Spoilers. Big, big, big spoilers.

( The Horizon )

edit: I'm an idiot. Just took out one of my tags, as it would kinda majorly spoil things on its own, and I'm not sure

g_shadowslayer has seen the ep yet. Sorry! Please don't kill me...
And in case anyone was wondering, I redid my default Syd local girl icon. The old one's been bugging me for a while.

Current Mood: surprised

Well. That was, to say the least, interesting.

( beware of spoilers )

Current Music: Matchbox 20, "Downfall"

Fanfic commentary, shamefully late. Alias, "Ice and Glass" for

dagnylilytable. I should have done this a lot sooner, but I was so buried under school stuff all the time, and the words were never quite there. Suddenly they seem to be.

( Ice and Glass, with commentary )

Current Mood: thoughtful

I have three Christmas cards done, and I still feel like a lazy bum. But three is better than none.

I could do more, and I may write more letters later, but my printer is misbehaving. It keeps printing things, then deciding to eat them. Argh! *beats printer with stick* If it's not one thing, it's another. (It scans fine now, thank you very much. Ugh!)

Alias rerun tonight, when I was expecting, or at least hoping, for a new one. I was watching something else earlier on the same network, caught a preview out of the corner of my eye. Thought I saw Irina.

I didn't, of course. Just Sydney. Reruns. Three weeks before anything new. Damnit. *sigh* I miss my Spymommy.

So I guess I'm going to be playing around a lot more with my

irina_derevko in the next three weeks.

Bah! Alias Media's screencaps only have Jack's username from the "Sucession" chat. I really needed Irina's. Too. Will have to keep digging, I suppose. The annoying thing is that I saw it tonight, I just couldn't get close enough to see it before it was gone.

I think I'll amuse myself making icons, or something. "Miss you" just begs for it.

I keep having to slap myself on the wrist, tell myself my third muse for

theatrical_muse cannot be Sydney Bristow, that something else will hit me and I'll want it more, something I wouldn't feel so guilty about asking for... *sigh* It's not that I want Sydney so much as it is that I want something else, and a lot of times my default writing voice for Alias is Sydney, because everything happens to Sydney.

If I didn't already have Irina, I would write Jack. But for some reason writing Jack has always come easy to me, and I wanted a challenge. Maybe I shouldn't be so proud of the fact that I can channel Jack so easily, but I am.

I should go to bed, but I'm not tired. Probably a bad sign; I'm going to be awake for hours, and I may regret this tomorrow. But who cares, right? I'm on vacation

I'm really amused by

theatrical_muse. And I still have one slot left; I can play a third character if I can come up with anybody. Sydney Bristow is tempting, but someone's going to come along who wants her more than I do. Mostly I'm just bored. (And I don't want to end up in the position I'm at in the Star Wars game I sometimes play and more often ignore, where most of my characters interact all too much with each other; I play the mothers and the daughters too often.)

Something will hit me eventually, I'm sure.

I'm also tempted to go for my own slice of "WTF?" fandom (as in, someone nobody's ever heard of before) and sign up dear old Marilyn Stark (see semi-defunct fanlisting- and I really will write that stuff someday...not that anyone else cares.) Because from the writing angle, Stark is cool, she's fun to play with- yeah, she's psychotic, too, but who cares, right? And yet, I don't know- there are so many lonely little pups out there, nobody else from their world to talk to, and I don't know.

I can do the writing stuff for anyone I want, any time, without signing up, of course, but the interactivity of it is interesting- and it's been a hell of a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

(Case in point. James Bond is hitting on my Irina. I knew he would; she's female, she's breathing. 'Nuff said. I'm having a hell of a good time, but Irina Derevko does not screw the likes of James Bond. Although if he thinks she might... Excuse me a second. Irina is plotting in the back of my head right now; she thinks Bond could have his uses. I think he'd be more useful if he learned some humility. But it's James Bond. Whatcha gonna do, you know?)

