I've bitten my nails wayyyy too much :(
Dunno why, I don't *think* I'm particularly nervous about anything. Maybe there's something on my mind I don't know about?
Today I did some vaccuuming, went to uni, wrote some more of a fic that's going nowhere and wrote another whole fic that's a bit odd, really, then did some readings and watched TV. No 24 tonight *sniffles* coz there was a double Practice on instead. There *was* the final of Queer as Folk, however. Next week they're starting back at the beginning, which is cool coz I haven't seen those early eps yet. The final was EXCELLENT. Buffy was on, too. I watched Three Colours Blue at uni...I'll attempt to review it, but since I didn't get nor like it, my review might kinda suck.
Three Colours: Blue
Firstly, yeah, the title's kinda obvious. Sad movie, lots of blue stuff all through it, blue lighting effects, pools, blue lollipops, the lot. The soundtrack, admittedly, is awesome--all diegetic (heehee!!! see me be knowledgable, it means sound directly related to what we can see in the frame, like stuff the characters can hear.) I'm sure the acting is good too. I just didn't *get* it. I didn't understand the point to a lot of the characters, I never really liked the main character, and there's a lot of confusing plot leaps and unexplained stuff that could have had more depth. I didn't even understand the end. The music linking the whole thing together was nice, but it still didn't help me understand. Very French, only no nudity.
Queer as Folk
Well, this may take a while. Where do I start? Loved loved loved it, from the opening scene to the closing, every time Ted and Emmett weren't in it. Such a strong ick factor there. Also, contrived--Emmett suddenly liking Ted out of nowhere at the party? Speaking of, I *wish* I could've taped the party scene from beginning to end!!! I did skip a *teensy* bit of Willow/Andrew convo in Buffy to tape Justin's final decision to go with Ethan *happy sigh* which was so cute. Guh, sorry, back to the beginning. The Rage comics look awesome, I love them. I love Ethan, but everyone knows that. Didn't like Ben at first, but now I'm warming to him--shame he's going to die later in the 3rd season (hypothesising!!!) but it'll give Michael/Brian some good bonding. Ben and Debbie have good chemistry. Mel and Linds were a bit pushed aside, which didn't seem to make much of a difference, and Brian was a dick but *drools* such a sexy dick. Esp. when meeting Ethan, those scenes were (excuse the pun) gold. Michael and Justin's fight was a bit sad--the way they "pissed on their acheivement" by letting that get in the way. I guess it means there'll be no Rage in future. Michael's going to say some *very* bitchy stuff next season, it's downright embarassing.
The music through the whole episode was fantastic, and as I said, loved the party scene. The Rage-on-stage was pretty funny. I didn't know that the guy Brian was fucking was the guy who played Rage! In essence, he was fucking himself. Blatant symboliskm much? Justin dumps him coz he thinks he's too in love with himself. *remembers Brian and Ethan together and drools* I HATE JUSTIN!!!! THough, less so now he's lost Brian. I take odd comfort in that. Poor baby Brian, crying at the end.
He did look sexy in that mask though *drools again*
Buffy
I really feel like I need to have seen more of tonight's Buffy to review it, since I was actually in the other room and not even flicking to it from QaF tonight. So I missed right up until the end of Buffy's D&M with Spike in the bedroom. I've read the Xander/Anya good cop/bad cop routine before, though, so that bit I can say is really fun. Wood's hot, and *so* suave and I *heart* him so much. I get that he's a good guy, but the bit where he buries Jonathan seems a bit odd....I understand getting him away from the seal but I wish he'd give him a headstone or something. I hate to think of Jonathan just buried somewhere inconsequential. I loved Jonathan. Andrew's still pretty funny, though, adds good comic relief. Poor Spike!!! Poor, tortured, sexy as all hell, insane Spike. *sniffles*
Some stuff....
The Friday Five (I swear I'll do it on Friday one of these days.)
1. What was the first band you saw in concert?Savage Garden, in year 9
2. Who is your favorite artist/band now? Matchbox Twenty, I guess. Artist-wise, Eminem.
3. What's your favorite song? I love Drive by Incubus, Real World by Matchbox Twenty, Green by Alex Lloyd, Bother by Corey Taylor...and others I've forgotten.
