This journal is Friends Only. if you want to be added, comment.
remember to check out my info first, and see if we have things in common.
i like friends who comment and/or update often. and who are not bashers.
I am a spoilerphobe.
I don't like to know anything about my fandoms.
To clarify, things like episode titles, trailers,guest stars, shooting photos,episode promo stills, they all count as spoilers.
Is that clear?It's very simple: I don't want to know anything.
SPOIL ME AND TEMPT THE WRATH OF THE WHATEVER FROM HIGH ABOVE THE THING.

btw, i think everyone should read this post It's a guide to LJ-etiquette

FO banner by anagraphic

and with the announcement of the new companion, all my fears about Moffat's era have quickly comeback.

( not really spoilers but cutting just in case )

Does Doctor Who count? admittedly, it doesn't actually spends all that much time in space, more like in alien planets or Earth's future or past but it's still a scifi show, the TARDIS is a space-and-time ship.
and it is currently my favourite tv show.
-
Firefly/Serenity
followed very closely by Battlestar Galactica
which is also followed by Star Trek:TOS which is almost tied with Star Wars

I also like Farscape but I've only seen the first two seasons so I can't really count it.

OH MY FRAKING GOD!!!
( FRAKING SPOILERS FOR DOLLHOUSE 111 )

( spoilers for primeval 3.05 )

( dollhouse 1.10 )

Oh, that's easy.
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
I love this book, it's hilarious and adorable and it has a a little something for everyone. it has romance and action and horror and the end of the world and children's adventures and all in a wonderful language that makes you laugh and cry and you never want to finish the book.

I was curious about how an ipod looks from the inside. check the notes.

Loved the new primeval. made me cry in some bits.

It made me realise I'm rather low on shows to watch and obsess over.
That are still still airing and not on hiatus or have ended

TSCC has just ended (its season hopefully)
BSG ended,so has Pushing Daisies (well,technically there is a couple episodes left)
Doctor Who is on hiatus. so is Torchwood.

Basically,I'm watching Dollhouse,Castle and Primeval.
Well,there is also HIMYM and TBBT.
but these too seem on the verge on ending. same with Bones.
House is also nearly over and it's not as good as it once once.
Life is over (hopefully also for the season)

Caprica hasn't even started yet.

I'm not that into Criminal Minds, Fringe, Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice - I haven't caught up on those,I'm several eps behind but they're not so important.

I like Kings but it's not that great and it's been cancelled too.

CSI is fun but mostly on Lower Deck episodes, like the latest one with Wendy and Hodges and AstroQuest.

I tried watching Robin Hood 301 and it kinda bored me a bit, so I'll wait before continuing.

CSI NY I like but it's also nearly over.

And while I do have a billion shows to watch, it's fun when a show it's airing to see what other people think, read their posts an tweets and all the discussion.

What else is on? 30 rock, though I don't love it as much. My boys,which is fun and all but not worth obsessing over.
Better off ted is also pretty fun, though I'm not exactly head over heels for it.
It's been a while since I've watched Chuck and I  was never a big fan to begin with

Burn Notice doesn't come back for a while

Dexter is another show I haven't caught up on.maybe I should.

Greek's been pretty fun but not OMGAWESOME

There's a lot of things on TV,sure, but so few are are BRILLIANT. that make me go crazy obsessive and writing fic and meta and making vids or whatever.

Most seemto be of the kinds one watches, comment about a few things and then forget about.
and that's kinda boring.
I like shows that I can obsess over.
I know neither Castle nor Dollhouse or Primeval are perfect.
I'm not looking for perfection. Just something that excites me, with characters I care about so I can ignore any plotholes or look for alternative explanations.
I like shows that frak with my head and my heart.

Next on my to-watch list:
-Star Trek TOS season 3
-Dexter season 3
-Skins
-Band of Brothers
-Teachers s3 (must download first)

( Now, about TV I've watched lately: Spoilers for Bones,Primeval, Pushing Daisies and Castle )

"In the clearing beyond the castle, the twelve months sit about a fire, warming their feet, exchanging tales. They may do favours for you, if you are polite. you may pick strawberries in December's frost."

