Her Life is a WIP

I've set a new record tonight! I've watched two episodes of Smallville in a row \o/ I couldn't, in good conscience, miss "Justice" - which was all kinds of awesome, I have to admit. Now I know why everyone was raving about it :-) And angeliksmall? I understand why you called it the Gayest Episode Ever. After that was "Labyrinth". After the fun and the ever so cheesy the angsty, twas nice.

Just now, it was our weekly two episodes of SPN - SV+SPN, I told you M6 was CW's French cousin - and it never fails to amuse me how riveted to the screen I am, even though I know exactly what is going to happen and when it's going to happen and how. I just love SPN so much that I feel the same level of pleasure each time, even after the 45412th viewing. Besides, tonight second ep was "Faith", which is still one of my most favourite episodes ever. Incidentally, on a pure shallow note, the Dean-falling-on-his-knees moment won't ever not be the sexiest thing. Even under the circumstances. I can't help it, I love that little scene.

Changing the subject. I was pretty knackered today. I was supposed to take it easy and only had an errand to run in the morning before seeing one of the Best Friends, except it spiralled out of control and instead of being home at 10.00 am I finished everything at 3.30 pm. By then I wasn't feel so good, so I bailed out and stayed home.

I snuggled in bed and watched the new Numb3rs - I really enjoyed the episode, though now I'm quite focused on the season finale because the spoilers sound like it's going to be a great ep! - and then I re-watched "Folsom Prison Blues" which I plan on watching again tomorrow. Because I can and because it's worth it *nods*

And speaking of my favourite shows; in 50mn Inside, they had a segment on Heroes. Twas fun seeing a French program talking about the phenomenon... and it also amused me because they apparently were obsessed with all those French fans who illegally download the show and I was like 'awwww, they're talking about us!' *is touched*

Friday! Weekend! Oh how I longed for that day all week, and it's here! Nothing can beat Fridays \o/

Today was the finale of Veronica Mars s2 and since I'd never watched it before, there was no way I was going to miss it. So I made sure that I'd be home. Or okay that's a lie, what happens is that my plans with tbf!Rissy after work were cancelled. Still, I didn't complain because it meant I was home for the episode. Wow. That was some finale, all right! So many twists all around.

Also, Veronica/Logan being one of my ships, I need to ask what exactly happens to them in season 3. Spoil me?

And, of course, today also means Supernatural Friday, wheeeeeeee! The ep finished downloading and it's waiting for me. I'm curious about it - I mean I am on principle but I also want to know whether I'll be on the side of 'underwhelmed' or on the side of 'hey it was awesome!' Usually the divide isn't that obvious so I wonder what the fuss is about.

Still on the subject of SPN. janedavitt did a little Alphabet Meme where you 'describe something, anything in 26 words, in alphabetical order.' I went with Dean because, well, this is me we're talking about? ;-) Here is my response:

Abandonment. Brother. Cocky. Damaged. Efficient. Family. Gorgeous. Handful. Impala. Jest. Killer. Loyal. Motherless. Naughty. Obedient. Protective. Quest. Rock. Sacrifice. Tired. Unity. Vulnerable. Warrior. Xrated. Yearning. Zero tolerance for evil.

I've seen some pretty clever responses where the girls actually made a couple of linked sentences with the words, thus writing a sort of drabble out of the whole thing. Dude, that's all kinds of brilliant because I already had trouble finding some words for a couple of the letters. For some others I had a plethora of ideas. Like the 's' for instance where I thought of Sam. Soldier. Solitude. Salt. Slut etc... But I had to pick one and so went with 'sacrifice.'

PS: Am watching Pirates of Silicon Valley and it's all kinds of brilliant! Bill Gates v. Steve Jobs! Johnny Smith v. Doctor Carter! History of Apple and Microsoft! ♥ ♥

Dude! 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'm watching Grey's Anatomy right now and I have some quick thoughts ( about Jeffrey Dean Morgan and some of his roles, let's say spoilers for GA and SPN )

And speaking of GA, is Callie going to stay? Because I'm slowly falling in love with her - incidentally I'm also finding myself a new ship.

Unrelated now, after work tomorrow - and if everything goes according to plan - I'm going to see Bernard Werber again! His latest book is being released tomorrow and he's doing a signing in Paris and Sandra and I will try to attend. That would be all kinds of awesome as he's one of those authors whose novels I have to buy each time they come out. The alternative would be unthinkable. So let's hope it'll work out.

I'm kinda very tired and it's gonna get worse throughout the next three months and I might whine every now and then but hopefully I won't get too annoying... we'll see *rubs eyes tiredly*

I've just had a long soak while reading some Sinfest and I'm all mellow now *stretches lazily* I've also watched the last episode of Grey's Anatomy s2 because apparently s3 has started already and I didn't want to be so behind that I wouldn't know what happened exactly in the season finale, so I'm all set now.

