Her Life is a WIP

So summer is over, isn't it? I can tell because it smells like autumn, especially in the evening - which is a smell I love - the roasted chestnuts street vendors are back near the subway exits (it always smells so good and delicious when I pass before them), the leaves started falling on the ground... Oh, and it's cold! I started wearing my "autumn" scarf (the one that crazybutsound made for me); chances are I'll add gloves soon because my hands are always cold and I hate that. The "no-heating-yet-in-buildings" is a bit annoying, though. At home I can add layers and snuggle up in fleece blankets, but I can hardly do that at work. Sadly. Still, I'm not complaining because YAY COLD! I love it so ♥

And, of course, most of my shows are back and new ones are starting so that's a clear sign that summer is over :-) I've watched the SPN season premiere and I'd written a little review but I lost it in the ether and I'm too bummed about it to write it again - about losing the review I'd written, I mean, not about the episode. I liked the episode, as painful as it was to watch for reasons you'll get if you've watched it.

I also gave a try to Hellcats because shows/filmds that deal with cheerleading squads are one of my - numerous, admittedly - weaknesses. So basically having Bring it On turned into a tv-series or, if you will, having a cheerleader-version of Glee was too good to miss. I don't know yet whether I'll watch every week but I'll definitely download and maybe make a marathon out of it. Here's a vid of the cheer at the end of the second episode, just because.

Oh and something unrelated but that needs to be said... Inception? As awesome the third time as it was the first. And apparently I'm more than ready for a repeat performance. For the fourth time, yes. Bring it on!

I totally found the solution to clear up my schedule and find time to catch up with my shows! Be sick (another cold), cancel Saturday plans et voilà; Supernatural and FlashForward and White Collar have been watched \o/

So I watched SPN 5x10 and ( spoilery reaction inside )

We'll have to wait till January for the rest, now? SPN, you do kill me all the time! I watched the promo for 5x11 and I'm quite impatient to see what the actual episode will be like *bounces*

I also watched White Collar 1x05 and that show continues to be the cutest thing. I'm completely in love with the Pete-Elizabeth-Neal clan. In some scenes, it feels like Neal is Pete's unruly and annoying little brother, but one that Elizabeth and Peter love anyway, because they know he's good people - they're just waiting for him to be good all the time, is all. ( some other stuff, which I'm hiding in case it gets spoilery )

And something else I love? How Neal is smaller than Peter! I mean, I always thought the guy was really tall because in Traveler he looked like a giant next to his pals but here he's the one looking up and just, yay! My size difference kink, let me show you it :-)

FlashForward now. It made me so happy! I'd been waiting for that backstory since the show premiere and it was even better than I thought! ( Spoilers for FF 1x09 )

I know there were other story-lines but er, I sorta focused on theirs, sorry - so this was a 100% biased not!review. It happens.

As for now *checks clock* I have some time before heading off to Paris so I'll catch up with Glee *nodnod*

I had my moment of fame and glory last night during a tv show blind test that was one of the games we played at tbf!Sandrine's birthday party. I had the highest score with a total of 20/18 - I actually missed one opening theme but got additional points for finding titles in, like, two seconds flat? But I'm sorry, there are no known (or unknown) universe where I wouldn't recognise the ST:TOS opening theme, even if it's just one note! Guys, you'd have loved being there.

I got home this morning, cleaned the flat (it sorta really really needed it? Well it's done now \o/) and then OD'ed on tv shows ♥

SPN was watched first. And, ok, let me start with something that pretty much has nothing to do with anything? Except for how it's my duty (or my compulsion... maybe 'compulsion' is more accurate) to take note of every single time when SPN canonically agrees with me regarding my beloved Dean Is A Bottom theory. And, boy, this time? They went above and beyond! ( Spoilers for Sympathy for the Devil; don't click if you haven't watched the episode yet )

And some other comments - not having to do with bottom!Dean, promise. ( Couple of comments )

In a completely, completely different genre now. Omg, I'm so in love with TBBT and the gang (all of them, but with a special mention for Sheldon, cause hee Sheldon!), there are no words for it! Sitcoms are in a category of their own, so my love for that show is different from my love for, say, SPN, but I've started mainlining the second season and it's been glorious :-) The ending of "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis" had me laughing so hard that I was crying and I couldn't even see what was happening on the screen anymore. I remedied that by rewinding the scene, oh, a million times? Approximately, yes.

I meant to ask. I think photoshoots were done at Comic Con with the cast posing as Superheroes... I didn't really pay attention at the time but now regret not doing so. Could someone send me a link please? Yes, I'm lazy, sorry. And tia.

