I feel like I should update once a day, because I swore I would when I got my LJ. But I don't, because some days, I don't have all that much to say. So, compartmentalized, bullet point updates:

-class. going well. seems fun. Far too much human interaction required. It's terrible.

-church. okay. still liking the new pastor. kind of frightened by this, though don't have time for very much. thrice bitten, very shy. that sort of thing.

House MD: "Sports Medicine". In which everyone is anti-Yankees, and Ari literally squees every time this fact gets mentioned. "I'm willing to bet the Yankees are somehow involved." "It might mean someone will finally beat the Yankees." Ohhhh, I'm an easy sell, I really am. Love for Wilson, House, and Cuddy is firmly cemented.

I have worries about House/Cameron. I like it fine as an extracanonical pairing, but if it gets too canon, well, then. House/Wilson, on the other hand? I might have to watch that scene over and over and over again. I admit, I underestimated the pairing after four episodes, but on further consideration, well, it makes a lot of sense. And dammit, it's all House is a fucking uke bitch repressed blahda blahda never really loved.

That he once lived with someone, though, fascinating tidbit. Makes me love him even more, if such a thing be possible.

House steps out of elevator, clutching pants. Wilson comes up to him with some medical charts.
W: Hey! *stares at House clutching groin, they walk*
H: Hank Wiggin peed on me.
W: *laughs, stop staring*
H: What do you think these pants are worth on eBay?
W: I've got some big boy diapers in my office. The rep hands them out like candy.
H: That bad?
W: *shrugging it off* No! Not if you like the smell of urine, of course.
H: Why should I trust someone who lies about what he's doing Friday night?
(They've reached the door to House's office; House turns to face Wilson as he delivers this line)
(pause while Wilson fails to answer)
H: Question is, what are you really doing Friday night? And more to the point, what could possibly be better than monster trucks? Or are we breaking up? (he delivers this last intensely sarcastic, leaning in to Wilson to ask. More silence, then he turns to go into his office. Wilson shakes his head, and eventually follows him in. House looks in a gym bag for pants)
W: (defensively) Stacey's coming to town this weekend. We're having dinner. Just... catching up.
H: I definitely had pants here. (he looks around) Wait a second, is that Stacey the stripper? I heard she's playing Atlantic City.
W: No... Stacey the constitutional lawyer.
H: You thought I couldn't handle this news.
*long pause as they look at each other*
H: You talk to her a lot?
W: No. It's been a long time.
H tries to collect himself.
W: Look, if you don't want me to see her...
H: What is this, eighth grade? I'm fine.
W: It's fine if you're upset.
H: NO. It's.... (flips angrily through gym bag.) I have no right to be upset. You two are friends. *pause* You should see her. (He is SO CLOSE to tears now.) Say hi for me.
W: (incredulous) So... you're okay?
H: I'm not the cancer doctor who's lying about a cancer dinner (dumps bag behind desk, picks up cane) I'm not the one betraying all those poor little... bald-headed dying kids. I'm gonna go get some pants. I stink.


Drabble from doyle_sb4's drabble-a-thon. Dawn in "Nightmares">

monkverse, Dawn in "Nightmares"
Dawn picks up a paintbrush and draws a long red gash down her mother's favorite painting, but because of Buffy, Mom doesn't care.

Buffy is sick, or maybe dead. Whatever's wrong, it's making everyone focus on Buffy (like always). She hates that.

She closes her eyes. Worried.

She sees no one. She peeks around a corner cautiously. No one there either. And down a long hallway, and no one there, either. No monsters, no stupid-face big sisters.

No one.

"Mommy?"

No answer.

She tries not to panic but wherever she turns, spiderwebs and blood, and when she turns back, the empty hallways that mean she doesn't matter.


Vmars: spoilers through episode 14 "Mars vs. Mars"

[episode 9: "Drinking the Kool Aid"]

Yep. That's my one true family.

(Really pleased with how they made the cult not actually be a) a cult or b) evil. BtVS wouldn't have done that first season.)


[episode 10: "An Echolls Family Christmas"]
Oh yes. Weevil/Logan IS the a OTP. In the hatesex sense. Kinda, actually, reminds me, of House/Foreman. Waiting for the Veronica/Logan. Waiting... waiting... I sort of see tiny bits of it, but... uh... they've had like two minutes of interaction.

