I. I've been slowly working on a picspam about my top Ten Buffy episodes, mainly because I really felt like messing around with pictures. I'm not happy with it so far though, so it'll probably take a little while longer. And after that, I plan to do the Buffy 30 day meme, so I am motivated to post more often. I've really not been around for a long time. I do read fanfic (though I really shouldn't), and I read most of my flist every day, but I just feel like I have nothing to contribute most of the time. :/ Anyway, I felt like it was time to make a post, even if I am just talking about what I'm NOT doing.

II. I've watched Misfits! I knew about this show before, but I thought I wouldn't like it at all. If you've never heard of it; it's a British show about 5 teenagers who have to do Community service for various crimes, and are generally the kind of annoying youths that drink and party and have too much attitude . They then get caught in a storm, giving them superpowers. They kill someone and have to hide the evidence. (it's kind of hard to explain the plot? HAVE A TRAILER! )

I caught an episode on tv last night and I loved it, so I just spend my evening and today marathoning the whole thing.
Thoughts: spoilers for 1x06 )

In short; this show is funny, exciting, has great characters and plot development. If you don't know it yet, check it out!

III. My mum was gone for the weekend, so I had a pretty good time being on my own. I never really get to just be around the house alone, so I was weirdly excited about that! Of course, I ended up sleeping too late and not getting anything done for school. But it was fun.

IV. Still slowly making my way through Angel S5, but most of the time BtVS fanfic is more appealing. Not sure what that says about me :P

V. And I'm way behind on Merlin, though Tumblr keeps me informed about the main events. Just to be clear: I ship Merlin/Arthur a LOT in fanfic (and I do still read it, though almost exclusively modern!AU these days), but I totally support Arthur/Gwen in canon. Sometimes their development is off, but that goes for every single thing in this show. And I really don't agree with people hating it because in the legend, she cheats on him. That just doesn't really make sense to me. But hey, I don't judge! Just no Gwen-bashing on my journal!

I. I went to Cologne this weekend (I totally had to look up what Keulen is in English). It was nice to be out of the house for a while, even if I didn't love the city that much. It was relaxin thiugh, and I had fun. Only sucky thing about it is that there were like 4 other things happening this weekend that I wanted to do as well.
Still SO JEALOUS of everyone who got to go to Pierrefonds! :(

II. Remember my whiny post about how I suck at studying? Yeah, that didn't improve. I basically didn't study for my last exam and of course I flunked it. I did have a long talk with my mum about my studying method and lack of it, and she took it all pretty well (after a while). So I hope next year will be all better.

III. I'm watching Angel now, but I'm stuck at the end of S3. I'm not really enjoying it that much so I think I'll hold off for a while. I really just wanna get to S5. For, uhm, reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with some blond character that is coming back. Because I am not one of those people. Nope.

IV. I did grow to love BtVS a lot. When I get back from England in two weeks (I'm leaving on Saturday), I think I'll rewatch the episodes I loved and babble about it for a while. I've started to make a top 10 of favourite episodes or I might do the 30 day meme. I just feel like the meme might be a bit much - I don't know if I love it enough to talk about it for a whole month.

V. MERLIN. cut for spoilers )

I. I've been pretty bad at commenting lately, sorry. I've not been on Lj much, so I tend to scroll through my flist and only comment on the big posts with lots of pictures :S I'll try to improve that ;)

II. MERLIN :D Omg, how adorable is this cast :o And I think watching the trailer is the first time I've actually been genuinely excited about season three. It looks like it might be really good:D

III. I've seen A Very Potter Sequel and it is great, if a little too long. So if you haven't yet, you really should go and watch it! (unless you haven't seen the first one yet, in which case WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, go to youtube and watch right now ;) ).

IV. Seen Sherlock. And it has led me to a startling revelation:
I love Steven Moffat's writing. I don't love Steven Moffat as a person, and in the context of Doctor Who his episodes aren't always my favourites (especially in S5), but out of this context where saying I like Moffat feels like saying I hate RTD (which I could never say because I love RTD), I love it. He is very very good. The way he writes dialogue and humour is amazing, and probably the best I know. I loved every minute of Sherlock; the actors were great, it was funny and witty, it didn't insult our intelligence. It managed to keep the feel of the original even while being set in the modern day. I am ridiculously excited about the next episodes and so sad there are only three.
So there it is. I am officially a big fan of Steven Moffat's writing. I'm really not sure where I fit in DW fandom now :P


V. Harry Potter meme:

Day 16: Favorite professor?

Well, Remus Lupin of course. His classes are awesome and so is he. And McGonagall is pretty awesome as well:D

Day 17: Are you excited about The Deathly Hallows movie or scared it won’t do the book justice?

Well, I know it won't do the book justice for me. But this is the first time I'm actually kind of excited about the movie. I've still not seen HBP but I really so want to, and the trailer for DH looks good.

Day 18 - Best title sequence



That tune just always gets me in the right mood for the show :)

Day 19 - Best tv show cast

Either Merlin or Leverage. Merlin because they are all pretty (I never claimed not to be superficial) and because they have chemistry with everything and everyone.
Leverage because it's just a very solid cast. They're all good and funny, they seem to get along really well in real life.

Oh, and Firefly of course! The actors all really believed in the show, even when nobody else seemed to. And not only were they all really interesting characters and had good chemistry with each others, they're still friends years later, which I think is rare.



Doctor Who: I haven't posted a reaction to Saturday's episode yet, mainly because I just didn't really have that much to say. The two-parter bored me, I have no idea what happened in the plot and I have no desire to see it again. Matt Smith was cute, though. But once again Amy didn't do anything, and it's just not the kind of story I like. And then the end of Cold Blood... spoilers )
And then next week we get Richard Curtis and Bill Nighy!! :DD I would say it is stupid for them to just get in a fun adventure after this episode, but... it looks really good.
I am going to be so dissapointed when it turns out Bill is only in it for 30 seconds. I LOVE HIM :)


I also have a question; does anybody know if I can make my journal and friends page show 20 entries again instead of 10? I can't seem to find how to change it. Found it!

Urgh, I am so behind on this! So I'm posting three days at once here:
Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
Day Six, Seven, Eight )

Next: drive-by reaction post on Amy's Choice




Spoilers, spoilers! )

Leverage 2x10 and 2x11 - No real spoilers )
I have also changed my layout yet again. Hopefully I'll like this one for a while longer. I think it's the prettiest yet, so it should stay awhile. And I have new icons! Look at the pretty!I have a new default icon with very pretty colours (still The Painted Veil though), a new Arthur one and this Hardison/Parker lovelyness.
muneca_brava: (Arthur - plot)
In my ongoing attempts to study I've avoided checking my flist as much as possible. It feels really weird that I have no idea what the buzz is for tonight's episode, or the reactions to Part 1. Though it is positive that I can now pretend NOTHING IS HAPPENING. This will be my default mode until the episode airs. (though the Kleenex is in stock. Just in case. Not that anything is happening.)

Studying, as usual, is not going great. But it's been worse, at least. I'm not giving up yet!

During my breaks, I've been reading Merlin fanfiction. Not the best idea, maybe, but it fits in the longstanding tradition of procrastination during exams by means of fandom. And I've read some really good stuff!
Which reminds me that I was going to post a Merlin squee-post but forgot all about it. This might still happen if I find enough energy to be excited. Maybe next week, then. Have a lovely icon instead. That sort of summarizes my feelings towards the show anyway.XD

And finally,Happy Newyear!!!


Have a picture of crazy!John Simm wishing you a great year.XD
