Feels like I've been coming down with something except not and between you and me I'm almost ready for the cold to show its cold'y head because this 'I feel fine, now I don't' is getting a bit annoying *glare*

Also, don't you laugh but I think Clark is coming down with something too; he's been doing some weird stuff as well. Though, know what? If I think about it, I'm pretty sure it started when I changed his desktop and I'm thinking... [whispers] I'm thinking Clark might be overwhelmed by Jensen's hotness, you know? I think he's totally in love with him. [/whispers] Not that I'm crazy or anything, of course!

For the newbies around here? Clark is my computer. It has to do with Superman somehow but it's not a reference to Smallville. I could give you the whole story behind his name, but I ramble enough as it is, I think *cough*

Speaking of - when my job at the Sorbonne will be over I'll definitely miss my co-workers because I'm not used to being surrounded by tv whores who are not part of the lj crowd and, wow, it's so much fun!

Also for the record, I'll ask Kripke to give me a salary of some sorts because I'm totally selling his show to every French person I get my hands on, and that long before the show is even a blip on anyone's radar and - yeah, okay so I don't need any kind of money for that because sometimes it feels like talking about Supernatural and Dean and John and Sam is as natural as breathing but still! He could be grateful... and send me Jensen Ackles' autograph? Since I'm pretty certain he wouldn't send Jensen Ackles himself.

It's only the 3rd of September and I already have the shivers each time I think of the 28th - the next weeks should be fun \o/

I had the laziest day yesterday, cruising the net pretty much non-stop - or with a short break in the afternoon but only to re-watch "Faith". Sometimes lazying around is just the way to go *nods wisely* I might also have watched the s2 premiere promo a couple times more. Maybe. If maybe means 'you can bet your slashy ass that I did!'

Also, I went to Play.com to see what they had to offer re: SPN DVDs and I had the surprise to see that they apparently plan on releasing the R2 version next month. I mean, they said 2/10/2006 - and though I always have to think for a second before knowing what they mean by this, ie either 2 October 2006 or 10 February 2006, in this case it was pretty obvious it was the former since hi, february would be 2007, thank you, Mousey. So anyway, if R2 is about to be launched, I think I can wait one more month. If I have the choice, I'll always pick R2 over R1. Except, okay if that's the complete series 1 this time, it does mean that we'll get the extras, right? Because I want those extras, yes I do!

Although, I don't think Amazon.uk mentions any release date for that box set, do they? So does anyone know anything about it?

PS: Last night I dreamt that Lorne from Angel French kissed Jensen Ackles to make Janet Frasier jealous and just - I'm still trying to make sense of it all because I have no idea WHATSOEVER why the hell I'd dream that. Well, okay no, that The Ackles was in my dream isn't surprising but Lorne? Janet? Jealous? Wtf, dude! I had some weird dreams over the years but this one? I don't know, it just makes even less sense than usual. Though I blame my flist because only something I read on my flist could make me come up with that kind of dream sequence.

PS2: New Job D-1. Oh boy!

First a Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] wisdomeagle, the girl of the gleeing fame - hope you'll have a gleeful day today *g*

Sometimes you'll be reading a fic and it'll blow you away - you'll reach a point when you're not sure whether it hurts so good or if it hurts, period but man, you're compelled to read it because you can't not stop, it's that good. Still, I had to go to the last part of the story I've been following and read the ending because I couldn't stand the pressure and I needed to know. Good thing I did too. And I'm telling you again, I wish people included some warnings on their fics *nods* Or include them at the bottom of the story so that people who hate warnings can ignore them and people who want to know what to expect may have the choice to check them out. But now that I've - willingly - spoilt myself, I can go back to the part I'd reached and read the rest - I'll just brace myself. I also know the whole Warning issue is old and in the end, if a writer doesn't want to include a warning it's obviously their right - but I have my preferences as well, so there you go :-)

Anyway.

Boy am I tired these days! Insomnia still hasn't left and yesterday I spent the day in a perpetual state of light-headedness. I also went through a phase of hyperactivity and er, sorry mom lol Didn't last long though. One of the best signs that tells me I really am tired - apart from the way that I'm light headed and, well, just tired - is when my sensitivity is amplified. So yesterday I was watching that documentary on people who "adopted" baby!bears whose mothers had been killed - don't know how you say baby bear in English, btw - and fed them and then freed them in a controlled environment since they couldn't return to the wild - each baby!bear then being adopted in turn by an adult bear, and there was this baby!b- wait! Would that be bear cub, then? Baby!bear sounds cuter though - so anyway there was this baby!bear - whose name was Charlie - who needed to be adopted by two mama!bears, Cassie and Louise and Cassie wanted him but Louise had problem at first and the "foster parents" had to let Charlie go but everyone worried Louise might hurt him and dude! You would have thought Charlie was my baby lol Also? The documentary was way more interesting that I make it sound, really *nods*

