Her Life is a WIP

Spring holidays still going strong and still being very kind to me. Today's program, SPN Marathon Take 2. angeliksmall and greedy_dancer are on the way, junk food has been purchased (sugary and salty) and our favourite beer will be in the fridge soon enough. We should be all set. We'll see how many episodes we succeed in watching but we're going for nine, ie from 5x11 to 5x19. With some luck, we'll be ready to watch the last episodes with the rest our respective flists :-)

So, hey, I promised to myself when I went to see Kick Ass that if I ended up enjoying the movie I wouldn't do any kind of lame-o puns on the title but I'm breaking my promise because the film really lived up to said title! It was seriously awesome and it certainly made for a great ride! I can't wait to get my hands on the DVD now. I was hoping we'd get to see the trailer for The Losers but alas it wasn't meant to be. I don't even know when the film will come out in France, it's a sad state of affair, that.

Unrelated, I've had a lot of fun adding prompts to the Kinkmeme #6 over at aianonlovefest and having even more fun reading others'! Even if a third of the prompts I'm tracking are filled, I'll be a happy AI fangirl :-p

Oh, dude, having all those chocolate-y goodness in front of me makes me want to dig in... but I must be strong and wait for the girls to arrive, right? Right *is strong*

The Good: pretty much the whole weekend?

We spent all of Friday night watching MCR media. If it had MyChem in it? It was good for us! Interviews, video clips, the infamous Life on the Murder Scene, whatever was MCR related - even from afar, like the episode of LA Ink with Frank.

We basically basked in MCR's awesomeness from around 8.45 PM to 3.00 AM. Rosie was a warrior - you can ask her whatever you want about MyChem, she'll probably know the answer, even though she didn't know a thing about them before Friday afternoon.

Saturday was pretty much dedicated to shopping and strolling all around Lyon. The weather was so nice! Sunny and warm - hot, even. In the evening we went to the yummiest Japanese restaurant I've ever been to. From the decor to the food, it was pretty much perfect.

Sunday meant the market in the morning followed with the lazying around at Starbucks.

The Bad: the painful trauma that was Twilight.

After the restaurant, we headed to Rosie's, and Jem made us watch Twilight. As it goes, she'd been talking about it for ever and we wanted to be good friends and watch it with her... I think we all learnt a valuable lesson that night; wanting to please your friends? Is not always a good idea!

Most.Awful.Film.Ever. I'm not even joking. Some films are so bad they turn out good, right? This one was just... bad. Look, I don't even have the words, ok? Jem kept telling us that we'd feel differently if we'd seen it in the right setting, ie in a theater on the big screen and, yeah, I guess we would - I'd be even more upset to have paid for it! The only redeemable thing about the film is that it ends at one point? And even that, it certainly takes its time! Nothing happens in Twilight! Even Bella's sentences never finish! No, wait, there is something; a lot of sighing and a lot of cringe-worthy bad acting.

We came to the conclusion that the only way to watch that film is with your mates, because you can make up your own dialogues and run your own commentary all along. Otherwise, the badness would kill you. Dead.

Just got home from the theater; I met with greedy_dancer after work to see Prince Caspian, which I really enjoyed. Plus, a film is always even more enjoyable in the company of another slasher. We were having a blast with all the Peter/Caspian subtext and innuendos and whatnot that only a slasher will see.

I told her that I definitely knew what I was going to do once back home and I do plan on hunting some Narnia slash. If anyone has recs, I'm all ears. Also, I mentioned to GD a poll I'd seen recently on LJ meant to decide who people thought topped in the Peter/Caspian relationship and after watching the film, I have to say it's not an easy question.

My first reaction was to say Peter but after further thoughts I'm not sure it would be that obvious... so I think - and coming from me that's kinda huge - that they might switch. Though I have a preference for Caspian bottoming, anyway *nods* Edmund is bottom all the way, btw, but then again he's my fave, so...

Oh and er... is there any slash involving the General? Just, you know, out of curiosity.

Changing the subject; I had a fun afternoon at work today. With a couple of my coworkers, we modelled for a couple of shoots. Yes, I'm a model now \o/ Sorta. Okay, not really.

I mentioned that we're working on Big Project #1 at the moment, right? We need some posters/ads for it. Graphic Lady decided to take some photos she'll use on one of her posters and in order to so she needed students to sit for it.

