Okay so first, my weekend. Was quite hectic and tiring - we left at 8.00 am on both days and got home at 9.30 pm. Add to that another hour to wrap everything up - but things went well. I also really enjoyed the show as it was a medieval show; with a tournament between four knights – both camps fought for Excalibur. My favourite knight was Arthur’s companion, Mélian d'Elis; he was the group’s woobie as he was always beaten up and always quite treacherously, too, as the Dark Knight and Igor, King of the Vikings – I kept calling him Sven in my head – always hit him in the back and stuff. Woobie!

Anyway, it was great. I 'saw' the show seven times – as much as you can see it while working over there – and I loved it each time. There was a little ‘incident’ though when during the falconry act, the eagle decided to take a hike and instead of going from point trainer-a to point trainer-b, it decided to pay a little visit to the audience, causing a hundred heart attacks in the process. It did it once on the first showing on sunday and twice on the second one… so Dad decided to, maybe, ask for a change during that part *cough*

As for the funny things you see when working there – there were two shows in the same area. The medieval show where my team worked and the other one where my BIL's team worked. At noon everyone ate at the same place but since the artists didn't have the time to change before the next showing they all kept their costumes, so in the same room were Mary Poppins eating next to the Dark Knight, sitting himself close to Pocahontas who was chatting up with an Elf Prince.

Dude, Big Top is always fun :-)

And second, DEXTEROMG! Or How I Watched The Season Finale and Died. Spoilers for Dexter 1x12 – Born Free )

And last night, I did some caps because I knew I’d want to share some Dexter goodness. Twelve Born Free caps inside. )

In conclusion. Best show in the world! I don’t think I didn’t enjoy a single episode. Not even kidding. Each new ep seemed to be better than the previous one and I’m so sad to see the show go. I don’t even want to know when we’re supposed to get the second season, it’ll be too far away anyway.

Also, if Michael C. Hall doesn't win the golden globe I'm gonna cry! I wish Dexter could win every award there is on this earth. The End.

Hello flist, this is Mouse, posting from home. I woke up this morning feeling fine then suddenly I wasn't feeling fine at all anymore and had to call in sick. I'm waiting to see whether I'll be okay to go this afternoon or if I'm looking at a whole day of feeling queasy and exhausted. Oh the excitement!

On the bright side, it did give me the opportunity to finally watch both Supernatural and Dexter. I couldn't last night; see, when I got home from work yesterday, and with my Christmas classics firmly on, I decorated the whole house - hee Christmas tree! Shiny and pretty decorations! Mini Christmas village near the fireplace *loves* And when it was done The Esu came over and the three of us went to my grand-parents' place soon-to-become The Esu's place - the interior looks so different now. It's not completely finished yet but it's a different house altogether. Which suits us just fine - different generation, different style - and we put up the decorations on the facade. We had to mac gyver the whole thing with cables and tape so that a) some of the decorations would stay in place and b) the plugs and sockets wouldn't get wet, and in the process we got wet and, man, it was so cold! It was for the good cause, though.

But anyway, all that to say that we got home around 10.30 pm and then I didn't have the time to catch up with my shows. Which I finally remedied this morning. So. This will be quick because I'm tired and all but one thing is sure there will be spoilers behind the cuts. Let's start with Dexter 1x11 - Truth Be Told ) And then let's move on to Supernatural 2x09 - Croatoan. Or say, THOSE two scenes. )

So to make a long story short: I might feel like crap but SPN and Dexter definitely helped me feel a bit better :-)

Still no work to be done. Well, we had, like, fifteen students so far? And around, what, ten files? That's it. F-Girl is surfing e-bay, M-Boy is eating a chausson au pomme, D-Girl is playing with radioblog, even Boss Lady is watching video on a cha-cha competition thingie. As for myself, well, I'm obviously writing this entry. Yay, Compta Team \o/

Oh! I meant to tell you. The other day we had an officer come in to do the registration for his son and he was in full uniform and we might have looked at him quite intensely. He also might have noticed because when he left he winked at us lol We couldn't help it, though. Uniform kink and all that, right? And just five minutes ago, we had a priest. In full priest uniform, too, as they're wont to do, and I'm afraid I had some SPN uniform!kink badwrong thoughts *cough* Forgive me, Father, all right?

