I just watched 3x16 and here be spoilers for one of my Most Favourite Season Finale to date - don't expect this to be coherent. )

So to sum up; there's no way I could textually render my love for that show. Or that finale ♥ ♥

I'll wait for the fics to be written now - both FPS and RPS - because, well, if you watched the episode, you know why.

Oh and it was fun seeing Megan Connor/Anna Galvin in SPN :-)

And on a RL now. I had my job interview and it went really well! The head of department said he wanted to hire me but that he has to take it with the Human Resource Department and with the Dean and stuff. Apparently he's a bit at war with them because he's trying to develop his department and needs more people but they're a bit reluctant. Let's just hope he'll get the last word. Especially as the guy actually told me that he had no intention of paying me minimum wage... If he gets a say in it, I'll be paid more than what I earned before! Due to my experience and competence and diploma. I think my eyes got very wide at the comment because I thought that kind of thing didn't exist at the Sorbonne! But it does! Oh, man, this would be so great! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed now. I should get an answer by the end of the month *fingers crossed*

I'm not sure why but I'm in the mood for some Dom/Brian fics. No wait, I know why; that's because I've seen a couple of enthuastic entries about the sequel and it reminded me that I sometimes dabbled in that fandom and so it made me crave some Dom/Brian. Except I must have lost my FatF folder before I got Dean and I have nothing left. I've found a comm and I'm busy tabbing fics but if you have some favourites, I'm all ears.

Also, I was going to ask for bottom!Brian but, I don't know, isn't that a prerequisite in the fandom? Mind you, with one half of the pairing being called Dom, it's no wonder :-)

Now that's out of the way. My job interview went well. Of course it can go well and not get you hired so I'm just playing the waiting game now. Boss Lady told me I'd get an answer - positive or negative - by the end of next week. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed till then. I saw a couple of my friends when I was there, too, and everyone is sending me good vibes. We'll see if it actually works *g*

Then I got home and watched a show I discovered yesterday. I'm not sure I'll follow it per se but every now and then, it could be fun. This is one of those times when I always feel like the only reaction I'll receive is the sound of crickets chirping but, whatever, it never stopped me before. So. Does anyone know - and like, if possible - Le Coeur a ses Raisons?

It's Canadian - funny thing is they actually take a French-French accent, as opposed to their French-Canadian ones, which is even funnier as today's episode had Tony Kavanagh in it and I was like 'ohhh he's speaking like us!' - and it's like the parody to end all parodies and it's 150% crack and, well, I laughed my ass off today. Though, come to think of it, I only slept two hours last night, so I'm still trying to decide whether that factor has to be taken into account.

Oh! Speaking of math? I watched the two almost-the-same-but-not-quite N3 promos and I LOVED THEM SO MUCH! They're just the cutest thing. Don and Charlie, that is. Oh, boys! *cooes*

Last week, a friend of mine who works at the Sorbonne called me to tell me that her head of department was looking for someone and that she'd given her my name, just in case. I thought it was awfully sweet of her to do so and I was hoping it would be sweet all the way, ie that I would hear from her Boss Lady soon. And she called today! I've got a job interview on Friday!

I'm not sure what the job is exactly, ie I don't know of all the details - well I do know something of extreme importance, namely that it has nothing to do with the job I had before, it's not even the same department at all, anyway - and it's not my Dream Job or anything but it sure beats a) unemployment and b) benefits - even though the pay is still crap - so if the interview goes well and she wants me, I'll say yes.

There's nothing better than the moment when you get a job interview; because everything is possible *g* I'll keep my fingers crossed now *fingers crossed*

And I also received a mail from 10th Planet telling me that they posted my confirmation letter for Asylum today ♥ ♥

All in all, many great news were received on this fine Wednesday :-) And now, to celebrate, I'm gonna watch the new New Amsterdam *nods*

After weeks of trying to find a date that would suit everyone, some of my friends and I finally had our Fondue au Chocolat Day. Imagine a regular fondue, except that instead of melted cheese, you have melted chocolate, and instead of dipping pieces of bread etc in it you'll dip biscuits and pieces of fruits and just whatever else strikes your fancy. We had different kind of dry biscuits with bananas and pears and meringue. Absolutely delicious *smacks lips*

The good food - and good company - made me feel better because I haven't been feeling that well this weekend. My body is acting weird, if you want to know. My hand and wrist - the left one, of course, or else it wouldn't be fun - have been hurting. The hand especially has been acting up; it's numb, then it's tingling, then it's hurting, and I usually have cold hands but I broke some kind of record this weekend. My first thought was 'carpal tunnel' but that's pretty much my first thought each time I feel the slightest pain in my wrist/hand, so I don't know...

And I've apparently discovered that I might be Jim Ellison's lil sister because my skin is hurting. That is, on my left arm. I'm not kidding; it's the oddest feeling but the slightest touch hurts; be it my fingers hovering, or the sleeve of my shirt. Odd. And not nice *makes face*

I'd better sleep tight tonight though because tomorrow... I have a job interview \o/ Let's not break out the champagne yet though because a) obviously I don't have the job yet and b) it's a temp job so it won't put a permanent end to my unemployed status, it'll just break it for a couple of weeks but! It's still exciting because a) job interview! Finally! And b) if I do get the job, it'll have to do with translating. Awesome :-) Now, let's just hope the English they need isn't some kind of specialised English type *fingers crossed*

Random Fact of the Day; the past week, I've seen three different characters in three different shows wear the exact same shirt. Josh in Kyle XY. Dude I Don't Know in Vanished - I don't watch that show, just caught a scene and I noticed the same shirt. And Random Chinese Refugee in jPod. Looked like a threadless shirt to me but I couldn't find it in the catalogue, so I guess I was wrong...

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 ;-)

I watched Addams' Family Values last night and omg! Baby!Charlie! Well, baby!DK. I'd seen pictures of him in the film before, but it was the first time I watched it and awww! And he looked younger than his age, too. It's really weird - though a lot of fun - to think of Charlie and Larry in N3 after seeing them in Addams' Family Values.

Nothing new under the sun here. I was speaking with a Random Stranger Guy yesterday who was saying he was going to enjoy being unemployed but, like I told him, I can't wait to find a new job myself because I've been officially off work for less than a month and I'm already feeling bored with that endless-weekend thing. It's not cabin fever because I'm rarely at home and when I am, it's because I wanted to, but still! Taking a decision you felt was good for you is one thing; accepting the consequences is another story *pout*

Oh, well.

Onto funnier things, now. I'm still writing my TS fic, which fills me with glee. Who knows when I'll be writing something new, right? Hmm? No, no, I promise I'm an optimistic IRL :-)

And speaking of writing, here's a little meme about writing. Even when you write, you can still talk about writing? Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] turps33.

Writing meme )

PS: I watched Friday's Night Live on Wednesday and it made me cry! That's not a good sign when a show makes me cry. It means I'm becoming attached to the damn thing, argh!
