Coming back.

 I'm going to try keeping up with my goodreads account again.  My id is still mbmoore123. I apparently haven't logged in since November 2011.  Not going to even try catching up with the books I read inbetween.

J2 to me is Jared AND Jensen, so I don't understand these J2 fic/art/whatever comms that don't necessarily need both in the fic, just as long as one is in it. Shouldn't that be a different name?

J2 is jsquared meaning two J's so that should mean BOTH J's, right?

Hey Dolls!

It's been forever since I updated and I thought what better way then with news on TV!

Lately I haven't been watching much TV, shows have just started to suck. But it seems like they've got some good one's coming up. Here's what my tentative TV schedule is looking like for the Fall. Anyone checking out similar shows? I need people to fangirl with LOL. Any suggestions?

[ | mood: confused // verwirrt ]

right from the start you were a thief
you stole my heart
and I your willing victim

I let you see the parts of me
that weren't all that pretty
and with every touch you fixed them..

~*~

Oh you go to sleep on your own and you wake each day with your thoughts
And it scares you being alone
It's a last resort

All you want is someone onto whom you can cling
Your mother warned of strangers and the dangers they may bring
Your dreams and memories are blurring into one
The scenes which hold the waking world slowly come undone

~*~

I, I keep on running
I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted

Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down
Set me on Fire
You set me
Set me on Fire

~*~

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine

Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind

It's been written on the scars on our hearts
We are not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

~*~

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Sam & Dean Winchester’s tie masterpost is all up to date now with seasons 1 through 8.

 1.  Apparently, the issues with LJ the last couple days is that LJ was doing maintenance on accounts in "clusters," and anytime a post made to a community in one of the clusters appeared on your friendslist, it gave you an error.  Not that they bothered to actually tell anyone what communities would be affected so that either moderators could halt posting for the duration, or could unfollow them.  (You have to hunt to even figure out that that's what was going on.)

2.  Related, while i don't have the hate for LJ that others do these days (Give me time?) I wish more of the "LJ is dead/sucks, I'm moving" people had moved to DW instead of tumblr.  Mind you, I like tumblr for what it is (as long as tumblr savior is working, which largely depends on people actually using a tag like "kpop" or "teen wolf" or supernatural" along with all their personal tags) though I sometimes find it overwhelming and have to stop for a while, but I will never truly love it until it works out a decent comment/interaction system, and allows me to have scads and scads of userpics like LJ and DW.  Or at least several options.

3.  Thanks to this article, I am now anti-interested in the upcoming Dracula series.  I mean, I was never really interested, a it takes a lot to get me interested in vampires and I'm apparently one of the few people out there who doesn't find Jonathan Rhys Meyers appealing on any level, but this sounds like even Oz the Great and Powerful paid more attention to the source.  (To clarify:  I have no issues with adaptations  taking liberties with their source materials.  For one thing, few things will work the exact same way in multiple entertainment mediums, and for another, even if I don't agree with the interpretations, I've always thought one of the main points of adaptations was for different interpretations of a work.  I do, however, expect even liberal adaptations to make me think they have a clue about what the source actually is, as opposed to 4th generation derivatives based on pop culture that may or may not have even skimmed the source.)  Like, the upcoming Sleepy Hollow is certainly a liberal adaptation, but like Elementary, it sounds like an INTERESTING spin meant to update the source and possibly address some of the issues within the source.

4.  Along the same vein, CW's upcoming series, Reign, about Mary Queen of Scots when she lived in France, sounds like it makes all the ahistorical period dramas of recent years sound like perfect depictions of actual history.  I may or may not check it out, though, as CW does good with entertainingly cheesy/angst, at least for a while, depending on what else is around when it pops up.

5.  But what I really want is a good epic fantasy show that has lots of women and doesn't just go the medieval(Europe)-lite route and isn't about a dude's destiny.  Probably never going to get it, though.

6.  Has anyone seen Blancanieves, the Spanish film that a B&W silent movie adaptation of Snow White with matadors?  I need to know if it's worth making sure I see it before WisCon in case it can be used for my fairy tale retellings panel.

ETA:  I forgot that Phryne Fisher is the kind of woman who keeps a nude portrait of herself in the parlour.
