According to Wikipedia we (Swedes) have seen 11x07 Days of Misrule of Midsomer Murders before the Brits since according to Wiki, the episode is set to air as a Christmas episode during 2008. Is that really true? In that case, it's sort of amusing in a way. ♥ I love Midsomer Murders so. However, I'm so sad that I missed the episode last night. Damn the Dark Knight (it's actually kind of sad - if I knew that MM was airing on Tuesday (I'd forgotten) I probably would've postponed my viewing of TDK). I'm going to tattoo the rerun on my forearm if I have two. Tomorrow, 21.50 SVT24.

Seriously people. Midsomer Murders is the shit. Why do Brits make the best TV shows? Life on Mars and Midsomer Murders. In my opinion, those are the two best shows ever. Seriously. (and you know I only say seriously when it's true love)

I'm really in the mood to print out some fan fictions and keep it in this folder that I have so I can read good fics without having to go online or such. Or keep like an archive of good fics on my computer. And therefore I'm asking you whether or not you have any favourites in these fandoms that you think I could enjoy:

Doctor Who (Doctor/Rose or gen, Master/Lucy), Supernatural (gen and/or Sam/Ruby), Gossip Girl (Eric & Chuck friendship, Chuck/Blair, Blair/Nate, Vanessa/Dan, Vanessa/Nate), X-Files, Sarah Connor Chronicles (John/Cameron, Cameron/Derek or some sort of triangle), Smallville (Clark/Lois, Lois/Oliver, Lois & Jimmy), Torchwood (Ianto/Jack, Ianto/Owen, Owen/Tosh, Ianto/John - haha, just something I thought of - oh the plot bunnies I just had), Ugly Betty (Betty/Gio), Criminal Minds (Reid, gen), Life on Mars (gen, Sam/Annie), Veronica Mars (Veronica/Weevil, Veronica/Lamb, Veronica/Duncan, Veronica/Piz, gen), Battlestar Galactica (Gaius/Six), Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angel (I guess I can read anything but Spuffy and/or Angel/Cordelia at this point).

Also, huge happy birthday to missambs :D

Does anyone feel like making a header for me? Pretty please? My paid account is expiring soon. Which is really sad because that means that I'll get back to those hideous ads that I've come to loathe with a passion and now there's no escaping them *cries* And if I'm going to be subjected to them, at least I can have a pretty layout for the one I have at the moment is... well, not to my liking. Anyone feel like they want to make one? Comment and I shall supply you with pictures and stuff, if you'd like.

Right now my life is going pretty smoothly. Sure, I'm under a lot of pressure but it's okay. I spend most of my time in school, and talk to friends and then I basically come home for dinner, watch an episode of Pride and Prejudice ('95 version for the win :D) and then check my email on Hany's computer (Internet only works on one computer and since he - he's my mother's husband - is obsessed with Fifa 2007, we can't check our email most of the time) and then go to bed. It's become sort of a routine.

Still haven't had the chance to watch any more Greek because of well... no Internet, but I did catch a few minutes of Life on Mars on television the other day (it went on BBC Prime) so I took a few pictures, screening the TV, so I have a few John Simm pics and one Guv and one Sam/Annie. Oh show, how I've missed thee.

I hope that Internet starts working on my Suse soon because I'm dying. The network card isn't working, or it doesn't connect with the Internet and the second harddrive I have installed on my computer, containing stuff like music, I'm not allowed to delete anything there and apparently my computer recognizes it as being part of Windows, which is weird. *headdesk* How do I get Internet working on my Suse?

I'm listening to the Life on Mars soundtrack and I realized I totally miss my Life On Mars obsession. I need to revisit that fandom soon, because it was so FRICKING FANTASTIC! :D Oh well, I'm being a fangirl I suppose. I have a few episodes on my computer that I'll watch and we'll see where that goes.

