FYI!  
Once, in a very blue moon, I do post friends-locked fic to this journal. Which I then sometimes forget to mention in non-flocked posts, and then feel bad! Because, you know, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? Yeah. Anyway! I don't really like posting stuff flocked, but occasionally I must! For personal reasons. SO YES! If you are someone who watches this journal but does not have it friended, I did post a fic today that you have to friend me to see.

(For the record, because I'm often not at a computer with LJ access when I get friends requests/do not deal with them right away, I do just go through my manage friends and friend people back who have me friended. It's just easier for me to keep up with than adding individual requests, which I always forget about. So, apologies, but in order to get friended by this journal, you have to friend me first. Sorry!)

But, yeah! Just a head's up. You also don't have to drop a note if you friend me--I have friending notification turned on, so if you friend me, I will see, and eventually friend you back. Sooner, right now, given there is actual flocked content to be seen. This is a terrible rambling note. But I realized the last note I did about flocked content is possibly lost in the sands of time. And I'm tired, so, yeah, rabmling.

HAHAHA and I totally forgot what I MEANT to say, which is that it's a 2000 word J2 AU, for the curious/undecided.

 So, a while back I broke up with Netflix when I realized that I had had the same five discs at my house for six months.  But it kept whispering to me, like a bad boyfriend, promising things would be different if I just gave him one more chance.  And I have no willpower, so I told Netflix I'd give him another chance to win my love.  But he's wearing the same old tired clothes queue that he had before and I don't have a lot of confidence that things will last.  Can you help give him a makeover?

TV or Movies, I care not.  Just give me something to have me waiting for my old boyfriend by the mailbox, okay?

Stuff I love:  
  • witty dialogue, when media treats you like you're smart:  AKA:  (The West Wing, Arrested Development, Matrix, The X-Files)
  • historical documentaries, biographies, or movies based on real-life historical figures:  (John Adams, Hotel Rwanda, Elizabeth, Roots)
  • sci-fi/fantasy:  (All Treks that aren't Voyager or Enterprise, Bab 5, Alien, BSG, LoTR, Farscape, BtVS)
  • nature shows with awesome filmography (I have watched the Planet Earth series at LEAST four times each)
  • mysteries (classic, made from books or modern thrillers, either way)
  • many book adaptations (The Princess Bride, The Omega Man)
Stuff I hate:
  • romance/chick-flick/rom-com
  • slasher flicks and ALL their umpteen sequels
  • extreme violence (if it says Tarantino: automatic pass!)
  • most of what passes for comedy (Porky's, Borat, The Bucket list, anything with Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler)  Note: comedy like DOGMA or Galaxy Quest is a welcome exception!
  • most sitcoms (Friends)

Okay, whatcha got for me?

:)

Title: I Feel Like I'm Babysitting But I'm Not Getting Paid (5/?)
Word Count: 486
Genre/Rating: Supernatural RPS/PG
Characters: Jeff, wee!Jared, kid!Jensen/Chris/Steve/Misha
Summary: This 'verse sprang from a [info]comment_fic prompt. It's a weekend in the life of Jeff after he wakes up to a house full of boys instead of adults.

Author's Note - this is not a full blown chapter, just a snippet of a scene that wouldn't leave me alone.

Jeff wasn’t sure where he picked up the habit, he certainly didn’t spend enough time around small children to make it a regular thing; but when he saw a kid with a thumb in his mouth he couldn’t resist the urge to pull it out. Who knew Jared was a thumb sucker? )

!!!SCANS FROM KARL'S NEW MOVIE, AND SOON THE DARKNESS!


+2 GIANT MAGAZINE SCANS )

Snagged this from ♥[info]cate_mmds!


OH MY GOD. SO HOOOOOT.

ETA:

WHOOPS. There may be some mildy spoilery plot speculation in the comments based upon the 1970's version of the movie, but it could also be totally wrong because there haven't been any actual spoilers for the remake yet.

On watching the videos of Panic playing in Brazil:

Seeing them playing Camisado without Ryan is making me feel really weird. I dunno why.

Author: [info]rei_c
Title: Beside the Road - A Celestial Sequence interlude
Pairings: John/Sam
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 18K.

Summary: The Winchesters leave Azazel's city and head back on the road. There are five years until the time of prophecies begins and John is determined to make the most of it. The only trouble is, he's not the only one.

Warnings: AU. Incest. Language. References to underaged sex. Blasphemy. Theology. Demons. Angels. Torture. Blood. Angst. General spoilers through season four. Follows Under the Bridge and will most likely not make sense without having read that.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. If you recognise it, it's from something else. If you don't recognise it, it's still probably from something else. All errors are mine and mine alone.

Author's Note: Thanks beyond measure to [info]nu_breed for the beta and [info]aerye and [info]batdina for the encouragement. ♥

Music: [ John: A Simple Kind of Man | Ben: Fist of Rage ]

This is Sophie Falkiner. The best I can figure it out, she is an Australian model who plays the Vanna White role on the Australian Wheel of Fortune. (For some reason, I assumed Vanna White was Vanna White in every Wheel of Fortune EVER, although that is obviously not possible due to the rules of time and space, so this blows my mind.)

In keeping with that, I have a puzzle for her:

W_F  ARE  Y_U  WEARI_G?  _H  H_ _ EY,  _O.

Somewhere in the enclaves of Malibu, Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife is looking at this picture and composing an enraged statement about it on her Blackberry, to be sent to US Weekly at her earliest convenience (aka, as soon as she finishes writing it).

spl137872_001.jpg

It surely says something along the lines of, "I can't BELIEVE LeAnn would wear those incredibly hideous tights when she knows that I have those same hideous tights myself. She's obviously stalking me and I plan to file for another restraining order. By the way, did I ever mention that Eddie has three nipples. HE DOES. HE DESERVES THAT THIRD NIPPLE FOR WHAT HE DID. IT'S THE MARK OF THE DEVIL. THE CHEATING DEVIL! BURN HIM! BURN HER! BURN THEM ALL! BURN THE WITCHES!!!!!!!!!!! AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

(I mean, the tights ARE seriously bad -- especially with LeAnn's hideous open-toed clodhoppers -- but really I'm just relieved to have found myself an opportunity to point out that Ex-Mrs Cibrian truly has released more angry statements to the press about her failed marriage than any wronged woman, ever. I mean, I feel you, girl. Infidelity is as ugly as that outfit. And these two have been irritatingly and publicly smug. But what I'm really trying to say is that revenge is a dish best served cold and IN NEAR SILENCE. When they both awake to find their shampoo has been replaced by Nair and their body lotion with self-tanner, you need PLAUSIBLE DENIABLITY. You know what I mean? Ahem.)

I have to pimp out a fic my sis wrote. Very interesting combo of meta and the role that Dean is destined to play.

Title: On the Way Down
Author: [info]rynnalyn
Characters: Dean, angel
Rating: G
Her summary: This began as a meta, but it ended up being a story because I couldn't verbalize what I wanted to say unless it was conversational.