Also, that episode ( did stuff to me - spoiler inside. )

Next in line, Criminal Minds! And then tomorrow, oh tomorrow! It will be all kinds of awesome because I'll finally get my Eppes boys back! *is full of love*

Oh btw, unrelated now, but I meant to say: LJ has been messing around with me the past week and I've only sporadically received my comment notifications so if I didn't answer one of your comments, even though you think I should have, ie you asked something to me and all that, can you let me know, please? I can easily track those posted on my own journal but on my flist? It's a bit more complex seeing that I'm sometimes a bit chatty. I think I have at least two comments lost somewhere where I'm supposed to give some kind of answers...

What else? Oh, SPN is coming back in less! than! a! week! But I think everyone knows that by now :-) Which, btw, if you dislike SPN? I really feel for you cause it feels like everybody is having the SPN crazies this week lol Or maybe it's just on certain flists... who knows? If you ask me, I'd say that the whole LJ World is full of SPN fans but that might be because I have that kind of lj buddies, you know? *loves her SPN oriented flist*

God, each time you think you've seen all the best promo shots for SPN - here for s2 - some new ones come up and you realise you were really naive. Thanks to mrscutedean for pointing them out to me :-)

Speaking of SPN - which seems to be the subject by default these days - I have this fic I've been wanting to write for the longest time - well, seems that way to me, at any rate - and even though only pieces of dialogues have been written down I already have a title in mind... which might sound a bit obscure when compared with the fic itself. And I was wondering, when you pick a title, do you try to make it easy for the reader to see a link between aforementioned title and the fic or do you just pick the title that came to you, even if you think you'll be the only one to get it? As long as it's clear to you why you picked it, it's all right?

Titles are always a difficult matter to me; either I'll know what it is even before finishing the fic or it'll drive me crazy and coming up with one will prove even more difficut than writing the actual story.

And still on the subject of SPN - so I'm obsessed, so sue me *cough* - I've checked out the DVDs over at amazon.com and am I right in thinking that it's only 35€? Everything included, ie the DVDs, the taxes and the shipping? Or did I miss something somewhere? Cause if that's right, that's so ridiculously cheap that I'm not sure I'll be able to resist long, region 2 be damned! A celles qui ont acheté le coffret sur amazon.com, vous avez payé combien, finalement ? En euro, je veux dire *g*

[sings] Pas le choix faut y aller, oh oohh, dis leur que j'ai pas le temps, on fait des plans pour s'en sortir / J'ai pas le temps, mon espriiit, vise ailleuuuurs [/sings]

Argh, I have the bloody song stuck in my head since last night! But the worst is that it's definitely growing on me. Faf Larage, I so hate you!

Okay so Prison Break? Has its very own French opening credits. Seriously it did surprise me because they just don't do that anymore, add their own touch to an opening credits. But apparently PB was an exception so we got our very own version. A rap song. With lyrics! Yeah, I don't know either. But it must have some addictive qualities because did I mention the singing since last night? *sigh*

As a matter of fact, I even tried finding the file on-line but it's proving to be quite difficult so, for now, I haven't been lucky, but thanks to YouTube we can still have a little fun. So. If you want to know what the French opening credit is about, you can! Note though that this isn't the aforementioned opening credit per se, it's the clip video that was made for the song, for it is a real song, sung by Faf Larage. The video does have clips from the actual show, though. No, seriously, it's all kinds of fun, go on, have a look. If you're brave enough!

[ETA: sockich came to my rescue! And since I'm mean that way, I'm going to share the song.]

And speaking of having a look, omg I'm torn! So there's a new SPN s2 promo going around and this is torture! I mean, I want to remain spoiler free but is a promo really spoilery? I mean, they usually show you stuff that just never happens the way you think and, like, WHAT DO I DO? But I'm thinking, okay, I succeeded in not clicking on any of the gazillion cuts my flist made so far that pertained to s2 - which, btw, those cuts? Thanks, I love you for that *g* - so why break the cycle now, right? Why do I torture myself so? *wails*

Oh, back to Prison Break last night? I'm enchanted because in the course of the three episodes, Michael was called 'gueule d'ange' 'beau gosse' and 'beauté' - I think the nicknames will work for me, though I'm hoping 'beauté' won't be used that much because it just doesn't ring the same at all *makes a face* But 'gueule d'ange' and 'beau gosse'? Yeah, I'm all for that.