So. My Awesome French Posse Weekend? Isn't exactly happening as planned, as in it's not happening at all? Yes. Cramps 1 Mouse 0 *sigh*

It means I had to watch SPN 4x21 and 4x22 on my own. Man, SPN finales? Always make my heart beat faster. Literally. Who needs to go the gym when they can just watch the last episodes of a season of Supernatural ♥ ♥

( Dude! I only meant to talk about a couple of things re: 4x22 and it turned longer than planned. Oh well. )

Oh show, you never fail to make me the happiest of fangirls ♥ ♥

It's official now, it's hiatus time *pout* No Dollhouse - good news is that we should get a second season \o/ - and no Supernatural... Hiatus, why are you always so mean to us?

Unbelievable but I finally caught up with the two latest SPN episodes last night and omg! Someone needs to teach me a new way to say 'SPN killed me and I love season four beyond the telling of it' because I fear I sound like a broken record but, just, I can't not say it. It's true ♥ ♥

This season breaks me in the most delicious ways and I love it more each time. And it felt damn good to be back to watching SPN after being behind for, like, three weeks? More or less.

Changing the subject; working for the NTIC department is a lot of fun. Seriously. We're organising a new seminar and one of our tasks is to spread the news all around, using all kind of ways, and one of them? Is twitter! We have a twitter account dedicated to that little event. If that's not all kinds of awesome, I don't know what is :-)

PS: I successfully pimped My Chemical Romance to one of my co-workers and now I'm trying to pimp Chuck Palahniuk to him. A pimp's job is never done, dude.

It's ridiculous how tired I am these days! I'm hoping it's just a stupid phase and I'll feel less tired as November arrives because if I'm already this tired when I still have free weekends, what is gonna happen when Big Top starts and I start working 7/7 all of December? *glares at stoopid body*

turps33, you'll be happy to know we started talking about Big Top with my sister the other day. Our schedule is all set. And it'd appear it'll just be The Esu and me this time; no big crew made of pretty much ever family members my dad can kidnap find. It'll be weird just being the three of us under those big tops when we're used to being around eight but hey we'll make do :-)

I'm really sad though because we used to have this show with Merlin and Arthur - awesome, fantastic and gorgeous show with horses and knights and wizards and duels and whatnot - and we're not doing it anymore and it is very sad because I thought it'd have been really fitting, what with Merlin being all the rage and all that.

Speaking of Christmas - Big Top = Winter = Christmas, for those not in the know; SPN is going to spoil us tonight! First because, from the trailer, it should be a great episode, and second because of the little thing they're going to offer us after the episode if I got it right?

SPN, the gift that keeps on giving! ♥ ♥

And on the subject of gifts; it'd seem the Sex Corps 'verse has been updated so yay, pressie! And I see a new story in the Daddy Kink 'verse has been added so I'll go and have some Daddy kinky fun over there too! Oh, LJ, you're such an endless source of fannish entertainment! *kisses*

I watched SPN 4x02 and I'm so full of squee and glee over that show right now that I absolutely cannot concentrate and write a review. I'm so in love with those two episodes it should be declared illegal. As for my love for Dean? It can grow even more; I didn't think it was even possible! Oh, Dean! Heee, I missed saying that the past months! ♥ ♥

I just have one thing to say about this character whose name sorta looks like mine if you don't read it right, so I'll just say, ( something spoilery, which I'll cut )

Non-spoilery this time, but did Jared become taller or something? I swear my size-difference kink was all over the place in that episode.

Completely unrelated now. Something surreal happened today; I wrote 412 words worth of Panic fic. Not even kidding. I'm done with trying to write fics - it just never happens anymore - but writing those words down was pretty fun anyway. Also really weird because I don't write RPS, you know? Except when I do, obviously. Though technically there might be no pairing involved here. Anyway, it'd seem I'm still capable of writing something that is not LJ related. I didn't think it was possible anymore so that was delightful.

Happy Birthday simply_fly_away! Here's to a happy and fantastic day *cheers*

The software I use for most part of my job is on strike this morning... Not that I'm heartbroken over the fact but it does give me a valid reason to take a break and sneak in on LJ. Actually, seeing that many people I need to call are on a real strike today and those who aren't on strike are always 'out of their office for the moment', I'm not exactly overworked right this minute. Thank God for internet because after a while I'd get bored out of my mind.

Oh, hey, have you seen? Seems like the first spoilers for s4 have started already? I'm torn, seriously. On the one hand, I still believe being spoiler-free is all kinds of awesome, on the other - and seeing how 3x16 ended - it would maybe help my sanity to just have an inkling of what could happen in s4... except it might make things worse? Or not. Eek I don't know omg! I guess I'll just keep ignoring the spoilers... and wishing I wasn't a spoiler-free kinda fangirl.

