My sister and I invented a list of predictions for the final season of LOST! It's posted over at her journal if your interested. FYI, you're gonna have to look up Egyptian mythology for some of it to make sense. :p

Don't forget to leave a message. Let us know your predictions!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Okay, now that I got that out of my system. I found this article written by a bloke who had a first look at the pilot script of Rex is Not Your Lawyer. Not only does he say the show sounds really good, save for a few minor quibbles, he says the EW spoilers about Rex being cancelled/postponed are completely fabricated!

*Does happy dance*

Read the article, admire the pretty picture of David included, and tell me what you think!

The picks for this meme was given to me by teskafuture.

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

1. david tennant's scottish brogue ( Yummy! )

2. all things must pass ( All things must pass away )

3. 10.5/rose ( Rose Tyler, I love you! )

4. get smart ( Missed it by THAT much )

5. frodo baggins ( I will take the Ring to Mordor )

6. the bible ( the B I B L E )

7. narusaku ( Believe It! )

16s16 gave me the "You Make my Day Award!" Now I must pick 10 people from my f-list and give them the same award! If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own. So if your name was chosen... come on down! You're the next contestant on the make my day meme!

I decided to choose people who I didn't pick last year. But you're all wonderful! :)

Dear writers/producers of:

1. Ugly Betty
2. House
3. Doctor Who
4. The entire NBC Network

Stop f*cking with your fans.

Plzkthnx.

Oh, and if the writers/producers of LOST try to pull a fast one, there will be blood.

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."

I was tagged by the lovely 16s16

1. I've worn glasses for 15 years. I refuse to wear contacts, because I find the idea of sticking something in my eyeballs repulsive.
2. I've been singing my whole life. I even took a year or two of voice lessons, and I've gotten several solos at college and at church.
3. Up till a few years ago, I hated Scifi. But then I got into LOST and then Doctor Who, and it's been all downhill since. :p
4. I'm an Anglophile. Actually, I love all the British Isles, so does that make me a Britainphile? I love British movies, TV, authors, music, the culture, the history, etc. Sometimes I really feel I was born on the wrong continent.
5. I've never been kissed or asked on a date, and not for lack of trying, either. I've determined all boys my age are emasculated little twerps. Yeah, slightly bitter. -__-
6. I have a veritable wealth of useless trivia stored in my brain. I really don't know how I have room for anything else. xD
7. My sister and I will have entire conversations in goofy/often high-pitched voices. Why? Because we want to!

I randomly tag the following people: maramyanet, naika7, sunnytyler001, bastetseye, arshes13, athousandsmiles and autumnfairytale.

From Hitfix.com:

Some of the upcoming potential programs are already pretty far along, particularly "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer," featuring recently departed Dr. Who David Tennant. That quirky legal hour has finished shooting its pilot and NBC execs will be watching it this week. While Bromstad stopped well short of indicating that a series pick-up was inevitable, she indicated that if "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" is ordered, it could be ready to premiere on NBC as early as late spring or possibly early fall.

Please, please, PLEASE pick this up, NBC. You are already officially pathetic and stupid, but you will be forever placed on my banned list if you don't greenlight this project.
*cross fingers and toes*

Title: Magi and Mistletoe

Author's Note: This story is for the amazing and talented surrexi. I'm sorry this Christmas fic is a little late. Life and The End of Time got in the way. *sniffles*

Well, it's about 12:45 am where I am, and I thought I would wish you all a Happy New Year! May 2010 be a good year for you.

BTW, for any of my American Doctor Who friends, BBCAmerica is playing all of David Tennant's episodes in preparation for the second part of TEOT. Currently, it's Christmas Invasion. (Of course all of Rose's episodes would be playing in the middle of the night. BBCAmerica hates her).

I have a Looooooooong List of Movies I watch every year, but my absolute favourites are:

1. White Christmas
2. Scrooge (1951 A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim)
3. It's A Wonderful Life
4. Muppet Christmas Carol

There aren't many Christmas movies I can't stand, though I have a low tolerance for the 1930's A Christmas Carol, because it takes far too many liberties and Reginald Owens' performance is lacking to me.

I think the one Holiday movie I absolutely hate is A Christmas Story. I don't find it funny at all. :/

Title: Comfort and Joy

Beta: worbeest. Thanks for doing this, even with your cold! :)
Rating: PG
Written for greenescrubs, who wanted the following three things: 1. Snuggling by the fire 2. Baby's first Christmas 3. White sweater

Things not wanted: 1. Angst 2. Any other ducklings 3. Post mid-Season 3 Cameron (I kinda flubbed on this one. I mentioned the kiss, which happened a little past the middle of season 3)

Warning: Full out Saccharine. You're teeth will rot. ( Merry Christmas! )

Hey Jude!