Oh and speaking of Charlie - yesterday's L&O: SVU episode was the one with Boone/Ian Somerhalder. So I was watching the episode which dealt with a guy raping his brother and then going on a raping and killing rampage and ending up in prison, and one of them was called Charlie and I said to myself: "Self? If you were someone else, you would take this episode as a sign that you need to stop writing incest." Fortunately, I'm not that person ;-)

And I'm thinking everyone else will be glad when I'll be able to sleep properly again, right? lol

Early classes will be the death of me! Note to self: sleep at night. More than three hours, if possible *yawns* There's no way I'll skip class this afternoon but, boy, I would love to *rubs eyes*

Yeah anyway. I watched Supernatural last night *loves*

Well, *loves* but *shudders* too - Spoilers for Supernatural 1x05 - Bloody Mary )

Scariness all around, yay!

Hey wanna share some of your Fear of the Dark kinda fears? Like okay I'm afraid of mirrors - can't sleep well if there's one in the room. I also can't sleep on my back because someone could stab me in my stomach omg! Am not kidding either - even as a kid, that was the reason why I couldn't sleep on my back at all, this fear. As I grew up I compromised with myself and decided that if I had a pillow on aforementioned stomach I could accept the position but it was a hard bargain, believe me. Also, in case you're wondering why I just didn't leave myself alone as my natural sleeping position is either on my stomach or my side anyway, I'll answer that during summer - in particular when I was in Italy - when it's really hot, sleeping on your back is better, so there - also, when falling victim to a bout of insomnia, I need to try all kind of different positions [which sounds so much better when we're talking about sex, btw] So anyway, after the no-way phase and the okay-but-with-a-pillow phase, I upgraded to no-pillow-anymore... except I put my arms on my belly, still. Just - I need something, you know? Or else I won't fucking sleep! Because I could be stabbed! And okay if you feel like sharing you fears with me? Be my guest ;-)

To change the subject now and on to something sweet and fun and hot - not that the Winchester boys aren't hot, mind - here's a little TS rec. [livejournal.com profile] spikedluv loves diversity. She also loves us, which is why she shared her last piece of writing with us, which is Jim and Blair on Atlantis fic. Jim and Blair on Atlantis, yes, but Jim and Blair on Atlantis doing transporter sex! Not kidding, either. They're sexing up in the transporter... with possessive!Jim to boot. I'm adding that little detail in case you're a possessive!Jim lover like me... Go on, read!

Reason Why I Love LJ #14526: because this is the only place where you can innocently go through your flist and suddenly find yourself in front of a Certain Post about bukkake and penguins - I'm not even making that up. Also, as if it wasn't enough, this is the same place where you follow links that are being offered and suddenly? You know how to say footjob, sexual intercourse, titfuck, handjob and female orgasm in Japanese - and because we all need to know how to say those things, here the - supposedly correct - translations: ashikoki, nakadashi, paizuri, shiofuki and tekoki. Now, I never studied Japanese and the only words I know come from anime so, like, if those terms are wrong? You can tell me. At this point, I'm even wondering whether not knowing how to really say "footjob" in Japanese would be a bad thing.

Didn't have time to download Lost - but it's okay, I was kinda totally immersed in my Kaamelott episodes and some of them are re so fucking hilarious that I kinda choked at one point. It's just - well, you'd need to watch the thing, really but I LOVE KAAMELOTT MORE THAN EVER omg! I need to make caps! And best thing is, I won't even have to make up insane dialogues to go with them - Kaamelott has all the material needed *loves crazy show*

Speaking of shows - so there's another show premiering this week, namely NIH: Alertes Médicales aka Medical Investigation and I can't say I was that impressed because, well, I've never heard of that series and it usually doesn't bode that well for it but then I was watching the promo and dude! Christopher Gorham is in it! And I mean, okay so I'm seriously not expecting to be blown away by the show - like not at all - but I'll definitely try it at least, because Christopher Gorham! And it'll be over soonish anyway seeing there's only one season? Hex seems to be almost over as well - though it just started - but know what? I'm kinda pleased because I'm hoping counting on Numb3rs taking the place of one of them so... *lits candles*

Unrelated #1: Cold Case keeps breaking my heart. Tonight's episode was so sad!

