The theme: there is no theme. Themeless. Theme-free. Unconstrained by theme-ishness.

NOOOOO! The fourth season of (new) Doctor Who isn't available (yet?) for livestreaming through Netflix! This means I'm going to have to actually send back Ultraviolet disc two in order to watch more DW.

That does it. I'm buying Ultraviolet. So I can research and write Angie/Vaughan fic. And maybe Angie-Frances friendship fic. And oh, how about Vaughan interacting with Rose March, who is wanting to know his intentions toward her mother?!

I just added [livejournal.com profile] spock_uhura to my LJ reading list the other day. Do those people ever stop posting? I wanted more fic, but this is ridiculous. (Okay, how sad is it that I'm complaining about too much fic. Apparently I'm just determined to be unhappy, y'all! And hey, why isn't there more activity at the [livejournal.com profile] lifeonmartha comm? See? I cannot be pleased!)

Go read [livejournal.com profile] taragel's new Kara fic, Faith Like Wings. It's beautiful. (Sort of an episode insert for 'Maelstrom' and totally awesome/sad.)

Okay, so guess what I'm busy doing during one of my last days of freedom before the work grind begins again: cleaning? writing? making cool beaded jewelry? NOPE. I'm asking Mr. Google for Twilight links in order to write the long-dreaded anticipated post about the series and my religion. Why am I mentioning this now when the post probably won't be done for ages? Because I had to share a sentence I stumbled across. One person's joking reaction to the horrid way in which Stephenie Meyer altered (hee, I almost wrote altared) the vampire mythology (at least, I assume it's joking):

I am personally disgusted and offended that fictional creatures like vampires have been further fictionalized by fiction writers into fictional representations so fictional from their former fiction that they're no longer anything but fictional.


*laughs forever*

I, uh, have nothing else to say after that.

Ooh, I've been thinking about adding [community profile] spock_uhura too. I should check out some of the stories, at least.

This was a SERIOUS COMMENT? Wow. Someone needs a thesaurus, just for starters.

I'm so glad you're writing that post! :DDDD

Hee, your tag. But it is anticipated by me! I'm very curious. :)

That comment is a new height of...something. Please tell me it was the last word if it was a part of a discussion, because I cannot even IMAGINE what you could say after it.

The fourth season of old Who isn't ready either. Then again, it largely doesn't exist anymore. Sad.

Your religion is vampirism?

OMG that is the BEST QUOTE EVER! *dies laughing*

ETA: Oh, and I joined [livejournal.com profile] spock_uhura a while back and after a couple of weeks had to stop watching it. I'm still a member, though - I just manually check it for fics instead of letting them roll over and crush me.

That vampire quote is awesome! Actually, of all the criticisms about the books, I don't mind that she made the vampire mythology different. It's all a bit cliched by now, so it was nice to have a fresh (if not particularly deep) take.
