Her Life is a WIP

I finally plucked up the courage to watch the pilot of The Walking Dead - good thing Miss G was with me, I couldn't have done it on my own omg #IsAWuss - and it stressed me out in places, no lies, but I loved it nonetheless. When talking about the show the other day, moimoietmoi described it as 'very human' and I agree, it is - which is quite ironical considering the show deals with zombies.

I've never read the comic book so have no idea what is in store for us (if they follow its storyline, I mean) but I think I'm in for the ride. As long as I have my pillows to hide behind when it gets too scary for me, I should be all right :-p

Last night was less stressful tv-wise as we did a mini Merlin (series 3) marathon... we're now up to 3x06, I think. It felt good getting back to Camelot! It had been too long since we'd followed the show. And I think I'll ask Miss G if she fancies some more Merlin tonight. It should balance things out nicely - scary flesh-eating zombies story followed with epic love story between a king and his sorcerer. Yes. [Though, first, Italian homework!]

And for some unrelated news, we're looking for a show to see when we'll be in London at the end of January and apparently Wicked should be playing at the time, so we might be looking into that *fingers crossed*

Omg, you guys, I'd forgotten the sheer joy of writing a fic! Forgotten the pleasure of turning words into sentences into scenes into paragraphs into chapters! The flow of words on the screen, the scenes taking a life of their own as they start to fill the page, I'd forgotten how wonderful it all was! But thanks to Merlin, I've been reminded and it is good :-)

I decided to close the file and take a break, though, when I wrote 'kink' instead of 'king' one time too many, as well as "boyband" instead of "boyhood". I think my subconscious was trying to tell me I was starting to tire a bit. Or it was trying to tell me it wants me to read maybe bandom and/or under-age kinky fics. I'm still not sure.

And look at the reward I got for writing one more chapter to my fic: Panic at the Disco Live in Chicago DVD trailer! Heee boys! Heee documentary! *wants* *that is, even more than before* I still haven't ordered it, btw, would you believe it? It's just that I can't decide - limited edition or regular edition? I know it sounds like it's a no brainer but sometimes I create dilemmas even though there should be none. I need help!

Oh and speaking of DVD of Awesomeness and, in this case, of Merlin'ness - someone posted some teasers for the DVD extras and I cannot wait for the complete 1st series box set to be released! They are going to release the whole series in one box set, right? I don't want the two volumes! I want one shiny box set to gather them all! Except in order to have that, it means the first series has to be over and I refuse to think of that time when we won't have brand new Merlin on our tv every week!

Unrelated now. My brand new favourite thing to do atm? Wait to go from 11.59PM to midnight and watch the universe change right before my eyes. Or, if you want to be un-poetic, wait for gmail to change my 'planets theme' picture to the new one. I'm totally smitten with my theme, it's so gorgeous!

Slow day at work today. Tomorrow is bank holiday and many people took their Monday day off so that they could have a four-day weekend. No such luck for angeliksmall and me, but I don't mind that much. I'll admit that this morning was a bit difficult - I sorta had a problem with my alarm clock and I'm pretty sure I only started to really wake up when I was in the train on my way to work - but a) I'll sleep in and laze around tomorrow and b) seeing that so few people are here, we don't have as many stuff to do as usual. And we can take our time doing it. Which is why I'm writing this entry and Cookie is, wait a sec *asks her* ha! She's writing hers lol

I had a nice weekend and did everything I'd planned - Starbucks was visited (twice), shopping was done (I bought the cutest kilt - I just need to be in the mood to wear skirt+boots now) and Quantum of Solace was seen. I liked it. It was entertaining. And Daniel Craig rocks in that role. Then again, I'm not a James Bond purist, so that might be why I enjoyed the two new films in the franchise.

Merlin was watched, too. "The Beginning of the End" was another great episode. I'd say I'm enjoying that show immensely but it would be a bit redundant? Oh, what the hell, hee I'm enjoying that show so much! So much that it made me write a fic, remember? That's pretty remarkable. I'm 2250+ words into it, btw. Actually, the first chapter is done and if I suddenly found myself facing writer's block again, I think I'll be able to post that part. It works on its own.

