Imaginary Gardens

I just did some quick math and realized that I am in fact turning 25 this year. That can't be right. Ok, shock and horror at forgetting my own age, and further shock and horror at being freakin' 25. The shock and the horror, man.

In other news, I went out grocery shopping and got only like 2% of what was on my shopping list. So that's swell. And then I get to get all miserable and wibbley over my microwave chicken because of what mom said yesterday.

eustacia_vye28's "Next of Kin"
earthwhatwere's "Never Saw Blue" and "Beauty and the Mess"

JossWhedonGirl's "Blue Sun" Firefly/Buffy crossover

beautifool's "The Shiny Affair of Mr Pink"
Whistler84's "Surivivors" Buffy fic
Aeneas's "Some Kind of Crazy" Firefly/PitchBlack crossover

On their own site

http://www.firefly-tvs.net is what it says: a Virtual Season. (Just like http://www.buffyworld.com has a Season 8 Virtual Season). Rocks all sorts of socks.


Naturally enough, reading Aeneas's fic last night got me back into my Riddick-mode. So off I went hoppity skip to novafry's "Reason's Why Riddick" website when the internet screws me over once more. Why? THe site isn't there anymore. It was such a good site, too.

*scampers off to google innocently*

I've got some Riddick-fics from fanfiction.net saved that I'll have to check up on. But NO pics. Why, god, why? (Except I think I might still have those links K set me. One involved a kilt.)


In other news, they'll be airing Lost on Spanish television in April. Reading over a guy's shoulder at the train station, I saw that they described the show as "set in Hawaii". Maybe filmed in Hawaii, but I thought it was *set* in "Wherethefuckarewe, Middleofnowhere". Call me silly, but they're "lost", right? They're not lost IN the island, they're lost ON the island.


Oh, and yes, important news: Spain now free of armed terrorists. Yay! Now it's democracy for all, even ETA.

Another thing I've ben meaning to post for ages: I am deeply ashamed that Eto'o has been the butt of racist comments* whilst playing football. And not just once, either. The last time, though, he stepped off the pitch in protest, but was later convinced by fellow teammates to play. Now the host stadium has to pay a (non-enough) amount of cash and some other sanctions as well. Still, deeply ashamed for humanity.
