selene_13I haven't updated in a while. Busy, busy, no inspiration, no developments, bla etc.
A friend of mine recommended House MD to me. So, I started watching the fist season airing in Holland at that time, loved it, obtained the second season from her and I've been obsessively watching it this week. I love House. I love Chase. This naturally progressed into House/Chase, and I've been looking for fanfic a bit. There seems to be some out there, not too much, but I haven't looked very hard yet. I hope there's gonna be some good stuff out there. It's so hard finding good fic these days. I used to read amazing fanfic all the time, those first years I ventured into fandomlife. Nowadays there's so much awful stuff to wade through, it's hard to find the gems...
I dislike Cameron and find her excessively annoying. Also, she's so incredibly skinny it's almost scary and it keeps drawing my attention from her character (she'll be on and all I can do is think, "damn, she's skin and bones! Look at her ribcage showing between her cleavage! Eww). Also, it makes her look like a twelve year old waif which lends very little credibility. Why is she supposed to be attractive? I prefer Cuddy. No, scrap that, I prefer the men! (Really didn't like Stacy either... how mismatched were she and House? No chemistry whatsoever). I'm hoping for more backstory on the ducklings in S3 (which 10 episodes I hope to get my hands on soon). Naturally, I want more Chase.
Other than that, I've been watching Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, Lost, reading the new series by Robin Hobb (The Soldier's Son), reading Elfquest, watching Superman Returns about 3 times since I got it, loving and adoring "The Time Traveller's Wife" (if you haven't read this, you're MISSING OUT!) and being very unenthousiastic about HP 7.
Honestely, "The Deathly Shallows"? It isn't even catchy considering it's the title of the final volume; I expected a title carrying a bit more weight - a sort of "This is the End of An Epic" sort of title. Not one to speculate about either. Eh. Whatever.
I'm starting to get to that point of christmas song overload that I want to slit my wrists when I hear one.
I have done all of my groceries (though I keep mulling that I must have forgotten something. There's no way I could have gotten everything, right? It'll bite me in the ass just when all shops are closed or when everything's sold out). In Holland we celebrate Christmas over two days (First Christmas day and Second Christmas day), which means I'll only have to work two days this week (Mmm, nice!), but because there's two days of Christmas, and since the shops close for those holidays, the atmosphere in the supermarkets is nuts! Apparently, because people can't get food for two whole days, this is reason to mob the store, fill your two carts to the max and buy every food item you can possible get your hands on... Imagine, two whole days without stores... you'd go hungry if you didn't stockpile your cupboards, right? Anyway, I survived the rush and got what I need (... right?). Everything is in da house to have a lovely christmas dinner, and a lovely christmas breakfast the next day. I also bought all my christmas gifts and know what I want to give my father and brother, which means that I won't have to go out again tomorrow, get insane and start buying all kinds of crap because I don't know what else to get. So tomorrow will be a relaxed day of cleaning and cooking and getting things ready and... urgh. Nah, won't be too bad. But I'm making apple pie!
I love Christmas, but it's also a hard time. It'll be my second Christmas without my mom. That hurt never goes away, but it stings extra on these sort of days.
However, one good thing in my life is I got a new kitty! Here's the cuteness that is Indy:
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Date: 2006-12-24 01:50 am (UTC)I've noticed the House/Wilson in fandom, yeah. I'm not feeling that ship either. Anyway, thanks for the link. However, I checked it out and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I can't enter into anything and see no posts. Is it friendslocked? It might be a problem on my end though. Computer failure is my constant companion and doesn't surprise me anymore. ;)
