pink bows and the apocalypse

*waves hi at newcomers*

People, this week was awesome. Not personally, but fannishly.

Exhibit A: I finished my remix fic and pinch hit and while I have a few issues with both, they are done and not completely shit.

Exhibit B: Community was back, baby! I mean, it has been airing regularly, but it was back to form. Funny, meta and character driven. Plus, Annie's boobs.

Exhibit C: One of my very favorite shows came back on the air, delightfully and true to form. And I'm not talking about Doctor Who. (Okay, I am, but I am also talking about the also very very wonderful Treme.)

People, why are you not talking about this? ( Spoilers! )
Also, shirtless PJ Ransome.

Exhibit D: Now I am actually talking about Doctor Who. And what I have to say is: OH MY SHOW YOU ARE BACK AND I LOVE YOU AND PONDS AND RIVER AND ELEVENTY AND EVERYTHING AND CREEPY ALIENS AND TARDIS AND HATS AND LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'm not going to talk about the plot yet, mostly because I want to see the rest of the two-parter. (Preferably now, please, Moffat. *grabby hands*)

Exhibit E: I have been all writerly. I get this way around fic exchanges. Something switches on and I end up wanting to write more and more and then I get tired of it and don't write for months. However! This time I am afflicted with a certain awfulness: too many WiPs. (And yet, I started two new ones today, oh, brain.)

Therefore I am making a list of fics I actually want need to finish to force myself to concentrate on them:

• River&Donna, telepathy fic (Doctor Who) - a fill for the female character trope fest that is almost done.


• Rory relationship drabble (Doctor Who) - I was thinking thoughts and am writing them. Novel, I know.


• Veronica Mars / The Good Wife thing (self explanatory) - another fill for the trope fest that I have snippets for but needs a fuckton of work to make it have, idek, logic?


• robot!mark (TSN) - this had been languishing unattended on the kinkmeme for weeks. i need to just put a few hours in and get some more words out.


• Pineapple Bodywash (Old Spice Man / Psych) - this has been half written for almost a year now.
  

My goal is to get all of those done in the next two weeks. Doable, yes. Likely, eh, we'll see.

Over the past few months in my ever increasing boredom I have been watching copious amounts of television. At this point it is getting a little ridiculous. Have some little reactions/reviews! There are no real spoilers, just general descriptions.

I've watched a few more things, keeping up with Psych (is it just me or is Gus even more awesome this season?) and Project Runway (my hatred for Gretchen is rivaling my love for Tim Gunn) and various other shows. Feel free to discuss any of these shows in the comments and share any fics you love for them.

On another note if you have seen the first season of The Wire, or have no plans to watch the Wire at all, watch the Pursuit of Happiness. This vid is D'Angelo. The clip choice is fucking incredible. Phi and I spent a ridiculous amount of time squeeing about it in chat because it is just that good.

Also, if you have an icon or art request, let me know. As I mentioned, I am bored.

ETA: I forgot to mention, but please do not crosspost comments on my entries to FB or Twitter. I will grant you the same courtesy.