So! Onto other things now, namely the wonder that is Dexter. Oh, Dexter! I have SO MUCH LOVE for you that just thinking about you makes me high *dreamy sigh*

Spoilers for 1x10 Seeing Red )

I can't believe there're only two episodes left! What am I gonna do without my weekly Dexter fix? *sobs* No more Dexter, no more Heroes, no more Supernatural - though we do have new SPN this week, right? What about Numb3rs, then? New N3 on the 15th, too, is that correct? Dude, those hiatuses will be the death of me yet!

Speaking of Heroes, omg I can't wait to see it! I almost wish I could cancel my little dinner tonight lol

Had a lot of work to do today and no motivation to do it. Btw, thanks to Sam for saving my sanity in class tonight - hail to gmail chat *cough* All day long, I just couldn't wait to get home. And I also couldn't wait to watch the new Dexter. That show owns me like you wouldn't believe. Each episode is pretty much a long squee fest. And "Father Knows Best" was definitely a prime example.

Spoilers for Dexter 1x09 )

And some screencaps too )

Does anyone know where I can watch the promo for next week? I'll try over at YouTube if needs be but I didn't have that much luck for the previous one. Also, still no news on how to access the bloody showtime website when you're not from the US of A? Because it really grates on my nerves being unable to visit that website just because I don't live over there. So fucking what, man, gimme access to the site!

And still on the subject of Dexter - did you know that we'll get a third book? Because I didn't and when I found out I was all excited! A new Dexter novel! In July, though, which is a lifetime away, but still!

Unrelated #1 - I caught up with Heroes last night and that show keeps being all kinds of brilliant! I love that it's moving fast enough that we don't feel like we'll die of old age before things start to come together but slow enough that we're still sitting on the edge of our seats and craving the next episode to finally get the new twists and turns.

Oh and also, I think Masi Oka and Milo Ventimiglia appeared on tv somewhere? Does anyone know in what show and whether I can find it on-line? To download or watch - maybe on YouTube again - cause I'd love to see them. Thanks.

Unrelated #2 - to the French on my flist who have cable? SPN is premiering on TF6 next week.

Got some nice news today - Big Top time doesn't begin on Saturday as I thought but on Sunday. I've got a whole free day that I didn't think I'd have. To celebrate, tbf!Rissy is bringing me to Disney Village - as opposed to Eurodisney itself - on Sat for some Christmassy things. Well, hopefully they'll have started with the Christmassy things. In any case, it'll be a day away from Choisy and it's always nice :-) Then on Sunday, Big Top time begins; also meaning that I won't have a single day off til, what, Christmas Eve? Yes. Ha, and I thought I was tired before? The next four weeks should be interesting! After Big Top time and Regular Job time are both over and Classes are on Hiatus, I'll treat myself with a whole week of Big Nothing, mark my words *nods*

Anyway, onto the fannish things. Just watched Dexter and it might sound a bit redundant but hee New Favourite Episode! Man, that show is so fucking good I want to hug it and squish it and call it George! Spoilers for Dexter 1x08 - Shrink Wrap inside )

And since I'm apparently in picspam mood these days - four caps of the episode. Three pics of the Ads of Awesomeness and one of Dex that I just love: Lookit Lookit. )

Also omg look! I have a shippy icon! I repeat, I have a shippy icon. An icon! Of my ship! As in het pairing!

PS: Even though I've kinda totally stopped watching Prison Break, I couldn't not download the last episode after I heard about Something and seems like someone has read a lot of fanfics! Not that I'm complaining, mind you, because that was great *pets Michael* Also, PB is pure crack. I knew that when I was watching before, but going back to the show after a time really brings the point home, believe me lol Can't wait for the next episode now, unless the show is going in hiatus already, too?

Oh guys I'm having the most relaxing day I've had in ages! So yesterday I decided to take today off - don't know if I've mentioned it but I'm quite tired these days? Oh yeah, a million times already. Well yesterday I thought that I didn't want to go to work today. So a day off it was. I picked today for two reasons a) I don't have classes on tuesdays so I really don't have to go out at all if I don't want to and b) noone is at home today so I'm all ALONE in the house and just - man, it's heaven.

So far I *counts on fingers* woke up at 9.30, sat in front of Clark free and happy and cruised the flist, watched the new Dexter, took a looong soak and finally caught up with the last Supernatural. After writing this I'll watch the last two episodes of Brothers & Sisters and when the download will be over I'll watch the new Heroes

All of this? Is making the Mouse a really happy camper. What also made me happy were the two eps I watched *nods*

Spoilers galore for Dexter 1x07 - Circle of Friends )

And now a couple of observations re: Supernatural 2x07 - The Usual Suspects )

Something else. See, so far I've gone into each new episode of SPN completely spoiler-free, ie I don't know the title of the ep, I don't know even one little detail of the summary and it's been awesome getting into the episodes ignorant of everything. But as it happens, when I was searching for a line for "The Usual Suspects" I found myself face to face with the summary of next week's episode and I have a question - OMG DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THE TRAILER? I mean, yeah, please? THANK YOU!

