to do (real life things)

unpack car, repack for Madison :(
haircut, doctor's appt., see if I need a new glasses prescription
go to WisCon :DDD

magically learn how to cook


to watch

Black Books
Caprica

to write

Burning Down the House [due South, crazy!Fraser]
The Care and Feeding of Your Atomic Bomb [Doctor Who, Rose/Martha]
Neutral Zone [due South, epic s2-and-onward AU]
No Second Coming [Dark is Rising, a goddamn sequel novella]
Such Deliberate Disguises [Doctor Who, um, Master/human!Ten]
The Windhover [due South, that Victoria fic I keep talking about]
untitled post-Waters of Mars AU where Ten is evil
hopefully an Amy/Rory fic
the story that was my screenplay project but wants to be a novel when it grows up


I am hoping that I will at least accomplish all of the things in the real life to do list (even the girlfriend one and the cooking one, because a girl can dream); I am hoping I will accomplish at least half of the things in the to write list; and I sort of hope that, out of my to-watch list, the only one I will make any real effort on will be Babylon 5, because I would honestly rather sacrifice that list to the other two than the reverse.

No, omg! I had it separately recced to me last night over dinner, too, which I take as a SIGN. *adds to list*

I think it may be experiencing a bit of a revival (okay, the most recent series only aired in late fall, but still) because of the British election. Basically, think The West Wing - everything idealistic about The West Wing + extra cynicism sprinkles + a Scottish Rahm Emanuel + more cursing than you've probably heard anywhere. I just feel so *happy* when I watch it.

Nngh. Where has this BEEN all my life? I am going to find it very soon! (Probably as soon as I am done with Babylon 5, but shhh. :D)
