what dread hand

Anna took the cap. I noticed he licked his lips in this scene, but I'm now obsessed with it.

My favorite things about Mohinder:

• lashes
• bottom lip
• that horribly-painfully-looking scar on the tip of his nose
• his habit of licking his lips
• sweat-soaked skin
• long, long fingers
• hair, anywhere
• smile
• that red shirt
• those cargo pants
• puppy-dog eyes
• befuddled frown
• angry frown
• his satchel
• the way he tucks Molly's hair behind her ear
• the way he kisses her forehead
• thumb ring
• the fact that if they made a Bollywood episode, he should be the one standing in the rain wearing a white shirt (because it's obvious they're tuning up his sex appeal by having him wear so much clothing all the time)
• the lines of his jaw and neck
• his scared face

Wait, that didn't make me less emo. That just made me horny.

D:

I think I might re-watch all Mohinder scenes of season two this weekend. But first, off to work. Though I really, honestly feel like shit. Wah.

P.S. Can Mohinder/Maya be canon soon? I'm not even asking for a full-on Nathan/Jessica scene (THOUGH HAHAHA I SURE WOULDN'T OBJECT), holding hands is fine! They can start there and move up, and kiss in season five on their wedding night.

P.P.S. Why is Pushing Daisies so good? And Chuck/Olive so cute? It's impossibly cute.

P.P.P.S. I feel so much like shit that canned coffee actually tastes good. I haven't enjoyed canned coffee since I was seven and actually living in Japan and ergo did not know any fucking better. Scary.

The trick is still to not think of it as coffee, but rather as a milk-and-sugar drink with added aroma.

ABOUT FRIKKIN' TIME.

Jules Verne Festival.

Remind me to check for press photos on the 15th, plz'n'thx.

Also, cut finger and IT JUST WON'T STOP BLEEDING. It's bleeding through the fifth band aid now. WTF.

If I read one more Matt/Mohinder fanfic pushing "the gay agenda", I will break something.

No, I don't need to be preached about how God Loves All and Homosexual Couples Are Great Parents through fanfic utilizing horrible stereotypes of the most deeply ignorant and bigoted Christians as blatant "villains", only to portray our gay heroes as the most loving, sensible, open-minded, and finest human beings in the world and the best examples of parents ever. To end with a self-satisfied note of "Hah, THAT sure showed them!"

For the record, I'm not Christian (or religious) and I fully support the right of homosexual couples to adopt. I'm talking about infuriatingly clichéd propaganda fiction. Doesn't make it less bad writing that I happen to agree with the agenda being pushed. And yeah, fighting one stereotype with another is always a great idea and sure to win everyone over!

• the Sylar/Mohinder interaction in the sneak peeks actually only being a five-minute excerpt of their 35-minute storyline
• Maya and Mohinder has some sort of emotional connection (hahaha as if)
• Mohinder is in danger and The Haitian comes to the rescue
• any Haitian scenes at all, actually
• any scene at all where people are shown to care about Mohinder's safety, actually
• no Matt/Mohinder, but I'm being spiteful
• Molly being cute
• the Sylar/Mohinder storyline to end in such a way as to allow tons of hiatus fic
• SR doing commentary
• ... OKAY I ADMIT IT, SR doing commentary with ZQ, so kill me

The space key on my keyboard is busted so I can't press on either of its ends. This is fucking up my typing speed considerably since I have to take it into consideration all the while I type. Gah.

I need a new rule of life. "Don't post fic/art/icons/macros/whatever when I'm manic." Problem being I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I'M BEING MANIC AND NOT.

That was completely unrelated to anything above, sorry.

1. All of NYC and every superpowered human in the world.

... okay, while the above is true, a bit more seriously:

1. Peter
2. Hiro
3. Molly
4. DL (he certainly helped)
5. Matt (again)
6. The Haitian
7. HRG/Bob

And on that note, I'll go back to sleep.

from a dream in which people had a fandom for a Hellboy (the movie)/Heroes crossover.

And they shipped Hellboy (the character)/Mohinder. Very seriously.

But in my dream Heroes was a tokusatsu (i.e. Power Rangers-style) show, so I don't think I should be taking it too seriously.

