Jul. 6th, 2007 10:57 amIt goes without saying but it bears repeating, fangirls are love.
My Fourth was quiet, but nice. Had some grilled steak and potato salad over at the parents' and then went to the downtown fireworks. My hometown always puts on a nice little show. Before sundown they have the city concert band play and there are vendors out selling various foodstuffs (I bought a bratwurst b/c I had to buy a bratwurst. It was a thing). The whole thing not only made me schmoopily patriotic, well, okay, more like filled with love for my home simply because it's my home, but also glad to have been brought up in the kind of city that I was. It's still small enough to feel strangely intimate but big enough to have some variety and spice.
Yes, yes, I'm a big sappy girl.
Anyway, my hometown always puts on a good display. However, they moved it or something because this year my regular vantage point was less then ideal. Everything exploded right behind a big tree. That was less then ideal but I still grinned like an idiot at the gigantic, sparkly explosions so it was all good.
Big explosions and grilled meat. It's more American then apple pie. =D
( And Now I Talk about Doctor Who )
It's very, very pretty outside today. Maybe I should go enjoy it. Or maybe I should read more fanfiction. That reminds me, anyone who's looking for good Who fic should check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dwseason4. It goes AU from the series 3 finale and is hands down terrific. Very highly recommended.
OK, that's it, I guess fic wins. I will see the sun again, I promise.
ETA: Two last things, I promise. First, apparently Raelle Tucker has left SPN to join Alan Ball's new HBO show starring Anna Paquin and based on the psychic detective novels written by Charlaine Harris. On one hand, this is a great move for Raelle. On the other hand I can't help but feel like she's betraying us which is crazy, tv writers move around all of the time. On the plus side Sera Gamble's staying and is becoming a co-exec producer. Bye Raelle, we'll miss you! You're gonna kick ass over on HBO!
Second, watched some of that new USA show Burn Notice which co-stars Bruce Campbell. It's fun but the biggest thing I noticed is that one of the supervising producers is Mere Smith, better known to fandom as the fanfiction author who got a job working for Joss over on Angel. It made me ridiculously happy to see her name pop up on another tv show. Good for you, Mere!
