oceana

I've been neglecting my fannish duties, because life these days is mostly, well, not life. It's work, and work, and work, and sometimes sleep. though I prefer to see the horse instead of sleeping.

Work really has been crazy, and not in a good way. But, despite what I said above, I do sleep. Remember the "Improve Oceana!" plan that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago? Well, sleep is part of the improvement, and I'm trying, mostly successfull, to get six hours per night these days (this is a vast improvement about my previous sleep
schedule which was anywhere between 3 and 5). So, yay me.

I'm also slowly dropping weight. Very slowly. With lots of setbacks, but I'm weirdly enough incredibly motivated, so I'll keep on trying.

Improve me!, that's the motto.

But enough with the boring real life already! Fandom it is!

Here's what my fannish self is doing these days:


- rewatching Season 2 of Dark Angel
I'm FINALLY rewatching the rest of Dark Angel season 2. I really really like the show. This is the third time I'm watching it, I think. I remember buying and watching it for the first time and then watching it again just a few weeks later, because it was so good, and I though I had missed so much the first time around (like, drooling over Jensen, when I was all fixating on Logan). However, I always get stuck
in the middle of season 2. The whole oh-so-dramatic-why-can't-we-touch-Max and Logan thing keeps getting a bit much in that time, even (shamefully underused) Alec can't make up for that.

So, even though I had started rewatching DA weeks ago, I took a little break in the middle of season 2 and went through a whole season of Smallville (yikes!) and some horrible horror flics. It happens. But now I'm back with DA and enjoying the hell out of it. I'm really going to miss it (again.) I wonder if there had been another season if it had been givena less stupid title. Dark Angel? Seriously? For the longest time I thought it was a really melodramatic vampire drama, and so I never watched it!


- watching more J2 movies
Yeah well, what can I say. It's the internet's fault! Everything is available everywhere, and I have three credit cards, I just can't stop myself! ;-) (currently that Christmas movie Jared did, Ten Inch Hero and the unspeakable movie with the Olsen twins are waiting to be watched. After Dark Angel, of course. I expect Friday 13th to be delivered soon, but i won't watch it, because I get scared. On the other hand, the Olsen twin movie is probably scarier. Decision, decisions...)


-reading J2 fic
There's so much! And so many recs! And so many other fics that those people whose fics I like wrote that I have to read as well! OMG it'll never end and I'll have to spent the rest of my life reading J2 fic and still won't be able to catch up!

*panics*

No, just kidding. I have about 25 tabs open in my browser, most of them fics, some fo them recs, and when i'm done with those, I'll get organized. Meaning, I'll file all those fics that I randomly saved into folder titled "new", "newer", "more new fic", "even more new fic and it's still all J2" and the like, and I'll post recs and leave
feedback. Probably, because I suck at leavin feedback, and yes, I totally blame it on my sleep schedule (see above). I've been told that sleep is more important thatn feedback, so there. (in case you write J2 and I've friended you in the last couple of weeks, I probably read and completely loved your fic. Just in case you were wondering.)


LISTEN to J2 fic
Oh, isn't podfic like, the best invention, like, ever? *g*
I downloaded TONS of it, and now I can listen to J2 when I do boring, but necessary things, like cleaning, or doing the dishes, or blowdrying my hair. Life is so good. :-) This also means that I'm consummating about three or four different media every day, reading fic, watching TV, listening to different fic, plus the real books I
read (yes, I read real books as well. You can see which ones in my lj profile or at goodreads (http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/177596) where I spend quite a lot of times cataloguing my books). I'm sure if I continue this way, i'll break my brain in no time at all, and then the real fun will start!

So, that's basically what i've been up to. How's everyone else? I' d ask you all to tell me about something you loved in fandom recently, but I tried that before and no one ever responded. Oh well. Maybe your fandom isn't very loveable these days?
If it isn't, come and watch DA with me. And read J2. It'll make you heart smile (at least that's what it does to me).

*hugs everyone*

Yesterdays crisis about losing my independence to some gun-carrying, overly protective AlphaMale (both of them way to old for me, btw. Not that I'd mind.), has got me thinking about the men in my life.
Hmm.

I might have to post about that some day. Not today though, because my Dark Angel Season 2 DVDs arrived, and I have an important exam coming up.
Hmm, should I study or should I watch how Logan and Max desperately want each other, until it tears them apart. Maybe they finally get together in the second season?
Must find out.
It's so nice to be totally unspoiled for a whole show. :-)

Meanwhile, those of you who are already interested in NCIS, and those of you who haven't succumbed to my shameless pimping attempts yet (sooner or later I will get you), head over to oceanas_recs, where I got two very good NCIS recs.
Both of them about Kate, both of them implied het.
But you'll want to read them anyway, because they are really, really good.
