First things first, as unbelievable as it may sound, Sentinel Thursday has been updated with the Challenge #82 last night, ie around a couple of minutes after it'd been closed at the community. No, I'm not even kidding *blink*

Second. What did I do yesterday before school? I rushed to the mall to see if I could find Angel S5 for a reasonable price and OMG they'd reduced all the seasons by half and for S4, it was actually more than that. So I ended up buying S5-1 and S4-2 for not even the price of one set. I'll never understand how and why they decide what to reduce and how much to reduce them but in cases like this? I could care less because yay two sets for not even the price of one!

I watched ( Cavalry - Salvage - Release - Orpheus - Players and Inside Out )

And I'm sure I had something else to say and I forgot! Damn... No, I can't find what it was. Well, it certainly wasn't anything of importance but then, nothing really is around my LJ, so I don't see why that was supposed to make a difference, so think, brain, think!

Brain: *thinks* *finds nothing*

Well okay. I hate you *pout*

Toodles!

Current Mood: hungry

Wow, we had a sort of ice storm yesterday which lasted for around fifiteen minutes and it was semi-insane - the ground, the roofs, the car, everything was covered in white! Felt as if it'd snowed, only it hadn't. Still, it was pretty. Though I was glad I wasn't outside when the sky attacked us cause 'ouch'.

So. I watched Numb3rs 1x04 and it's getting better and better. The Eppes family is soon becoming one of my favourite families ever. Also I actually love the idea of Don/Terry. Yes, I just said that. Though I can like het in canon now and then, like I keep saying.

I also watched Epiphany last night [Angel 2x16 or something like that, I guess] and damn, my love for the Cordelia-Wesley-Gunn team was still alive and going strong. And also? Gunn/Wes is a beautiful thing, man I'm definitely feeling the Gunn/Wes love - they're so cute together! They're cute no matter the side you're on, anyway. They just are, period *g*

On a different note. I don't know how it happened but it seems The Esu is going to give me their digital camera. Not even kidding. I didn't even whine or stamp my foot, I didn't pout or throw a tantrum, I didn't even ask, I swear. We were talking about how I'd like to borrow their camera to take some pictures of my pseudo new bedroom to send

babycakesin, which they did. Lend me the thing, I mean, and before I knew it, they were sorta giving it to me. I still need to get it for real, but still. Isn't that perfect? I think it is lol

Anyway, in the meantime, I succeeded in taking some pictures, including of Clark and... my handwriting. Cause you know, I thought that pic meme was cool and I never got to play, for obvious reasons. But now I can, so I'm doing it a million years after everyone else did. Whatever *waves hands in the air*

So pic #1: ( Clark and Teh Shrine - with explanation of what is what. I'm completely serious, too )

And pic #2: ( my handwriting )

Yes! I was finally able to play too *bounce* And now *peeks at computer clock* I think I should hurry a bit cause I'll be late for school!

Which actually doesn't have anything to do with the content of this entry or the way I feel but Wesley cracked me up when he said it, so there.

Speaking of which, two random and --let's be honest here-- quite pointless facts about Angel:

#1- The Cordelia-Wesley-Gunn Team? Is so very perfect and cute - I love it to pieces.

#2- Going from S4 to S2 is really quite the experience. Watching Wesley in particular since huh... it's like day and night. It can't be helped though since I buy the sets I can find, you know, and there's no way I can wait, so as soon as I get my hands on a new season, I just watch it, which makes for some nice moments - though technically I saw most of the series in order, I just have some half-seasons to complete. But I'm getting there and I might even own the four complete seasons before the fifth comes out here on in March *crosses fingers*

Hey, my last class of the day was cancelled - on the first week of the new semester, too, isn't that sweet? *g* So I came back home with a smile plastered on my face because hey, that's always nice when you can go home sooner than expected. And to celebrate the fact that I was on weekend earlier, I geeked myself out and coded some new stories for the ST archive --we're slowly getting there, guys-- and decided to post my two latest Night stories at 852 Prospect as well. I mean, after doing it the first times I wrote responses for the ST challenges, I came to the realisation that I didn't like posting stories so short over there after all, but it's different here somehow, cause they're part of a series and my obsessive compulsiveness had some trouble with the whole there-are-two-stories-missing-omg thing! My subconscious can be such an ass *trails off* Or something *cough*

On a different note, I had some really cool fannish talks about both Lost and The Sentinel both on personal LJs and communities this past week and it's just grand. Being a fangirl is really a great thing... when you know how to avoid the wanks lol

And tonight? Nip/Tuck, yay! Am gonna have a little Lost marathon first... and then I'll turn to Nip/Tuck. Perfect *g* I love Me days - well, afternoon/night, whatever *is self-centered*

No wait! New Numb3rs tonight as well, right? Cause okay, I don't know when I'll get to download it, but that's still Numb3rs Friday, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it?

