Firefly rec, movies, and dreams

[spatz]

For Karen, if you're in the mood (yaysogladyouarehookednow!):
Divergence, by butterflykiki.
This story made me want to hide under the covers. I liked it muchly. (I was more coherent in my review, but I'm lazy now. Just go read it, for Pete's sake.)

*****

Hah, I am such a nerd. I got home Wednesday night, slept for a decent amount of time, and then-- guess what? Went to see Spider-Man 2. (no spoilers ensue, don't worry)

*swoons* I'm in love. I'm in love!!! I loved the first one, but this one is better in every possible way. The plot! The character development! The villain! The fight scenes! The special effects! The dialogue! The kissing! The subtle meta of Aunt May! The acting (especially Harry, thank god)! The adorkableness of Peter, who just could not get a frigging break!

*twirls* My allowance is going to be totally shot, but I'm seeing this movie like 16 more times.

*****

Flying west over the Atlantic takes a really fucking long time. 9 hours and 35 minutes. Then 2 hours in Memphis airport, which was still barely enough time to get through Customs (bloody paranoid inefficient *mumbles*). However, I got to watch 2 movies on the long flight that I normally wouldn't have. Guilty pleasures, both: Agent Cody Banks 2, and Miracle. I adore silly kid action movies (remember Mastermind, anyone?), and sappy team sports movies (The Big Green, The Sandlot, etc, etc).

Plus, Cody Banks was too adorable. I really want to write a story where he goes on a mission with Sydney Bristow and gets some lovely emotional scarring. Wouldn't that be fun?

*****

Fandom deprivation gave me very strange dreams in Austria. The first week, no dreams. Then, BAM, two nights of fandom-intense wacky things. Alfred discussed the purpose of superheroes with Batman with glowing insight, but I remember only a few half-phrases. Then Batman discussed the same thing with Diana, in a scene laden with UST. Curse my brain.

The next was a strange mishmash of post-apocalyptic X-Men and Harry Potter, with guest appearances by Faith from Buffy and Taura from the Vorkosigan books. It was really fun and twisted, with tunnels, dormitories full of mutant trainees, conspiracies in France in the rain, and a few badass fight scenes.

Then I had a dream which gave me an idea for an original novel. This is the second novel idea I've gotten from a dream, so that's nifty.

*****

I've been reading comic books all day and being moody. *whines* I need to curl up under the covers with lots of chocolate. I do have massive quantities that I brought back from abroad, so that's possible. I'm also trying to find post-Chosen Buffy fic to read, so any recs will win you lots of slobbery kisses.

*glomps* You're back you're back you're back! I missed you! *sniffles* I've been oh-so-bored without you. (Okay, I've been oh-so bored because it's summer. But I did miss you lots.)

Recs ... Hmm. *cheerful grin* I would give you some, but my computer is currently dead. But tomorrow or whenever it's all fixed, expect lots of recs, as I have a folder for post-finale fics in all my fandoms.

*collapses under Jenny* Hallo, darling! *tickles* Awww, I'm going to blush now.... (Really, though, you're so sweet! I've been having a bad day, but this helped muchly :)

*claps hands* Ah, excellent girl! I adore you and your neatly organized fic folder! I worked my way through everything Annakovsky has written, so that satisfied a lot of the craving. She's wonderful, have you read her? I'm off to write a glowing review....

[jrose.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Yes, well, I've been wondering for a few days when you were going to show up. Honestly, I've missed you. You're so fun! And I'm sorry you've been having a bad day ... it's in the water.

*grin* I do, too. Now if only I could remember where I put the disc everything is on ... (Organizing my recs is hard enough; I cannot possibly remember where I put things.) *nods* Yes, I've read her - or most of her stories, anyway.

You've been keeping - or have gotten yourself - caught up with fandom, I hope? It's been a fairly busy two/three weeks.

But thankfully not in the chocolate ;) Yay for truffles and fanfiction!

*giggles* That reminds me of Einstein and how he never bothered memorizing his phone number...

*laugh hysterically* Noooo, no no. I haven't even touched LJ yet. I've been unpacking and rearranging my room and dealing with paperwork. (hence the bad mood) *kicks mailbox* Stupid yearbook photos, stupid camp, stupid volunteer organization.

Okay, really need sleep now. Night, dear!

Chocolate is truly a godsend. Especially on icky days. *makes face* IM me sometime and ask me what happened with Anthony, okay?

*snickers* Of course!

Poor Katie! Well, if you want, I can email you with a quick rundown of fandom happenings ... I have a list for a friend of mine that's away at camp, I can easily tailor it for you.

Night! *hugs*

Ooooh! Will do!

Absentminded geniuses are so cute! [/Clueless voice]

That sounds definitely enticing. Send away!

[jrose.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I will. As soon as I rewrite it, as evidently all of my documentsand my music and yr gods it's all gone. (Which I just found out.) I think it's gonna be antoher chocolate day.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

What happened to all your files? *send e-chocolate*

[jrose.livejournal.com]

They're all dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. *panicks* They're all dead and I have no chocolate. *winces*

HEEEEEE! Thanks!

I'm writing River-fic. At least, I think it's River fic. I keep coming back to Mal and Serenity. I'll get that finished sometime soon, hopefully. I have to finish my Gilmore Girls ficathon (editing) and then completely write the pinch-hitter fic that I volunteered to (in my defense, I have it almost completely planned out).

Then, of course, I have to write Thor/Q (star trek) for the multiverse ficathon.

Erm. Thor is so hard! Which means I need to read him, heh.

My friend George is MAJOR into comic books, and I sent her your way so that you can squeal about fandom together. She lurves teh batman.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

Shiiiiiiiiit. *hugs Jenny*

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

There's sooooo many more recs where that came from. Just say the word..... But I shall refrain, because you said you wanted to write before reading.

Oooh, River fic is my second fav behind Mal/Serenity fic, so I once again see that you have stunning taste ;) And there's simply not enough of either kind!

GEYAAAAGGH! My eyes!!!!

Heehee, excellent! I lurve Bats, and I've been contemplating breaking into his comics, but I have no idea where to start. I'll pounce her and quiz her on strategy. Thanks, darlin'! You send me the best toys ;)

another amp vs slash rant that's fun (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sarken/496649.html). If you don't know sarken, she's lovely.

You, my dear, need to have a reccing journal. You'd fill it quickly. :-D.

Gosh, it's kinky pwp m/m. I've *never* done that before, omg, noooo.

I talked about you with Georgie last night. She's my lovely. :-D
