possibilities

i. I saw New Moon yesterday! I even paid money for it, sigh. And I enjoyed the hell out of it, not least because much like Twilight it could not decide whether it wanted to be a slow-moving indy movie full of strumming guitar soundtrack and mostly concerned about an awkward quiet girl's relationship with her quiet father and awkward friends, or if it wanted to be an action-packed fast-paced supernatural thriller with lots of CGI. Unfortunately somewhere in those things lurked Meyer's awful plot and creepy subtext about how if a boy is afraid that he's going to hurt a girl, the girl should forgive him out of love and because he'd never mean to hurt her. On the other hand, they also got in the fantastic (unintentional by Meyer, I am sure) subtext of "Are you sure you can't just ...?" "Not be a werewolf? It's not a lifestyle choice! I was born like this!" A++ would like Eclipse to laugh at now.

ii. Children In Need featured the first three minutes of the Doctor Who Christmas Special, although I imagine that most everyone who's interested has probably watched it repeatedly already. ( Spoiler cut is excited for Christmas! )

The desire to write Doctor/Master fic right now is overwhelming. But I have three gift-fic exchanges I really need to do first.

iii. This is probably interesting to ... me ... but I finally got my hands on Paul Gross's Call of the Wild commentary, and even though I have already heard most of these stories (like the one about TURNBULL & CHEESE) it was still vastly entertaining and, let's be honest, I'd listen to Paul Gross read the phonebook. ( Commentary on the commentary! )

Jfc I totally just watched the Stargate Atlantis pilot and it was a HUGE MISTAKE because I am full of due South levels of happyglow.

Really, though. John Sheppard is my boyfriend! I friendship him and Teyla so hard, and I leadership him and Weir more than I thought I would, and I am preemptively brokenhearted about both Weir and Ford, augh. (But then there is Ronon! Am I planning to skip like half of s1 in order to get to Ronon faster & have lots of TEAM? Why yes probably!) I am almost helpless to not watch the second episode right now because that's the one with the personal shield and John throwing Rodney off balconies and things! John's speshul speshul Ancient gene and the way the city wants to date him make me so happy. Wraith and their wacky organic hiveships make me so happy. (I want Wraith hiveships and Cylon basestars to hang out.) In conclusion I am screwed, not least because I was (am!) resolutely not taking any TV with me over Thanksgiving break.

I really am completely incoherent about this. When it is a more reasonable hour I'm sure my priorities will be saner and not include things like "Make a list of all the episodes that are not actually skippable." Even when it is a more reasonable hour, though, I'm pretty sure my priorities will still include "Write lots of Sheppard/Kowalski puddlejumper sex," but I think that's okay.
