letters to infinity

Saw HP & the HBP; it didn't blow me away, but it wasn't exactly boring, either. I missed a lot of stuff they left out from the book, and I think they kind of failed to portray Harry's fascination with the Prince. I did like Slughorn, though, and really hated on Lavender. Also, Emma did a fantastic job and I think she'll have a field day with parts 7 a+b.

Fandomwise I feel a little (well, a lot, really) out of the loop, what with work being extra crazy and stressful these past few weeks. I feel like there's a growing room for a new obsession, and I think I already know what's going to fill it. It all depends on how much of an impact ST: XI is going to make on me once I finally, finally get to see it. Kirk/McCoy looks really promising right now...

I know I haven't been around much lately, or commented on many entries, but that's mostly due to the fact that I'm desperately trying to remain unspoiled for the last five episodes of Supernatural's season 4, which I haven't seen yet due to work being insanely stressful, so yeah.

Once my workload lightens (which: hi, middle of the week) I hope to accomplish a few fannish things:
- write fic (my Sam/Dean love is flaring at the moment, so the next one is probably going to be a Wincest piece)
- prepare prompts for oxoniensis's next Porn Battle
- watch Star Trek XI (again with the middle of the week; even the non-Trek fans among my friends loved it, so naturally I can barely wait. Oh, Kirk. Oh, Spock.)
- watch the hell out of season 4

.one I'm working on a black and white Lazarus Rising picspam; it's a bit of an on and off thing because I get distracted by teh pretty a lot.



.two I need it to be May, and bad. Star Trek and Terminator: Salvation both look stunning and I WANT THEM NOW.

.two a The latest Star Trek trailer leaves me flailing whenever I watch it (which: I do that a lot, a whole lot), what with the awesometastic music and I dare you to do better and FIRE EVERYTHING at the top of Nero's voice. Also: Karl Urban as Bones and Zach Quinto as Spock! Such. Love.

.two b The Terminator: Salvation trailer #3 kills me with the Nine Inch Nails and Christian Bale and the stunning clarity and starkness of its imagery. I have a thing for post-apocalyptic stories so yeah, this one'll do nicely.

.three I want to see Slumdog Millionaire, because it will be awesome. I'll probably cry my eyes out but still.

.four As late to the party as ever, but: I really really love The Republic Tigers and Starsailor. The Tigers' The Nerve is on infinite replay in the back of my head; it's just that catchy. But your eyes are dumbin' me down And I can't take mine off of you.

Star Trek trailer FTW. Can't stop watching it because it's so fucking awesome. Young!Kirk, the car, the ravine, that indomitable will to survive. May's a long way away and I WANT THIS MOVIE NOW OMG and I just know I'm going to slash the living daylights out of Kirk and Sylar!Spock. This movie will grip me and rattle me and keep me in its hold the way The Dark Knight did and I can't wait for that to happen. Hurry up, May! \o/

Also: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Love the new trailer. It looks stunning and gorgeous and oh so deliciously dark. I'll weep for my poor abused Severus, though, oh yes I will.

Also also: Watchmen. There are no words for how much I want this movie. No words at all. AND IT ISN'T EVEN MARCH YET.

I've got plans for a layout revamp and new icons, and with my X-mas vacation coming up there's actually a chance I'll get around to being creative again. Yeehah!

And who knows, with all that free time on my hands, I might actually get around to writing something, too. Like maybe a Supernatural ficlet or two, because Sam and Dean are hot and I'm halfway to hell already so I might as well go down this road. Right now the Dean in my mind is sensuous and clingy and seductive, while Sam's indulgent and protective so that should be fun. Brothers on a hotel bed, heh.