ETA: OMG! Canal+ is airing Fullmetal Alchemist! I can't believe I'm finally going to see that anime!

Current Mood: accomplished

I know I already sent a card so it might sound a tad redundant, but the Bday post is part of the LJ tradition, so Joyeux Anniversaire to a member of the French Posse, namely the lovely

crazybutsound. Hope you had a great day, in spite of everything. You sure deserve it *hugs*

On a different note now and because I'm a TV junkie:

Angel:
Damn, who would have thought that going through three discs would take such a short time *longs for other seasons of Angel* I mean, I didn't realise it the first time because when I obsessively got into the series and started with my Nightly Marathons, I actually had four box sets to watch so it felt like I always had a new disc to feed my little DVD player, but with the last development in my plan on getting the whole show on DVDs, I just bought one little box set and seriously but what was I supposed to do? Watch one episode a day? What am I? Supergirl with Super Will & Discipline? AH! It's a good thing I had a lot to do today - I have yet to watch the last episode, namely Soulless, so I'm not totally done yet. But after that... it's withdrawal time! Unless I go and treat myself with a new box set sometime this week, but I'm not sure it's reasonable ~~- right, as if it ever stopped me before.~~

But whatever.

Back to the Third and Last Holy Disc, my watching Awakening sorta went ( in five little steps )

Can you tell I'm still having fun with that show? *g*

Nip/Tuck:
So I watched it last night and my love for Christian grows and grows. Sometimes I seriously can't believe I'm hearing what I'm hearing or seeing what I'm seeing, but the guy is just too fucked-up for words and look so lost and I just love it - he's definitely one hell of an interesting character *g* Makes you want to strangle him and hug him at the same time lol

Numb3rs:
Does someone remember the Upload ~~Madness~~ Adventure? Well, I turned to SendThisFile and uploaded the pilot for the umpteenth time over there and gave it away to those who'd requested it in the first place. I still have two links left which are yours for the taking. If someone wants it, drop me a line.

Also, even though

snurch_tv fell victim of teh TOS, I still managed to contact someone who had the second episode for grabs and she was kind enough to upload the episode for me, so I'll have a nice little Numb3rs fix soon *bounce* Now I just need to get my hands on the third episode *is hopeful*

Stargate SG1:
I want to solemnly thank

thegrrrl2002 for linking me to this post where The Prettiness and Hotness That Is Hooded Daniel was displayed for everyone to see *g* Damn, Daniel in robes is so a kink of mine... and the hood thing? *is dead* Before you click though, bear in mind that it contains pic-spoilers for It's Good to be King.

The Sentinel:
M6 already cancelled TS *sigh* I told you they had a love-hate relationship - I was so happy to have my favourite couple back on my telly, but well, fate was against us lol

The Dead Zone:
New season started tonight - whee!

Current Music: The Dead Zone

Hey guys, would one of you have Call on Me by Eric Prydz and would be willing to share it on YSI, please?

And now without the slightest segue:

So I watched the first episodes of Angel S4, ( up to Apocalypse Nowish, aka Rain of Fire )

As for "Spin the Bottle"? To say that I enjoyed the episode like mad ( would be the understatement of the year )

So yeah, Angel still rocks like a rocking thing *g*

Speaking of fun. "The Summit" was on today and can I say again thank you to TPTB for giving me canon slave!Daniel? Though I'll always be mourning the fact that instead of wearing the pretty ugly outfit he wore with the sorta disgraceful arm bands - twasn't to my taste, I'm afraid - he could have been one the black-leather-wrist-band-chest-harness-clad slaves we saw with the other System Lords. But hey, I still had slave!Daniel kneeling of front of his Lord, so I'm happy!

And I was wondering... Did

snurch_tv kill YSI yesterday? Cause if it did, YSI seems to have gotten its revenge apparently - it's almost poetic. Too bad though *sigh* But some things, as cool as they are, aren't meant to last, I suppose. As a result, I lost my Tru Calling download... and I'm now looking for Numb3rs 1x02 *pout* If someone has the file and would be willing to upload it somewhere - let me know, please? Thanks *g*

Current Music: The Pretender

Today has been good *g* So okay I had to study a lot but that's not the point. The point is everything else I did/saw/read.

So first,

audrarose? I received your card today, thanks!! And don't worry, the cultural humour translated quite well and it did make me laugh a lot. I love that kind of humour - so thanks, loved it *g*

Second,

maaaaa gave me a spanking! I mean, no wait! She gave me a spanking fic, ie she w.r.o.t.e me a TS spanking fic and OMFG it was scorching hot *eg* She based it on this icon *points icon* And seriously? If you dig erotic spanking, run, do no walk, to this post. It's told from Blair's POV and it's just too hot for words *g* I love it. Thankyouthankyouthankyou again, woman!