(I suppose if Heroes was tokusatsu, Mohinder would be the scientist that'd get kidnapped by the villains. And I also suppose sleeping with Hellboy would break the poor doctor, so no, I shouldn't be thinking about this. No. Nooooo! I'm not thinking of Mohinder in a white lab coat and glasses kneeling in front of the massive frame of Hellboy noooooo! Though I suppose the professor might approve ...)

Stuff I need to do today:
• shop for DVDs
• shop for clothes
• drop by computer shop to have space key fixed hua hua hua i fix'd it!!1
• go to class
• come home to change
• go to company dinner

I don't want to do any of it. Meep.

ETA: Looking up "tokusatsu" on wiki made me browse on to Battle of the Planets, and now I have the original opening theme stuck to my brain. Gah. 地球はひ・と・つ！地球はひ・と・つ！

Why Heroes can't even manage a 20kb/s average for me is ... perplexing. (My connection isn't the fastest, but it can average a 100kb/s on Dexter!) Seriously, WTF. I have stuff to do at one, dammit.

So I'll be sitting here, rolling my thumbs, hoping I won't give into temptation and sneak a peek at the reactions. The ones I see above the lj-cuts on my flist seem to imply there'll be much to squee over. And a strange part of my brain now knows who will be the "omg is s/he or isn't s/he?!" death of the episode. Because, um, guys? Your icons. Yeah.

Am. So. TEMPTED.

And I can't decide if I want to clean or write Bobhinder while I wait.

Eh. How ultimately boring and unsatisfying. I'm not even sure I want to write anything much about it, but some quick notes:

I shouldn't let a TV show make me feel so vile, but it's seriously ruining my mood. Not even Sendhil is cheering me up.

Nope, not cheering me up.

No.

...

Well okay, maybe it is cheering me up a little bit.

I'm not really sure how I'll stay interested until volume three, however. I don't want to stay in this fandom just to complain about the show; there has to be at least some enjoyment. But where to find it?

Even the RPS is looking unattractive right now. (Though I'm pretty sure I'll be over that in a few hours, hahahahaha.)

Sorry if I'm ruining the funk of anyone visiting. Believe me, I wish I were excited.

I need a Mohinder/Maya fandom, ASAP.

A community, too.

sylar_survival_victims, perhaps. (Not really.)

Speaking of penises.

My RPS funk is back in full force!

Unrelated, but the remaining two episodes of Dexter have been leaked, and being the person I am, I'm downloading them. But this means that after next week's Pushing Daisies, I won't have a single US TV show to watch! Wah!

Is this a good time to revisit Oz? Perhaps. But do feel free to rec me something.

I know I owe e-mail replies and I'll get to it and omg you guys rock etc. etc. but I'm at work and there are some things I just need to let out first and waaaaah!

I know I'll be tempting Random Lurker even more by saying this (given in yet, have you?), but Dexter ... was good. I'm not going to cut this because it's hardly a spoiler to say that people die on Dexter, but Ela said it best when she said that Dexter? Not Heroes. Although I wish it were. Proper deaths, proper emotional responses from every character, properly handled and just, gah, I actually cried through this episode. Man. I really, really like every single character on this show. They're bastards and bitches most of them, most of the time, but they're so real and lovable.

Wasn't as good as season one, though, but that'd be hard to top. I'm not sure about season three, since I fear the repetition, but I also feared that for season two and although some of it was repetitive I enjoyed the ride immensely, so ... I'll be tuning back.

And I need to say this again: DL's death was the sole motivation for Niki and Micah's actions through season two. I'm not saying Niki's storyline was perfect, it wasn't, but saying that DL was just killed off because he was "unpopular" or "black" negates everything he did and every highly believable reaction his family had to the fact. It was tragic, but it was dealt with, and I hope Nathan will die and have the same proper aftermatch. For his sake and for the sake of the show.

And now, a meme. Because obviously, what I should be doing right now as a very pressing matter is answering memes. Yes, of course. What else? Stolen from aerie.

SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:
1. Sylar/Mohinder (Heroes)
2. Deb/Lundy (Dexter)
3. Kurama/Hiei (YYH)
4. Ryan/Keller (Oz)
5. Skinner/Krycek (The X-Files)
6. ZQ/SR (Heroes RPS)

THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Matt/Mohinder (Heroes)
8. Tezuka/Fuji (Prince of Tennis)
9. Viggo/Bean (LotRips)

THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Nathan/Peter (Heroes)
11. Mulder/Skinner (The X-Files)
12. Beecher/Keller (Oz)

TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Mohinder/Maya (Heroes)
14. Chuck/Olive (Pushing Daisies)

Questions below.