And awww, Duncan/Logan is really sweet. Logan can be sweet. I admit it, I admit it.

All right. I'm buying Logan as they sell him to me. Not going whole hog on him, despite the obvious cute factor, because he is a snarky asshole. But he has redeeming qualities -- his friendship with Duncan, his relationship with Lily. Both of which I like a lot.

On the other hand, this episode intrigues me because it seems to be relevant to my favorite plotline so far, the Veronica's paternity issue. Where Veronica confronts Jake Kane about the surveillance photos, and he goes to his wife, and omg, jealousy much, Celeste? And Keith, who is my WOOBIE, and I wonder what was going through his head when he saw his daughter talking to her biological father. ohmygodilovekeithmars. Seriously.

There is nothing I don't love about the Keith-Veronica relationship. And I'm all excited to be all excited about a non-pr0nful relationship. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with teh_pr0n, but I don't think I've ever been this het up about a gen relationship. Everyone you need to write me fic omg! I'm watching another ep of House so I can get to the next ep of VMars so I can see more Keith. I have mentioned how much I love him, right? Right?

[episode 11: "Silence of the Lamb"]
Things I love about Veronica and her father: everything.

Twilight Zone ref. teh_squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Weeeeeeeeeevil! <3<3<3<3 It's the same scene Gunn pulled in "Blind Date" but... SO CUTE. "And it's driving the property values down."

But ewww, creepy guys chatting up Veronica. Especially since said guy probably killed all those girls.

Aww. I kind of love Mac. Just kind of. She's not hitting the hard core kink? But she's got parent/family issues. And that makes her really, really cute in my book. Plus, she looks adorable. Yes, there is Mac-love. Oh, is there ever Mac-love. There's also this subplot? With like, a murderer or something? And dude, I was still convinced creepy deputy was the killer up till him breaking up with VMars. But. And I do stress the but. Keith. Is. LOVE. Keith beating up random informant for smart ass remarks about his daughter. Is love.

Gah.

[episode 12: "something about vulcans, or maybe tritons?"]
On being photographed handcuffed... "gosh, I hope they use that shot in the yearbook." My God, I love my girl. Almost as much as I love her daddy.

Mmmm... okay. I'm sorry. I think that knowing that Logan is Ultimate Woobie has sort of spoiled the actual moment of "what's so great about living?"

Well, given that we have to listen to her for like five minutes, it's a good thing they decided VMars can sing.

Aiight. About this Logan thing. His dad's a scumbag, his mom just killed herself... eh. *feels sad doesn't care*

[episode 13: "Lord of the Bling" and 14 "Mars vs. Mars"]

Basically, all about the Logan. I'm definitely not sold on him as my favorite character, not by a long shot, but he's... okay, if it weren't for fandom being "omg woobie!" I'd probably be all over him, but inflated expectations, yeah, all that. On the other hand, I can totally get where he's at more now, and I can totally see how Veronica is coming to the realization that like, hey, Duncan and Logan aren't, actually, Evil.

Unless of course Duncan killed Lily. Spec says he did in a blackout due to Crazy, and family covered it up on account of being rich and bastards. Does not explain the entire Mars-connection, however, and isn't entirely a complete rationale for why Duncan might've killed her.

"If I'm ever in trouble, I want you on my side."
"That's where I'll be."

OTfamily!

I'm a huge fan of pre-season 5 Dawn stories--the memories she she and others now have. But I think your drabble is the highest quality such fic I've come across so far: it has a poignancy and beauty that's rare, and you write a very believable and real pre-M.T. Dawn.

It's such a lovely drabble, that I really can't say enough good things about it.

Don't know anything about any of the other stuff listed.

[wisdomeagle]

Eee, thank you so much. :)

[inlovewithnight.livejournal.com]

Gah, I LOVE that scene in "Sports Medicine." Oh, House, you are SUCH a fabulous character...::fangirls briefly::

And thanks for the fredcentricity pimp. :)

[wisdomeagle]

Oh, it breaks my heart, it does!

You're entirely welcome. :)

I love writing fics from drabbles. I'm filled up with fannish commitments at the moment, but when I whittle things down would you mind horribly if I expanded that drabble? Please? *bats eyelashes*

[wisdomeagle]

*g* Nope, be my guest! *is also filled up with fannish commitments* *hides from due dates*
