The trailer for the American version of Life on Mars sort of makes me want to microwave my own head. The words DO NOT WANT just don't seem good enough...

I'm sat here watching my neighbour desperately try and mow through grass that's about four feet tall, he's already gotten the mower stuck in the grass once and had to physically lift it out. At one point I lost sight of him among the foliage. I don't feel guilty at all for considering this free entertainment.

And I've just received Hitman on DVD rental and now I'm afraid to watch it in case it makes me want "to weep and then die"

ETA: There have been a few conversations in the past week or so about weird crushes. People you won't admit that you're quietly obsessed with. Or people you'll watch awful shows/children's television/rubbish soaps just because they're in it. I've just realised I currently have one of those....

t_usual_suspect  I wrote you your something Captain Jack-flavoured! :P Habits it turned out a little crazy in the end, but I didn't think you'd mind! It has chains and red aliens! Oh and when you read it the week will probably be over! One week left!

I leave the computer for five minutes and when I come back there is literally no ink in the printer!! No ink for printing-ness! And I know why as well, someone has been printing out steam trains!! *angry flail*

*eyes stack of five packs of paper* That's just sods law isn't it.

I have no choice but to accept that the universe doesn't currently want me to write....

I was randomly browsing my DVD's last night and got into conversation about those moments in movies that you're fairly certain aren't supposed to be funny, but kind of are. The ones you can't watch without laughing through. So I made a list of the ones that stuck out most. And voila! My Top Ten Unintentionally hilarious movie moments....

Random question and musings about Doctor Who, under a cut in case my musings become spoilery!

apocalyptothon is taking sign-ups and so far I've been resisting! Because I think I'm too easily lured into stuff. Clearly I can't trust myself to decide!

Pilots seem to lure me into doing review picspams, spoilers for the two part season opener....

I was up way too early this morning, I spent an hour just wandering around staring at things like a zombie, then I watched an episode of Criminal Minds, which probably isn't a good idea when you're half awake. I remember that some women were murdered horribly,  and that Hotch was grumpy and Spencer was very pretty but not a lot else (and I'm aware that isn't enough to even tell you which series it was let alone which episode!)  But now it feels like lunchtime and I'm hungry. I'm jet-lagged by my own stupid body today!

I'm currently writing 5 Times John Lost His Pants for master_kogane because I promised a 'John loses his pants' fic and then I thought up several amusing pant-losing scenarios so I just ran with them all. So sorry, you might not get it today, pant-losing epic-ness may take a little longer!

Also I'm hoping I'm going to get my two next rental DVD's today which should be SGA 3 4-8 and 30 Days of Night. So I may actually end up writing pant-less John while watching John-in-pants. Because writing pant-less John while watching vampires tear people apart would just be wrong clearly (even if there are cross-fandom similarities.) I didn't realise quite how much I'd missed writing crack. So if anyone has any epic and insane crack ideas that they don't want, please feel free to show them to me so I can write things I shouldn't!

Oh and master_kogane picked six of my icons for the icon meme. Which I shan't do myself because I think everyone else has already done it.... Ok everyone hasn't done it, so I shall ask myself!

1. If you want to play tell me, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee!!

I was going to do my obligatory 'review in pictures' of Blood Ties, since that started last night on a channel where I could see it with my own eyes! But it confounded me by being a two-parter! So I will have to do it next week now....

So instead I've spent the morning scrolling through icanhascheezburger, adding a million things to my Amazon wishlist, trying to find a good recipe for chocolate fudge brownies and making slightly ridiculous macro stories. I can't help but feel this probably isn't a valuable use of my time....

ETA: My favourite Brownie recipes from my wanderings!
Super easy ones
Extra Chocolatey
Sticky chocolate fudge ones
Ones with fudge glazing!

I stole a meme from indyhat because it sounded like fun

Give me (at least) two characters from different fandoms that you know I'm familiar with and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.
