we are ugly, but we have the music

[krickets]

I am so behind on everything and then some more on top of that. Like Shameless. Don't even know how many episodes I've missed (Read: A lot.), but I recently saw some garbage on tumblr that makes me very, very upset. But I don't have time to be upset. I don't even have time to be writing this post, but I am saying fuck everything today and my only job is to do my laundry and pack for my trip. (Not true, not true! But I will try to make it as true as it can be.)

→ I started writing fic (Haven and The Killing) like 2 weeks ago but it's tucked away in some notebook somewhere... if only I could find it!

→ Ick! I listened to and absolutely hated Lana Del Rey's cover of Chelea Hotel No. 2.(And I normally love her.) If anyone else had the unfortunate pleasure of that I encourage you to cleanse your palate by listening to this random guy on YouTube killing it:

You're welcome.

→ Does anybody know anything about bonsai? I bought a 3 year old Jade bonsai tree from a street vendor yesterday. It was completely an impulse buy and cost me 25 bucks, which I feel like was probably pretty average? I'm going to have to look online or buy a book or something to figure out the care/pruning etc., situation. Completely clueless on that front.

→ I saw a preview for this new BBC America show, Orphan Black. Thinking about watching it. I'll have to DVR the premiere as I'll be out of town and I'm not sure if the cable company at the house we're staying will have the channel. Anybody hear about it? Is it supposed to be any good?

→ Guh. Before Midnight.

→ Oh, ETA! Distraction free smartphone thing? I am totally digging it almost 2 weeks later. I did re-enabl youtube on Monday though. (I at least lasted over a week without doing it!) That was exclusively for LBD though and now that it's over I suppose I could delete it again. I've enabled Safari periodically in the last few days for looking up a couple of random things in a pinch, but I've turned it off right afterward each time. I kind of like it better this way? I am still debating on whether or not to re-enable echofon. Maybe later...? Maybe not.

this is a mostly pointless comments that serves just to say that i'm 100% with you on being behind on things.
in fact, at this point, i've just more or less accepted the fact that i dropped most of my shows lol

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's true for me as well. I don't watch nearly as much stuff as I did this time last year. Some shows I have barely watched all season. Maybe that's better. Less distraction from... All my other distractions. Hahaha.

[wolfgenes.livejournal.com]

same!!! all the better for more comic reading and book reading and movies in general >:D

[hypertwink.livejournal.com]

OMG, Shameless! It's been (shamelessly lol) good. Can't wait for you to watch and react =)


Speaking of BBC, have you watched In The Flesh? Basically, they found a cure to being a zombie (well, kind of) and former walkers are rehabbed and sent back home. It's like Warm Bodies but without the neat happy ending. It's great.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I will watch. SOON.

Anyway, no I haven't seen that series. I haven't even heard about it. I am woefully out of the loop these days. :( I'll have to check their site.

Haven fic! Haven fic! Haven fic!

[lara (from livejournal.com)]

YAY! You wrote Haven fic! I hope you can find it cuz I REALLY want to read it! I love your writing style. :)

GAH, YOU LIKE BEFORE MIDNIGHT?! AND THE WHOLE BEFORE SUNRISE TRILOGY? *FLAILING* THOSE FILMS = ALL MY FEELS! I've been toying on and off with the idea of a Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight-esque Haven fic, but I would not know which pairing to chose! Audrey/Duke or Audrey/Nathan? I can write both, but I'm not sure which is best suited for this kind of AU. I've written Before Sunrise/Sunset AU for another fandom, but not for Haven yet. I have seen the Before Midnight trailer 6 times already. Ethan and Julie have me by the heartstrings no doubt!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Okay. All day I have had this nagging feeling that it's in my car. Going to wander out there and get it in the next few minutes so maybe if it turns out I like what I've written and don't have to write everything over, I can get it finished and posted by tonight. We'll see!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you! I am gonna go check my car for it in a few minutes actually! So you're in luck. :)

Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes.

I would obviously choose Audrey/Duke and to compromise you could have Nathan/Audrey in the background. Then Audrey/Duke could be the romantic pair that never could make it work because of time/distance what-have-you. Yes. *Nods vehemently*

[dr-ducktator.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo!

Or, idk, listen to Leonard Cohen. ;-)

Just 3 eps (already showed 2), and then BBC'll decide if they want to continue. Kinda like how Being Human started (except that was just a pilot). Critically, it's a hit -- from what I've read; I just don't know about the ratings.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Love the songwriting. Not the voice.

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Be that as it may! His version is still better than hers.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

That, I cannot disagree with.

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Good, because that was my only point! ♥

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

I heard something good about Orphan Black. I want to watch as my British TV watching has been excellent this year! Now if I could only remember when it was on . . .

Where are you going on your trip? Hope you have fun!

I do not understand anything you said about smartphones. I'm sure this lack of knowledge will come back to bite me some day . . .

How did the boxes of food in the mail turn out?

I actually liked the Lana del Rey cover, but I'm like, the worse when it comes to covers - you know, i actually loved Glee for years.

[lara (from livejournal.com)]

I'm going with Audrey/Duke. More banter, more fun. But I can definitely have Audrey/Nathan as a background pairing cuz we kinda assume that when Audrey/Duke are not together (separating for a period of time), they will have dated other people. Will take me awhile to write and will probably split it up into chapters, but I'll do it. So you'll have something to read from me, too. I LOVE writing Audrey/Duke fics! :P

We'll see how it goes. I don't know what country to set it in yet. I've already written about Paris, so either Greece, Vienna or something else. And there will be Audrey/Duke babies. Because reasons.
