And the last part of the fic.

( Gang aft agley - but then again... )

I have finished ice cream fic! Yay! High level of schmoop and the usual other warnings.

( Best Laid Plans O' Mice and Men )

My broadband was down when I got back from work. This was bad. But I wrote fic and watched last night's episode of my darling show before heading out to lose spectacularly in a quiz. Three science rounds - science, natural world and medicine - felt unbalanced against the general knowledge, stage and screen, history and sport. Too boy friendly. Give me some arts and books please. Onward.


( Spoilery spoilery spoilery )

New SPN. Finally.

( Farscape did it better )

Now I am off to gym armed with new Podfics.

Part five of the ongoing ice cream AU thing. This got a little racy but still remains schmoopy and sickly and is sheer, utter escapism.

( Time for tea. And other activities. )

Watching Glee. Last episode of stuff shown. Just got chills from Mercedes singing. Wow.

Note my lack of spoilerific comments.

I'm really really really enjoying this now.

In the end, I watched half at school and the second half now. I completely ran out of time to voice post. Maybe over the weekend.

( New show has made me happy all day )

And now I think I'm off to watch Leverage. Brainless fun for me!

Another part of the J2 Ice Cream Verse thing. At least it's still AU. That makes me feel better. Althought the level of schmoop continues to rot my teeth quicker than candy apples.

And tomorrow is Friday and tonight is new show night and I'm almost finished writing my Buffy unit for the Media Studies class. For lo, I shall finally teach my class about Buffy. I have a slide that says "Witchcraft: Lesbianism and Drug Addiction". It made me happy.

This is a voice post of a drabble by scoopchick. I like this idea.

I signed up for the SPN Big Bang thing. I may possibly be insane. But then I started working on an idea that has been noodling around my head since way back and I'm at 6000 words with the first half pretty much plotted out. Maybe this will give me the push to get it finished. In the meantime, more of the J2 AU ice cream thing. So sickly sweet. Again, I have plotted more. I feel so independent and strong with my actual planning and working things out in advance. Not the way I used to write at all. Hmmm.

Also. I hate parent evenings. In that, I accept them as part of my job and don't mind doing them but I object to the fact that all the kids that come are the ones you pat on the head and praise up to high heaven. Gives them a confidence boost, I suppose. And it is nice meeting the parents (and understanding where the weird comes from). Had to scrape the car when I got out though. Cold but no snow.

I love Awards season. I adore all the dresses and the bad speeches and the dreadful red carpet hosts. There's no way on Earth I'm staying up to watch the Golden Globes tonight (although I normally do the Oscars) but I'll get up early and watch bits.

One of the things that's different about this year is the Twitter stalking I am engaged in. That makes the experience all sorts of newly interactive. Rather good fun!

Back home now. Finally went to see Avatar

( Spoiler cut though I might be the last person on Earth to see it )

Another part of the Ice Cream Man Jared and Big Brother Jensen thing. I know I promised no WIP posting but I have a plan and ideas and everything. Obviously the day from hell does not dent my creativity.

( Flavoursome - in which Jensen loves coffee and Jared is an enormous klutz. Like Bella Swan bad. )

Another quick AU prompt, this time Icecream-man!Jared Big brother!Jensen. I quite like this and think I may make this longer. I have some more ideas for this pair.

A quiet day today. So quiet I watched the Antiques Roadshow. I feel about eighty and very middle England at the moment.

I'm spending time listening to music and noodling away on some fic prompts. In the spirit of sharing, I give you this track here called Never Go Out at Night. This is by Amy Sawers, who is a local artist that I saw during the summer and was just blown away by. This seems to be a perfect Jo Harvelle song to me. More the mood although many of the lyrics are very appropriate for a Supernatural setting. Enjoy.

Back to work tomorrow. Many buses not running. Maybe fic at work if quiet.

I'm pretty sure other people had valuable things to do with their snow days. Today I watched cricket, read fic and finished this off. I started this ages ago (well, three weeks ago) but am holding firm to my "not posting WIPs" rule. I do wonder about posting it piecemeal to see if I got more comments but that would be because I have rapidly turned into a comment whore.

It looks likely I'll be back to work tomorrow despite the fact there is a substantial amount of ice everywhere and no buses are running and every single surrounding primary is still closed. I'm not bitter. So to make me feel better and so I get lots of emails tomorrow to make me smile, I'm posting this.

The beginning and end are a little abrupt but I like large chunks of the middle. It's more J2 schmoop but this time I have tried the re-write a film genre. This is my version of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was only upon writing this that I realised how little personality the female characters actually have whereas the male ones get all the good bits. And writing a slash version, whilst playing with stereotypes, really doesn't address this.

Anyway.

( Why Can't I? - Part 1 )

Stolen from scoopchick.

( Turn on your Itunes, Ipod, MP3 or whichever things that plays delicious tunes for you on to shuffle; and write down the first 15 songs that come up and explain if you like or dislike them! )

I have broken 1400 songs on my phone and have another couple of albums to add. I like having variety for when I'm in the mood for different things. I continue to have no actual descernible taste in music.

Snow days continue. The school is technically open to staff but neither of my immediate bosses (who live in my town) are going in and my garage is frozen shut. Snow clearing slowly in glorious sunshine. Watching cricket in South Africa. Very sunny and warm there despite England playing for a draw.

So. After eight episodes of Smallville, I am actually watching Babylon 5. There was a random episode (The Long Twilight Struggle) on and we went and got the DVDs after that. Start of Season 3. Marcus Cole!

I feel I must comment on how amazing Andreas Katsulas was. Even through all that make-up and contacts, he still blows me away. And Londo's descent into damnation. Amazing. Delenn! Delenn rules. As does Ivanova. I adore this show.

I think one of my problems with Smallville is its lack of humour. I don't want it to be campy because then it really wouldn't work but everyone takes everything so seriously. There's no fun. That's why I like Supernatural. You get the funny with the angst. Anyway, I'd like a little more whimsy. Didn't they learn from Buffy?

On the snow front. The buses aren't running, the surrounding primaries are shut but at the moment I'm back to work tomorrow. Despite the fact it's been snowing hard all day. Decision by 7am. Shame I have to get up before then to get organised.

I am now watching Smallville Season 4. Since it's snowing AGAIN this is probably a good plan.

This show really is all about Tom Welling's torso. Being as I haven't really watched Smallville since Season 1 was originally on Channel 4 (back in 2001/2?), it's a weird experience. Michael Rosembaum's Lex is totally hot for Clark. I adore Lois and hope she comes back soon and Chloe! I missed you, Chloe! I'd forgotten how anti-power Jonathan Kent was.

On the other hand, it's so slow moving. And there's lots of random budget saving conversations where people actually tell people what happened rather than showing it. And it's just really not that good. It's very pretty and shiny. Part of my brain really wants to go grab some Babylon 5 though.