Unrelated #2: I watched read the latest episode story over at [livejournal.com profile] ats_nolimits and they're breaking my heart too! They're killing me!

So hey, today I learnt how to say dirty words in Japanese, I laughed at the insanity of Arthur and his buddies and I got my heart broken in tiny pieces with tv and fandom - what a great day!
castalie: If you know who made this icon, please tell me so that I can properly credit? Tia (Straight Line / dubhartach)
Showers taken today already: 2 (argh) People I wanted to kill on my way back home: 3 (v.g) Time I spent crying and whining in my head about the fucking heat on my way back home: total of two hours and fifty two minutes. Years I want to spend worshipping my fan: a hundred? Minimum.

Without the slightest segue: what I love with The Best Friends is how much attuned to my different addictions they are, even the new ones. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that I chatter and ramble and prattle about aforementioned addictions pretty much all the time, but they could tune me out, right? Except they don't and they remember them all. Even when they're on their own and everything. And like, Rissy? Paid me a little visit yesterday evening to give me my bday presents and it was Starbucks goodies! So among other things I now have my very own Stabucks mug, yay! Actually she was cute enough to even ask for the Stabucks cups, you know the ones - yeah the regular cups, I love them, so sue me. With my name and everything! That was too sweet for words. And I also have a Starbucks tin box. Random Fact #4512 about The Mouse: I love tin boxes. Well, I love boxes in general, but tin boxes in particular.

And some pointless meme now.

What Slanguage Do I Speak? )

25% of prison slang only? So what? Oz didn't teach me anything? *hides in shame* And I didn't do that good on the rest either come to think of it - apart from British slang which wasn't so bad... Apparently, my flist doesn't use slang enough, you don't teach me the good stuff! *glares*

And I finally got used to using the tags. Maybe I won't do it all the time but still. I could store all my fics on a page, like my very own site on LJ, prettier than the memories, I mean - since apparently I don't really care that much about my real site anymore. Odd that btw, at one point, I was always there, updating this, tweaking that. Such is life on-line, I suppose *g*

Tim Tams! I've got Tim Tams! [livejournal.com profile] babycakesin the parcel finally made it home! And what a parcel wow! CDs, yummies. Thank you, honey! *ogles Tim Tams some more* I mean, dude! You outdid yourself! Cause know what, guys? There were four different kind of Tim Tams in there! Original, Dangerous Liaisons, Double Coat, Chewy Choc Budge and just... is there anything better than chocolate? Wait, I know the answer to that one! Oh yeah, rumours have it it's sex... except I'm not really sure. Not right now at least because TIM TAMS! So of course I already ate one - followed your instructions to the T, too - and decided I needed more practice, you know? So if you really want to do the math, I sorta ate more than one. I also decided that after I'm back from my exam this afternoon, I'll snuggle up in bed and OD on Eddie Izzard while eating Tim Tams. You're so the best, chérie! And there's more to come? Heee! That is all, thanks *g*

Because every TS fen is doing this quizz and because there's no way in hell I'm letting them have all the fun without me [and because I wanted my own pretty picture] here the Classic Story Role I Play. And not that I'm complaining about the result but I wanted to be the Wayfarer Guide *pout* )

Still, I travel my own path, man!

Also, remember when I swore on my pretty floral bonnet that I would finish Firefly soon? Well, I did. I caught up with the rest of the episodes and wow! I mean... I already loved the series pre-"Ariel", right? But I don't know, it seemed the episodes after that one were even better somehow and I enjoyed that second part even more. Which is saying something. Also also, as incredible as it sounds, I started seeing Jayne differently after "Ariel" and suddenly... not that I loved him or liked him or whatnot, but I saw him for good. There's something, here. So yeah.

Two things I love with Joss Whedon [okay, among other things] are a) how he always mixes the funny and the intense and b) how he's not afraid to address violence and sex. It's not that I want violence and sex in shows I watch, but I always dislike how most shows gloss over those aspects even when we're dealing with adult characters in a violent world. It's always ridiculous to forget both. So when I watch Firefly and I see war scenes and battles and torture scenes or when there are mentions of sex, rape, prostitution, well as disturbing as some of those themes can be, it just makes the whole thing more real because yeah, in a world like the one where the characters of Firefly live in, that's how it is. Also for the record? How much did I love that there were boy whores in "Heart of Gold"? A lot. Well, that's one way of putting it, of course.

Aïe-euh!