Ohhh the coffee machine guy is here! I'll be able to get my cappuccino again; he's my hero! Actually, he is my hero because he's also into traditional medicine; he heals with his hands. And when he can't heal, he soothes the pain away. He's a great and interesting guy. Come to think of it, I totally should ask him about my back...

Anyway, am digressing. No wait, still on a RL note, I'm still waiting for a) my goddaughter to arrive - anytime soon but so far she's good where she is so... and b) for the Sorbonne to call me, though I know there's still a week to go but I'd love to know now because see, someone else offered me a job. It's an interesting job but it's half-time and for three months only, so I'd say 'yes' only if I didn't have anything more interesting financially elsewhere. Meaning I need to know about b before I can say anything to the woman.

I was sure I would get that kind of offer... it's a sort of universal law, isn't it? For months you'll be waiting for a positive answer and once you get a job interview, you have another offer. Now the one thing that might cause a problem is the timing. I'd hate to lose both offers because of it.. I think I'll just wait a couple more days - I'm well within the deadlines - and then I'll call people and ask around. Take things in hands as much as I can *nods*

... si tu veux que ton grain ait du poids.

That's the dicton du jour - the saying of the day? October 4th, what a lovely date, isn't it? It's the anniversary of the first run of the Orient Express, of the adoption of the flag of Bermuda and Snoopy's first appearance. October 4th is also the day the launch of Sputnik I happened. As well as the day the Fifth Republic of France was established.

Oh. And it's also the day WE GET OUR WINCHESTER BOYS BACK!

Ha, you so hadn't seen it coming, eh? I'm so smooth, dude \o/

The episode was offered by iTunes so some of you have already watched it, I've heard? I'll wait impatiently til Saturday to watch it myself as Sandrine is picking me up after work tomorrow and then spending the night at Teh Flat, it's the HSM Night, remember? My nephew will be with her; we'll have a cosy night, the three of us. I can't wait :-)

Speaking of great stuff; I've just read my Very First Pushing Daisies fic! It's Five Ways the Piemaker Doesn't Kiss Chuck. Yes, it's Chuck/Ned. Which, for those not in the know, means it's het.

Pushing Daisies is the new show that made me add yet another ship to my Ship List, right next to Lilah/Wesley and Dexter/Rita and, okay so I can't remember the other ships on that list right now but I swear I have more than just those two! Or three if you count Chuck/Ned.

Anyway, awesome show. Awesome ship. Awesome fic!

Before I start with my rambling; let me wish the Happiest and Best Birthday to a beloved member of the French Posse, french_hobbit! Hope you'll have a fantastic day, girl *kisses* I wish we could see more of each other because GD, Sam and I really miss you when you're not around but c'est la vie, I guess? *kisses some more*

Today is bank holiday so no work for us, whee! I'm seeing tbf!Rissy and if everything goes according to plan, we'll go and see Zodiac. I say 'if everything goes according to plan' because a) we usually have the worst luck as far as going to the cinema and seeing the film we originally wanted go and b) today is the day Zodiac comes out so I'm pretty sure it'll be packed. We'll see *fingers crossed*

Oh hey, have you seen those pics from the different Q&A at Asylum? I don't know what kind of camera patsie had and where she was sitting exactly but I don't think I've seen better - and more gorgeous - pictures of Jensen Ackles & Co, wow ♥ ♥ ninjetti75, if you haven't seen those entries, run, don't walk, and fall even more in love with your the man! And when I said Allison Mack is gorgeous? You'll see for yourself that I wasn't kidding. Not that it'll be anything new per se but still...

I watched Heroes yesterday. I liked it well enough, I just love how the show messes with our heads but I wasn't, like, killed ded by the thing. Still, I can't wait for the finale. And also, ( is that a sort of spoiler? I think it might be. ) I adore them together ♥ Speaking of Heroes, I've heard about the spin-off and the voting and I guess I'll watch it too because I'm curious about it. And if non-Americans can vote, I'll certainly try because chances are I will find at least one character to root for and wouldn't it be nice if they did join the original cast? Could be fun. Well, I guess so, we'll see how it turns out, anyway.

And speaking of Renewal of Love, SPN s3 is a go, woohoo! I couldn't wait for it to go official. Oh, boys, never leave us omg! *clings* I can't believe tomorrow will be the last episode before months. But I so cannot wait for it because the last episode was pure hell! Oh, Kripke, you magnificent bastard! *worships* Hey, since apparently Asylum 2 will be all about SPN - hee A2! All SPN! - wouldn't it be awesome if Eric Kripke and/or Kim Manners were there too? Well, if we get either/both Jared and Jensen, I mean. Or! Papa as well! Dude, a fangirl can dream, right?
