On yet another Prince of Tennis note (I know, I know, I'll find something new to talk about soon, promise):

GUYS I CANNOT EVEN. WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THE "LIVE ACTION" MOVIE? THIS IS POSSIBLY THE WORST BEST WORST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE THE MUSICALS NOW. HOW COULD THEY COMPARE WITH THESE LIVE ACTION MOVIES? /WEEPS FOR SOUL

Also, ECHIZEN RYOGA? Hahahahahaha. THIS CRACKS MY SHIT UP, I can tell you that.

PS - I am finally making my way through Battlestar Galactica season 3. IT IS AWESOME. I am enjoying it much more than season 2! Possibly because of all the cylons. And by that I mean Callum Keith Rennie. MY LOVE FOR HIM WILL NEVER DIE.

PPS - I am endlessly amused that my tag list, to non-fandom people, WOULD MAKE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. Unless they assumed I was smoking pot or something.

*SQUEES*

Okay, so there is one episode of Star Trek: Enterprise that I can actually sit through and enjoy thoroughly. And I have seen it once, and failed to download it. And just by chance, IT IS ON TV. I just? *FLAILS*. I mean, it's Trip and Malcolm stuck together in a shuttlepod. That's, like, a step away from a utility closet. Trip, and then Malcolm, together, was the reason I braved the series.

I'm sorry. But this episode is AWESOME in its gayness. LOVE. In other geekdom news, I watched half of an episode of the old Battlestar Galactica series, fell over myself with its 70's awesomeness, then ordered myself the boxset. Then sort of regretted it. But, I mean, I already own 3 BSG boxsets...why not one more? I AM SO LAME.

I notice that Angel is coming to AUs Sci Fi channel - I loved Angel like I didn't love Buffy. In fact, I have a VHS tape somewhere of the first 10 or so episodes....hmmm....I would contemplate finding it now, actuallly.

Oh. Sci Fi is made of win. On Sat 22nd, there is an SG1 doco - behind the mythology. This Saturday was the one hosted by Amanda Tapping.

I LOVE MALCOLM. I really, really do. It could be the British accent. I could be that shallow. Pretty eyes!

Tomorrow the broadband returns, thank god.

HAHA. For the past few Sunday afternoons I have been watching old Battlestar Galactica on the Scifi channel - but its not the OLD series, no, its one from the 80's and is RIDICULOUSLY GAY. And awesome. VERY AWESOME. One of the members of the Synagogue came knocking at my door JUST as it started and I almost KILLED HIM. And then he sat down to count the money in our JNF box...and I stood around impatiently and was on the verge of being all GRRR YOU ARE MAKING ME MISS MY GAY SHOW! But then thought it would be terribly inappropriate

I am currently at Uni - which is terribly depressing. I totally did not get a long enough holiday. I already have a shitload of work to do - and I have only had one class. Mondays are crap. I have Torts at 10am, and then NOTHING until Contract at 4pm. Which is why I am currently in the law library wasting 10 minutes until I can shuffle out to the Moot Court for my class. In which I know NO ONE. It is all very sad, and all. 

I did finish book 7 - but I think I will wait until I have reread it before actually commenting, so it might be a while. I tend to, in my excitement, skim a lot and then I miss shit. Like in LOTR, which KILLED me to read, I totally missed Gollum's death because it was like, ONE LINE in a mass of PAGE LONG descriptions of grass, or clouds or something. 

ARGH. I can't believe I am back at Uni. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!? But tomorrow I am taking Chloe to see Transformers. I am shocked and horrified that she hasn't seen it yet. This means I can now sit there mindlessly and perve on Josh Duhamel. It is a perfectly legitimate use of my time. It is lucky i don't begin Uni until 2pm. But then I am here until, like 6pm. Straight. With no breaks between classes. 

On Wednesday night I am going out with the friends for dinner - all this social-ness is very unlike me! I AM SO PLEASED. 

I am also being embarrassing again with my Naruto obsession.

Well. I think I should now go hover awkwardly otuside my classroom. Fun times, yo.

