The Land of Squee

Let's see.

1. The Merlin finale was perhaps the most perfect and beautiful finale ever and I've been listening to "You're the Voice" on repeat for about fifteen minutes at full volume.

2. The LM movie obviously wasn't a carbon copy of the musical or of the Book but for gods SAKE people it was one of the most accurate movie renditions ever and IT WAS ALSO THE MUSICAL *AND* THE GENERAL PUBLIC LIKES IT so anyone who wants to complain about it needs to expect me to roll my eyes HARD at your sorry ass.

3. The Hobbit was really good and I want to go back and see it in 3D because I missed PJ's cameo. So glad everyone else in the world loves Aidan Turner now. I read the book when I was a small child and don't remember a lot of specifics but if that dwarf dies I will be so so sad. As if losing Mitchell wasn't bad enough. NOBODY SPOIL ME.

YOU'RE THE VOICE TRY AND UNDERSTAND IT
MAKE A NOISE AND MAKE IT CLEAR
WHOA-OHHH-WHOA-OHHH-WHOA-OHHHHH-OHHHHH

4. oh yeah doctor who is still a show that's being made, almost forgot. I liked the Christmas special even though it didn't make much sense. Wish Clara wasn't flirting with the Doctor. We need more Donnas. But overall she was pretty great. Too much ableism from the Doctor directed at Strax, which made me uncomfortable, but the Vastra-Jenny-Strax team is great. Memory worm was unnecessarily gross. Why not just retcon people, Doc?

Okay, so my sleeping schedule has been weird lately.  I only got about four hours of sleep the night before Christmas, the night of Christmas, and then the night after that.  So Saturday I went to bed at 2am (early for me, as my hallmates can attest) and got up at 11:30am.  Then, after work, I fell asleep again around 7pm and woke up at midnight.  I wander around the house for a while, read a particular book to which I don't wish to admit reading quite yet, and went back to sleep at 6am.   Woke up at noon.  Am still tired.

BUT, due to the weird schedule, I had some interesting dreams about David Tennant and (*eyeroll*) that book.  The first one was sort of Christmas Invasion-y.  I saw two of those evil Santas in a car and grabbed them and took them someplace and tied them down so they wouldn't hurt me.  But then they turned out to be old ladies?  Or maybe old men.  It went back and forth.  And the one that was tied to a table wanted his shoes to be painted white.  And I tried to do that for him, cos he was dying of old age, but they kept turning clear and that made him sad.  And then he was getting younger or something, which confused me, but it turned out the old stuff was makeup and it was actually David Tennant playing a role.  And I kissed him, which is something I wouldn't mind dreaming about more often, and then I let him up and we went to this house in the woods.  Or maybe it was a bar.  There were a ton of junked cars parked out front.  And when I got there my friend Stacyfacy was being held prisoner by her own family and wasn't even allowed to use this nice headboard I'd bought her, which had clouds on it.  So David Tennant, who had become a vampire at some point, but a nice vampire (*sigh*) and I decided to rescue her.  And then her family left, like in Matilda, and left her behind, so vampire!Tennant and I decided she was part of our family.  Then we drove one of the many used cars from the front lot through the woods to my parents' house, but the car got stuck in a creek, so we went back and rode an elephant instead.  Because apparently Arthur (the Bradley James version) was at my parents' house, playing in a sandbox, and we wanted him to join us too.  Except my dad wouldn't let him, which made us sad.  I think that's the whole thing in a nutshell...

I still have a thousand more words to do tonight but I DON'T WANT TO.

I saw Madagascar 2 today.  It was adorable.  Almost as wonderful as the first one.

The Merlin CIN thing was REALLY AMAZING.  The dl description was "Camelot is attacked by a one-eyed bear; Merlin gets pelted by vegetables and felt up by Arthur... again."  Hilarious.  I think I'm going to need a Merlin tag before too long. 

(No progress bar because I'll presumably type another 1000 words before I go to sleep.  I've done nearly eight hundred thus far.  Yeesh.)

ETA: Screw it.  I still need about eight hundred more, but I'm just burnt out.  I have work tomorrow.  As long as there's not a massive matinee crowd for James Bond I should be able to get plenty done.  And anyway, I want to watch Firefly.  Because the characters are all cliche thus I'm only really interested in the shepherd, but somehow I can't stop watching.  Is it brilliant or is it terrible?  I just don't know.  And anyway, if I thought "I think you may have a problem with your brain being missing" was funny, that was before I saw "Dear Diary... today I was pompous and my sister was crazy.  Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."  Also, unexpected!Zac Efron for the WTF!

ETA again: Jaynestown!  Shepherd!  Hair!  Kaylee!  Simon!  Yay.