I feel this is an appropriate time to refer to my post on the subject of the Petrelli brothers and how they are perceived by fandom, and state that I still feel exactly like I did when I wrote it.

A point worth noticing might be that Nathan's storyline in season two went exactly as I predicted. I usually dislike gloating, but I do enjoy it when my view of a character is confirmed by the writers.

I like Mohinder.

... I feel like I preface every meta entry on Heroes with this. Mohinder is my favorite character, I would dare say I love him, and everything about him makes me squirm in my seat and alternately want to worship him and cuddle him and torture him. It's all an expression of my pure, unadulated adoration of him, and you guys probably all know this already.

I realize that a lot of people don't like Mohinder. I'm not saying people can't, that'd be silly. People are free to feel whatever they feel about any given character, whether I happen to agree with them or not. Sometimes the reasons they list for disliking him are the exact reason I like him, which is funny, and sometimes I find the reasons unlogical or at least biased, but ultimately, feelings can't really be controlled by logic and neither should they.

But do you know what I wish people would do? I wish people would

STOP FUCKING SHIPPING HIM WITH ANY ARBITARY CHARACTER FOR THEIR FIC AND PORN FIX WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BASHING HIM

is what I wish. If I see one more person using a Sylar/Mohinder icon, or one more person in the Matt/Mohinder community, or one more person admitting to be a Peter/Mohinder shipper in the same breath as telling Mohinder to stop being so fucking stupid, or even worse telling Mohinder to stop being such a douche because it's ruining their fic and porn funk (yes, I've seen people do this), I will KILL SOMETHING.

What, the only way you can stand Mohinder is if he's having hot buttsex with your favorite character? The only use he has is having chemistry with Sylar? Being cutely domestic with Matt? And you're, what, willing to ever so kindly overlook his faults if you get to ship him, because OMG the ship is sooooo hot and hey, you guess Mo's pretty enough? What. The. Fuck? Do you people even realize that you're treating the man as a fuckhole? (No, I don't care if you have him top; the sentiment is the exact same.¹) And you think it's even a good idea to admit to this? What?

Also, while I don't know about Matt, you people do realize that the reasons you seem to hate him for (he's self-righteous! he always pretends to be doing the right thing! it's so annoying! wah wah whine!) are the exact reasons Sylar is obsessed with him and we're shipping S/M in the first place, right? Right?

I'd rather have no fic or fandom about Mohinder Suresh at all than put up with that. You may hate him, and that's your right, but he fucking deserves better. Stop shipping him if you hate him so fucking much, and get out of my fucking face.

(Wow, that made me feel so much better! Saying "fuck" a lot is so liberating.)

1. But if you treat him like a fuckhole out of love, that's fine. In fact, link me to your fic when you write that.

It's depressing, and what's even more depressing is the number of times I've heard people say they don't even try to read Sylar/Mohinder fic anymore because they're drowning in crap.

If I were prepared to be called an elitist bitch, I'd make an elitist and bitchy invite-only community of people I know to write S/M fic that doesn't feature punctuation-abuse, character abuse of Molly, fluff for the sake of it, or Sylar redemption through MPD. But elitist invite-only communities suck and are wanky, and even wanky bitches like me think they're lame, so I won't.

Instead I'm thinking of making a list of readable S/M fics, not a rec list of fic I personally happen to like but a list of fics that meet a strictly objective criteria in both technique and characterization. But the backlog of S/M is so fucking huuuuuuuge, I'd give up within the hour just like I gave up when I wanted to make a list of S/M rapefic. And I'm saying that as someone who has read 95% of all S/M fic at least once (they just tend to slip from memory so I'd need to read them again to judge anyway). I'd need accomplices ...

Meep.

Tim, fuck me.

Now.

ETA: Caught up. Runway fandom, here I come. Where's the slash.

I'm rooting for Elisa, btw, because she's funny. And Rami, he's the hottest. I want to bitchslap Christian. (I already feel I'll be a fandom outcast.)

