I've missed birthdays! And important birthdays, too! Happy belateds to abyssinia4077, shirebound, and belegcuthalion!!!! You are amazing women and I wish you each, individually, the best of possible years.

In other news, have been re-reading Prince Caspian in anticipation of the movie. Because of that I finally went over to IMDb to look at casting. OMG, you guys, Warwick Davis is playing Nikabrik and Peter Dinklage is Trumpkin and Eddie Izzard is Reepicheep! That is awesome casting. My movie anticipation is definitely growing.

Had a stunning revelation yesterday. It was that Dean Winchester is like Mr. Darcy, in a way. Cause just like you start falling for Mr. Darcy after seeing Pemberley, half the reason you love Dean is because of his car.

No, I'm not shallow at all. *snorts*

That totally reminds me, on of these days I have to put together my Top Ten Favorite Male and Female Characters lists. These lists will also include characters who I both love and hate (Josh Lyman, I'm looking in your direction). Course, lists require pictures and I so don't have all of the images I need. What?! Not everyone on the internetz is a pic collecter. Sorry.

Ever been reading a story and the author suddenly throws in a sex scene for no reason whatsoever? I hate when that happens. It's, just, stories have an inner logic and when a sexual situation is thrown in simply because the author is OTP it can go against that inner logic. I know it's revolutionary for fandom, and all, but not every story requires nookie. Sex can be powerful when used appropriately, but it's not always necessary. Come on, people, learn to write outside the box.

I hate it when I'm really enjoying a story and then things throw me out of the world the author was creating. This also happens when people use bad spanish. Apparently, I am picky. I know, I know, it's the complete opposite of a shock.

In sum, I need to stop procrastinating and get some worky work done.

Aw, come on, it was either Danny succumb to his attraction to Wilson, or have him beat WIlson's head in! I chose the higher ground! ;)

Aaaah, but see, I would use that as an example of sex used right in the narrative. Because you built up to it, the act itself was a part of everything else that was going on in the story.

It's when the sex is pastede on that I get persnickety. It's all about poor and inexperienced writing and you, sir, are neither a poor writer nor an inexperienced one.

Why thank you, I need that validation.

Eddie Izzard as Reepicheep was just the most fabulous thing I ever heard when I first heard about it.

Only giving you the whole truth and nothing but, sir.

Aw, thank you!

YES!

I particularly hate the "character A and B pause in the middle of a firefight to have some fun oral sex" because not only no reason, but not fucking believable. Oy.

Hold it, you've read that somewhere? Seriously?! OMG *facepalms* That's beyond ridiculous. Cause that's the time that anyone with an iota of survival instinct would choose to get down and dirty. *facepalms again for good measure*

SGA fandom.

The number of times I've run across John and Rodney pausing in the middle of a life-threatening situation to have buttsecks/oral sex/a mini-BDSM scene/teamcest is just...yes. Totally wrong.
