Still here, still alive... still moving on July 15th, hopefully. *g*

Not having internet still totally sucks.

Another quick question. Does anyone know where I can find good books to, you know, download? *g*

Thanks!

Very quick post. I've been trying to find Infection by Scott Sigler (and the sequel, Contagious), but I can't seem to find anywhere. Hmm, does anyone know where I could find it. I tried bookz as a channel, but can't seem to log into the server. *shrugs*

Help? That book is really, REALLY begging to be read. *nods*

Thanks!

ps: Still busy as hell, still without internet. Hmm. Moving day is STILL on July 15th, so YAY FOR THAT. *g*

I miss my pre-moving life. I do.

Things are starting to get... tricky, to say the least. New moving day is July 15, I've already mentioned that, but four months in a rented apartment while still paying the new one is starting to take a toll on all of us. We're running out of money. Very very literally and very real. *sighs* Oh, well. Things will happen the way they have to happen and we'll stretch everything as far as it can take and a little bit more. I'll probably comment more once I get my internet connection back, and that should be the weekend after the 15th, *nods*

What else? Well, midterms were given back and I rocked Earthquake Engineering but they totally caught me with my pants down in Concrete. I have no idea what happened. I was so sure... nevermind. All I can do now is keep on studying and try to get a Hail Mary pass my way, you know? It won't be easy, but then again my life doesn't tend to be easy. Hell, life itself is not supposed to be easy, I think. What I hate the most is that I feel so stupid afterwards, you know? I can't believe that I studied that much and it didn't pay off. I don't get what went wrong.

I have faith, though. It's the final that will rule out at the end, and I wanna believe I can rock that one, even if I don't have the best record when it comes down to finals. But I can do it. I have to do it. That, and I know the teacher is known to take pity on us poor mortals that are taking the subject for the third time. So, yeah. I totally welcome that pity. *nods*

Anyway. What else? I wanna write Kirk/Spock but I'm holding back because, god, dude, there's just so much I don't know, you know? I haven't gotten far with TOS, I'm stuck in the first chapter, but I wanna push through mostly because I can almost see Pine and Quinto in the back, as the boys, you know? *sniff* And the fic is just killing me. It's such a prolific fandom, you know? That's what takes my breath away.

PS: E, sorry I haven't gotten around to answer your two emails. I hate not having internet! *sniff*

Also, I was a little bit too late for the sentence fiction challenge, and I'm hoping *crosses fingers* people drop out at the last minute and I can do some back up writing. It's just what I need, you know? THAT PUSH! *nods*

Oh, and...

WHEN IS STAR TREK COMING OUT IN DVD!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

*sniff* I want a not sucky version so I can totally drool over my boys!!!! *sniff*

Today there was supposed to be a trip to Ticlio that was supposed to leave at 7 am. It's 9 and we are still here. I going not as a student but as a TA and the teacher, my friend Viviana is going out of her mind with anger. We needed one bus for 45 people and instead we got 2. The thing is she was going to explain stuff on the way and it's not like she can be in 2 places at the same time, you know?

We are still waiting!!!

Damn it! I could have slept 2 more hours.

And how are you all?

Ps: I still miss my internet connection. My Blackberry rocks but it's so totally not the same thing. Moving day is on July 15. Hopefully.

Because of my new love for Kirk/Spock, I've realize that I can't settle for only Star Trek XI fanfic. There are thirty years worth of fanfic that I can totally sink my teeth into if I just watch the original show. So thatla what I'm doing. *g*

And while watching "Man eater" that I thought... Wouldn't it'd be amazing if they turned the movie into a series??? Wouldn't you watch THAT? If Quinto wasn't already in Heroes, I might even dream of that, you know? Any hope that Heroes finds an ending soon? *sniff* I just want more Star Trek. Who can blame me?

Right?

So I've finally caught up with Harper's Island and oh my god what's up with that?! I mean, dude, really. So far I hadn't even jumped, but then with the harpoon? Yeah, didn't see that one coming. *nods*

Stil very much in love with Star Trek. *nods* It's all I can do not to leave my grading for next week and just read my way through the new fics (not that I'm not doing a good job at it) and maybe some old ones too. I just love those two! I can't be the only one!!!

What else? Not sure. At the very least I have wifi and it might not be as amazing as being online through the computer, but I can totally read fics. *nods* Yep.

I wonder, is there anything better than falling in love with a new fandom and a new slash pairing and finding tons of fic for them both? I mean, really?

I know it's not exactly a new fandom, what with it being like thirty years old and all, but dude, TOS was never for me, you know? I'm more of a Next Generation kinda gal. But now? Now?! I even want to watch TOS just to find out more about them! About the babies!

I'm weird, I know, but you can't really fautl me, can you? *bounces*

OH, THE SLASHHH!!