Oh bis, JDM was on the telly last night! I had a monster headache and went to bed early but couldn't sleep so I put the tv on anyway and there were two guys speaking on the screen and I immediately recognised one of them cause it was PAPA WINCHESTER! Yes, just like that. The series is one that really doesn't do it for me - The Handler - but I couldn't not watch because that kind of guest star makes it all better. Or not, but let's just say it was a good thing he was on so many scenes...

Apparently I'm a danger to my family when I'm in show withdrawal. This morning during breakfast I kinda completely talked their ears off with SPN and the Phone Call scene in "Home" and "Devil's Trap" and, well, Dean of course. Dean and John and Sam. And I was also witness to a pretty funny convo between Mom and Dad about the Winchesters:

Mom: So Sam left? But he wanted a normal life, that's understandable.
Dad: What? He's selfish! He should have stayed with Ron-
Me: John.
Dad: With John. And Dean. Is that Dean?
Me: *nods*
Dad: *to Mom* I'm sure you would have left us to go to College too.
Mom: *looks mean* I certainly would have.

Ha! Mom is a Sam girl and Dad is a Dean girl. I mean boy, he's a Dean boy.

Speaking of the Winchesters, I come bearing another rec, by janissa11 this time, namely Epiphany. Another punch-in-the-guts kinda fic. God, there truly are some amazing authors in SPN fandom, aren't there? It's gen, it's John and the boys, but it contains rape so heed the warnings if you want to check it out. I worship Em, I have to say - each time she writes a new SPN fic, I'm completely in love.

Changing the subject, though it's still tv related: last night La Globule and I ate early and then proceeded to make one with the couch as we watched several series in a row; including Due South, which he didn't know about. I was also thrilled because it was the first part of "Victoria's Secret". It was fun seeing his reactions actually - he seemed pretty taken with the whole thing. Score!

It'd been some time since I'd watched that episode and, man, I don't think it'll ever not be a fantastic episode! There are so many wonderful scenes I don't know which one to pick as my favourite, though one that kinda blew me away was the Confessional scene. It's such an incredible moment! And it was shot beautifully, wow.

Then it was a little Simpsons session, followed with two episodes of a new series - new for us, that is - namely Keen Eddie. It was fun. And the characters are quite endearing. La Globule and I will investigate further, I think.

And this doesn't have anything to do with anything but Sinfest CRACKS ME UP SO MUCH!

Look, "Devil's Trap" is haunting me. I'm possessed or I don't know what! I think a little exorcism is needed in the form of a little picspam. Which, btw, I wonder how many piscpams this episode will provoke lol But I know I couldn't resist either ;-)

( Devil's Trap piscpam - mostly Dean, okay I admit )

I'll be able to rest now. Maybe *twitch*

Exam Week officially started and I'm so not in the right head space for it it's not even funny. I've been tired with a lot of things since October and I'm thinking of making some changes but dude, it's making me cranky. Well, not cranky cranky, just Mouse cranky so it's done quietly without much of a fuss but still...

Yeah anyway, I still had fun today, including a little VM watching between exam #1 and visit to one of The Best Friends.

So! I'm almost done with the first season of Veronica Mars. I'm two episodes away from the season finale. After that, I'll wait for greedy_dancer to burn the first part of s2 :-) But it also means that I might manage to catch up with the second part of s2 soon enough. I'll certainly download the new episodes so that I can start watching them as soon as I catch up with the missing ones.

No review or anything on my part, just the same thoughts as before: I love Veronica, I love Logan - I might even be kinda rooting for Veronica/Logan, but that's only in canon, as usual, cause fanon I'm all for Weevil/Logan - I love Keith. I'm quite taken with Wallace and Mac - oh and Meg as well. Duncan now... well, Duncan leaves me cold, I'm afraid. It's like he's here... but not. He's kinda transparent to me.

See? Still no VM icons nor long ass reviews. I can be a normal viewer, ie the kind that watches a show without obsessing over it. I mean... a normal viewer can watch a whole season in less than three days... right? Know what? Don't answer that - I don't want my illusions to be shattered.

I'll even change the subject and do that little SPN meme: the Name Three Things You'd Like to See Happen in the Show - and we're talking about the kind that can happen for real, nothing coming straight from the perverted imagination of a dirty little slasher.

So okay, three things...

1- I want to see John, Sam and Dean reunited. With physical contact. Actually, I'll take John and Dean but I guess it wouldn't be fair to let Sam out of it, so yeah I want to see them face each other. Technically, this should totally happen. So what I really want then is for John to hug the hell out of his boys - in particular Dean.

2- I want ( something that has to do with Faith so this is a spoiler )

3- I want a flashback of the Winchester family when they were together: I'm talking John and the boys. Either when Sam and Dean were little kids or when they were older, but I want me some flashbacks. Incidentally, I'm still waiting for that flashback in Numb3rs, I'm just sayin'.