ETA2: And now, thanks to SHE KNOWS WHO, I'm shipping Zachary Quinto/Tim Gunn in my brain. GEEZ, THANKS FOR THAT.

(No, really. Thank you. That's hot.)

I've had a sore throat since last week, but I think I've finally lost my voice now. I'm not sure because after saying "good morn--" this morning and nearly crying from the pain, I haven't really dared to talk.

Joy.

I'll probably have to cancell dinner tonight, and I'm completely unmotivated to do anything (as if I haven't been for weeks, haha), so I'll go look for distractions now.

P.S. I know this is selfish of me (considering a lot of things. Such as how I suck), not to mention it'd be the greatest crack fic in the history of this fandom, but I really really really really really want someone to write me Sylar/Mohinder/Zach/Sendhil. No, really. For real. In all seriousness.

Let me count the ways. But mostly, let me show you what I got in my mail today (because she said I could share ♥):

(Click to enlarge.)

The one in the bottom right corner is the original of this adorable pic that I've posted before. And look at Nathan in top right corner! And MUFFIN! And she made Mohinder cry!!! (That shouldn't make me so happy. But love Mohinder crying!)

Thank you soooooo much. ♥ I never did anything to deserve this. It made me so happy.

And ... it makes me feel like I really want to send stuff to people for the holidays, too. Because I just generally suck at showing my appreciation. Yes. I shall.

These are my favorite Zachs.

I wonder where he went. I kinda miss him.

(Joking, of course. Just wishing there were more pics like these.)

In other news I didn't get to go to sort of semi family dinner (I can hardly talk), but they brought me tori no karaage. *sniff* I feel loved.

LOL Wesley.

(Secret between you and me: before I saw his face properly I thought it might have been Robert Duncan McNeill. Suffice to say, I was disappointed. Mmmm, Tom Paris. Hot.)

I should tidy up, but the cold has spread to my head. Augh.

ETA: LOL CHRISTOPHER LLOYD WTF. Best episode EVAR.

I'm such a geek.

Printouts of my favorite slash fics from the 90s.

...

Will not be dragged into XF and Voy slash now, will not be tempted by distraction, will not will not will not OH MY FUCK why did I chose The Cure as my cleaning music?! Noooooo.

(One of them was this. Oh guh, Krycek/Spender.¹ My OTP that died after so few episodes I even forgot about them for that pairing meme. I still love you.)

1. Wait wait wait wait! My brain is now adding a cute "Sylar/Mohinder v.1" to the end of Krycek/Spender! What the fuck brain! Get it together!

o yay, it fixed itself! nevermind the below, it's just me complaining (and admitting I neither own a push-button phone nor a cell phone).

Okay, seriously? Christine Rose? Stunning. I know the get-up she has on the show is fitting for the role, but she knows what looks good on her.

And yeeeeeees, Sendhil's there. With Greg.

(Got the link from my flist. I've been looking forward to pics since yesterday! *squee* ♥)

And now, back to folding clothes.

ETA: A few more. Still gorgeous.

So bored I'm surfing wikipedia, and ended up watching the OP of Speed Grapher.

... *squee*

Duran Duran CDs to be dug up when home y/y.

Jenn linked me to a blog entry from someone who was at Heroes Day yesterday, and her descriptions of Sendhil Ramamurthy are so exquisite, I had to quote them here to share.

If I, during my quoting, cannot contain my urge to repeat select words, sometimes even in capital letters, please don't think I do this with the intention to mock. I don't. It's just that they're so, well ... exquisite.

Sendhil Ramamurthy and Dania Ramirez arrive together, looking like an improbably beautiful pair of gazelles, all legs and great bone structure.

Gazelle!

In his blinding white shirt, it’s easy to monitor Sendhil’s progress as he streaks like a comet through the assembled crowd.

Comet!

Like so many actors, he’s built on about three-fourths the scale of a normal human being, without an unnecessary ounce of flesh anywhere on him. He seems to be sculpted entirely of spun sugar; when I shake his hand, I’m thankful it doesn’t break off in mine. He’s lovely and gracious.

SPUN SUGAR!

He makes some remark about the good turnout. The turnout, thus far, is not good – it’s surprising not more people are here – and I can’t tell if he’s being polite or brilliantly deadpan.

