Okay, time to get down to work!

Another one of those very randomly spaced updates:

1) I have seen Star Trek (AU), Transformers and stared watching Merlin. Star Trek was really good Even if B5 IS BETTER and opens up the world to all sorts of things. Transformers was FUN and full of explosions - I will watch anything once with lots of explosions and a good soundtrack. I'll probably even watch it multiple times if I can buy it cheap. Makes good treadmill footage. - aaaaand Merlin is the kind of addictive ridiculousness of the old Xena and Hercules stuff, taking myths upside down and side ways and yet being REALLY REALLY fun. I love watching it online too - I know EXACTLY where the commercials will be. (Yes, I'm not youtubing or something else it - I'm waiting until it is posted on the website. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaame.)

I never claimed to be a movie/film critic.

2) We are currently working on a Haruko cosplay for kiraya to go with my Canti costume for Otakon. We're running into Some Issues (COSTUME SCENE IS CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER, KIR - IM ME ASAP FOR WIG LINKS) and were considering doing a Cissnei and Elena Turks cosplay. Except, you know, my black jacket (they were black in BC, okay?) is a) REALLY HOT and b) too tight. And I'm having a devil of the time finding a wig that looks vaguely right but won't cost me like $40 and have to cut most of it off. FOUND A PERFECT ONE - with the long piece of hair on the wrong side. Bugger.

3) I have started Exercising big time, using a combination of Prevention techniques. Tomorrow I start the Prevention Flat Belly Diet. Hopefully, I will do well with this - I'll keep you guys informed!

What hasn't happened yet is more fic writing. Gah. I need to get another chapter done SOON since we wanted to post by...hahaha, tomorrow and we're catching up with ourselves way too fast.

To-Do List (this is the only way I get things done, I swear)

1) Clean Bathroom
2) Trash/Recycling (tonight)
3) Discuss cosplay stuff buys with kiraya. Make purchases as much as possible.
4) Farmers Market (tomorrow)
5) Mail letter to get savings account.
6) Check for lighter black jacket at resale store.
7) Family Room
8) Study Room
9) Hall
10) Do at least fifteen minutes of GRE vocab prep

YAY! MERLIN IS AMAZING :D :D :D

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

I TOTALLY EXPECTED THIS RESPONSE FROM YOU. XD

[knowing-shadows.livejournal.com]

I LOVE MERLIN A BIT TOO MUCH, I KNOW :D :D :D

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

JUST A BIT, YEAH.

[knowing-shadows.livejournal.com]

I TAKE IT BACK - YOU CAN'T LOVE SOMETHING TOO MUCH WHEN IT'S THIS AWESOME :D

I just saw Star Trek too, and on the B5 note >> Is it just me or did the Romulan ship really really look like a Shadow Vessel? XDD

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Crossed with a Volron planet killer YES. XD;;

You do know we still ♥ you even when the fic writing goes slowly, ne~?

Speaking of which, ♥! Yay, Turks BC cosplay and exercising and movies~~!!! Also, cheers, because B5 is totally better. ^-^;;;;

Blegh, GRE studying... Fun times, that is not. I don't know if it'd be any help to you, but I found making my own flashcards for the GRE super helpful. (I'd offer to send them to you, but one of my co-workers already called dibs, and I'd feel bad backing out. ^.^;;) It... admittedly sounds kinda dumb, and is *so* third grade, but they're great for quick practice. Unless, y'know, you're already using them to make the most of your fifteen minutes, in which case I feel silly. ^.^;;;

But yes~~ good to hear from you~~!!! ♥

I know you do, Rose-twin. The rest of them might roast me...

BABYLON FIVE FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!!!

Actually, I'm using the online free versions I don't' have to write. XD;; It does seem to be working /some/....

GLAD YOU'RE LIKING MERLIN <3

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

The fic in the fandom is awesome. I blame Kaz - I read her fic before I knew anything about the series and it was awesomely hysterical and...yeah.

I'm always glad to hear of another person who isn't getting all thingy about RotF's faults and perceived faults.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

I've seen some pretty big essays on it on the flist. It makes me go o.O But hey, whatever floats your boat.

EXPLOSIONS.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've seen a few too, though the one I liked was straya's, but then she was defending the movie and pointing out how daft the racism accusations were.