Fucking ouch! So I check my mail this morning and heee! I find several parcels for me. So I run to the kitchen to open them and two of those are early birthday presents! So I'm all excited at the prospect of having two more pressies to open on Friday, right? And see, when I use *bounce* in my entries and my mails and whatever, I sometimes tend to forget the reality of it. As in, how one can, indeed, physically bounce - I don't know why I forget this, but there you have it. Except I'm not consciously deciding that I'm going to bounce, right? It just happens. Without any conscious thought on my part. Well you know the feeling, anyway. And in my kitchen? We have this - how do you call that stuff, extractor hood? It's here... above my head and I'm totally not thinking about it because hel-lo I just received T.W.O presents! For me! From my flist! And so It happens and I bounce, and the first bounce? Is always the most powerful and before I even know what I'm doing BAM! Top of head meet extractor hood. Dude! That noggin of mine took a beating with that one, I saw stars! It still hurts *pout*

Why do I tell you this? No reason, I'm taking a break from my books and rambling always relaxes me *g*

So okay I? Am sorta kinda the superstitious type as far as birthdays are concerned and just, you don't wish someone a bday before the right date, and you certainly don't open a present before the right day, so I'll wait for Friday to open them and all, but I can thank you for thinking of me right away, it's safe, right? So [livejournal.com profile] yami_tai and [livejournal.com profile] french_hobbit, thank you SO much! *kisses* I can't wait to be on the 27th *bounc-- looks around... checks cyber life is safe - bounce*

Changing the subject - feels like every show is coming to an end these days. Thank god for Queer as Folk being there and SG S9 coming in July - or else, talk about a tv-depressing summer! Of course we're getting Lost said summer here but well, though I am curious to see how they're going to deal with Some Details I Won't Mention Here For Fear of Spoiling The Innocent, I don't know if I'm going to like the French version. Just because of those Particular Details. They could play havoc with the story once translated. That will be interesting all right.

Oh and speaking of tv and fandom and stuff, it seems I've been tagged re:a Fandom Meme. As if I could resist that!

Fandom Meme )

And let's say I'm tagging [livejournal.com profile] turps33, [livejournal.com profile] enigel, [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer, [livejournal.com profile] fangirl1981 and [livejournal.com profile] _nightelf.

Oookay, I think that's enough rambling for today *g*

Just realised that we're the 22nd! Joyeux Anniversaire to [livejournal.com profile] whitevanilla. Hope you'll have a fantastic day! Also hope you're really feeling better by now *hugs*

I have the title for my fic! I'm so cool [/self-congrats] Can you imagine how fucking difficult it is to actually find a theory/theorem/whatever when all you have is a vague definition that you made up based on some ideas you had in your slash story? So the hypothetical search would have been the following "brothers+lovers+mutually exclusive". At one point I even had a flashback of my physics classes back in high school --or was that junior high school-- with the whole Pauli exclusion principle thing... because it had cool cool stuff like identical fermions being unable to occupy the same quantum space and I was like okay if I twist it and turn it, it could maybe work, only no, it couldn't and anyway I wanted maths not physics, though wait, they did mention quantum physics in "Uncertainty Principle" so why couldn't I do it too, right? Except it still didn't work anyway and holy shit but why couldn't I just call my story the Don Fucked Charlie story and be done with it!

Also Mathematicians? Really don't speak like normal people. They speak mathematicianese only! So I'm browsing sites where I'm hoping to find some nice definitions of whatever principle I might fancy trying, read definitions I'll be able to understand and instead of using, you know, words they use shit like this ) - and I'm like, why, now that makes total sense, thank you so much. Btw? I hate you. Oh and this is the Schrödinger equation in case you're wondering. Next time someone says you don't learn anything useful in my LJ, please be so kind as to direct them to this post. Except useful? Might be too strong a word for that kind of stuff, but whatever.

Anyway, since I'm on the subject of Numb3rs fic, I'm pretty happy to rec a new one here, written by none other than [livejournal.com profile] audrarose, namely The Arms of the Galaxy which is a beautiful story with a wonderful characterisation. I absolutely love it. Go on, click!

Changing the subject now [aren't you glad?] I'm uploading Japanese songs for [livejournal.com profile] babycakesin and I uploaded a first batch at YSI yesterday [and it felt so good being able to play with the site again, yay!] - since I'd hate for them to go to waste, I'm sharing them here too.

Batch of Sakamoto Maaya's songs: charming voice, beautiful and sometimes haunting tunes. If you're familiar with anime, you might recognise some of those. Batch is here )

And since I was there, I also uploaded two French songs from the band Indochine. They started their career in 1981 [they were in their twenties at the time] but they're still alive and kicking. First song is from 1983. Second is from 2001. Different songs, different styles but I like them both *g* Mini Batch is here )
