ahaha, so clearly the Fringe panel writeup is not happening. (besides, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube anyway, so it's sort of a moot point.) In my defense, I have had basically no braintime for anything but Job and Brother related stress. (now with bonus 'brother hired at job!' crossover! I am a GIGANTIC STRESSBALL.)
I still have not watched the new ep, no spoilers omg.

In lieu of creating anything, I have been watching so much TV. So much. Up to midway through season 8 in X-Files, which. Um. Does it... get better, at some point? Does Scully ever get to be awesome again? Because right now it seems to be the John Doggett show, starring John Doggett and also some pregnant chick who he saves and/or lectures. (The episode where he scolds her for going off on her own sdfajsgdfglkdf) I tried to go into it with an open mind; I really, really did. I want to like Doggett, because I don't like not liking characters! Watching shows is more fun if I'm fond of most of the characters! but I am kind of. Not feeling it. It doesn't help that the writing quality seemed to go downhill really fast. I mean, s7 had a lot of goofy episodes, but they were at least more or less coherent. What the hell was Badlaa? (Apart from awful.) IDK, IDK. Maybe now is the time to start reading fic.

Also watching (and enjoying the hell out of) Twin Peaks (noooo spoilers), although thus far my most pertinent observation is that Dale Cooper is basically Benton Fraser, if Fraser were American and also in a TV show by David Lynch. I can't decide whether they would get along really well, or if they would be just alike enough to get on each other's nerves. Cooper would totally love Dief, though.
(A quick trip to the AO3 indicates that this crossover has already been written. Fandom, ilu.)

So I, of course, did not finish Fringe. I'm on episode... six, I think. I am heading off to Comic-con in a matter of minutes, and I am still debating about whether to go to the Fringe panel. On the one hand, I don't want to be spoiled, and it will be inevitable if I go to the panel. On the other hand, I was spoiled for a fair amount of what I've seen already, and I still *enjoyed* it. And actor panels are often super fun, and I would get to see Jasika Nicole in person (<3333) and that could be cool.

Especially interested in hearing people who've seen Fringe, and can weigh in on whether it's better to be unspoiled.



Also, obvs, I am going to Comic-con, if anyone I know will be there, which is doubtful but what the heck. I will be Robin (animated Tim Drake) tomorrow, and Scully on Sunday.

oh my god you guys. Life has been so nonsensical of late. I am super, super swamped at work working so much OT (on the one hand, yay, more money! On the other hand, even less of a life than I had before!) and on account of my hard working ways, have been... sort of put in charge of some things? and people? which is so terrifying, I can't even tell you. Exciting, but exhausting. How do people do this work/life balance thing?

I feel so cut off from fandom, which makes me sad, and I'm too paranoid to browse fannish sites on my lunchbreak. (I don't *think* the company is monitoring the usage, but).

I'm trying to finish Fringe before Comic-con so I can go to the panel on Saturday. Considering I'm on episode 4 of season 3, I don't know if I'm going to make it, though. Still. Fringe! I am a fan. I have Thoughts, about stuff! Mostly about how much I love Astrid. (I really love Astrid. She is my favrit <3 <3 <3)

I am not in a fic place about it yet, but I might be when I'm done? Although I may basically just want the adventures of Astrid and Walter, and also maybe some Broyles/Nina Sharp. (Please tell me the latter exists? At least a little bit?) I think- I think I mostly want gen? Which is a strange new feeling for me, let me tell you.

The white_lotus Lunar New Year challenge is over, and I made one treat for it!
It is Mai/Zuko, SFW.
It's funny, because a lot of people mentioned the background as being the moon, which it wasn't meant to be- it was just a compositional element stuck in there because a blank background was boring. It's kind of oblong for a moon, although looking at it now the texture is totally moonlike.
I wanted to do more than one, but I was too busy- I've hardly even gotten to look over everything submitted. There are some super awesome crafts, though. I really want to make these dishcloths.

Yesterday was my birthday! I'm now one quarter of a century old. It's weird. I feel like I should have things more figured out by now, but I guess that's pretty common.

It's also my cats' birthday today! They are four years old.

Argh, Small Potatoes. DNW. It annoys me that the writing in this episode is actually pretty funny at points, but gaaaaaaahhh, the plot. Haaate. My immediate dislike for this episode was compounded by reading this review.

( Spoilers for Small Potatoes, warning for rapey-ness )

On the bright side, my little brother totally gets it and says "I just want to hit this guy [Eddie] so many times." <3

Internet, why did you not remind me that White Collar has returned? (Okay, yes, if I'd actually looked at the White Collar newsletter which I am subscribed to, I would have noticed, but hush. )

X-Files watching continues apace. I enjoyed El Mundo Gira a lot more once I learned that the title basically translates to As The World Turns.

Brother and I are on s4 now, and are currently watching Home. I think he hates me right now, judging by his exclamations of horror. Ohh, X-Files writers, what on earth were you *thinking*?
