How's it going?

[hells_half_acre]

Oh, fine, thanks for asking.

I've completed 5 fics from my prompt meme! Yay! I have another half of one written on my computer, that I'll probably finish up tomorrow after work. That will leave only 4 or 5 left to do (if I chose to do ever single one, but right now I'm thinking I might veto one or two, just because I can't come up with anything particular good for them).

I also got a bit carried away with one of them, and it took me two days to write and I ended up having to post it in 7 parts :-P ...that's what I get for attempting a triple-crossover/demented'verse with a fandom that I've never written in before.

Anyway, is the show back on yet? I'm bored. I've already watched my Sherlock DVDs, now I'm just twiddling my thumbs. I'm going to check out Being Human tonight, even though I don't like vampires...if any of you watch/ed it let me know what you thought in comments. I predict that I'll be mildly entertained for an hour, but not feel like making a habit of it....

Still don't know what to do with my life. I'm contemplating trying for editing again, rather than the film industry. I don't know.

Tomorrow I'm getting my eyes checked. Yay! Hopefully I can make it home alright afterwards. Also, hopefully, I'm not going blind or anything. It's a sad world that I have to spend my Christmas money on health-appointments, by the way - I was under the impression that I lived in Canada, but apparently the Canadian government doesn't view eye-health as a basic human right. Thanks guys.

ETA: BOO! 5 minutes in and my sister kicks me off the TV. I thought she was staying at her boy's house tonight. *heavy sigh*...to torrents!

First 5 Minute Review of Being Human: Awesome intro, love the use of that Wintersleep song!

Hmm, well, I'll keep it in mind should I find myself in need of entertainment. I think in the meantime, I'll just continue me "ugh, vampires" ways :P

Which cast was better, the backdoor pilot, or the regular series?

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

The regular series, it pains me to admit. I loved the pilot.

(I'm with you on the vampire thing, which makes it kind of odd that I'm pushing it.)

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's like me pushing Supernatural when I usually don't touch horror with a ten foot pole...though, Supernatural isn't REALLY horror, it's mostly just angst :P

I'm going to blame the pretty. It explains a lot in both cases.


(Plus, in the british show, there's a lot of nudity, and there's something weirdly endearing about George's jiggling bottom as he runs around looking for clothes. IDEK.)

See, werewolves are where it's at...less brooding angst, more nudity :P

But yes, the pretty does explain a lot - though, so do entertaining story-lines.

George angst Like CRAZY. He's all, "why did this happen to me? I'm a MONSTER! I can NEVER HAVE A NORAML LIFE! NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!"


Actually....now that I think about it....he's kind of like a more emotionally expressive Sam.

And Mitchell (the vampire) is definitely more in the Dean line (though with Sam's little blood addiction thing), where he's got all this drama that he refuses to actually acknowledge and is plagued with guilt that he won't admit to. Because he's manfully brooding about it. Also, he nurses a secret desire for a family and a cute son to help fight off bullies and share his favorite, antiquated, pop culture with. This ends badly. (because of vampires! What a coincidence!)

I guess that'd make Annie Castiel, haha.

LOL

I guess it is impossible to escape the angsty man-pain :P