I'm going to see Return of the King later today. Cannot wait. The previews & trailers I've seen look very very cool, and everybody seems to have good things to say about it. Though I haven't really been reading the RotK stuff too carefully yet- I know the basic story, of course, but I don't want to be too spoiled on the details. I'd rather see it for myself.

So. Opening weekend for the movie, last Saturday before Christmas, and the movie theater is at the mall. This should be lots of fun. Or a nightmare. I think the movie's going to be worth it, though. And then I'll come home and read what all the rest of you had to say about it.

Current Mood: amused

I feel very strange.

It's cold and I don't want to go to school, but I have an Algebra quiz and a poli sci quiz (oh, excuse me- exercize)...so I sort of have to be there, even if I'd rather not.

Alias last night was a little bit weird. Jack is my hero, though, punching out that horrible NSA guy. I adore Dangerous!Jack, but he really needs, well, More Dangerous Than Ususal!Irina to make things complete, though. *sigh* We miss our Spymommy around here, and I read something in TV Guide a week or so ago about Lena Olin wanting a little more money than they're willing to give her right now...

Honestly. Pay the woman; she's worth it, I think.

I just hope it doesn't cross their minds to replace her. I don't think they will, though, not with her husband hanging around (promoting the smallest scenes of the new eps, which are never quite what we're led to think they are). So I guess at least that's something.

Oh, yes, and am I the only person who thought, "oh, god, not Rambaldi again?"

Bleh. School.

...to update the massive unfinished fic meme from hell.

More for me than for anyone else, but

( if you're interested... )

I finished one fic that was on the old list (Visiting Hours, Harry Potter) but I've added...several more. *sigh* At least I won't be bored for a bit, right? Plus the whole NaNoWriMo. 'Cause I'm really nuts.

Probably the most overused fic title last summer, but I wrote mine, or most of it, the day after the season finale. And proceeded to lose it amidst my old school papers from last semester, history notes and math homework.

I found it again yesterday, and finished it.

( Two Years )

Took me hours to find the part of this I wrote last semester, and I was paniced that I'd lost it for a while... Anyway, I think some parts of it that I wrote yesteday may have been colored by having seen the seaosn premier, but oh well.

Will post on the sites as soon as I've gotten a summary written. Oh yes, and I get home from *sigh* class.

Computer problems solved after several hours of downloading what's probably the most popular file on the internet just now- yep, it's the new worm making the rounds. I need to pay more attention to these things, though it was on the national and local news tonight. Yeah. Thanks so much, guys. A bit too late.

But it's fixed now, and I'm going to break down and renew my Norton subscription like a good girl so that in theory this doesn't happen again.

( This is going to be a long list... )

I don't want to think or talk about school, or my life, so I'm going to do a bit of slightly out of date Alias commentary.

( Countdown spoilers, & related stuff )

Current Mood: tired

Having spent two days doing math homework and taking what feels like reams of notes for my history paper, I feel like I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. I remember now how much I hate the middle of the term, and why. I want to write, and not really the Trotsky paper. I'll be proud of myself when it's done, but right now it is a thorn in my side.'

Alias, fascinating depths of Irina, and I want to write out everything that's in my head, from "A Dark Turn" to here, finish "Waiting the Dawn", my "Ice and Glass" sequel some day. But none of it's happening this week, at least not until after the paper is done.

Urbandruid, for those of you keeping score, is moving along at a pretty good clip considering the little time I have to work on it. I'm still not sure if I'll meet my deadline, but at least it gives me something to shoot for.

Current Mood: blah

Have shot off email to

thenonsense, containing list of ideas, seeking second opinon. Now have nothing else to stall with, so must go and do homework.

Blah.

Also finished Alias fic last night, Triangle. Revising last ep, "Phase One". Syd sneaks Irina out of federal custody to go rescue Jack- mother-daughter ass-kicking little adventure. Posted to ff.n despite telling self I wouldn't; like the way the reviews pop up in my inbox for a day or two after. 2 so far, not that I keep track or anything.

Sigh. Math homework. Right.