Tomorrow I have a presentation on slavery due in my Social Science class and I have to organize and make notes and stuff like that. It's going to be interesting. Also, I need to write a wishlist for Christmas to my mother and find a beta to my Chuck/Blair fic. Anyone interested?

I've been a terrible commenter lately but that is because it seems like the power of words have failed me completely. Most entries are generally about people informing me what's going on in their lives, which is fantastic, but it's a bit hard to comment on on occasion. And it seems like I'm in one of those occasions right now.

Also, I need more Josh Groban music :D Oh, how I love thee. Although my sister is this close to put me in a treatment centre for the mentally disturbed. Even if Josh Groban represents 80% of what I listen to right now, it doesn't mean it's only Josh Groban, right? :P Besides, he's a good singer and it's such pleasant music so I'm hardly complaining.

I'm still a lot behind of my flist and I still won't be able to comment for another few days. My brain is dead, I bought a new magazine, some new clothes, got a little less than half Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows left (not sure if I like it yet, WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!) and I just feel generally uninspired. However, I do still love my John Simm &hearts , Dexter, Doctor Who, Heroes (I'm not in the mood of watching returns of it, so therefore there's little squeeage at the moment, but it will come really soon. Heroes friends, hang in there ;)) and all those other shows I'm seriously neglecting. I haven't been able to see an episode of Supernatural since Bloody Mary a few days ago but I'll see what I can do about it.

I'm thinking about ordering make-up from EverydayMinerals.com, has anyone else bought make-up there? Is it good?

*sigh* Gonna watch some old!Doctor Who (it's good but they talk too bloody much at times and it makes my head even deader. They need to show things more rather than just explain it) and then there's Midsomer Murders ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (you can't have summer without Midsomer Murders!). Then I'm off to bed and tomorrow I will paint a house at work and hopefully finish Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Would anyone be interested in a reaction post for me or has everyone done it too many times already?

Also, stealing this idea from anythingbutgrey because I thought it'd be fun (don't hate me if you think parroting *this isn't an essay or such but still... I like the word 'parroting'* is really bad)
[Poll #1027152]

Title: The Doctor Will See You Now (4/6)
Fandom: Life on Mars/Doctor Who crossover
Rating: PG
Summary: Doctor and Rose travel to the 70's to see the sights but end up seeing something entirely different from what they'd planned.
Spoilers: Entire Life on Mars (but set sometime post-s1) and early season two Doctor Who
Pairings: Sam/Annie, implied Gene/Sam, Doctor/Rose if you want but nothing really shippy.
Notes: Probably my first non-ship fic. I just got this story that I wanted to tell in my head and well... I told it. One could argue perhaps that I made Sam/Annie shippy but I don't really think so since I, at least in my own opinion, made them very close to canon. I tried to be as faithful as I could to both "realities" when I brought them together

Happy birthday entangled_now! I hope you'll have a fantastic one.

I started working on my other job today. Two hours later, I'm strangely exhausted. I'm working with one guy I "know" I went in the same class as him about... four years ago, called Joel. He's really kind and the other people I work with are from Obbola (our neighbouring "village") and are sort of... I wouldn't call them dumb but they seem to be the kind of guys that think blowing up things are cool and that working with engines is perhaps the best thing one could do.

The best part about today is that I found out that Joel has seen Life on Mars (!) I don't know how many episodes but I bet it's at least two because he remembered that Life on Mars by David Bowie was played during Life on Mars and he was giving me a short summary of the plot (quite accurately, which people don't tend to do over here). Totally made me squee. And he has his birthday close to mine (which I knew), so when his birthday's tomorrow, I have to remember to say 'happy birthday to him'.

Off to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

This makes me literary sick inside (about Life on Mars USA, which is gonna totally be sucking so unbelievably). Seriously, I'm feeling extremely nauseated. I won't see the American version for as long as I live. It will make me depressed.

I found a Sam Tyler mood theme, which I'm gonna use. Master in all honour, but nothing beats Sammyboy :D