Third. So! After despairing of ever getting the damn file - it froze at 99% for ever - I finally vanquished my "Lineage" download and willed it to fucking complete with my totally inexistent sekrit super mental power last night, like huh... around 2.00 am or something. And I finally watched it instead of Point Pleasant. Will watch that one today *is determined*

Anyway ( 5x07 - Lineage )

Yeah, anyway, I really loved that episode. It might have taken forever to download, but it was so worth it *g*

Okay now... off to study some more before rewarding myself with Point Pleasant *is still determined*

Current Music: Lineage - again

Okay so reading the same line over and over again for several minutes and being totally incapable of explaining what was said might be a sign that you should give up - I hereby declare my revising done and over with for today *nodnod*

Before I start on anything else - huh... excuse me?? There's actually a fifth Highlander movie being filmed?? Highlander : The Source it's called apparently. And no one never ever even mentioned it? There's something rotten in the kingdom of huh... fandom *frowns* *shrug*

And I know, I know that I shouldn't rejoice at the idea of yet another HL movie because in the history of sucky things those movies have a place of honour, I get that, I do - but... but did you see who's supposedly in the cast already? Peter Wingfield! And did you see the subtitle? The Source - so maybe we would even get more of, like, two minutes and thirty-three seconds of the ROG?? One fangirl can only dream. Though it also seems that the filming has been delayed after all, so maybe it'll stay just a dream, and okay, it might be a good thing too. [Edit: So it seems Imdb wasn't the reliable soucrce I thought it was for once, and the movie isn't being filmed at all.]

Now that's out of the way - huge thanks to both

yami_tai and

lerefuge because thanks to them today has been an awesome mail day! First, Neige sent me 14, count 'em, 14 CDs of SG:A and SG S8 and can I say WOW?! And Tai granted me one of my dearest wishes and got me Descendants of Darkness, ie Yami no Matsuei the manga v.1 and I squeed like crazy because I have the anime but I've been dreaming of getting the manga for ages! Ah, aren't you green with envy, now? Of course if you don't even know what the hell I'm talking about, you aren't and if you know but don't give a toss about that particular series, you're even less, but humour me, please? She also got me a new CLAMP series and I'm in manga heaven *g*

I'll finish with the traumatising part of my Angel Marathon last night - ie my watching "Sleep Tight", "Forgiving", "Double or Nothing", "The Price" and "A New World". What? Yes I spend my days revising and my nights watching Angel these days - it's working quite good, too. Anyway, ( I just have one thing to say about those episodes )

This series is so very incredible *blink*

Current Music: SG

So I'm still finding my way through Angel and I watched "Waiting in the Wings", "Couplet" and "Loyalty" last night and it's odd ( Spoiler The First, I suppose. ) I love it when shows really make you feel, know what I mean?

Speaking of Angel? I have a question about why ( Spoiler The Second ) So yeah, I really wish someone could help me with this. Well, I'll buy the missing seasons soon enough, though I have no idea when right now, so someone?

And speaking of spoilers? After talking with

nekosmuse about QAF S5, I had to check out some new spoilers - I'm spoiler free as far as Lost is concerned and decided I'll try again with some future shows like, maybe, The 4400 - but QAF? No way. No can do *shrug* And those I found - if they end up being true - should keep things interesting, wow!

Current Music: La Courtisane

Read my flist and wow - freaking out posts all around and some good dose of apocalyptic predictions. What would LJ be without its drama queens, right? And no offense, btw, I could be there too. So SixApart bought LJ - or should I say EvilSixApart did? Cause from what I read, this is what happened. So what's the deal exactly? Are we going to lose everything we hold dear around LJ land? Our beloved interface, our precious freedom of perviness? What? Are they even going to change anything and will we even notice? As you can guess, I never even heard about Six Apart, so yeah. And since you can't really trust your flist to stay rational when facing changes, I still have no idea about the changes that will really occur... if they even do as a mattter of fact.

And now two random facts :

Fact #1: Wesley is so a male version of Ally McBeal! It's not exactly my fault, but see I watched "Guise Will Be Guise" ~~in the middle of the night again~~ last night and when he so ungracefully fell down on his cute ass, I had a vision of her. That was weird, granted, but what can I say? Then again, it was 3.30 am so that may be an explanation *cough*

Fact #2: Cordelia-Wesley is unbearably cute! I already thought Sam-Daniel was, but wow, I think they're beaten by The Cuteness That Is Cordelia-Wesley. I guess their behaving as if they were 5 year-old siblings uncapable of holding a normal conversation without being snarky and bitchy toward one another after more than three minutes has something to do with it.

