Leverage is back! YAY! I don't have much to say about this episode, much like many of their episodes. Not because I don't like them, but because they're not full of DRAMA. Leverage is sort of like the anti-fandom-insanity show. Or something.

But I have to comment on the preview for next week! ( Spoilers for the promo. )

Current Mood: pleased

( Leverage: The Queen's Gambit Job )

( Torchwood: 4x08 )

I've not watched (nor do I plan on watching) the new DW episode. I am amused though that reactions on the flist either seem to be "BEST THING EVER" or "WHAT THE HELL?" Mwah.

( What I've been able to gather from reading people's reviews. )

So I did that meme thing with pics.

Choose 5 fandoms, then answer the questions. (No looking at the questions first.)

1. Doctor Who
2. Sherlock
3. Leverage
4. Torchwood
5. SG-1

Current Mood: awake

I'm not sure I have a whole lot to say about this week's Leverage or Torchwood. Maybe a couple of very minor things.

( Torchwood 4x03 )

( Leverage: The Hot Potato Job )

Unrelated to anything, I've been having very vivid dreams lately - probably the new medication. I dreamed that Benedict Cumberbatch had decided to join a ballet company. I was quite cranky. Fandom was thrilled to see him in tights, but I was only all "WHAT ABOUT SHERLOCK??!" In fact...I sort of woke myself up crabbing about it. (Yes, I sometimes talk in my sleep.)

Current Mood: working

( Leverage: The 15 Minutes Job )

Current Mood: chipper

I didn't catch Leverage yet. Too busy with the holiday weekend. But it looks like it's getting thumbs up from my flist. Yay! (Please don't spoil me.)
Hey, doesn't Torchwood start this week? Bring on the CHEESE. And the soul-crushing. And Barrowman scene chewing. And even the fandom flailings. :D
UGH. IT IS HOT. AND HUMID. SAN DIEGO SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF WEATHER. WE SHOULD HAVE DRY HEAT. BLEH.
Sherlock fic rec: The Long Drive (and it has sequels.) Lestrade, Sherlock and John on a road trip. Hilarity and cows ensue.

Current Mood: hot

These are a few of my favorite things [in this episode]...

( Mini picspam of The Long Way Down Job )

Current Mood: good

Leverage! Never leave me again! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

*loves my team*

Nothing much spoilery to add. This is my go-to feel-good show. :)

Current Mood: happy

It's September! Does this mean I can officially crave pumpkins and pumpkin-related things?
Go forth and prompt/write at the Doctor/Rose Fixathon! (3 pages of prompts already!)
Nothing really huge to say about Leverage's "The King George Job," but ( Read more... )
Holiday weekend! 3.5 days off! And my parents are coming down. I know this because I got an email from my mom saying she was bringing a turkey to grill. Okay! :D
ETA: I've been looking at Kindles and clones, but am not convinced about any of them. What I'd actually like to do is to read fics in book form since I really don't like reading on a monitor. But I have seen a Kindle in action and it looks pretty good - almost like reading on paper. The problems are numerous though: the tiny Kindle looks too tiny; the big Kindle apparently is a bit weighty to hold for long periods; the big Kindle doesn't have wifi; PDF files are doable but can't reduce/enlarge text like book files... Why haven't magic books been made yet?

Current Mood: sleepy

I finally had a chance to watch Leverage. (I actually taped it. On my VCR. I'd forgotten what those things are for other than changing the channel.)

I haven't posted about Leverage in a while, but I'm caught up through The Gone-Fishin' Job, and I LOVE MY TEAM. :D I never feel like I have anything deep to say about the show, but it really does fill me with fannish glee. I can't even decide which character dynamics I like the best because it changes every episode. ("I love watching those two together! Now I love watching those two together! "Now three...OMG, THEY'RE ALL AWESOME.") But there are only 3 episodes left this season? Boo.

( A team-ness gif behind the cut. )
Random HP update: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME!!! That is all.
I finally have tiny tomatoes! (I planted late - not until the beginning of June.) And they are very very good. Just the Sweet 100s this year since I was late in planting and there wasn't much selection left. Next year I want to be more on the ball and get something more unusual.

( Some general babble on Leverage: The Jailhouse Job and The Reunion Job. )
Speaking of the overwrought angsty drama, I tried out the first three episodes of Mad Men. It seems to be a world filled with sad, pathetic characters (and ones who sometimes do stupid things just to propel the plot), and I found myself asking "is this trip really necessary?" by the end of the third ep. The answer was "no" so I deleted the rest of the disks from my Netflix queue.
The Thursday Next book series is still giving me no end of amusement. ( Cut for spoilers for The Well of Lost Plots. )

I've been scribbling some Harriet/Peter stuff and some Doctor/Rose stuff in the last week or so. Maybe all this reading has put me in a writing mood? Harriet/Peter is quite fun to write since you can get all deep about just about anything, and let your inner student loose on a thesaurus. The problem (as always) is my inability to write plot. If I were to seriously write H/P fic, I'd want it to be more than a vignette.

The D/R stuff is (also as always) fluff. Normally I would shoot it off to goldy_dollar and make her write more, but apparently nowadays the story would quickly dissolve into BLOOD AND TEARS AND NO ONE WOULD EVER BE HAPPY AGAIN. Pffft.
Speaking of reading, a quick rundown of stuff I've gone through in the last few days:
- 44 Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith. Did not care for it at all. I found every character deeply annoying and would not care a lick if any of them fell off a cliff. I don't need for every character to be some kind of bright shining star, but I do need to find them interesting. There were a few humorous moments, but I was completely turned off by everyone.
- The Cat Who Could Read Backwards by Lilian Jackson Braun. I've never read any of the "Cat Who..." series before and thought I'd try it. It was cute and a light read. I'll probably read more - it's a good bedtime book.
- The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. I'm not really into reading sci-fi and fantasy (although I like watching it), but this was a lot of fun. A billion literary in-jokes, wordplay, etc., and I was totally amused that this was an AU world filled with zeppelins. Also, I TOTALLY want a dodo bird. More than anything. :D I'm now in the middle of the next in the series: Lost in a Good Book.
I've come to the conclusion that I really love reading mysteries with a female protagonist - characters like Harriet Vane or Thursday Next.
NEW LEVERAGE TONIGHT! \o/