I vote deadpan.

The actors are corralled together and forced to sing Christmas carols with the lyrics changed to pro-WGA jargon. Sendhil and Greg mysteriously vanish into the crowd while this takes place. Sendhil and Greg are the smart ones.

OTP. OTP.

Sendhil takes off at the stroke of one o’clock. The last I see of him, he’s booking it madly across Lankershim Boulevard, as though he’s late for a terribly important appointment. If he leaves his glass slipper behind on the palace steps, I don’t find it.

Cinderella! CINDERELLA! CINDE-fucking-RELLA!!!!!!

... Okay, that may have left me breathless. Exquisite.

Also! More pics! I am a happy camper.

"I've made more mistakes at 3am than I can list."

List them, Tim! List! LIIIIIIST!

Someone needs to write a fic titled 3am mistakes y/y?

(Back later for more coherent thoughts. For now, suffice to say that Tim Gunn = ♥ ♥ ♥)

ETA: k, finished it.

I feel like one of those Brangelina (is that what it's called?) fans (do they have fans?) who buy and read weekly gossip magazines (US Weekly? Something like that). But. Can't help myself.

Two choice Olga Sosnovska quotes from a 2001 Sunday Mirror article:

[She and her husband] made a pact when they first met that they would never name each other in interviews. "We both want to be self-sufficient and not use each other for anything. We met at drama school, but it was nothing like love at first sight."

I was convinced this was the case, what with the 'Unexpected' commentary and Regis and Kelly, and hardly ever showing up anywhere together.

They have been married for two years and she refers to her husband as "probably the most beautiful man in the world".

Why yes. I do believe she's right.

Mom: I made coffee.
Me: Aw, thanks. But I just had tea.
Mom: But I made you coffee.
Me: Thank you! But I don't really feel like it now.
Mom: But I made you coffee because I thought you'd like some.
Me: I would, thank you! Just not now.
Mom: But I ... made you coffee.
Me: ... I dun want it.
Mom: But [etc. etc. etc.]

(Not exaggerated for effect.)

Yay Jules Verne day!

I laughed so hard I cried.

And now (I blame Anna) I'm sort of wanting to do a Heroes fanvid to that song. I won't, though.

I think I should step away from youtube and go back to translating before my brain breaks.

Partly because I couldn't sleep last night and because I'm in one of those "I'm the most worthless piece of a human being in the world" moods, but mostly because I have to leave in half an hour and I'll probably be missing out on the pics and vids that will be surfacing.

Just when we thought Zachary Quinto couldn't be any dorkier, he is. That's sort of amazing. But where is Greg? Had I only fooled myself into thinking he'd be there? Woe.

My today:
• come back as fast as possible
• finish ~*~secret~*~ translation
• kill time reading HnG while waiting for more pics

Perfect.

Today I saw a vandalized street sign reading "ANAL" on one side and "ANAL STREET" on the other.

I laughed, because I'm twelve.

I also bought an introduction to yoga with 50 exercises. It said to "breathe evenly through both nostrils".

... That's anatomically impossible.

(I may be too pedantic to do yoga.)

I also also conferenced with my father about what I want for Christmas. The list, as it is:

• the newest Umberto Eco essay collection (I think it was called The pros and cons of dying, but I don't think a similar collection is out in English)
• a mop and a bucket
• Perfume on DVD
• The Fountain on DVD
• a tuque

In that order.

I finished that translation I was doing, and:

Me: I'll be off making icons of the "colored" people on Heroes now.
Anna: Of the PRETTY people!
Me: Yes, those. :D
Anna: As it just happens to be.
Me: Odd coincidence, in a way. But really, how much prettier can anyone get?
Anna: ... I.... I... I....
Me: See?
Anna: This is a question that would cause super computers to short circuit and explode.
Me: XD It should be a deus ex machina on the Trek movie.
Anna: Yes, this is totally how we will save the world in some science fiction story.
Me: That novel should be written.
Anna: The heroes will find themselves face to face with the super computer that is controlling the universe, and that is about to start the countdown for the destruction of the world...
Anna: But it is programmed to also answer any question that it is asked!
Anna: So they ask, in a moment of desperation "How could someone be more beautiful than Sendhil Ramamurthy?" and the computer tries to solve it.... overheats.... explodes...
Me: HAPPY END!
Anna: Yeah, it will be the end of a long, serious SF novel.
Anna: I need to write it.
Me: Plz do.