Except this time of the year, there's no students left at the uni, so she enlisted a bunch of us to play at being all student-like... If she doesn't mind fake!students in their late-twenties instead of real!students in their not-even-early-twenties, who was I to argue? Especially as it meant I was out of the office for some time and even out of the building later on as she wanted some exterior shoots. Like, students studying on their laptops in Teh Great Outdoors, you know? Twas fun :-)

Oh and I still don't have a desk - it's been ordered but hasn't arrived yet - or anything but I now have my laptop and a desktop, so naturally I decided to give them a name. Then it came to me.

Fact One, Desktop is much bigger than Laptop. Fact Two: Desktop is plugged in Laptop. Conclusion: Jared is Desktop and Jensen is Laptop! So obvious omg! Therefore I called the entity J2 \o/ Now that my computers have name, I'm sure I'll do even better work ;-p

The French Posse left Monday Morning. I know that those weekends shouldn't be a weekly occurrence because they would lose their 'special' feel but still, they're so awesome that it's always a bit weird when it's over. The flat certainly seemed big all of a sudden. No crazybutsound and greedy_dancer and moimoietmoi and french_hobbit anymore. So much space for ole lil' me!

On RL, non-fangirl standards, I suppose we kinda did nothing. But on a fangirl point of view, we had a busy weekend! Starting on Thursday night for crazybutsound and me. Then the rest of the French Posse joined us on Friday... well, that is, a series of bad luck prevented french_hobbit from joining us on that day but we won't dwell on that because it wasn't one of our finest moment *cough* She did arrive on Saturday, though, so all wasn't lost.

Basically we only left the flat on Sunday for a little Starbucks outing. We also went to very exciting places like Ikea or La Redoute. Because we are just that WILD \o/

But apart from that we just stayed indoors. Mostly in the living room; three on the couch, one on the armchair and one on cushions on the floor. That was our headquarters. Well, we'd migrate to my bed every now and then when my DVD player would act up in the living room but that's pretty much all the movement we did all weekend lol

We watched a lot of telly - catching bits and pieces of different programs - and some specific stuff. We started with Being Human then moved onto films. The first one was stressfull and depressing - albeit gorgeous - and it's a good thing we started with that one because, wow, not exactly light material. I'm talking about Enduring Love, for those reading this.

Then we watched Boy Culture which is a film you should all watch because a) queer film b) very sexy story c) very gorgeous characters d) adorable storyline e) funny moments f) hot scenes and g) see a b c d e and f.

To prove how great Boy Culture was; throughout the whole week-end and even when we were watching tv, we would always pass Charlie around - sounds dirty, eh? - and always go on-line, check our mails, look for stuff we wanted to share with the others. Boy Culture began and we were still going on-line then suddenly Charlie was put aside because there was no way we wanted to risk losing a minute of it. That's how good it was!

Because the internet is All Kinds of Awesome, we downloaded Stardust and watched it too...

On Sunday, we got up a bit late - well, Jem and I went to bed at 6.00 AM on Thursday, then we all met Morpheus at 3.30 AM the rest of the days, so... - and left the house, as I said earlier.

And once back home we watched High School Musical - which was so funny! - and Mean Girls. Yes, with Lindsay Lohan. Well, dude, I really enjoyed that film. Very funny and cute.

And of course we chatted and goofed around and talked about LJ and fandom and slash and the mysteries of the universe and shared links and just did what fangirls do ;-) Oh and we ate. A lot. A lot of junk food too. I'm totally eating salad all week!

Jem posted some pics, including two of my fridge. Why do I love my fridge? - ( Because it's slashy and it has dirty scrabble/crosswords on it )

Update on the job hunting front. Well, zero. Or else you'd have seen a squeeing post somewhere along the line, as you can imagine :-) The last replies I got - whenever I do get a reply, which usually just doesn't happen, and how I hate that, when they don't give any kind of answers - told me that my background and profile were interesting even if it didn't get me any appointment. Still, the very last reply I received - ie today - said that they'd keep in contact because said profile did interest them and if something new came up, they'd get back to me. Not that I'm expecting anything per se, but it's still nice to know.

I mean, as I see it, I can either look at the negative side, ie still no job so what do I care if they did find my CV interesting, or look at the positive side, ie at least a couple of those negative answers mentioned that my profile was interesting and so maybe one of these days I'm gonna interest someone enough that they want to give me my chance *nods*

Unrelated now. I went to see P.S. I Love You with moimoietmoi on Saturday and aww but I loved it! I'm such a sucker for that kind of stories. I mean, I'm always talking about dark fics and how the darker the better, but I also happen to be a marshmallow inside so give me a love comedy anytime and I'll just be gone! And P.S. I Love You was just the sweetest and so touching and funny and just, yeah, really sweet.