In conclusion, if you're having as good a day as I'm having, we're all sending very good vibes to the world today :-)

PS: Paid users can get a week of additional paid time to compensate the outage of last week. You just need to activate it.

I was a bit afraid of going to work this morning due to the - umpteenth - SNCF strike but it wasn't that bad. I had to let go two trains because saying they were packed would be like saying Jim and Blair are just good friends, ie it would be a ridiculous understatement, but the third one was empty! Like, I could even find a seat! Unbelievable *blink* I'm now hoping tonight won't make up for this morning 'easy' because getting home at 10.00 pm would suck, thanks.

Still haven't watched Numb3rs but Dexter and Heroes were squeed over and, man, those two shows OWN me! ♥ ♥

Spoilers for Dexter 1x07 )

You know, reading the novel made me fall in love with the characters all over again - and what Lindsay did with Cody's character, as well as Pastor was quite the streak of genius - and it's also a great addition to the series. It's like I'm really seeing the character, that way. More than I did with 'just' the show. Though like I said, I do really like tv!Deb but I absolutely adore novel!Deb and I really wish they'd kept her. It's just sad that they didn't deem necessary to keep the original character's grumpiness. Show!Deb is a bit too... shiny and enthusiastic, I guess. She's great - I just regret the other version, is all.

Okay anyway, onto Heroes now. Spoilers for 1x06 Nothing to Hide )

So yes, still madly in love *g*

I was thinking that today was an Extreme Uber!Slow Day but I started writing that entry at 9.15 and it's now 12.15 30 so I guess we did have stuff to do :-) Off to have lunch with The Girls and The Other Boy now.

So. How many of you guys are watching Dexter? Because that show is fantastic and there should be more of you. I succeeded in dragging Kaja, GD and Sam to the dark side but if more of you could join us, it would be brilliant :-) Unless you're squeamish and don't particularly like ambiguous main characters because, in that case, er yeah, better stay away from the show *nods* I know I can't get enough of it. I even bought the second novel and I'm waiting for the first one. I'm curious to see the differences between the books and the series.

"Let's Give The Boy a Hand" has to be my favourite episode to date. Here be some spoilers )

Unrelated now, I might have written 1700+ words of Mohinder/Peter last night. I was so excited about it that I could have burst :-) Thing is, I have to wait for yesterday today's episode to see whether I can finish it because I wrote the story in light of Something that happened in "Collision" and depending on what we'll see with the new ep, I might have to change some stuff, or, heaven forbid, rewrite the whole thing. Except if it comes to that, I might just declare my fic to be 150% AU and be done with it. We'll see. And important thing, I wrote again! So it's of the good. Just - if I could finish the story without rewriting it all? It would be swell, thanks *fingers crossed* Incidentally, omg I can't wait for the new Heroes! And sad thing is I might have to wait because I have two cousins coming over tonight and, of course, one of them will have to sleep in Clark's room and if the download isn't over before he wants to go to bed I'll have to stop it and switch Clark off and it'll mean I'll have to wait til tomorrow after work instead of tonight *dies*

PS: If I needed another beta, say for Numb3rs - incest - and/or Heroes, would one of you be willing to help? I need people who're tough on the grammar thing and who can make my English look/sound like one a native speaker would, well, speak.

I had an early night yesterday - going to bed/sleep at midnight is an early night, no matter what a lot of people say - but not before catching up with Heroes and Dexter.

Heroes keeps rocking my world )

And Dexter keeps being incredibly disturbing but kinda brilliant too - seems like I'll download the rest after all )

Still on the subject of Dexter - the show airs on Showtime and the network website is a jerk who doesn't want foreigners to visit it and I need some help - I remember that I used to add something to the URL so that I could access it even from outside the US of A - does anyone can help me here? Thanks in advance.

Unrelated now, some time ago [livejournal.com profile] turps33 decided to play with the Five Things meme and I asked her about Five Ways Dean Bottomed for Sam because... well, because I'm me, I guess, and she delivered three of those five ways and I think you should check them out because they're all kinds of awesome :-)