Dearitzaimster, and, in proxy, I think, rubyb, tonight is the night (if I stay awake!) that new Supernatural gets downloaded. I think...there are about 4 episodes waiting? FOUR NEW EPISODES. Also, Torchwood, Battlestar and hopefully Atlantis. I will be up 'til sunrise with my list. *mumbles*. BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

Tomorrow is my ONE DAY OFF this week from work. I can't wait! Yay! Lying in bed all day with no stress! It will be SO EXCITING. These days I feel so guilty and like I'm forgetting something without the stress of Uni - it will be nice to have a relaxing day. I will go for a nice, leasurely walk around my neighbourhood in the late morning, stopping by the shopping complex to see if a new Stargate magazine is out and possibly get some lunch then come home and watch episodes. Yay!

BB, the bitch, saw The Prestige today without me. It's fine, I WILL GO BY MYSELF. Maybe. Or maybe I will spend all my money and order Slings & Arrows and Twitch City off amazon.com. And just hope they play on my DVD player. dueSouth did okay...but I am paranoid. And maybe I will buy Wilby Wonderful.

Um.

Anyway. I will end this off now - 11 days (or 10. or something) TIL ROBBIE. Except I'm not excited yet.

ps - DAVIDCAMPBELL = little hearty thing.

Seriously. I decide to go on hiatus to try and bring up my grades/actually do Uni work, and what happens?

I:

• Change my awesome, awesome Apollo/Helo layout to an equally as awesome one (mostly because it matches my default icon, horray!)
• Upon changing said layout, I get annoyed by ads and decide, fuck this, and get a paid LJ
• MAKE NEW AWESOME, AWESOME LJ FRIENDS. *waves hello*

So - I managed 3 days to resist the lure of my flist. While I will probably just filter through my friends pages and not the groups (I am signed up to 112 communities - when did that happen?), I cannot stay away. I will also be tinkering with it now! New pretty things!!!!

I also convinced BB and Tam they should both write me Harlequin novels in which I am the main character. And they agreed. I'm becoming slightly concerned about a)my sanity, and b)my bossiness. However, they are awesome and what I've read so far is awesome, and so I am very pleased.

Now I should actually go and do Archaeology - I will read about Zimbabwe. *sighs*.

It is a total strain to keep my eyes open. Why can I not be a normal teenage-young adult-something? It's quarter past one. I am so pathetic. By 10 30 I am ready for bed. But I am currently downloading new TV - and how I curse stupid onpeak/off peak download times. Seriously. It is stupid and pathetic and I HATE IT. I also hate having a limit - because I am slightly worried that new SGA and Torchwood will come (not to mention the weekly SPN and BSG....which, heh, it sounds like a CODE. SGA, BSG, SPN...) and I will be out of downloads and down to dial-up speed.

Also. IT IS LATE. *waits impatiently for downloads*. And! And! The downloading is on the other computer down the hall and it is cold and I have to get out of bed to check on them and start new ones and *WHINEWHINEWHINE*


Anyway, the point of this post wasn't my crazy OHMYGODWHEREISMYSLEEPANDWHYIAMISTILLAWAKEANDDIDSOMETHINGHAPPENTOTHESPACEBARWHENIWASNTLOOKING?, but instead it is important. Like, horrifically so.

Due to my crappy (by my standards, anyway) grades at Uni, beginning this semester, which coincides with when I got this laptop, which coincides with my sudden splurge of internet time, I am forcing myself onto a LJ hiatus. Which, by the way, may very well kill me. Lauren - fandom = DEATHDESTRUCTIONDEATH. Anyway. I will most likely cave as I have no will power or restraint, but I will limit myself to filters (FILTERS. GOD. WHAT IS MY LIFE COMING TO?) of only friends journals. Which! Means! I will lose out on fandom. Fandom.

So my plea to you, flist, is, if you have a moment while you are browsing your flist or the usual noticeboards or picspams or whatever, send a link over my way? I will still check email, so I will get all comments, and it will make me less depressed when I come out of my hiatus and have to go through a backlog of a BAZILLION PAGES (at the moment? I check my flist at least once a day, and then I have to scroll back 200+ entries). Um. So send me the good stuff.

*wibbles*.

I'm totally not going to survive this, and will cave. I know myself. However, I do need to do work. Unfortunately I now have 4 TV episodes to watch (horray! BSG! SPN!)

Um. *waves*

So yesterday at work I said "Robbie Williams" so many times that it blurred together in a Teal'c-esque fashion - RobbieWilliams. Seriously. Sometimes the surname just got mashed as my tongue tripped over my mouth.
And work was really, really busy last night. So for four hours (the fifth spend packing everything up, with few customers), I was saying "Here is your change, and your entry form to win tickets to see Robbie Williams".

