Friday I had a blast hanging out with pretty much my only friend down here. We watched our dance studio perform at our local mall and then had dinner at Steak & Shake before sitting around the fire at her house chatting and having some wine. It was heavenly and such a nice release after the long awful day.

Overall the entire weekend was absolutely wonderful because my husband actually had both Saturday and Sunday off of work. He NEVER gets the weekends off. It was so nice to actually spend some time with him! We didn't wake up until one o'clock on Saturday and none of the Merlin streams were working so we just hung out until we went and watched the UFC fights. John Bones Jones kept his light heavyweight title, so that was exciting. Also rather pleased that Machida (sp?) at least went a couple rounds, as I've always had a soft spot for him.

Sunday I got up early and watched a couple movies.

  

Splice was really super weird and I highly suggest never ever submitting yourself to that torture. It was fine until a little over halfway through and the thing starts having sex with everyone. WEIRD. Then I watched Roomate and it was also disturbing, but still a good movie. Was excited to see both Kat and Nina from TVD in it.

On Sunday I watched Merlin finally YAY

Thoughts... )

Finally read one of the books from my stack of 'to read'. Not having homework is making my life so much better!



It was pretty good. The ending wasn't what I expected, but good nevertheless. Actually has a substantial shout out to the stuck in a tree legend of Merlin which had me laughing and then kinda crying. I was all 'NO! I'm reading this book to be good and do something outside of fandom, and then you do this to me!' But still, worth the read. It really just felt good to read a "real" book again =D

Then Sunday night Once Upon a Time happened.

Thoughts... )


Also on Sunday I wrote 2k for my [livejournal.com profile] merlinreversebb fic! SO HAPPY! I've had a serious case of writers block for two weeks. I've had the document open every time I've been sitting at my computer and still nothing. For some reason my muse decided to cooperate yesterday and tada! More than halfway done with the story! Trying to get this one wrapped up so I can start my fic for [livejournal.com profile] merlin_games.

All in all a VERY productive and fun weekend! Now it's Monday and so far the evil guy of doom hasn't made me go through my list yet. Thank goodness. Hopefully it stays that way =D Btw, if you haven't checked out the amazing amazing stuff over at [livejournal.com profile] merlin_holidays, GO DO IT!

Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couch bound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.

Been a good weekend!

I've felt weird though, like I should have stuff to do- but I really don't. It's been months since I last had this much freedom. It's absolutely wonderful!

Wrote both my ficlet presents then spent last night and tonight making Christmas/Holiday cards. I only have a couple more and then they will be ready for me to send off on Monday!!! So excited!

My hols fic is finally turned in!! YAY!! It's perfect and beautiful and I can't wait until my giftee gets to read it! *EEK* I can't wait for you guys to read it either, it's my little fiction love child ^^ Also been thinking about ideas for my reversebb fic and I've got my plan cemented so now it just needs to be put down on paper.

I'm still unsure if I'm watching this weeks Merlin. I really don't know if I can take the heartbreak. Kiinda just wanna read peoples spoilery reviews and pretend it didn't happen lol. SUPER excited for Once Upon a Time tomorrow!

Hope you all are having good weekends! Go sign up to get a card from me if you haven't already!

wow, I don't know how it happened, but I think I actually got caught up on all my tv this week! So here's my reviews:

Ringer

This show is keeping me intrigued enough to keep dvr'ing it, but I'm certainly not all 'omg is it Tuesday yet?'

American Horror Story

OMG!! This show is just so good! I'm completely hooked! This episode was particularly great! I felt so horrible for Tate :(


Vampire Diaries )

Secret Circle

This show is picking up and I'm SO glad! I may be a bit of a Jake/Cassie shipper now :)

Supernatural

LOVING THIS SEASON LIKE WHOA!!!!!!  Oh boys <3

Merlin )

Once Upon A Time

LOVING this show!!! Prince Charming and Snow are just too adorable. Though I looked it up and Snow White's prince was actually just "The Prince". Cinderella's prince was actually "Prince Charming" and so was Sleeping Beauty's, but he also had a real name of "Prince Phillip".

Meh, not super awesome reviews this week. I'm tired and lazy and have one more week of crazy grad school before I can be free again!

I still haven't watched Supernatural yet, but I've seen my other shows YAY!!! All my reviews are below and are (obviously) spoilery.

So first and foremost-
MERLIN!!!!! )
My next review goes to The Secret Circle because WOW!!!!! I was FINALLY impressed by this episode!
The Secret Circle )
And of course I can't forget about my beloved Vampire Diaries. This episode wasn't the best, but I wasn't dissapointed.
Vampire Diaries )
And finally (omg, I watch too much tv!!) the second episode of Once Upon a Time. This week was particularly wonderful as I got to watch it with my best friend whom I don't get to see often!
Once Upon a Time )
I'll be watching Supernatural and American Horror Story sometime soon (after Homework of course, cus that's all I live and breathe ><). I also want to download Grim and watch that- it looks really good!

I would wite about my Halloween weekend home, but this post is already far too long. I missed being on here far more than I probably should have, but oh well. Loves you flist.

I had such a marvelous weekend! Minus feeling panicky over homework again of course.

Friday night we played beer pong and my husband and I totally kicked ass. We won a total of ten games, seven of them in a row. We were a "dynasty +2" so that was pretty cool. I actually prolly played the best I ever had-got on fire and then made two more cups after yippee!

And of course Supernatural was Friday night!! I haven't actually done any reviews yet for the season so here's my thoughts to date:
Supernatural )
Saturday night I went and saw Paranormal Activity 3. It was really good! My spoilery thoughts are behind the cut.
Paranormal Activity 3 )

After we watched the movie we went out to a club for drinks with some friends. I hadn't had a really good vodka cranberry in SO long- made me so happy. Once we left the bar we were supposed to all meet up at ihop but our friends ditched us. It ended up working out perfectly though cus my hubby and I sat together at IHOP and talked about all kinds of stuff. He's not really a talker and I am (I was in debate in h/s and college if that tells you anything) so it was wonderful to have some good conversation with him.

Sunday I did a little homework and reached my 5k goal for my Merlin Holidays fic!! YAAAAYYYY!!! It's nowhere near being close to done, but I'm still happy I hit my goal. I also watched Once Upon a Time. My thoughts:

Once Upon a Time )

And that was my weekend! I hope you all had a good time as well!!
