Tonight I went with H to see Eat, Pray, Love which was good but, once again, I was wishing I'd read the book when I first heard about it and not last week. The storyline (which I found amazing in the book and okay in the movie) was too fresh but I really wanted to see the outdoor scenes on the big screen. They were awesome!
Okay, okay. You caught me. I really wanted to see him:
No, this isn't Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It's Javier Bardem, the much cooler Spanish actor. He's playing a Brazilian in this movie which makes him pretty cool in my book. He's got some of the same accent problems that my brother-in-law has but I'd love A's take on the guy's Portuguese because you've never heard anyone get more angry than my BIL when someone thinks he's Spanish or from Latin America or Mexico. I have to respect him, though. I hate it when people think I'm from Iowa.
Sorry, there's a joke there but you'd only know if you're from Idaho, Iowa or Indiana. No one gets those states right.
Anyway, was looking around for some prompts for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_humpdrabbles Humpathon 2010 (for forth and write, I tell you! The world needs more HP drabble porn!) and found this song which made me think about a completely different story.
Fragile Heart by Westlife
(Video at YouTube here
A fragile heart was broken before
I don't think it could endure another pain
But there's a voice from deep inside of you
That's calling out to make you realize
That this new bond gives inspiration
To all who feel no love appeal no more
So how can I break this wall around you
That's aiding both our hearts to grow in pain
So forget your past, and we can dream tomorrow
Save our hearts for card and lovin too
It's hard I know, but oh
One thing for sure
Don't go and break this fragile heart
A hurting mind in need of emotion
I don't think I could endure another pain
But baby in you, I've found affection
Affection I have never felt before
So don't let your past destroy what comes tomorrow
Don't go and break my fragile heart
With all this fire that burns between us
There's so much to lose
Yet so much more to gain
And if I could, choose the world around me
The world I'd choose would all revolve around you
So help me complete the game inside me
And help to mend my fragile heart
It all boils down to the fact that I entered a new Big Bang. This one issyfybigbang and you can write any show (and I mean ANY) that has ever been on the SyFy Network (or, before they got weird and changed their name, the SciFi Network). Guess what I'm writing! No, go ahead and guess!
Okay, I'm going to write Stargate Atlantis. You're surprised, aren't you? Well, you shouldn't be. Ever since I wrote that drabble for the Little Bang atstargateland I've been wanting to expand it. Here's my chance. And it's doable. Only 15k. I can do that pretty easily. It's getting over that mark (without writing myself out of a story) that's killing me!
The Marauder Big Bang? I'm not thinking about it right now.
Thewhedonland Heart of Gold? It's still in the notebook but I'll be typing it up this weekend and I have all my recs and things I've made other than this massive fic. Well, it feels massive. 15 pages of the notebook, single sided. That seems massive, right?
Myrarepair_shorts story? Haven't even thought about it other than the 100 hasty words I wrote out before church last week. That was just to map out the story a little. Now I just need to sit down and write it.
The endless Land Comm commitments that never stop because I can't say no to Land Comms? A few will go on hold next tri since that's the part of the year that's during NaNo and I don't like much getting in the way of NaNo. It's the one commitment I told myself I would do EVERY YEAR without fail and I don't want to have games and drabbles taking up the one month I like to concentrate on original writing. But I am thinking about dropping some of them again. Maybe not picking them back up after this tri. Some aren't as fun as they've been before or changed hands or people have left or I'm just not connecting with anyone. I'm doing them to meet people, to be honest. I'm getting tired of being lonely and the only person who can change that is me but I can't do that if I don't have/make/take part in the opportunities! So I'll find places that don't bog me down quite as much or where I can still have fun! I've made some AWESOME friends in these places and I like that they're expanding me, both fandom-wise and creativity-wise.
I just put the dog out and smelled smoke! Uh oh! That storm that just rolled on past had some THUNDER with it. That can't be good. We haven't had enough rain so far with this storm to compensate for the dry brush. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if anything came of it. Hope my dad gets some sleep and doesn't get too rained on while out on fire calls (which I'm sure he will be).
Have I mentioned one of my little neices (I will call her B) who called thunder, FLOUNDER? It's more like FLUNDER but it's just so darn cute. So we call it Flunder and Lightning. Just a tid-bit from the funny, funny kids I get to hang out with on a weekly basis.
And now I am for bed. I'm tired and I want to listen to raindrops for awhile.
