Her Life is a WIP

I came home today to one of those wonderful little surprises that makes your life such a happy place - unbeknownst to me, the oh so wonderful oceana_ had made a copy of the first two episodes of Farscape and had sent them my way - I thought it was a quid pro quo, but no, it wasn't! I now have Farscape home! I mean, the beginning *g* This is also one hell of a good - so good that it's almost freaky - timing because I was talking about it not two days ago with yami_tai. Farscape is like Firefly, it had an urban legend status - ie, I've heard pretty much everyone talk and rave about the series but I'd never seen a single episode nor even a small excerpt. Nothing. After I got Firefly for my bday *hugs the hell of Tai once more* I only had one more urban legend to defeat... it's now done! I can't thank you enough oceana_, that was a very thoughtful gift *g*

Sadly, I only managed to watch the premiere so far - I know what I'll do tomorrow right after I'm back from work though *g*

So. ( First Impressions )

That's an interesting introduction.

The problem with first impressions? Is that you usually don't get a second chance to make them. But! It's not always a problem as such, because I'm intrigued enough and despite all *waves hands* that, I certainly want more - I mean, I'm getting into it. I know that if I keep watching, I might, like, get into it. oceana_? If I end up caving in and spending money on the DVD boxsets, I think I might hate you just a tiny bit. But damn, I've been peeking at aforementioned boxsets for the longest time now and didn't want to buy them because I had no idea whether I would enjoy the series or not and I couldn't allow myself to spend money on something I wasn't at least 80% certain about, and now... things might have changed. As if I needed new DVDs *rolls eyes*

Also I see everyone saying how much Vala and Cameron look like Aeryn and John? And I'm wondering, will I see it when I'm deeper in the show? Cause right now - and I know, I'm only one episode into it - I'm so not seeing it. Is it obvious? When you know those characters, I mean. I'm just curious *g*

Changing the subject now, and without the slightest segue:

Kirith Kirin is WONDERFUL! You know the point in a book when you know that you’re coming to the end, in a way you’re expecting to reach the climax of the story, you’re ready for it, and ready for the aftermath… it’s not that you can’t get any new surprise, far from it, but you think you know what to expect - to a certain extent, ie not plot wise as such but feeling wise, maybe. You're telling yourself, this is it - this is the end, they'll certainly make me feel things more deeply than before in the story because it's the end, but I'm ready for it, bring it on. Well, that’s exactly when Kirith Kirin totally blew me away - I was expecting a lot of things, but this? Never! ( Spoilers )

I'm not usually into stories about wizards and immortals and all, but since Jim Grimsley told the story, I decided to give it a try, because sometimes you love an author enough to trust him completely, even when dealing with themes you're not so keen to read. And I was right. ( I love the way he writes his magic ) Well, it's pure Jim Grimsley, in a way *g*

Now off to read the transcript of Farscape 1x01 before going to sleep, because aliens speaking English aren't always the easiest creatures to understand for me, and I don't want to miss out anything.
