The Tudors, Season 2  
Okay, first: I I have a job! I'm working in a museum, the pay is not incredible but it will pay for rent and food. And it's doing something that I love. So it should be good. It does take a 45 minute drive which will be a problem. But whatever, I take what I can get.

Just finished marathoning The Tudors season 2 to celebrate. And if you don’t watch the Tudors…really, you should! And to show you my love , I am using pictures! WARNING: This post is the opposite of dial-up friendly!

For some reason, I never really watched s2 until now. I caught a few scenes here and there, but not enough to form a conclusive opinion. But since I was happy, what better way to celebrate than with a factually inaccurate period piece TV show with pretty costumes and pretty people? So, I went out and bought s2. And it was an amazing decision!

( Seriously, you guys, this show is awesome. )

Apparently I had more to say about FlashForward than I thought!  
( Spoilers for episode 2 )

Sigh. I seem to have been caught into the addictive power of conspiracy theory/sci-fi/mystery TV. GAH, I thought once Lost is over in May 2010 I would be free, but I guess not!

Friends Partially?  

My last journal was public, and lately it's been friends-only. So I'm switching it again, I guess - a select few entries will be public, but the vast majority will be friends-only.

So comment here to be added! In all likelihood, I probably will - just tell me how you know me or how you found me (i.e. common interests).

Note: Most of my very old entries are f-locked. I started sorting them, then got bored. Sorry about that.

Music Meme  

Stolen from various people.

Put your iPod on shuffle and write down the first line of each song that comes up (I did 100, just 'cause). In the comments give me the name and artist of whatever songs you can identify (it's kind of like that moviequote meme but with songs).

There were quite a few instrumentals that came up, but I skipped those.

icons!

Harry Potter (the Black sisters), A Great and Terrible Beauty quotes (vague TSFT spoilers), Grey's Anatomy, The Other Boleyn Girl. For the Black sisters, I used Helena Bonham-Carter for Bellatrix, Liv Tyler for Andromeda, and Nicole Kidman for Narcissa.

And yes, I am aware that Helen McCrory has been cast as Narcissa, but since she looks nothing like my mental image of Narcissa, I am blissfully content to use Nicole Kidman in my icons.

(Seriously, though, what genius cast Helen McCrory as Narcissa? I mean, how is that possible? I'm not asking for Nicole Kidman, although that'd be awesome, it's just that they should get someone that remotely resembles the role...I'm just saying.)

I am happy that DH is going to be split into two movies though, so they can fit in all of the book's awesomeness. Or more of it than they usually do, at any rate.

What Your Handwriting Says About You
You are highly energetic. You are a passionate, intense, vigorous person.

You are very extroverted and outgoing. You are loving, friendly, and supportive. However, you are also manipulative and controlling at times.

You are extravagant, over the top, and indulgent. You set trends and influence people.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart.

You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous.

I'm seeing the Golden Compass tonight - I'm so excited! I'll probably make a movie post later today or tomorrow telling you guys how I liked it.

By the way - ANTM fans! I am sooooo happy that Bianca is gone. I really hope Chantal wins! But I wouldn't really mind if Saleisha or Jenah win. Bianca was the only one I really didn't like.

On a random note, does anyone else agree that summer is slipping away too fast? :(

You Are Rouge Red

Of all the reds, you are the most energetic and vibrant.
You never need to recharge, and in fact, you often recharge others.
Gutsy and brave, you've never let your fears stop you from doing anything.
You figure that life is all about experiences, and you'll always take that leap of faith.

I have a new fic written!  

x-posted at my writing journal,

[info]queen_tuala

I have a new fic up at fanfiction.net! Lucius/Narcissa, I think /maybe/ the last of my fics about them. Possibly. I may write another about them in childhood, but I doubt I'll be doing any more prison-love ficlets. Still my second-favorite HP ship, but I'd like to leave them on this note, I think. Unless, like I said, I want to do a childhood/Hogwarts fic.

Random ff.net stuff  

I know that it's been going on for a while, but I haven't ranted about it before, so I'll do it now - it irritates me to no end that now summaries on fanfiction.net don't display slashes. So when someone tries to write a Kel/Dom fid but doesn't capitalize either name, it turns out to look like keldom. Which to me looks like a weird form of the word 'kingdom'. And in other cases it'll look just like a weird combination of the two.

And this also has been going on for a while (I haven't written anything until recently, so I can't say how long) but it seems the review alerts are dead >_<

And I realize this post was really, really random.

Book recs  

I need to start updating again, more regularly.

Does anyone have any good book recommendations? I'm completely at a loss for good books to read - I ordered a few books off of Amazon, but I just can't get into them at the moment.I love fantasy and historical fiction, among other genres, so yeah.

Meh  
I feel vaguely traitorous to my Luke/Lorelai ship, because I really, really like the new season of Gilmore Girls and am starting not to mind Chris/Lorelai. I mean, I prefer Lorelai/Luke, but the last episode was so damn cute. I wish Lane and Zach were in it though, 'cause I think their storyline is really interesting, but they'll be in the next episode, maybe. Rory and Logan need to break up, though.

Sort of back writing in the Tamora Pierce fandom, with a new writing community to rec - 

[info]5sentence_fics which I adore. Great prompts. Anyway, my new fic:

Unstoppable

Because I love writing all-consuming obsession, especially between Tristan and Yolane. Oh hell, I just love writing Tristan and Yolane, period. Anyway, I actually am undertaking a multi-chapter fic, which weirds me out somewhat because I haven't written one of those in over a year (besides the 5trueloves fics, which I didn't publish on ff.net or anything).

Anyone else excited for Philippa Gregory's new book, The Boleyn Inheritance? At least in the U.S. it comes out in December. I really hope it's up at the same level as The Other Boleyn Girl because her later books I haven't been extremely impressed by.

I'm also excited for the movie that comes out next year.

Another plug  
I've been plugging a lot, and I'm sorry about that...but my newest entry for [info]5trueloves is up!

For the first time in a while, I think I actually might be committed to my newest idea for an original fiction piece (fantasy). It's not a sure thing, because I lose interest in writing fics and especially original fiction easily, but this time I hope will be different.

Anyone else going to watch Gilmore Girls tonight? I hope this season is better than the last two, which I really was disappointed by. They have a new writer, so that could either be good or bad.

Plugging my first drabble for [info]5trueloves. This one is Aly/Nawat, and very fluffy and sweet, if you like the pairing.

Aly wonders if Nawat loves her. Tamora Pierce fandom.

I love writing communities.
