Under single digits! Bright side: it has already been 52 days since a new episode and thus waiting for nine more is nothing. I have sympathies for people in Supernatural and Smallville fandoms; I would be punching television executives if somebody bumped the premiere of my show back a week because they wanted to air another show twice.

I found Community last night mostly unfunny and uninspired, and the episode also had a lot of really creepy aspects and I did not enjoy it at all, which was an unpleasant surprise for a show that I usually find pretty wonderful. Bones continued to make me wonder why I am still watching this show, though (despite knowing that it was coming) that thing that happened was delightfully sudden and shocking.

I was PARKING LOT WATCH yesterday; it's like neighborhood watch only more badass. Aka: I was really bored at my desk, which has a giant window overlooking the parking lot, and I heard a tremendous crunch and looked down just in time to see two cars -- one parked and one trying to park -- rocking back and forth after one hit the other. ExpandThis is where it pays off to compulsively watch the parking lot all day long. )

That was the day's excitement. It doesn't quite beat the time that a federal agency orchestrated a drug bust in the parking lot and the agent who'd been disguised as a pizza delivery boy pulled a shotgun out of his trunk, but it was entertaining nonetheless!

I have been watching TV that is not Glee! Spoiler-free thoughts so far Expandon Southland, How I Met Your Mother, American Idol, Bones, White Collar, Community. )

I'm experimenting with a Pandora radio station based on the prompt "Glee cast." It is uproarious. I spent half my afternoon yesterday laughing every time a new song by an eighties hair band or from a Disney movie came on. ExpandTrack list. )

The rest of this post is going to be about Glee, since it's pretty much my only fandom at this point and now that they're filming again and the show is due back in a little over two weeks, there are spoilers exploding out of every possible place. AHHHHHH SPOILERS. ExpandI swear to God people who work on this show are spending more time leaking spoilers than doing their actual jobs. )

Title: Inheritance

Rating: G
Characters: Ozai, Iroh
Summary: Ozai doesn't see any point to exchanging gifts. Iroh is more enthusiastic.

Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] virusq (from the fic request post), who asked for Ozai and Iroh + secret Santas. I took that and loosely worked it into a gift exchange based on Chinese New Year traditions; hopefully I have not stomped too embarrassingly on any traditions!

ExpandIt is a saber-tooth moose-lion! )

The printer is making death rattle noises. There are four of us currently here, in an office of 20+. None of my favorites are in. At least five of the people who aren't here are out for the entire week. So much jealousy. So much. I know my vacation is coming but I want it to come FASTER! I really miss having a winter break this year. This is the first year I've ever not finished reading through the Yuletide archive before having to go back to school/work. I am only up to the beginning of the M's in the fandom list; I'm a little over halfway there. I want to read more and more and more, but I'm trying to avoid fan fiction while at work, especially since my wireless access is no longer cutting it and I can't do internets on my laptop.

Basically, this is a pointless post about how bored I am and how cranky I am that I have to be at work today when I could be at home reading fanfic, kink meme-ing, and RPing. Ridiculous complaints are ridiculous, but I am still so happy it is a four-day work week.

(If you want a good laugh, go through Rotten Tomatoes' section for Sherlock Holmes. Some of the less flattering reviews are uproarious. I sat by myself at the reception desk this morning, as no one called and no one came in, just laughing my ass off. Bad reviews are the best! Writers always come up with their best turns of phrase in them.)

So this is a Give Me Things to Write and I Shall Endeavor to Write Them post! You all know my fandoms and what I am willing to try (for the record, a few ideas off the top of my head: Sherlock Holmes (new movie or oldschool canon), Iron Man, Glee, Sons of Anarchy, The Mentalist, NCIS, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, iCarly, National Treasure, M*A*S*H, Hellboy, Firefly, True Blood... there are many many many things I'm willing to try that aren't on this list, so feel free to request others if you know I am familiar with the source material). I can't write anything dreadful or explicit due to being at work, but otherwise, I'm pretty easy. Give me a character or characters, a pairing, a situation you want to see somebody in, a word or a song lyric or a phrase... Crossovers, crack, angst, romance, gen, whatever else, and general ridiculousness are all a-okay. Just give me something to jot short things about. For the love of God, please. D: D:

Title: There Are No Mollusks on the Jeffersonian Pipes
Fandom: Bones/Black Books
Rating: PG-13
Summary: This is [livejournal.com profile] copinggoggles's fault. She wanted to see Bernard Black as the new lab assistant.

ExpandThat's it. He's totally a mutant. )

Title: Don't Get the References You Refer To
Fandom: Bones
Rating: PG
Pairing: Lance Sweets/Daisy Wick
Spoilers: Obliquely, for Bones 4x02 "The Man in the Outhouse," and hinting toward elements of 4x07 "The Skull in the Sculpture."
Summary: Daisy has never seen a certain set of classic films. Sweets immediately takes steps to fix this.

Notes: Follows She's Wordy and Verbose. Title also from MC Chris's otherwise irrelevant "Nrrrd Grrrl," because I couldn't resist. This is what I do while stressed out by my thesis. *facepalm*

ExpandListened closely, I did. )

Title: She's Wordy and Verbose
Fandom: Bones
Rating: PG for discussion of gore
Pairing: Lance Sweets/Daisy Wick
Spoilers: The end of 4x02 "The Man in the Outhouse."
Summary: The conversation at the end of "The Man in the Outhouse," and what came after. Short and silly, with no real point except that this makes me happy.

Notes: Because I am convinced that Daisy is a less horrendous character when you take her out of a stressful group setting where she's trying to convince her personal hero of how competent she is (look at her at the end of "Skull in the Sculpture": wonder of wonders, she is a human being!). And because -- adorable. I have several of these ficlets in the wings. What the hell, writing muse? Title from MC Chris's otherwise irrelevant "Nrrrd Grrrl," because I couldn't resist.

ExpandIt's pretty hard to determine any kind of compatibility or mutual interest if all we do is talk about how awesome Dr. Brennan is. Not that she isn't totally awesome. )

So I've been on a little bit of a Bones kick, lately. Tiny bit. And when I get obsessive, I tend to screencap and icon. So I have, uh, 250+ bases made. (For the record, these have all been made for ages, besides the couple from last night's episode, so the only procrastination that's going on through this is the actual posting.) This is the first of three posts, separated by character.
