I really miss you, Abby. Happy birthday. I had Coke for lunch today. :)

Sign ups are open for Yuletide, but I'm forced to use IE 6.x for work. So I can't sign up until I get home and can use Firefox.

(No, Firefox Portable will not function on this computer. Yes, I've tried it. I've even tried grabbing the proxy server out of the information for IE and putting it in the appropriate spot on Firefox, and it still won't work. I may be good with computers, but I'm not that good.)

Every now and again, I get lovely feedback on my story where Atlantis wants Elizabeth and John to have babies. (Not to mention the fact that Atlantis loves Elizabeth.)

I know, I know. Shut up. I love that fic, though. I wrote it in response to several factors (not just the ones listed in the author's notes of that story), including a story where Elizabeth felt excluded by not having the ATA gene (um, no, stfu), and conversations with mylittleredgirl about how Atlantis loves Elizabeth, and is a little lonely without her. Because, after all, Atlantis had Elizabeth to keep her company for ten thousand years.

Don't ask me how that went to "Atlantis wants Elizabeth and John to have babies." Maybe Atlantis loves John too, and is matchmaking? Never mind the fact that Elizabeth and John are already together in this fic. Babies. (Why did my matchmaker fic involve the damn city as the matchmaker? Why did my brain go there?)

Regardless of why I did it, I have to say, I get some good feedback on that story. So I can't complain too much.

ETA: Um, the fic is here. Sorry. Didn't think to link it.

You know, some episodes, I can really tell that Ron Moore was involved. Like the last two I've watched, which are Babylon and Pick a Number.

( Spoilers for Babylon and Pick a Number )

Given Ron Moore's involvment, and my problems with women in BSG (especially after the first two seasons), I think I'm glad that Carnivale ended after only two seasons. I'm not sure, though, because there are some damn good actors on that series, and I'm enjoying the rest of the plot. Hopefully this was just a detour from the awesome.

Please don't spoil me on anything past the first six episodes. I'm trying to watch the series unspoiled.

In other news, the Claymore DVDs I've been getting off Netflix have been consistently awesome. I love Claire like nobody's business. Raki annoys me, but that type of character (who doesn't listen to the expert) always bothers me. I'm halfway through the discs.

Other things I've watched from Netflix: The modern remake of The Initiation of Sarah was surprisingly enjoyable, if not great. It had Summer Glau and Jennifer Tilly, and was, therefore, pretty awesome for that alone. The Lost Boys: The Tribe was awful. I mean, seriously. It was horrible. The Thirst, which has the Whedon cast of doom, was enjoyable, if not the best vampire movie ever. Partly it was enjoyable just because of the Whedon cast of doom, mind you. Also, I'm partly through series one of Coupling UK. My God, these people are all crazy. Thankfully, it keeps me amused.

ETA: The comments of the LJ version of this post, while spoilery for Carnivale (if you care), have also turned into a recs list for media with awesome women. If you're into that sort of thing.

Evening Whovillers *g*

Anyone fancy playing with any of mine? *is restless* Pick up of old threads is good too. I've let my Whoville charries slide a little recently. Bad RPer, no cookie.

I have Pam, John Hart and Mitchell presently.

Anyone??

Guys! miera_c is hosting a Sparktober Drabble Tree in her journal.

I'm personally fond of lyssie's Sparkly John fic. *cackle*