And don't even get me started on Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character. Omg! Most adorable, cutest, sweetest and sexiest character ever! Dude! ♥ ♥ Also ( cutting this in case it spoils it for someone )

I also really enjoyed the soundtrack. Which, incidentally, I'm listening to the atm. I mean, the torrent was there, you know?

Changing the subject again; I had no idea Moonlight would be so easy to pimp. I mean, I pimped it to crazybutsound first, with success. Then on Friday, Sam and I watched the first two episodes and she liked it enough to want to see the rest. So that's two successful pimping stories for a little show that is far from being stellar but which, yeah, is entertaining and all kinds of fun.

I also realised that I was still behind with that show so I caught up with it and, dude, being French, 1x12 really cracked me up. Next time I watch a documentary on the Revolution, I'll have a thought for Moonlight, promise ;-)

Transformers was seen today. I thought the film was OTT, cheesy, kinda lame and so very cliched but a) I wasn't expecting anything different, really and b) hee the autobots were so awesome that I didn't even really care too much. Plus, you're not supposed to take that kind of film seriously, so it's okay. Anyway, back to the autobots – though Optimus Prime was all kinds of awesome, my favourite was Bumblebee. Love you, 'bot! They all looked shiny and cool and I really loved them. Twas fun :-)

Also, how many familiar faces were there in that film! There was PB!Sucre! Las Vegas!Danny! And hee there was even Andrew!Buffy! Etc etc...

And now for something different, I offer fic. In a fandom that's sorta nonexistent, ie the show was cancelled after only eight episodes but, you know, sometimes the Muse decides to play and you just have to shut up and write what he wants, so here is my Traveler fic:

Title: Heavy Taboo
Pairing: Jay/Will/Tyler
Rating: R
Word Count: 5100+
Summary: It's two weeks after the ending of "The Exchange" - trying not to be too spoilery here - and the boys have to pick up the pieces of their relationship.
Spoilers: The whole season.

Thanks go to starwatcher307 who's always there to help me with my fics, even when she has no idea about the fandom she's reading *kisses*

( Traveler – Heavy Taboo )

I've just watched "All Hell Breaks Loose" pt 2 and there are no words for how happy Supernatural makes me. Just, no words, okay? ( In case it's not clear enough, I loved the episode aka spoilers for SPN 2x22 )

Yes. So much love for that show *happy sigh*

In other news: I saw Zodiac yesterday and really enjoyed it. I knew I'd like Jake Gyllenhaal and I was right but I wasn't expecting to enjoy another actor so much, namely Mark Ruffalo, whose portraying of Dave Toschi truly got to me, I thought he was awesome. So anyway, I'm glad we got to see that film :-) And also now I need to read Robert Graysmith's book *nods*

And now, off to sentinel_thurs to do my mody job *hurries*

Just got home from the theater where La Globule and I went to see Casino Royale. We've been wanting to see it for, like, a month and half - since it was released in France - and we never had the time. So today, after a good session of lazying around, we decided to be strong and left the couch. It was worth it, too, as I loved the film. It's a huge compliment coming from me because I'm not a James Bond fan at all. But this James Bond - I really enjoyed :-) And, dude, he has the most gorgeous eyes! So blue and shiny. It made me think of Jim and Blair and those shots they loved to make in TS where their eyes looked so bright it almost hurt... Daniel Craig could give them a run for their money.

Oh, that first pursuit? I think the guy is actually French - a Yamakasi, too. Twas cool *g* Well, if I'm not mistaken. Though the whole scene was great even if he isn't French, of course! [ETA: Ha ha! I was right - Sébastien Foucan is his name. And apparently he was part of the Madonna concert we've watched yesterday where he did some of the stunts... Fancy that. Oh look, here is a YouTube link of the aforementioned pursuit.]

Now, I just wish I could watch it a second time; in English. My cousin would have killed me if I'd even thought of asking for the original version so we saw the French one and now I long for the original. Oh well, next time *shrug*

It's funny going to the cinema on January, 1st - people all look sleepy and a bit subdued.

But anyway, the film rocked and I'm happy I finally got to see it :-) It was a nice way to spend the day, too - lazying around in the morning and going to the cinema in the afternoon. Just perfect *g*

PS: I've opened my mailbox today after a couple of days without doing it and iscaris, I've received your card, thanks!

PS2: Hey sockich? So you're using euros as of today?