I know I'm a little late to the party, but dude, better late than never having gotten here, right? *g*

( just in case there is someone out there more pathetic than me who still hasn't watched it... )

Oh, and on Criminal Minds, who was on the edge of their seats last week? It wasn't just me, right? IT COULDN'T BE! *nods*

DUDEEEE!!!!!!!!

So, left the campus and met with my mom and we went and saw Star Trek! I'd put a tag here if it wasn't for the fact that the movie premiere, I think, over a week ago and I just might the only loser who hasn't seen it yet. *nods*

IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!! God, I can't remember the name of the actors (the guy from Heroes!!!!!!) but the cast was really something. Spock was played, well, I'd say perfectly, but I never did saw the original Star Trek. I'm more of an Enterprise, the Next Generation kinda gal. Picard!!! *nods*

So, I googled the names and Zachary Quinto (what an ugly last name, a guy named that is in the Footing Engineering class I supervise and I don't really like him) was really amazing as Spock. Each time they did a close up of him I couldn't stop from blowing kisses at him! He was so cute! HIS EARS!!!! HIS POINTY EARS!!!!! (and he so reminded me of John Sheppard! Sheppard!!!!!)

*sniff*

Lovely. I do gotta say that I didn't like the girl at all. Hmm. Uhura or something like that? I don't care for the actress, never really have, but the character herself... even my mom didn't like her, and she wasn't seeing the slash like I was. *nods* Though I did say, "She shouldn't be there. The guys have to fall in love," and my mom said, "yeah, totally", so either she only heard the first part of that sentence or she could totally see the subtext. *nods*

No, but really, I didn't like her character. I just can't picture Spock falling for a studen of his (or at least someone under his command) and then just kissing her in the elevator and then in the... transportation deck or whatever that place was called. I can't see it. I'm sorry, but I can't. Someone who was trying to be Vulcan so much, to fall for someone and then display it? Nope, not happening.

Who is with me?! Vera?! *g*

Okay, so, yeah. I'm "getting" SPN as we speak and then Bones and Fringe. *giggles* I already have Criminal Minds and Lie to me in my cell phone. Yee!!!!!

PS: Anyone got any links for slash post movie? Anyone? I'm gonna start looking too, but God, I need some slash!!!! I mean, maybe some preslash? Any fic WHATSOEVER? YES!

PEOPLEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M DONE WITH MIDTERMS!!!! AND... I think I did them pretty freaking well!!!! *BOUNCES*

I'm so happy! DUde, I have only studied for those stupid exams for seven days straight. *sniff* I've been going to bed around two am the whole week, and up around seven. God. I'm tired.

But!!! Huge but! I haven't watched: Wolverine, Star Trek or Angels and Demons. I'm gonna go with my mom to the movies in a little while! To watch one of them all!!!

Now, off to the movies and then to sleep for a whole eight hours.

I'm in the middle of babysitting a midterm - Footing Engineering - and it's from 6.30 to 9.30. Horrible time for an exam, really. Three hours of doing nothing at all because we can't even help them. We can on the tests but not on midterms and finals. Dude, at least here I get wifi and can update for a bit.

I have two tests. Just two tests for the two subjects I'm taking. One tomorrow at 6.30-9.30, Earthquake Engineering and then Concrete on Friday morning. I've studied my ass off - totally and truly - but I still need all the help I can get. So. Keep me in your prayers and if any of you know of a good crossroad, point it out to me, will ya? Ten years sound pretty good to me right about now.

Yeah. Bored.

Is tomorrow the SPN finale? Damn it. I'll watch it on Friday afternoon and probably scream my head off with the lot of you. :D

Bored...

I keep writing Primeval fic in my head, in the stories Stephen walks out of an anomaly to a world where he's died. Nick is surprised but thrilled and he totally takes Stephen in because of course Stephen no longer has a flat. In my most dark times, I write that Stephen walks into a world where Nick is dead. *sniff* Stephen can't believe it and he starts going through anomalies, hoping to chance the past and in doing so that Nick doesn't die. *sniff* I'm evil like that.
Still bored...

Haven't caught up with Southland because I think the show is a little too heavy for my palate. Really, if it wasn't for Ben I never would have started watching the show.

Enough, I think. I gotta are if the idiots are trying to cheat...

Nope, not even trying. Juan Pablo, the other guy babysitting with me, is bored to tears. At least I have my Blackberry. He doesn't. Muahaha!!

Still bored...

Leaving now, though. I'll post more on Friday!

For those of you that like/remember/love the Backsteet Boys, does the song "Siberia" kill you or is it just me? I mean, really. I'm here studying and yet, yet, the second that song comes up... I just whimper. I can't stop myself.

"in my dreams you're still here, like you've always been"

See people? *whimpers* Boys!

Dude . Really.

