liptonrm_backupHave been ridiculously mood swing-y all week. Which is not very conducive to accomplishing much of anything at all. I've gone from being pretty okay to depths of despair (i hate my life, what am i doing, i should quit law school, i've never even liked the law anyway, omg i hate my life) and back and forth ad infinitum. Plus, I keep poking at these still raw spiritual wounds like a kid peeling scabs. 'Cause, you know, that's the smart thing to do.
Bleh, sometimes it would be nice to turn my brain off. For just a little while.
Saw Show on Thursday (yay! hiatus is over!). My one comment is that now I want to read creepy mental hospital fic. For all my years in SPN fandom that's the one thing I've never found. Oh, there's some out there, but none of it has ever satisfactorily pushed the button that craves that type of fic. What I'd really like would probably end up being some kind of tonal amalgamation of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Shining, which is a pretty big demand, I know. And maybe, one day, I'll even find it, or become a good enough writer to write it for myself (though, please, let's not hold our breaths in anticipation of the latter).
OMG, I got my Farscape discs!!!!!! They are wonderful. Am already nearly halfway through rewatching season two. And things are only going to get more frelled, and more awesome. Seriously, why aren't Ben Browder and Claudia Black on my television screens every week? They are the kind of actors who should have work all of the time, not to mention Gigi Edgely and Virginia Hey and Anthony Simcoe and. I love my Muppets in Space show so frigging much.
There should be more muppets in entertainment. There should be a rule that every other movie has to have at least one muppet in it. If Avatar had muppets I might consider seeing it. [I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baylorsr's reason for not seeing Avatar sums it up best: it's from the man whose only note for season two of Dark Angel was to create a dogman. A DOGMAN. Plus, I've already seen enough movies about the white man's burden, thank you very much.]
And there you go. That's all the random news that's fit to print, with more than a little that isn't. &<3s

Date: 2010-01-25 02:17 pm (UTC)Also, I'm sorry I've been less phone/emaily lately. That "my phone is an option" sounds kind of hollow when I read it, having only talked to you twice in two weeks. *resolves to be more communicative*
I adore you.
I also DO NOT WANT to see Avatar. No muppets, dogman-creator... bleh. Not interested.
Remember those two stories, probably written early in S2 or may S1--I just remember that I discovered them within the first six months I was reading. It's near-future fic (to when it was written), and Sam's a patient in a mental ward, and of course there's something there, but Sam's... well... crazy and not at his hunting best. And it's super creepy and sad? And has a one-word title that sounds vaguely botanical? And then there's the sequel, where he's staying at Missouri's after he's been discharged, and there's all this stuff about her family and their history with herbal medicine/spellwork, and it also has a botanical name, and in the end there's this big creepy surprise/not surprise and Sam hits the road again?
Yeah, that first one was the best/only really good mental-ward fic I've read. Crap, I wish I could remember what either of those were called.
Oh, and speaking of mental ward fic, may I offer you my copy of Shutter Island because homg it was so creepy and awesome and is going to be really good on film, and I think there is excellent SPN crossover potential.
Okay. I think I am finished for now. I will call you tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks to you

Hang in there hon. Remember, my phone lines are always open for you. And just remember, law school will end one day (hopefully soon) and you will be free of the evils of homework and off to make your mark on the world.
