Random quick update

I didn't watch the Oscars. :P Which is okay, because I no longer have a computer in front of the TV, and the Oscars aren't near as much fun when I can't chat with pfrsue and we can't mock the dresses and drool over the men. Too bad about Best Picture, but I'm probably the only person on my flist not jumping for joy about the Best Supporting Actor. I really wanted Jake Gyllenhaal. No. I really thought Jake deserved the nomination for lead, for Jarhead. But, on the other hand, Jake is much younger and has time to improve and go for it again.

I know it wasn't intentional, but Toby put his arm around my neck for the first time today. I almost melted with the cuteness :)

Been watching Firefly. We just watched Jaynestown last night. I swear, I have not laughed that hard at a TV show or a movie in... I think the last time I laughed that hysterically was the instruction scene in Life Is Beautiful. ("I ate the last lollipop. It was strawberry.") The faces on everyone when they started singing the song about Jayne was... I've seen the "revered as a God" concept done millions of times, but this was by far the best.

IF I was going to write Firefly fic, I don't think Mal would be paired, for all that he is quite hot. I think my TTP (Two true pairs- HA!) would be Zoe/Wash and Inara/Kaylee, because I have a thing for married couples and the second just has so much potential. But my OTP would definitely be Kaylee/strawberry. And I am so making strawberry spinach salad today. And searching out Firefly icons, because yes, Kaylee is my idol. (Seriously. Just because my engines are diesel and hers are fuel cells doesn't mean I can't want to be like her.)

And I should go work out before Toby wakes up. Maybe it will help put my Remix into perspective, given that it really got away from me. :P

(no subject)

( Remix whining. No real details, but I'm whamming my head against the keyboard. )

In other news, AIL 11 continues to be written at a slow pace :P I have 11 pages of it done and just figured out how this little roadblock goes. I really need to finish Band of Brothers, which I started as a spin off from A Little Respect and then was going to submit for the omniocular challenge and still works for the new challenge, but I just haven't gotten very far. And I got a review in for MRFH! Whoopee! Can't believe I watched the movie (The Princess Diaries 2), but hey. I really need to write an article for MRFH one of these days, too. I would have liked to have done something on the Oscars, but I haven't seen half the nominees. More than half. I should also finish my reviews of October Sky, The Great Escape, Wind, and... shoot. What WAS the last one???? I'd like to drool over Firefly at length at some point, too, but I need to finish watching the series and I should have Howard home for that.

And oh yeah, I should finish that paper on biodiesel as well.

So maybe I should go write in Word instead of in LJ, hmmmmm?