1. A Yaeko fanart done in the style of shojo manga because violet_anchovy was talking about a Heroes AU following Kôcha Ôji (The Tea Prince) with Yaeko as Hiro's green tea princess ... and I just realized while typing this that it won't work because the title is actually kôcha (black tea). Wah! But on the other hand the title is also prince, so oh well.
2. Arrested Development = I like it so far!
3. Super Paper Mario (Wii) that I bought used because I wanted to play Super Mario Galaxy but that one's being saved for Christmas = Am at chapter 1-4. It's fun and cute and the game-play is innovative, but I wish it were more challenging. Maybe it'll come.
4. Anna is awesome as usual and muses on Sam Winchester's wardrobe.
5. I was telling Jenn about this yesterday, but I want to properly meta about Mohinder's attitude towards women and how subtly I think SR plays it. So subtly that I didn't notice until yesterday, and we all know how I obsess over every small detail about Mohinder.
6. ETA: I've been reading all the High School AU fics coming out of Heroes fandom (because I like them. What), and I'm now wondering why no one has gone the route of making Gabriel and Sylar two characters, perhaps brothers or even twins. It seems so obvious. Gabriel would be the nerd and hang out with Mohinder, while Sylar would be cool and hang out with Adam. Elementary. Then, in my head, Sylar would totally try to put impure thoughts about Mohinder in Gabriel's brain, and when that didn't work (because Gabriel is stuck-up), he'd take matters into his own hands. And take Adam along for the ride. Yeah okay, I just want to see that threesome, I admit it, but who can blame me.

Wait, that was five six things.

I've suspected for a few months, since I saw caps from a Japanese TV show covering the World Tour, in particular this one shot:

But according to a blog entry linked from TWoP, it apparently is true: Sendhil is having another baby!

Hehehehe. All the best of luck. If he knew back in the end of August, she must be at least four months pregnant. I suspect more. Heeee.

なんかク、クイントにときめいたよ？ええっ、な、なんでっ？！

何があったんだ自分・・・。こないだのオタクなカーディガンが遅れて威力発揮してるんですか？そうなんですか？なんか今ザックが可愛くてしかたないんですがどうすれば。かわいいよー、ザックかわいいよー。このアイコンかわいいー！

Ela: I'M LAUGHING AT YOU
Me: =__=
Ela: Zaaaach~
Me: *bans*
Ela: Zach kawaii yo~
Me: DATTE KAWAII JANKA!!!!
Ela: And wtf, your description
Me: 可愛いじゃないかー！
Ela: It reminded me of Anne Rice
Me: あの眼鏡とかすっごい可愛いじゃん！
Me: あははは
Ela: And then I pictured Zach as Louis and my brain committed suicide
Me: あ、自分も今考えたそれ
Ela: XD
Me: んじゃレスタットはセンディルさんね？
Ela: ...
Me: クローディアがモリーの子。
Ela: Does that even fit?
Me: あそっか、吸血鬼ってセックスできないんだっけ
Me: 駄目じゃん
Ela: Don't mention that anywhere or some fanbrat will actually write it
Me: だろうねー（笑）

I don't know why I feel so bitter today, but I do! So let me spew out some vitriol!

This is one of those days where my brain has decided to give into its crush on Doctor Mohinder Suresh and keep repeating a silent chorus of "Mohinder Mohinder Mohinder Mohinder MOHINDER Mohinder Mohinder" without any need of prompting.

(I have those occasionally. Don't mind me.)

Here, have some select WTF-worthy topics from SR's IMDb board:

• Sendhil, Too Handsome For His Wife?
• Was his wife a virgin when he married her?
• Is he the only gay actor in Heroes?

But still not worse than the brain-breaking pseudo-scientific "race" discussion that was going on there a few months back.

My new year's resolution is to spend more time with the few people in my life that I actually do like and care about. In other words, try to stop being such a damn hermit.

I'm also sort of thinking of finding a full-time job and take a break from studies come summer. Will need to look around.

Wow, Ela was right. Young-ish Grunny hurt and crying and emotionally vulnerable and infected with an STD is totally hot.