They say it's your birthday. You're gonna have a good time. I'm so glad it's your birthday! Happy Birthday to you!!


Thanks for being a great friend, tsukihysteria. *Lots of love*

Happy Birthday to my good friend and fellow shipper naika7!!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy belated Birthday to chlorinehamster! I hope it was a great day and you got to read/watch lots of Hameron fics/vids. :)

I think people confuse chemistry with physical attraction. IMO, there is a vast difference betwen the two. Physical attraction is that instantaneous feeling you get when you see someone you think is attractive. You don't have to know anything about them. You just find them hot. Chemistry runs deeper. It's that connection you develop with a person based on your common interests and desires, that feel good sensation you get by being with them, coupled, of course, with physical attraction.

I've definitely fallen for somebody that I wasn't interested in at first. It's my usual mojo. I'll befriend a guy and then the attraction develops later. It's like a light switches on one day and I realize how attractive that guy is. Of course, I've never had the feelings reciprocated, so the second question doesn't apply. :/

In typical Cassie-fashion, I've been completely shirking any updates on my personal life. So last Friday I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. They were all impacted, and even though the oral surgeon was forthright and said that I might never have an issue with them, I thought it would be best to take them out whilst I'm still young and can heal quickly. So the procedure went by without a hitch. I even thanked my nurses afterward for taking good care of me, which made my dad tear up. I guess he was touched that I would thank the people who had just inflicted pain on me, but my rationale is they were just doing their job. Not their fault if it hurts like hell. Lol

Once again in typical Cassie-fashion, I got home and fainted from God knows what--lack of blood, the anesthetics wearing off, etc. Not that anybody was particularly freaked out by this. I'm the queen of fainting. I've passed out six or seven times in my short 23 years of life. Plus, I had managed to sit down and calmly inform my mother that I was about to faint, so she was well-prepared to handle me. :p

The rest of the weekend/week has flown by without incident. The swelling has gone down a lot, and if you didn't know what I looked like you probably wouldn't notice anything wrong with my face, except for these two uniform bruises on each of my cheeks. My major complaint right now is that the Vicodin is making my head fuzzy and I can't think/talk/write with my usual level of clarity.

Oh, and in case you're wondering about the title of my post . . . I thought I would enjoy eating loads of ice cream and milkshakes with impunity, but I am positively sick of them. I want REAL food. A fat, juicy steak would be nice. Too bad I couldn't chew it right now. If I never drink another milkshake in this lifetime I'll be quite all right (and I'm sure my waistline concurs with me).

Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

sunnytyler001 asked me:

1. What is your favourite Daniel/Betty moment?
That's a tough one. The whole season one episode "In or Out," cemented my love for the pairing. There was that great karaoke bit, where they sang "I Got You, Babe," and then Daniel's famous declaration to Betty, "You're better than a model." But I also really enjoyed when Daniel told Betty she was beautiful in season three. And then there was the season four premiere. I really felt like they had taken a step forward in their relationship. :)

2. Rogue/Wolverine or Rogue/Gambit?
I prefer Rogue/Wolverine in both comic and movie-verse, but I am not opposed to Rogue/Gambit. I just feel Rogue/Gambit has a tendency to get sappy and melodramatic. *shrugs*

3. Who is your favourite writer?
*Cries* I don't know. There are too many talented people in this world. I LOVE Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Fyodor Dostoevsky. I think they all had their off days, but their good stuff far outweighs the bad. :p

4. If the Master & Rose had met, what would have happened?
I think the Master would have used Rose in some way to get to the Doctor, whether by manipulating her against the Doctor or by kidnapping her and threatening to kill her. If Rose had been manipulated, it would only have been for a short while, because she's far too awesome not to figure out something's amiss with the Master's thinking. Ultimately, the Master would discover that the Doctor and Rose have too strong of a bond to be permanently separated, and he would run off to sulk, his plans momentarily foiled. :)

5. With Betty becoming a beautiful butterfly and a successful editor and Silvio Horta starting to deny his previous statement about no Daniel/Betty, do you think the end of Ugly Betty might be close?
Yeah, I do. It's hard to say what came first: did Horta recant his declaration because the ABC producers told him his show was coming to an end this season? Or did the creative team decide to go with the Detty pairing and then the ABC network told them this was the final season? I also find it suspicious that despite the low ratings UB has been getting, ABC has made no mention of cancelling the show. If the network knew this was the last season they could be graciously letting the show end properly instead of prematurely pulling the plug.

I snagged this from bastetseye
