obsessively opposed to the typical

to do (real life things)

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

magically learn how to cook


to watch

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.

Randomly butting in - oh my god, if you cried in s1 and 2, get a new box of Kleenex and/or someone's hand to hold for s3. It's... well, more serious is one way to describe it, but also has the best payoff as compensation.

Hee, I am always happy to converse about S&A! Yeah, I don't think the Lear season could be anything other than HEARTBREAKING. Damn it, Shakespeare, why did you have to perfect stomping all over the audience's emotions?

[alpheratz]

Yeah, good point. That play is really distressing. I'm reading Fool (based on King Lear) by Christopher Moore right now, and not enjoying it for one overarching reason, namely that it's not enjoyable - it's composed almost entirely of unpleasantly graphic sex and language, which could be bearable by itself, but not when added on top of all the graphic violence lifted straight from the play.

[littledust]

Oh, that book sounds fascinating, but also like a book I could never make it through. Unpleasant people having unpleasantly graphic sex + gouging out people's eyes does not an appealing combination make.

[alpheratz]

I'm not sure I can make it through the book either. I reached the eye-gouging scene, felt nauseous, and decided to think about puppies with cold wet noses and brown eyes instead.

Also, I'll friend you, if you don't mind, seeing as we have stuff in common!

[littledust]

I do not mind at all! :D V. pleased to meet you.