( could it hurt any worse? )

Also, I started thinking and realized that though I was excited and feeling the episode, it was nothing, for me, compared to either to CSI's Grave Danger or even the OC finale. GD killed me dead ten ways from Sunday. It was horrible. I'd been spoiled, had seen the previews and everything and it was still horrific. I screamed my head off half the time and cried all the while and then kept on screaming and crying. The OC finale killed me the last 20 minutes.

Why is it that GD has set the bar for how much an episode can touch me? Was it actually THAT good or was it just my idea? Hmmm....

I haven't watched the latest episode of Supernatural yet but HOLY COW PEOPLE AM I GONNA DIE!?!?!?!!?! I know I don't really wanna know but.... *BITES FINGERNAILS*

*SCREAMS*

THEY WILL KILL ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, THAT MUCH I DO KNOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

/DIES

PS: DO NOT SPOIL ME!!!!!!

I think it was green_grrl's post about Smallville recs that totally reminded me of the show. So I downloaded the first few episodes.

*sniff* Do you guys remember Lex when he was trying to be friends with Clark?

We have a future Clark, and I don't want anything to stand in the way of our friendship.

*sniff* I miss those times! Truth is I barely saw the show around the time Lana married Lex and even less when somehow Clark ends up working with Lois in the Daily Planet. I'm keeping the first three seasons close to my chest and that's that. *nods* Yep.

Remember how I mentioned, ages ago, that we were supposed to move to our new apartment around the end of March? Remember how that got postponed and postponed? Well, our latest (and hopefully finaly) moving day is July 1st. Yep.

I already freaked out, pissed off out of my mind, and I'm slightly better now. At least I don't feel like I'm gonna scream to the first person to ask me about anything and everything. *sighs* I hate this. Mostly because this moving thing has started to affect almost everything. I can handle being mad at Jose or my parents and it not influence my studies, but when it comes down to the moving? Not so much. I was supposed to get some writing done, but all I want to do right now is go home and watch The Mentalist and Jounjo Romantica and drink Coke. I'm not kidding! *sniff*

Nevermind. Still gotta grade, so, yeah. See you all later. *grumbles*

Man, I used to have an "alone" icon from the Sam dies in Dean's arms scene and god, would that fit right about now...

( hope this cut through the bb thing works... )

So, I'm sitting at this internet cafe about three blocks from the Apart Hotel I'm staying at, and mostly the reason I came in was to upload this homework I have due. Well, I've downloaded Southland and Supernatural as well, but that's beyond the point. *g*

The thing I wanted to write about is, mostly, this girl that's sitting right next to me. I can't see her because she's on the other side of this wall pretending to give the booths some kind of privacy. I have no idea what the girl is doing on internet, but she has spent the whole time on the phone. I think she brought her daughter along (she doesn't sound more than twenty, I swear!) but I've heard the little girl keep asking her for a Coke or some chips and the girl just keeps saying stuff like, "No, don't touch that? Can't you see I'm on the phone? Can't you see I'm chatting?" Oookay.

The last phone calls have been to friends, about some gossip or other and then to a couple of guys and more friends about what they are doing tonight because she really really wants to go partying and get drunk out of her ass. *giggles*

Kinda silly of me, to post this, but I just found it so weird, you know? I still believe that having a child means you need to put them first, whatever happens, so. Yeah. That, and going out to a party as plans for a holiday (Labor Day!) it's just not my thing. Never has been. I'm more of a "stay at home and watch something" kinda girl. Besides, Wolverine! I wanna watch it on the cinema, damn it! I gotta talk my mom into going. I don't go to the movies alone, I'm not sure why. *shrugs*

Okay, armed with two brand new episodes, I'm off!

Dude, I wasn't really gonna watch it mostly because it didn't catch my attention, but I had saved it, just in case. Well, I figured I'd give it a shot. It's not quite as creepy as a good Stephen King book, but I think it has potential.

Now I wanna watch either It the movie or Red Rose. *g*

So, turns out wifi does reach my apartment (third floor) if I'm either at the table or sitting by my computer. At least I don't have to go down to front desk just to check my email.

Today we moved the last of our stuff to the small room (apart from out apartment) the hotel we're staying at let us borrow. I'm sick of having to move stuff. The more I move, the more I want to get rid of evething and just start anew, you know? It's just that there comes a point after you've moved a hundred and one boxes, a hundred and one times that you wonder if you really do need that much stuff. I wish we were more like Charlie Crews and had no furniture whatsoever. *sighs*

One that note, well, I can live without furniture but not without clothes (can you blame me?). I've gone shopping about five times in the last month and spent way more than usual. I'm loving everything, sure, but dude, I just keep finding more clothes I love and gotta have.

Okay, gone for now. But one quick question... Am I the only one that's watched Supernatural??????? I haven't seen a single comment about the last episode from anyone in my flist. People, what the hell? Was I the only one that had a freak out not ten minutes into the show, when you learn that more than one fic got that AU storyline right???? *screams* sorry, couldn't help it. It was shocking. At least to me it was. *nods*

Gone now, swear!
