( Alias: ramblings of a sad Sark fangirl )

EDIT: Damn it, the Alias finale is going to be during my brother's graduation.

I'm a sad, sad little Sark fangirl. And I've made peace with that.

I've never done the typing-along-with-the-show thing before, but since I'm no longer sufficiently into this show to give it my undivided attention, I thought it would be fun.

( Alias )

I woke up yesterday with an Abominable Sore Throat, which has fortunately responded well to treatment. And by "treatment", I mean "calling in sick to work, sleeping for approximately sixteen hours, and watching twenty episodes of Prince of Tennis". For getting through today, I have a couple pounds of those yummy tropical Halls drops and a bunch more episodes of Tenipuri that I'm downloading now.

ABC, although you have put forth a valiant effort, I regret to report that you have not yet succeeded in making me utterly uninterested in Alias by a.) flirting with abandoning plotlines altogether before b.) merely replacing all the interesting plotlines with boring ones, c.) killing off or disappearing half the characters I loved and replacing them with boring ones, d.) changing the time slot five times before finally slapping up a notice on your website that "The next episode has not been scheduled because we can't be arsed." So, in case any of you are as masochistic as me, the next episode will be on Wednesday, 19 April.

Just don't ask me what happened in the last episode, because I have no idea. Some people did something and then something happened. And it wasn't the one with Sark in, because that was before.

Star Wars fans hate Star Wars. So, it turns out that I'm a Star Wars fan, because I feel very strongly about all those things! Watching any or all of the movies is optional. ;)

Also, I had to change my layout because LJ made some change to the way voice posts are displayed but did not bother to actually make it, you know, work. I devoutly hope that this is temporary.

Also, GIP. (Gratuitous icon usage? I was going to make the post anyway ...)

I see that ABC have given up on their silly idea that they could move Alias from Wednesdays after Lost to Thursdays and anyone would notice or remember to watch it. Even my mom and I have already missed like half the episodes this season, and we've been trying to watch it.

( Cut for discussion of next week's promo, more because nobody cares that I know of than because of spoilers per se )

In other news, I am still NaNoing, unlike certain people (*coughs*coercedbynutmeg*coughs*), although I think I may have created giant plot holes a couple of chapters ago and set up the climaxes poorly. However, I do not care. Ned and Nathalia have been reunited, which makes me happy, because whenever they get together they talk and talk and talk because apparently they have fallen in love without my permission.

All my shows are over now. I miss them already.

The last few weeks have been especially nice since I've been home. My whole family watches House, although only my mom and I know what's going on on Lost and Alias.

Sigh. Is it September yet?

Today I did a presentation on sex. It was awesome, except I forgot to put in the part about seahorses. Oh well. I saved it as a PowerPoint and put it up here for your possible viewing enjoyment. It features hot mantis sex! (11.7 MB file)

The rest of my group was not as fabulous as me, naturally, but still it was good, and went pretty smoothly. We showed the Every Sperm is Sacred song from Meaning of Life as an icebreaker, and we served ice cream for refreshments, too.

Also, I made this icon. I am feeling much more fannish towards Alias now than I ever did before, possibly because the actual show is just not as much fun for me any more. I have plotted out how the rest of the season should unfold, but JJ does not return my calls.

Predictably, now that I am back in the US, the long-awaited BBC Creative Archive has launched. Enjoy, all you British-type peoples.

To cheer myself up this weekend I had a bit of a Sarkathon. I watched all the Sark episodes off my Alias seasons one and two DVDs and chased them with two carefully selected and downloaded episodes of season three (3x20 and 3x22, snerk) and the two Sarkisodes from this season. There were also Dairy Milk bars involved.

( Things I learnt from this exercise )

The only problem is that I still don't want to do any of the work I'm supposed to be doing. Instead, I want to write hotdirtywrong spysex.

Also, David Duchovny was on Inside the Actor's Studio. He talked about his sexy dissertation that never was. Muah.
