this is not the droid you're looking for

001. So I don't understand Tumblr. I admit it. I have no idea what the point is or what it's for. Is it just like a blog? Even if someone were to explain it to me, I can't promise I wouldn't continue to be confused.

002. I still haven't found any books in present tense. You Shall Know Our Velocity turned out to be just plain old past tense. Though, I'm still thinking of reading it. I also got this book Rendezvous in Black which looks like it might be a fun read.

003. I was working on this Dollhouse video about two months ago and just gave up. I don't know if I'll ever finish it or any other vid, ever again. It's sad. But possibly true.

004. Regarding Dollhouse. I'm slightly disappointed in the season thus far. I keep waiting for this to turn into a full-on ensemble and it's still just the Echo show. And call me crazy, but the Echo show mostly bores me. (As does the Paul show.) I almost think I wish TSCC would have been renewed instead. It always seemed like a toss-up, but not right now.

005. I really really like Eastwick. Well, maybe I just like Stars Hollow. Haha. Either way, I'm having fun watching this show.

006. I may have signed up for apocabigbang which is just the most hilarious thing ever. I haven't picked a fandom yet, and it's possible I'll chicken out at the last second. But yeah, it's a thought.

007. Stargate Universe. I don't hate it. I am curious to see more. I enjoyed the first three episodes. I like a lot of the characters. I'm just confused and intrigued enough to make this a regular thing.

008. I don't know if I've even talked about it on my LJ before but I was watching The Big Bang Theory at the end of last season. I think I've officially decided that I am going to give it up this season though. I'm just not laughing. Never was much of a sitcom person. Though Community and Modern Family are definitely making me laugh a lot this season.

009. I watch too much TV.

010. I know I promised/discussed a "life" post, but this is just as good right?

3) Aw, but I wanted to see it! The first ten seconds looked awesome ;)

4) I don't care about Echo or Paul. Which is why I didn't even bother with last week's episode past glancing at it every time I saw Michael Hogan or Topher said something funny. Don't. Care.

Dollhouse video all gone? Oh noes! I just started kinda watching that show. It does look really good visually and must be a treat to vid. Do you need encouragement? What I like about vids is that you can make it the show you want. You can make it an ensemble show if that's what you want. Yup.

I really did like your vids, but I understand if you've moved on. May I ask a silly question, but do you have Meant Well streaming somewhere? I recced it a few weeks ago and still think it's awesome. :-)

I think of your Jawyercita/California verse as semi-apocalyptic. Them against the world and surviving. Hmm. Now I want to reread your stories again, but I can't because you know, work. :-) But yeah, I always thought of the three of them in uncharted, unknown future territory.

There's such a thing as too much TV?

The last thing I read almost reached your requirement: the present action happened in present and was written in present, while past action or thoughts were listed in the past tense. Unfortunately it`s a Fantasy book - IDK if you`d be into something like that :).

Don`t worry, I signed up for the same Big Bang for some reason. We`ll see what happens, LOL.

Don't go and choose Glee for apoca! I think that challenge will be kind of easy, but that's from the perspective of scifibigbang.;)

[bebitched.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I signed up for apocabigbang before I had any idea what I was going to do. In retrospect that was probably a bad idea, but I'm working it out now.

I don't understand Tumblr either, what the hell is up with that? :P

YES!!! Don't get me wrong, I adore Eliza and I'm probably in the minority who doesn't think her acting is totally suck, but her character (and Paul's) just doesn't interest me! I have SO much more interest in Victor (!!!), Sierra, Boyd, Adelle, Topher, and heck, even Claire, and she's just a recurring guest star.

Let's hope it gets redirected toward the right path.

I hope Eastwick comes to Australia. I really want to see Paul Gross as the devil.

I know you're looking for a book, and I swear I'm not trying to plug myself, but if you want a quick fix of present tense, I do have one story written like that. It's one of my first fics, and it's centered around human!Anya.

I'm not much for comedy anymore either, these days. I saw the first episode of Modern Family. I did think it was cute, but I think I'm just going through a drama phase. (Maybe that's why, despite my best intentions, I still haven't gotten around to checking out Community...)

If you're up for an awesome new drama, and aren't already watching it, I strongly recommend FlashForward. It is crazy in the most awesome way possible. Did I say awesome enough? AWESOME!

1. It's spamming whatever you want! Mostly funny things or pretty things.

5. I'm happening to like it quite a bit, too. I like all three of the lead actresses.

7. I am liking it more than I thought I would. I see it growing to be better over time. Never places over the original Stargates but it IS still Stargate so I do love it.

8. Aw, sad. I think it's still hilarious. I'm laughing my butt off because there's so many geeky jokes! That I get!

9. I watch more.

10. Yes.

001 Never heard of it.

002 Don't remember if I ever read a present tense book (I've seen some fanfic in the present tense though). Do you know GrammarGirl's blog? She wrote an article about present tense books. Scroll to the bottom for a short, incomplete list of popular novels in the present tense. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/present-tense-novel.aspx

004 I may have to agree that Dollhouse 2 has been really slow. In retrospect the pacing is just as slow as the first season started. But after the fast changing latter episodes, we hoped they could keep the momentum. I heard that Dollhouse had an half-season guarantee BUT a cut in budget; I wonder if that short-changed the rest of the cast? Except for Echo, Paul, & Topher, the rest has have their hours cut short. There are episodes when Sierra, Victor, and even BOYD don't appear :( I wish they'd get to the business of the Dollhouse-mythology arc but alas, it still seems engagement of the week blahs.

005 Stars Hallow? Like Eastwick might crossover with Gilmore Girls???

006 apocabigbang sounds interesting - I haven't heard of it before. Might be a gentler alternative to NanoWriMo.

009. NO! really? (Well, guilty here too!)

001. I have no idea either. I think it's a blog.

002. I may have a book for you, but I have to find it on one of my many unorganized bookshelves.

003. I want to see it! Please? If I beg will that help?

004. I liked the first episode of season two for obvious guest star reasons. I haven't watched any after the second episode.

008. I want to give Big Bang Theory a try but it doesn't really seem that funny to me, or maybe I just don't get the jokes. LOL.
