itsallovernowIn list form:
A - Four hours to watch Bad Timing through the end of PKW. Alone. Haven't gotten to watch it alone yet, and realized last night, rewatching the very beginning, that I missed so many things in the breathless anticipation. I want to take my time, savor the moments, rewind and wallow in my love. For instance, I was so sort of bedazzled and giddy and all of those things that I missed the implication that Scorpius had been responsible for the forays that started the war, and that he knew when John came back because of his connection with Harvey. Scorpius putting his obsessions into motion, figuring out how to attack the Scarran ships, using his knowledge and Sikozu's and then withdrawing because ultimately, his loyalties are to his needs, not to the PKs who are a means to an end only. Yes, yes, I know, everyone else got this, but finally having the time to pay attention, alone, made it better. The interactions are just so fabulous, the absolute brilliance of John and Aeryn coming back to body, finishing their kiss, taking stock, and drawing weapons. Watching this alone, slowed down because I had the time to actually absorb instead of react, made everything better which I didn't think was possible:) And the wedding:) "Are you relaxed? I've heard the key to these things is being relaxed." "I'm relaxed." Snerk. Dude, both of them have been in weddings, and I just love that they're so much goofier than the women. And Aeryn looked so very beautiful, and "You owe me." and the smile when John's enthusiasm just took over, enveloped them right before the command carrier interrupted. Such a great moment, because a command carrier was responsible for their meeting, how fitting for it to overshadow their union. It's just never that easy.
B - More hours in my day. Especially in the upcoming two months. I signed up for NaNoWriMo a few weeks ago, and November is almost here. My mom will be here in a week, and my house is a nightmare (and it leaks, great gobs of water poured out of our living room ceiling last night thanks to the rennovations our genuis landlord made to the upstairs apartment). It must be cleaned, and I'm willing to shell out the money for someone to do just that. I have three projects to finish, a mock up to make, a beta to finish, and oh, did I mention tht 40 hour a week job.
Not to mention the fact that my ballet teacher changed her mind, so now I'm a flower. Waltz, waltz, waltz of ze flowers. Oy. I'm gonna have to juggle rehearsal during Burbank on Saturday. Hope the fic panel is in the mid-afternoon, instead of earlier, although I haven't heard anything about this for months, so maybe it's no longer an issue.
C- A book that makes me as happy as the miniseries did. I'm slogging through the latest Elizabeth George, but I was never all that interested in Deborah and Simon, and this book is just endless. I felt this way about her last one too, which is a shame. I really enjoyed the beginning of the series, despite the soapish machinations of the characters too dumb to figure out their love lives properly. That's not fair, but I get tired of wealthy, peered angst. There's no Havers in this one so far, which automatically lowers my interest in it.
D - Even more hours so I can finish the ghost story. It's getting an hour at least today.

Date: 2004-10-20 07:39 pm (UTC)Also, I gave up on Elizabeth George after the first-person musician one, but I also really liked the beginning of the series.

Date: 2004-10-20 08:09 pm (UTC)And yeah, the musician one is the last one I read, and didn't like, but I was hoping this would be better. It's... not.

Date: 2004-10-20 08:07 pm (UTC)C. found these aqua wigs that feel like Barbie hair. They're very punk rock:) I love them:)
hee - The beautiful, beautiful flower This? Just zips me straight to Beyond the Sea, and how sad is that, because I'm thinking of Brad Dourff talking to the baby alien in Alien Ressurection, which then instantly brings me back to that episode:) hee. which seems oddly appropriate for my turn as a flower:)