4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be? Um, triangle? I dunno, I don't have any inclinations towards instruments.
5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why? I'm not too good with musical icons...how about Joss Whedon? He wrote the musical ep of Buffy! That counts!
I am Watts! Which Brat Packer Are You?
Erm...right.

Yay!
Gacked from Buffonia, who gacked it from themongkey (can't remember tags for LJ links).
I am: Quite insane, thankyou very much.
I love: Harry Potter.
I hate: Harry Potter flamers.
I fear: insects, people standing behind me, Teletubbies, dying alone.
I hope: that wheat I just mentioned never happens, and that I live to read book 7.
I hear: right now? just the familiar buzzing of my computer and overload typing.
I crave: chocolate, Domlijah slash, a boyfriend, some company.
I regret: many, many things.
I cry: often when drunk.
I care: about my friends.
I always: check The Leaky Cauldron daily and forget what classes I have tomorrow.
I believe: that Joss and JKR are genius in human form.
I feel alone: tonight
I listen: less than I talk, which is very bad of me.
I hide: from people I don't want to talk to.
I drive: better than my father thinks I do.
I sing: frequently and without restraint.
I dance: see above
I write: in lectures or on the bus, with my legs crossed until one of them falls asleep. (I noticed today that it feels weird coming back to reality after coming back from the place in my head where I write. It's like standing up too fast.)
I play: various games almost every Friday.
I miss: combinis, the pool at the Embassy, and too many people to mention.
I learn: new things all the time.
I feel: Mostly, I feel Katie. Um...I feel anxious whenever I think about the future.
I know: plenty about my obsessions but very little about what's going on outside my own little world.
I say: pretty much everything that comes into my head and then some.
I succeed: often without trying, but when I really try I often lose.
I dream: very odd things. Believe me, you don't want my dreams.
I wonder: all the time.
I want: BOOK 5!!!!
I have: arthritis in my left thumb joint.
I give: pretty much whenever someone asks me for something.
I fell: from grace a long time ago.
I fight: using words.
I need: a hug :S
Link of the day, as promised yesterday, is The Buffy Park, a South Park-style Buffy parody. Check out the Adventures of Xander the Wonder-slut. (thanks sun!)
Pics of the day are just a couple new Fandom icons I made (3 Clex, 1 HP) and two *hasnowordstodescribe* pics of Micheal Rosenbaum and Tom Welling getting grabby and looking *so good*! Lex should smile more. And wear leather more. They should both always be this well dressed. I actually said squee when I saw the pic. There's a very short fic under it, an Orlijah for once, which was just a brief break from my long and winding Domlijah going nowhere fic. It was inspired by leaves. Yes, just leaves.
I don't know who came up with the shoulder pat line, and I'm sorry I stole your idea, but it was *so perfect*!
Fractious
Dull vibrations felt through denim abruptly ended as Orlando answered his phone.
”Orlando.”
”Where are you?”
”Hey, Lijah! Um, I’m at…”
”Come get me.”
”I can’t, sweetie, it’s not a good…”
”I’m in Chambers Street.”
”Look, Elijah, I’m busy.”
”She died.”
”What? Who died, honey?”
”I can’t…”
“I’m ten minutes away.” Click.
Dammit. Why weren’t his feet faster? Wished he could get a taxi. Held his hand out in case, even as he stumbled down the street. Lucky day.
Chill autumn air whistled through open windows. Loud gum chewing. Trying to send psychic message. Faster, go faster. Felt like hours. Glimpse of a crumpled jacket and wide blue eyes. Stopped, payed.
Phone sweaty, knuckles white from holding onto it. He tugged it from my hands. Replaced it with his own hand. Pulled leaves from my hair. Thumb on my cheek, back and forth. I cried.
“Aw, baby. You’ll make it.” Arms and legs wrapped around me. Tangled.
I may not be whole, but at least I’m safe.
Some nights I tire of being alone.
