B5 watch continues: G'Kar <3

I am not happy that apparently they aren't going to include performances of the Best Song nominees at the Oscars. Fuck you, Oscars, Bret singing with Muppets would have been awesome. I hope they change their minds.

I may have brought t-shirt today. I know, more geeky t-shirts, but Troy and Abed!

Edit: Do you know what you shouldn't discover at 11:40pm when you have work tomorrow? That one of your favourite authors has posted a new 30,000 word canon AU. it opens with a Steve and Jenna scene, you guys ... what is self control, exactly?

I saw the latest H50 sneak peek - well okay the first one, as after seeing that I decided I was going to need to watch the episode either in a very calm place or with alcohol and as a result I just couldn't quite face the second peek. Prove me wrong, show. Please? I don't like character assassination of my favourite character. Cheers.

However talking of H50 - whoever put these two things together is awesome. 10 Things and Steve/Danny are not two thing I would have put together - but it's awesome and adorable, and the .gif is perfect. Their faces!

Living with Chronic Bitchface - this comic illustrates something that happens to me ALL THE TIME - it happened to me today in fact.

For a movie that involves Chris Pine and Tom Hardy in suits blowing up shit the This Means War Trailer looks pretty bad. I mean, just the whole concept, the people in it look very pretty, but I don't think that's going to be enough. Fandom might have fun with it though.

I am however going to pay to see what I imagine is going to be a horrendous take on The Three Musketeers, so maybe you can't judge my taste. ;) It's Matthew MacFayden's fault - and the fact that Christoph Waltz is playing Richelieu which is amazing casting.

I started watching Breaking Bad tonight too - watched 4 episodes. Insane television but amazingly done. I can see why people go on about it.

So, I'm now in Wellington. Oh, I've missed this ridiculous city. In the taxi on the way into the city it really felt like coming home. I mean, I'll always be from Christchurch, but Wellington is definitely more like home now. I missed so much about, and a lot of that is food-centric, which I didn't expect, but I probably should have. I was walking around on Wednesday making a mental list of places I needed to eat.

I've had one job interview (on the day I arrived no less), but I didn't get it, so I've been looking at temping (again) and other roles. We'll see what happens, I guess. I also need to flat hunt, but I'd like to get the job thing underway first. If any locals know of anything going, whether that be flats of jobs, let me know.

Otherwise, it's been all H50. I've now seen all of Season 1 and oh god, they are all so ridiculous and pretty and I love them. Steve especially. Yeah, that's a shocker. I've always had a small thing about Navy SEALs (I think there was a documentary I watched when I was a kid, I have no idea, I'm also fascinated by aircraft carriers), and this fandom has made it so much worse.

There's some really quite good episodes in the season, but also some ones which well, was the Puff Daddy one really necessary? This show can stunt cast like no ones business.

There was also this promo, which Tumblr had a collective freak out about, which well, just watch it. Steve, you are so precious. And insane. So insane. I saw a comment in someone's LJ about how he actually might have less common-sense that John Sheppard, and I think that's true. Who even thought that was possible?

Two fic recs:

This Thing of Ours (It Needs a Better Name) (35814 words) by leupagus

Mafia AU - and it's glorious. Danny is amazing as a mob boss and Steve is well, Steve, so a BAMF. The way the S1 plot is altered is so well done, and the twists and turns had me on the edge of my uh, bed. It's a long read - but so, so worth it.

Ho'oponopono (17092 words) by ember_firedrake

Steve/Danny. Danny is caught in a Groundhog Day/Window of Opportunity like scenario. So well done, and the characterisation is spot-on.

(Yay for the AO3 share button).

I would also like to say that I am in no way thinking about making a Steve/Danny vid to a pretty cheesy pop song. Except, that I totally am. It works just too, too well.

And there's still fic bunnies. Oh god, this show.

Yay for September though. Fringe, Community, The Good Wife are all back, and well, this ridiculous show is too. There should be icons.

I managed to not be a complete freaked out mess by the time I watched this. Avoiding Tumblr, an awesome Commuity ep and beer all helped:

And talking of the awesomeness of Community:

Anyway, I need coffee and then, then sadly I need to tidy my room in an insane way. I'm moving out in three weeks and I have to sort out what I want to ship home, what I want to chuck, and it needs to be in a state where prospective flatmates can see the room. Fun afternoon planned.

My friends are moving out of the flat today too. This really feels like things are drawing to a close. *sigh* Not ready to deal with this yet.

This week has been blah. I have done cool things - I went to a special screening of Brazil introduced by Jonathon Pryce (hadn't seen it before, very awesome) and went to a taping of a Chris Addison TV special (he was delightful, and tweeted me back this morning :D) - but other than that, I've just felt tired, lazy and stupid. Most of all stupid. And do you know what I hate feeling above nearly all other things? Stupid. This week it even included the bonus of feeling like I'm disappointing people. My favourite.

... I might need a holiday. It's true. I need to book flights to Berlin, and book accommodation in New York, Boston and DC (recommendations/offers of couches welcome) because it's all getting quite close. Dude.

Anyway, links:

* Donald Glover performs the Spanish class rap with a fan (Watch as this gets in my head). He's so awesome, though it can be quite weird going from a Community ep to listening to his rap songs. The songs are pretty cool though.

* Interesting Fringe article on the love triangle - makes some quite interesting points about the two Olivias and Peter, although I would argue that the developments in the latest ep didn't quite come out of nowhere.

* Walter, what the fuck are you wearing? - oh the other places this could go, especially considering Josh's looong and let's face it at times a little suspect film career (no Cursed, I'm not looking at you at all, why would you think that).

* Aww look at them - I've had my issues with Peter/Olivia this season at times, but oh the smiles.

Week 1 of Fringe hiatus is not even complete and the thought of another two is killing me. I'm really going to try and avoid final episode spoilers. No, really, I am.

I didn't intend Fringe to take this over, but uh, looks like it has. Sorry? ;)
