tahariel: (X-men - Storm thunder)
Today I am very tired because I got back very late from the cinema (went to see Avatar again, but the decent time was all gone when I got there so we went to the late show) and then I'd run out of cough medicine so I kept myself up all night coughing. Fun times.





I know this is the second day in a row I have recced one of her fics, but I'll be honest, I adore [livejournal.com profile] hackthis's writing. She's just such a wonderful storyteller. So: here is a story I absolutely love. She's taken the idea of Superman and Lois Lane's child from Superman Returns, and fused that with the Clark/Lex relationship of Smallville and Clark and Lex's canonical biological child, you heard me right, Kon-El, from the comics, to make an insightful, clever fic that really uses all three sources to advantage, and without using one over the others. You don't have to have read/seen all three to follow this.

...while recovering from the lurgy. I'm mostly better now, just a tiny bit sniffly and with a bit of a cough left over, though that was pretty bad this morning - I think it's calling up the Ghost of Christmas Past, as in the truly awful cough I had last December/January. Hopefully that will continue to calm down and leave now.

So, Things I Have Been Thinking About...

  • Isn't it cool to know that a thousand years ago or more your ancestors lived in the very land you call your home today? I was thinking about this in the States, too, about how everyone there was an immigrant at some point or other, but both sides of my family are at the very least Norman in origin and without much migration. Neat.

  • STARGATE ATLANTIS I LOVE YOU. I. LOVE. YOU. Watched eps four and five and they were ACE. Rodney got shot in the ASS! With an ARROW! And then had MORPHINE-INDUCED RAMBLINGS! Words cannot express how much I love this show. Also, Ronon backstory! And a hint of John backstory! Wicked! Anyone who wants these can have copies of the eps at any time.

  • Numb3rs is a cool show. I bought it in the US and I've already watched ten out of thirteen episodes, all yesterday (though please remember that I am ill and thus had no energy to do anything much else.) I love the brothers (especially Charlie) and it's really interesting seeing how they treat the whole 'amazing mathematician' thing since that's what I'm trying to do with Toby. I may go back to The Mourning Tree and put more maths in it in a subtle sort of way to get that mindset across more. I'll definitely be downloading the second season when it comes out, though. [livejournal.com profile] ionaonie, we can squee together about it over the internet every week after each episode airs, yeah? ^-^

  • It's really interesting to watch TV with a writer's eye and suddenly realise why they do specific things visually. For instance, in Smallville, Clark wears blue and red ALL THE TIME. Those are, of course, Superman' colours. But then, when he's under the influence of red kryptonite, he wears white and black or something else along those lines. It really makes a visual difference. And in Numb3rs, the two guys look alike enough to be brothers but they dress them vey differently and do their hair very differently to show the similarities and differences between them more clearly. It's really interesting.

    Notes for people specifically because I'm too lazy to email you:

    [livejournal.com profile] tarayith, did you watch any of the SGA I lent you? Did you like it?
    [livejournal.com profile] katsideswide, did you watch The 4400? (You never remember to read this, so I don't know why I bother, so I'll probably end up emailing you ^-^)
    [livejournal.com profile] pobbit, if you want to come over some time soonish, you can get your SGA Season Two back and also I'll write episode five of the new season onto a disk for you. We can even use the one I already gave you, it's rewritable.

    Anyone else, just drop me a line if you want to chat, I'm totally free the rest of the summer :) Will soon be putting out details on zoo trip, also!
