Random Stuff and Pics!
Nov. 5th, 2005 11:55 pmA weekend without obligation, and some random stuff:
1. The Good: a pleasant surprise. I was nominated for another LOTR fanfiction award (the MEFA, Middle-Earth-Fanfiction Awards) and won second place for Women’s Work. Wasn't that nice? :)
2. The Bad: I think I'm sick again. Sigh. Last weekend I was too ill (nauseated) to enjoy Quark's at the Hilton, and for once it wasn't because of their ultra-strong drinks. Now I have a sore throat. Argh, perhaps Trey Parker was right on South Park: maybe people who don't eat meat do get sick more often! Or maybe it's just the change in the weather.
Here are some pics of Halloween. We were Bajoran Comfort Women. Cardassian Hos.
3. More Good: Star Wars ROTS on beautiful, clear DVD. Deleted scenes! I do feel sorry for the chick who played Mon Mothma. And after all the other scifi I've been watching recently, I now have a Star Trek DS9/Star Wars crossover fanfiction idea involving Palpatine finding a piece of transwarp (Borg) technology and giving Anakin a ship. And me here with two more SW challenge stories to write.
4. The Odd: Roommate still obsessed over Firefly/Jayne, having it on TV constantly. I promised to go see Serenity again with her tomorrow, but in return she had to pause the Firefly DVD and watch four episodes of Ranma 1/2. She did it with flying colors, woohoo! Even laughed a couple of times. Now that was a surprise.
5. The Question: speaking of Firefly and anime, I have looked over some of the roommate's books about the show, even a book of essays, but have yet to see a reference to the fact that a lot of it was clearly inspired by Cowboy Bebop. Has anyone else noticed this, or seen a discussion? I'd be interested to read a comparison by someone whose brain is working better than mine is right now.
Enjoy Sunday, everyone! :)
