Theoretically I should be asleep right now. But I made the mistake of watching 'just one' episode of Lost after youth group at church tonight and, uh... then I had to watch the other one that was available online. (Fic of Doom is needing to simmer anyway*.)
*over 6000 words, still going... and going

Haven't seen today's episode yet. I'll be watching it tomorrow. I just have to say, though: circular time-travel mind-bendy stuff that includes actual discussion of the circular time-travel mind-bendy stuff is totally awesome. Woohoo!

And then I got the excellent news that [livejournal.com profile] bsg_remix is a go! Expect posts about it in LJ comms over the next few days. In fact, I may ask some of you to help me spread the word to comms that you're linked to and I'm not. (Because I'm sadly lacking in posting rights to any and all Kara/Lee comms, for example. Same with Roslin/Adama and a lot of the character-specific comms and so forth.)

Here's what we're posting everywhere in a haphazard way:
the same text you're hopefully going to see/share on BSG LJ comms everywhere! )

Details and sign-up here. You have until April 20 to decide to join in!

Bwahahahahaha! Ahahah! Hah! If you have any interest in the character of Benjamin Linus on Lost you should go watch this fanvid now. Now I need to find out who this Jonathan Coulton person is.
*giggles again*

Anyone out there know any spoilers for the BSG movie in November, I think it's called 'The Plan'?
cut for information request based on casting; also vaguely spoilerish for the general idea )

Lost has definitely shown improvement this season. Not that I ever hated it (okay, except for the episode about Jack's tattoos) but the story arc is getting more clear. There's direction! slight spoilers for this week's episode )

Mmm... okay, that's all I have about Lost. I'm enjoying it a lot!

Doctor Who next! spoilers for season two and 'Runaway Bride' )

Well, that was my usual flailing, nonthoughtful kind of post, wasn't it? Anyone have any season two DW fic recs I should know about?

All of seasons one-three of new Doctor Who are available for livestreaming through Netflix. Just a basic account (one disc in home at a time) allows for unlimited video streaming. (Of course, the amount of stuff available for live viewing is much less than what they have for regular rentals, but hey--I can now watch season three of DW without waiting for the mail, so I'm not going to complain.)

Hey, [livejournal.com profile] shah_of_blah? I'm in the middle of Howl's Moving Castle and I love it.

Oh, Lost. I like having you around but you don't always make much sense.
Oh, Rose's Lost posts! Written in some weird variant of stream-of-consciousness...
spoilers for the two hours that aired this week )

eta: Hah, apparently I watched these two hours out of order?!? I thought I was paying attention when I clicked on ABC's website, but who knows?

Huh. It just now occurred to me that doing a youth group activity every Wednesday night means no Lost watch party with my friends or the alternate liveblogging on LJ.

Guess I'll be watching online the next day.

So: for those of you who haven't been consumed by angry bitterness over Lost, be sure to watch tomorrow and think of me trying to keep hormonal teenage girls in line. It's two hours long, starts at 8 p.m. central time.

Don't forget, the season finale of Lost is two hours long, so it starts an hour earlier than normal.

I'll be watching on someone's wall--we're using a projector to make a really nice big picture of the show. Yes, we're nerds. We're also having a cookout before the show starts. Heh. So enjoy watching; I won't be making any more posts about the show tonight.

Someone named Jeff Jensen, who works for Entertainment Weekly, wrote an interesting overview of this week's episode of Lost: 'Lost': Unhappy Jack. It includes a theory about Claire that made me say, "Duuuuuude" in a very Hurley-like way. (link thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ack_attack) BTW, from what I've seen a few places on LJ, apparently I should be thinking that this episode was as bad as the tattoo episode. Hah. Sorry, there's just no comparison. This one actually advanced the plot, though it was sadly lacking in Ben, Locke and Sayid.

Huh. Weird that I have a show on my must-watch list that's so male-dominant. Sort of breaks the pattern for me.