Because yes, AtS can be cute as well as dark, didn't we establish that already? *g*

And now... now I'm back to studying while hoping that the next time I refresh the flist, I'll find the new episode of Lost because LOST THURSDAY, man!

PS: Oh and I'm going to start a major Amazon smiting session - there's something wrong going on and my parcels aren't making it. They've been lost, and twice actually. This sucks *pout*

Received some pretty shocking news yesterday and am processing, as they say. I wrote a pretty long entry about it, then deleted it because suddenly it felt like a call for attention and I didn't like it. I mean, calling for attention with your friends is one thing, but with a flist? It's another story. Besides I remembered that I don't share personal stuff around here - so it got deleted.

Instead, I'll go back to safe subjects like, you know, look at my GIP? I finally found the Wesley icon I was looking for. I saw it on

yami_tai's LJ and hunted the creator down... or something, and snagged it, because it was just the one I wanted. Isn't it gorgeous? *g*

And speaking of Wes, now that I'm back at school and slaving around to prepare my finals in two weeks, I could tell you that I don't have the time to watch Angel anymore but it would be a big fat lie, because nights exist for a reason, right? And no, it's not to sleep - sleep is so overrated. So I'm finding my way through S1 and S2 atm and enjoying every minute of it. Hell, every second of it, because damn Angel is that good, and Wesley is just that perfect. He's like a study in contradiction, that man - endearing and sweet and clumsy one minute, focused, with a sharp edge and deadly the next. I'm also quite addicted to his insecurities because that's how I am, so when they play on it in the story lines, I'm in heaven. To make a long story short, I'm still getting my daily - make that, nightly Wesley fix and enjoying myself like crazy *g*

Also, I thought Daniel or Blair had it bad in their respective shows in the whumping department, but Wes could give them a run for their money - and it's only getting worse?

Now on a different note - seems like the up-coming months should bring us some nice shows. I already knew we were getting Lost and CSI: NY on TF1, but it seems M6 bought SG:A - which isn't a surprise, mind - and The 4400 which sounded like an intriguing show, so I'm curious to see the real thing.

Oh and this has nothing to do with anything but the galette des rois season is here... and I'm not a happy camper because I don't like it, and it's the only dessert we'll get for the whole week whenever we'll be invited somewhere *pout* And anyway? I never get la fève. Then again, like I told my mom when she got it on Sunday [first Sunday of January and all that] and got to be crowned Queen, I'm already a drama queen, so I don't need no new crowns! lol

And on a final note... The Return of Lost is almost upon us *bounce*

Current Mood: lethargic

I'm looking at the clock and I'm blinking at it because I can't believe it's almost 7.00 pm. Where did the day go?? I have no idea, but wow.

The party finished at 6.00 am, we officially went to bed around 7.00 am - we were up at noon, which after the night we had wasn't even near enough *yawns* The 'brunch' we ate sorta helped remind our bodies that we were indeed awake, but not by much lol And what a brunch it was, too: cheese, foie gras and coquilles St Jacques were right next to the toasts, the madeleines and the nutella, which in turn were right next to the ham, mortadelles, mashed potatoes and biche bourguignone - man, just thinking about it makes me nauseous now *shakes head fondly* Then we cleaned the house which huh... took forever. It shouldn't be legal for a family to be that messy during any kind of party. At 4.00 pm we were finally free and we've been chilling until now. Godfather and Co just left so I'm back to a quiet and peaceful house... and back to my computer, obviously lol

My plan for the rest of the day - or should I say for the night - is a) to catch up with the flist b) read some of the fics I just saved and c) snuggle in bed and immerse myself in Angel. I totally fell for Wesley and the whole Angel-verse. They got me, hook line and sinker. I decided that Wesley had to be one of the best characters ever, so as of today, he made it to the My Favourite Characters list.

And I think that the episodes that irremediably drew me to him are - oddly enough, maybe - "She" and "I've Got You Under My Skin". I say 'oddly' enough because when we see what happens next in the later seasons, those episode might sound real trivial - but that's how it is. I started watching "She" and laughed at Wesley's antics... almost whimpered at his Yes, sir and I'm your faithful servant lines directed at Angel because that was almost too much for me, caught myself rewinding some scenes already. Then "I'Ve Got You Under My Skin" happened and I was right there - the moment when a fangirl knows she's starting to, well, fangirl over a new character/show/whatever, know what I mean? Well, I was there *g* Wesley was still funny and sweet and oh so very dorky but suddenly there was angst and past trauma and insecurity and how could I resist that?? Well, I couldn't, so there.

I now need to get all the Wesley I can get, and thanks to my brand new box sets... I won't have to wait, woohoo! I also need to snag an icon, I think, though I don't know whether I want one of Wes on his own, or a slashy one. Hunting for a new icon takes time sometimes, so we'll see what I find anyway *g*