Aside that, erm, not particularly making me want to watch more. I'm sure this show is very good if you like medical drama. I don't mind that House is a jerk, but I do mind that the other doctors and interns are made out to be idiots so he can appear smarter. It's bad storytelling.

In other news, I had a 60-dollar Amarone today. It was the first red wine I've enjoyed in years! Price matters. Actually I don't even know if that's a lot. I'm a beer drinker.

Rat -- Molly and family
Ox -- Caitlin and Ricky
Tiger -- Haitian
Rabbit -- Monica
Dragon -- Yaeko and Hiro
Snake -- Angela
Horse -- Peter
Sheep -- Maya and Alejandro
Monkey -- Simone and Isaac
Rooster -- Lyle and Mr. Muggles
Dog -- Sanders/Hawkins family
Boar -- Heidi with kids
Cat -- Sylar

Oh yay, Swingtown! Been a while since I saw Jack Davenport! Download faster, internet monkeys!

I can't decide if I want to go see The Golden Compass or Enchanted. Actually probably Enchanted, but it's not running in our local indipendently-owned cinema. Woe.

Unrelated but in all seriousness I feel my Intarweb Friends drifting away from Heroes fandom day by day, except maybe to lament its lack of sanity. Which is understandable, since I'm pretty tired of large parts of it too, and I don't envision myself interacting with it much in the near future either. But it's still a bit meh.

Maybe I should get a new fandom, too. I'm not an advocate of joining fandoms just to have a fandom, but it'll be good for distraction. I could get a sock and fangirl het and f/f in Supernatural. (I won't. I watched the Christmas special and it bored me out of my skull.) I'm also sort of thinking of joining Japanese fandom when 1x15 airs over there, but I'm not sure yet if they'll even like Sylar/Mohinder. And I can't join a fandom that's made up of 98% Petrellicest and calls Mohinder "the professor from India" even after 12 episodes have aired.

• Manga -- not interested in anything that actually has a fandom.
• Anime -- I've never in my life finished a series.
• US comics -- lost interest when Joss Whedon took over Runaways.
• Movies -- generally too expensive.
• UK television -- is there an Antique Roadshow fandom?
• Project Runway -- why is the slash so boring?
• Avatar -- I hear it got boring.
• Games -- I'm not going to play all of Phoenix Wright again just because fandom was three years later than me in noticing it, and Mario fandom seems scary.

... what else do people have fandoms of?

Maybe I should steal the Sims 2 my brother got for Christmas and try to get Grunny and Sendhil to fuck.

10_whores@lj prompt comm.

Guess who I'd do this with. Guess.

Too easy.

Ohhh, a kink meme! Only working to solidify that people sexualizing Claire creep me the fuck out, yay! Blonde slutty underaged cheerleader fantasies FTL!

(I know, I'm biased. But bwaaa, so creepy.)

I have to admit I laughed hard when someone said "this show needs more decent female characters (implied: aside Claire)", and would probably have replied with snark hadn't it been a, well, kink meme and it was thus off-topic. lol no, you need to get over your obsession with any woman who happens to be young and happens to have hair like that, completely regardless of what her face looks like or if she has a personality.

How useless was season two Claire, exactly? No, really. People rejecting reality and substituting it with their own version is always so funny. Ew ew ew.

I have overcome my "glass tubes inserted into private parts" trauma* by relating it to Sylar/Mohinder torture porn!

Amazing. I wonder if S/M will also cure cancer.

* No, don't worry, it didn't happen to me. It's a NaruTaru thing.

I need to draw stuff. I am instead lazying around. Yay. To be fair I do have half of tomorrow to do it, too. Then I go to work. orz

yesssss someone uploaded Grosse Pointe and yessssssssss, sendspace works for me for once! w00t!

Happy New Year 2008: An Epic Tragicomedy in Two Panels

I know I'm not the most positive person in the world, and I complain about fandom and people and the world in general every time I open my mouth. But in 2007 I met some great new people that I appreciate very much, and bonded anew over a new fandom with old friends, and I love my little wanky and fun corner of fandom very very much. So thank you to all of you. (Yes, even you guys who lurk. I know you're there.) I wish everyone the best of luck in the new year!

In 2008, I want to write a ZQ/SR HS AU. ya rly. I have the plot all worked out in this IM log right here!
