Feb. 1st, 2007 01:10 pmDude! Last night I dreamt that someone had their baby and this morning when I checked my mail, I'd received a message from one of my Former Colleagues telling me that she'd had her daughter this morning at 3.54 am *is a Seer omg* Man, this is so cool! The Other F-Colleagues and I will visit them next week *is excited*
Onto the fannish: I could write a real review on Heroes but somehow I just want to say AND THE PETRELLIS WIN AGAIN! If you know of the Petrellis, you'll know what it is that they won again. Incidentally, as much as I worship the Winchesters, they have a lot of to learn from the Petrellis. And speaking of our SPN boys - my 100% spoiler free policy has been shot to hell this season; I've checked out the stills for 2x14 and DUDE! Yes, that's all I have to say about it. And I'm, of course, extremely impatient for tonight's episode. Except apparently I'll have to wait till Saturday to watch it instead of Friday because we're doing an FP Slumber Party over at
greedy_dancer's with
moimoietmoi and we'll watch the episode together and it's all kinds of brilliant because watching SPN on your own isn't half great as watching it with other fangirls, but eek waiting a whole day to do so? Is gonna be torture!
The second episode of The Dresden Files didn't do anything for me. Twas weird, actually. I still have that latest Psych to watch. Plus one 'episode' of Mythbusters that I downloaded last week.
I've also been reading a lot of Batman/Superman fics the past week - thanks for the recs, I've kinda fallen in love with
jen_in_japan's stories - and thanks to
sockich I now have Justice League and Superman/Batman sitting on my HD and all of that contributed to my purchasing the DVDs of Superman Returns and Batman Begins. Easy, thy name is Mousey. It's funny because I've always thought Batman rocked better, considering he has no superpowers to speak of and thus is the real superhero, but I fell in love with the Superman films when I was a little kid - and never really got into the Batman ones - so seeing Superman Returns was truly awesome. Sandrine was right when she told me back then that I could watch the film without real fear. She's the one I trust about Superman, it's our thing. Also, my favourite Superman was always the hurty kind with the Kryptonite so I let you guess what my favourite part of the film can be ;-)

I've always thought Batman rocked better
Batman does rock better. He is crazy and fucked up and insane and has Robin(s). You can't beat that. :p

Date: 2007-02-01 10:07 pm (UTC)also, yay slumberparty! and yay SPN! i'm still spoiler-free but DUDE it's hard to resist all those cuts. it's just all everyone's talking about these days! or maybe it's not, but it's like when you go on a diet and suddenly you notice all the bakeries lol
and i haven't DLed Heroes yet, but i can guess what you're talking about. *g* The Petrellis are just a completely different breed of brothers ... do you think it would have happened to the Ws if they're been raised by their two parents, in a priviledged setting? *ponders* someone needs to write a Winchesters-as-Petrellis AU ...

Date: 2007-02-01 11:21 pm (UTC)I've only watched the first episode so far (though I'm planning on watching more tonight) but based on the name, the Petrellis are supposed to be Italian right? Because that could also make a difference since we tend to be a lot more "touchy feely" than perhaps some other cultural upbringings.

Date: 2007-02-02 11:32 am (UTC)Feels like they come from a pretty rigid family, actually, not exactly keen on display of affection or anything. More like a family who thinks appearance and decorum are the way to go, know what I mean? Strangely enough, if they'd come from a more modest background, or/and if their parents had been different, I might have thought it was one of the reasons, yes. But the way things are? I don't see it that way. I think it really is just that the brothers are a 'breed' of their own.
So, maybe the were given an Italian name to explain some of it, but I'm not sure it really explains it for real. Not with their background... Which is just how I see it, of course :-)
Having said that, no matter the reason, I'm just damn glad we were finally given brothers who know how to show love and affection towards the other in that way. It's a nice change *g*
Hope you'll enjoy the rest of the episodes as much as you might have enjoyed the first one!

Date: 2007-02-02 11:21 am (UTC)Seriously, it does look like everyone is talking about SPN and the spoilers and everything related to the boys these days. At least, that's how it goes on my flist :-)
Funnily enough, even if they'd had a different childhood, I can't really see the Winchesters being so openly affectionate towards the other. That is, not in a Petrelli way *g* Though, you're right, it would be funny to see a Winchesters-as-Petrellis AU... We'll have to talk about it this weekend!

Date: 2007-02-03 10:39 pm (UTC)As are slumber parties. I hope you had a great time.
I downloaded the first Dresden file but still haven't watched it yet. It's actually starting over here soon, I may have to wait until then to watch.

Date: 2007-02-07 09:44 pm (UTC)As are slumber parties, I definitely agree :-)
Strangely enough, this weekend I was telling the girls about TDF and how even though the second episode hadn't worked for me didn't mean that I meant to stop downloading it, and we're now Wednesday and I still haven't done it. Worse yet, I don't feel like doing it, anyway. I'll still catch up, I think, but I'm in no hurry now...