As I see it, it's a bit as if I'd decided to bake a cake with several layers and only ended up doing one. The cake would still be good - that is, to my taste - and not look stupid so if I realised I had nothing left in the kitchen to do the rest, I'd still serve it. Because one layered cake can be good, too!

Well, that's my story - literally, I guess lol - and I'm sticking to it :-)

Oh, and D-4 before yami_tai arrives in Paris! We'll be busy girls: Friday night is The Hoosiers concert, then on Saturday we're planning on going to Pierrefonds with angeliksmall and jedicathy for a little Merlin pilgrimage.I'm hoping we'll get some nice pictures. Let's just it won't rain! *fingers crossed*

That'll make it my third Fangirl weekend in a row. I swear my other friends are gonna think I decided to trade them for a more fannish version of them lol

Merlin pimping was a success! We watched the first three episodes in a row last night. I wanted crazybutsound to watch 1X04 too but it was close to 1.00 AM and because I'm quite tired these days, I was having trouble keeping my eyes open. So we admitted defeat and went to bed.

I promised her we'd watch Slashiest Episode Ever and Let's Have a Threesome - respectively 1x04 and 1x05 - tonight, though, which is what we're doing. We're now at 1x05.

Incidentally, and to make sure we're on the same page, I asked Jem if she agreed with the fact that 1x04 was slashy and she went "hell yes!" Then again, I don't see how you could say it wasn't. I'm impatient to see her reaction when Arthur and Merlin decide to spice their sex life up a little and try the Threesome Experiment! *is excited*

We're keeping SPN for tomorrow. I know it sounds like a blasphemy but I'm pretty tired and I want to be 100% awake for that. So.

Tonight was very sweet, actually. crazybutsound joined angeliksmall and me after work and we had ourselves a nice little Starbucks - which was a nice reward for us because it was another hectic week. Oh, and I got a Venti instead of a Grande after they screwed up my order. It doesn't have anything to do with anything but life is full of small pleasures like that :-)

I'm writing this at 23h33 - 24-hour-clock speech just for you glitterandlube - but I'll wait till it's midnight to post it so that I don't have two posts on the same day. I have issue with that. Which is very odd as a) I love it when my flist is spammy because it means I'll have more to read and b) since I like an even number of comments on my posts, you'd think that having 2 entries instead of 1 would also make me happy. But no. I can't explain it, okay?

Anyway! Why am I writing another entry so soon after the previous one? Two reasons! No, three reasons, but the first two are the important ones.

Reason #1 - this is addressed to the Merlin lovers on my flist who might have missed it, and to all those people who might be a bit curious about Merlin - because we Merlin lovers never shut up about it and, btw? We're not sorry - and need a little push. Said push could be this vid. Absolutely lovely! And spoilery, I suppose, as it obviously uses scenes from the episodes that aired so far but, well, it's a vid, so...

As for the choice of song? I'll admit I was a bit skeptical at first because, okay, there's all kinds of 'you're so oooh' and 'so aaaah' 'doodidoo' and also 'you came into the night and stole my heart' and other kind of harlequin, cheesy lyrics, but! It's pure genius. And it totally makes me want to dance. And it so works! And now I cannot.stop.listening. And watching the vid. Oh, yes. Arthur/Merlin is almost unbearably cute.

And speaking of, Merlin has the cutest facial expressions! One of my favourites is at 2:08 - not that I, like, checked or anything. It's pretty subtle but I'm smitten with it.

Reason #2 - I watched SPN 4x05 and boy! So brilliant! ( Spoilery flailing behind the cut )

In conclusion, I want to hug that episode and squeeze it and call it George! Oh, and I might have read next episode's summary? And I'm a little bit IMPATIENT to see it now *grabby hands*

Reason #3 - I forgot I wanted to ask something in my previous post. Would anyone have Rock'n'Roll Train by AC/DC and be willing to share with me, please? Tia!
