Babylon 5 and other stuff

So, I've started watching Babylon 5. It was originally much further down on my list of stuff to watch, but Costco had all the seasons on sale a couple weeks ago, so we bought it.

We just finished episode 9 of Season 1, so I'm not very far into it yet. I'm still trying to figure it out a bit. I don't dislike it, but I'm not sure how much I like it yet. Unless one or more of the characters really start to jump out at me I don't think I'll become fannish about the show. Of course I could be completely wrong about that, it certainly wouldn't be the first time. Most of my major fandoms started out as shows I only had mild feelings for. ;)

[livejournal.com profile] hl_kink   is accepting prompts here , all pairings and kinks are welcome. Unsurprisingly most of the prompts are Duncan/Methos, but a few of us have requested other pairings. ;D I'm not sure why I commented anonymously, I mean it shouldn't be too hard for anyone to figure out which prompts were mine. And the Master List of prompt fills is here.

There's a couple interesting discussions going on in [livejournal.com profile] kirkspock. Neither one has anything to do with Kirk/Spock, they're more a general fanfic query. What's the most important quality for a fanfic to have? and ESL (English as Second Language) in fanfiction. Surprisingly neither topic has has created drama, rudness or flaming.

I have 8 days to get my Sarah Jane Smith icons done for [livejournal.com profile] doctorwho20in20  and I haven't even started them yet. Plus I have to get some icons done for my [livejournal.com profile] year_of_chars  claim.  I'm just so unmotivated right now.

I do have a new band to obsess over. XD I've been watching The Voice on NBC. I've managed to fall hard for Adam Levine. Hahaha. I've never listened to Maroon 5 before, but he's hot and I love his voice, so I've been watching Maroon 5 vids on youtube. LOL I'm hopeless.

Oh, OH! I saw Thor last night, in IMAX 3D. It was much better than I anticipated. A good lead up to The Avengers.

Speaking of movies, after seeing Fast Five, I realized the only Vin Diesel movies I owned were Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. I've fixed that little oversight. I got the first  Fast & Furious movie at Target (I picked up 2 Fast and 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift as well) and I've ordered xXx and Strays. Now I need to get the 4th Fast and Furious movie. Target was out of it when I went before. I have to poke through my DVDs and see if I have The Pacifier, if not I need to get that one too.