And it's really funny, all the girls at work are so competitive since we are all in the running to get tickets too - whoever sells the most upgraded drinks, or something, I'm still not sure. And so I walk around all smug and all, "I already have tickets, but two more would be okay." Because they are "VIP" and include a limo ride and dinner. I told them I would even clone myself if I won more tickets to the same show. Heh.

It was also funny how many people told us they already had tickets, and the one girl, Sarah, is like "IS THERE ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE TICKETS!?!?!?!" And I'm all smug and horrible, "You?". I made sure to bring it up the rest of the night. God, I'm such a nice person.

I also really need to find the new BSG episodes. I am signed up to a community, but they make it so hard that it is beyond my comprehension. Seriously. I am not download-savvy. It's quite appalling.

Anyway. I will write up a to-do list, so feel free to ignore this, it's mostly for my purposes. This is what needs to be done in the next two weeks.
 - Psych Essay (due next week Weds)
 - Archaeology Essay (due next week Weds)

 - Preorder House and SGA season 2 (out Oct 25th, and Nov 29th respectively)
 - NCIS season 1 +2, Macgyver season 3, numb3rs season one (all out now) PURCHASE. $$$

eta: I have a song that just popped into my head stuck in my head - but only a few bars and the only lyrics I actually know from it are "new york city". It's slow and ballad-y and I have no idea what it is.

I may be a little insane? It's okay, just ignore me.

I want the mailman to hurry up and get here. I WANT MY POSEIDON DVD AND FREE CARABINER.


Also, in the past few days, my internal monologue has been very....sweary. It has been all "JESUS FUCK" and "WELL FUCK YOU VERY MUCH". Seriously. I don't know what brought this on.

I also changed my ringtone (MACGYVER!!!!) and message tone the other day. My message tone was a thing of beauty...it made everyone in a 2 mile radius jump with surprise and was Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes (just a snippet from Me and My Shadow)....now it is Paul Gross, and makes me jump. Seriously. IT SCARES ME. Vanessa messaged me this morning and normally when Robbie and Johnny go off, I don't jump. Paul went off? My cat and I leapt out of bed. If my heart hadn't been pounding in my ears, I might have found it funny.

Anyway. I don't think I actually have anything worthwhile to say.

I am so tired and dead, that Death has now been renamed to "Lauren". You heard that right, folks. Tomorrow? At work? I will tell them there is no way I can work 20 hours plus going to Uni and Jewish festivals that are popping up all over the place. Yom Kippur is on Monday, and coincides with some public holiday, but my Uni has decided that we do not have the day off. So, I could try emailing my tutors and being all "JEWISH HOLIDAY. CANT ATTEND TUTORIALS. DO NOT TAKE AWAY MARKS. ANGRILY YOURS, LAUREN." But I may just go in, or something. I may just skip lectures in the morning? No. No, I mustn't.


I don't actually have anything to say, except that NEW BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, SOON. AND I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SEEN HIRES SPOILER PICS FOR...the first episode?...EXODUS (or something?) AND IT HAS MY FUTURE HUSBAND. Heh. In my photos area of myspace, I PUT A PIC OF HIM UP labelled "lauren's future husband". I just am that cool.

I really want to see Slings & Arrows. REALLY. Also, my Poseidon DVD didn't come today:-(.

PS - dear all Americans, I hate you. Violently yours, Lauren.

PPS - I mean that in the nicest possible way.

PPPS- I am talking about Supernatural.

*smirks the smirk of a thousand smirks*
I may or may not have done the totally horrible thing of going out and looking for the Alex Rider novels - and then being all outraged when all of the second parts of the series were sold out. EVERYWHERE. So I bought the "movie edition" of Stormbreaker. It has a photo of Russian!Ginger Man and Spy Boy in the very gay scene!!!!!! Also, in the book that scene does not exist. This is why movies make me happy.

I also bought BSG season 1 (the Callum episode is just waiting for me) and contemplated the Star Wars trilogy. And also Naomi Novik's books, because seriously. But the bookstore only had 1 and I wasn't sure if it was the first or second book, so I thought, next time.

I also hate English (stupid, crappy essay) and Linguistics (stupid, crappy assignment) and so will bitch a lot.

Apparently The Bitch (as my mom referred to her - I WAS SHOCKED) is moving back home:-(. And it was so peaceful.

ETA: CONNOR TRINNEER. ON NCIS. CONNOR. TRIP. TRIP. TRIP.
