:57Z

I am so excited for Game of Thrones. I've been very happy with the casting and I trust HBO to make good product. They just put up a new trailer and a production clip and it just makes me more excited. I hope this show turns out as amazing as it should be!

Some thoughts on River Tam

2010-09-08T05:02:00Z

I've been rewatching Firefly this summer and I just got to "Objects in Space" and it gave me thoughts so I thought I'd share them.

Joss Whedon (quite rightly) gets criticized for his obsession with crazy girls. And River certainly fits this mold. But I love her. For most of the run she is merely crazy, she doesn't have any agency (it's been taken from her by the Alliance) and it doesn't seem like she'll ever be able to get it back. "Objects in Space" changes this, it shows the beginning of a real arc for River that we never got on TV and only got a little bit in the movie.

( A long Ramble on )

That probably didn't make much sense since it is the middle of the night but it needed to come out of my head.

Dreamwidth

2010-09-07T15:24:20Z

I got this journal way back at the beginning of Dreamwidth but haven't really ever used it. It is very nice though and I think I ought to make more of an effort. Of course I rarely post on my LJ ever so I don't suspect I'll use it all that often but stranger things have happened.