From Neil Gaiman's "Instructions" which happens to be one of my favourite poems ever.

I also thought of "I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings" from John Gillespie Magee's "High Flight"

( Instructions )

( High Flight )

Today I saw Dollhouse, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Doctor Who and Primeval.
It's weird/sad to say that Doctor Who was the least exciting of them all.



( Spoilers abound!! )

sorry about the failed cut. stupid scribefire.

I was just watching Life. I love this show. it's so good. It's very different from...well,everything else on TV. Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi are fantastic.

( spoilers about 'One' )

Probably Gallifrey.

And if I can decide to gets to live there, I'd send all geeks there and we would create a new,much more awesome civilization. and then be destroyed by cylons. perhaps it should be called Caprica instead.

Someone just spoiled me about House on twitter.
WHAT THE FRAK?!

What is wrong with you people?!

The show *just* aired!

Don't say "OH MY GOD CUDDY JUST MARRIED WILSON!!" (made up fact of course) but "OH MY GOD I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THAT" or I don't know, allude to it,dammit!

hell, say you'll be tweeting and posting spoilers so I can unfollow you.

for certain shows I'll go offline, like whenever therewas a new BSG. sometime s for dollhouse. for finales, of course.

but some things come completely out of the blue and I understand people wanting to react but think about the people who haven't seen it!

whenever I do tweet reactions I try to make it as vague as posible, then come to lj and talk all I want

simple things like " NOOOO DAMN YOU RTD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1"  are cathartic and it can be interpreted a million ways. after all, it happens in nearly every ep.

bastards,bastards,bastards.
of course, I unfollowed the person (I unfriend people who post spoilers here on lj too) but it was too damn late.

If you tell someone you love them, you don't just walk away.

Especially if it's a kid.  You can't act as a parent to a kid and then dissappear. 

( mild spoilers for Bones )

I just watched the BSG finale.
I'm still processing.
I did like it. a lot.
it was brilliant.
it answered most of my questions and in many ways, it was what I expected, but not exactly.
( there must be someway out of here )

I turned 23 today. wow, I'm old.

I wanna say happy birthday to Remus Lupin, meryttax and samincittagazze's nephew Harry.

and thank to those who've said Happy Birthday to me!



On a final note, GO VOTE FOR TEN!!!! I have gifts.


( pretty pics under here )

I just watched last night's BSG.
O_O

( beware,spoilers ahead )

I've begun to read "On being a photographer" by David Hurn. It's very good,I've really enjoyed it so far.

And I'm happy,I guess, to see it confirms much of what I've learned in the last few years.

I've only begun to take photography seriously in the last 3 or 4 years.
I've always liked it, I've always been the kid with the camera. I've also found this annoys some people. I don't know why. they certainly want to see the photos later.

well, a few weeks ago I got some photos developed,one of my few colour films and I really liked the result. It had some pretty decent shots.
compared with another series I shot a couple of years ago it was much much better. It made me feel quite proud.

As I read this book,I'm just on the first chapter, selecting a subject and I've discovered some things on my own, like not getting in over your head and be specific. Though I did learn doing school papers. or about having an idea of what to shoot, not just wandering around waiting for something,since I've done that and with luck you get a couple of photos out of it. having a idea helps,and it doesn't have to be restrictive.Choose a theme or a place and start from here.
It makes me feel good,I guess, that in all this time I've actually learned some things. (BTW,I really need a scanner for the many,many rolls of films I've got just sitting under my bed)

And I can see how useful this book is, since it's offering good advice like writing a list about subjects you like and asking yourself questions such as "is it visual?", "is it practical?", "is it interesting?" I've taken several photography classes and they all focus on the camera, on how it works,how it was created, on how to develop film,on what to do or not do, one teacher talked to us a little about composition but no one's ever talked about process, about what this guy is talking about.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying this book. I reccomend it.