Fanfics I worked on this week: angsty Kara/Sam story, bleak Life fic, depressing remix story for the [livejournal.com profile] bsg_hiatusthon. Apparently the muse wasn't feeling the comedy love.

FYI, the episode of Lost starts later than usual: ten p.m. eastern, nine p.m. central. I may do an ongoing Lost post tonight... or maybe not, depends on my mood. Oooh, this is the episode titled 'The Shape of Things to Come'--excellent. (Keep an eye out for cylons and/or hybrid babies!)

Work this week... as usual, the majority of the aggravation comes from the administration, but since it's April and there are six weeks or so of school left, more is coming from the students than before. *sigh*

Snap Cup, yeah yeah yeah! Come tell me why you love me right here.

I have been given the very important job (by my co-workers) of finding out the dates for the remaining episodes of Lost. Apparently my ability to type 'episode guide' and 'lost' in Google is better than anyone else's.

ANYWAY. The next episode is April 24 (which I knew), but the title is what made me laugh. It's called "The Shape of Things to Come." HEEEE! I'd love for it to be a connection to Battlestar Galactica, but since there's an H.G. Wells book by that title, possibly not.

I was trying to grade papers the other night and decided to pop in an Angel DVD. I'm still (slowly) doing a rewatch--currently in season three. The episode "Waiting in the Wings" was next, and silly me, I thought I could actually grade papers while watching it. Nope. I love that episode too much--it's so pretty, and fun, and sexy, and angsty. (That's the ballet episode, if any of you know the show.) After it was over I watched it again with Joss Whedon's commentary. So, no grading that night. Guess I'll try again now.

THERE'S A LAURA-LEOBEN FIC! The Kindly Ones, by [livejournal.com profile] eye_of_a_cat. Set late in season three, Laura interviews a Leoben who's been caught in the fleet.
*pretends to be calm again*

Hey, go tell me what to blog about. I have time this week.

But before I blog to anyone's command, a RL friend wants Lost links. I decided it would be easier to put it here and send her the one link. Oh, and I keep her up to date with Harry Potter fic recs and stuff too, so... on to the random! Um, I may have mentioned a few of these before. Sorry, LJ folk.
Lost links first )

fic from Joss Whedon's shows )

lots of Harry Potter fics )

So most of you have seen the first and second rounds of promopics at [livejournal.com profile] dryope's LJ. (If not, you should look! Everyone's so pretty! And I don't think they're spoilery except for who's in the pics... and if you pay attention to casting spoilers, you already know.) cut for minor whine about who's not in the pics )

Ack, it nearly killed me at work today when all my co-workers wanted to talk about last night's episode of Lost and I had to shush them. Having watched it, dude... that was interesting. Next week looks to be even more interesting.
thoughts on Kate--light spoilers for this week's episode )

Someday soon I'll post about something that's not TV related. But right now I'm about to do some more work-related work (bleah), so...

1) I won't be watching Lost until Friday, due to more work-related work tomorrow evening. Double-bleah.

2) Have some Lost/BSG stuff! Fun
a) characters of the two shows meet!
b) a vid: Lost with BSG credits music

3) Maybe you've already seen this, but there's a Samuel T. Anders picspam.
*stares*

4) Ever owned a dog? Ever have it eat something it shouldn't have? Go read this: I has a sweet potato. I laughed so much my stomach hurt afterward.

5) I just spent $250 (more or less) sitting in my chair. Online shopping is dangerous. (I ordered mundane, necessary stuff like a flashdrive and black loafers. I wasn't being extravagant... much.)

Oh, yum. Just ate one of those really bad for you lunches from a drive-in (breakfast burrito, onion rings, lemon slush). 'Twas delicious.

Okay, thoughts on Lost.
some observations )

can't make coherent post about Lost, head exploded during episode

Wow. I'm going to have to rewatch this one online tomorrow. Break dance assassination, a killer golf game, the silver bracelet?, Ben the mastermind... too much to absorb.
