writing and babylon 5

Still editing paper. Still thinking the organization kind of sucks. Trying to come up with as many guitar-related terms as I can to slip into the narrative. I love what I'm learning in this class, but it's tiring nonetheless.

Watched a bit more Babylon 5 last night (only 4 more episodes to go in Season 1!) and finally figured out what irritates me about Sinclair (that man over-acts as though his life depended on getting as much emotion as possible into every damned line). But I still have to admit that I'll be sad to see him go - he's endearing, in his overly-heroic, overly-goody-two-shoes sort of way. It seems that every time Psi-Corps shows up I recognize one of the actors (this time it was Jeffrey Combs, well-known to DS9 fans as Weyoun), and, oh yes, Linear is absolutely adorable. I just want to fuzzle him. Except there's nothing to fuzzle. So I guess I'll have to settle with giving him a cookie. Or a motorcycle. o_O Is it just me, or does he have masculinity issues? He was awfully excited about the whole "symbol of masculine sexuality" thing. And how did a guy who appears to be just barely out of the Minbari equivalent of teenage years get to be attache to an important ambassador, let alone a member of this Grey Council thing that it appears Delenn really is.

...Don't answer that. I'm still trying not to be spoiled on anything except what I picked up years ago!

I'm still convinced that there was some kind of weird zeitgeist/psychic plagiarism thing going on between JMS and Berman/Piller. The similarities between DS9 and Bab-5 continue to boggle me. I'm flat-out convinced that Sinclair will turn out to be some kind of weird religious figure. Because, come on, the Minbari clearly wanted him around for the same reason the Prophets wanted Sisko; he's got that "ohmigod holy hero" thing written all over him.

And miss_arel has been watching Scrubs, which reminds me how very much I adore that show. ♥

correction on fic

So, I'm kind of glad that I sometimes feel the need to look back over old fic-posts... because sometimes I discover some kind of insane mistake that no one pointed out to me. Seriously, please tell me if you ever see something in one of my fics that needs fixing - consider this carte blanche for any of you to slam me with the con-crit. I need it sometimes. Probably a lot of the time.

And so, because it'll bother me until I re-post this properly... #4 from the Music Fic thing a while ago, which somehow got cut off in the middle of a sentence only half-way through. :P

4. La Vie Boheme - RENT
To going against the grain,
Going insane, going mad -
To loving tension, no pension...
