back!

[rogin]

Just thought I'd write a little something so that this journal doesn't look too dead, even though I didn't have much time for fannish stuff due to the move, new work etc.

So far I was lucky with almost everything. The research work is absolutely cool and the whole town here virtually consists of university and knowledge. And I took some pretty nice walks into the woods so far. Also I can hook myself into the neighbors wireless for only a few Euros, instead of getting my own net, which might have turned out quite complicated. During the week I was pretty busy in the lab so I had no time to miss my friends. Weekend is a different story, but this way I had time to catch up with all the stuff I like.
I also made another LJ, for my family and RL-friends, to show off some pictures. It's in german, but if anyone 's interested I can give you the link.

So Buffy #15: I don't know, somehow I expected more background for the japanese vamps. But while the main plot didn't really make me bounce, the Xacula thing was really nice. And I loved Dracula's little speech. "It's the old man you need to worry about." That was made of cool! It's a pity that he'll probably wont show up anymore now that the arc is over.

I think, they tried to use a brilliant old Buffy concept in this arc. The combine-fun-with-tragedy-thing, like in "lover's walk", only in the comic it didn't really work for me. Probably because I never cared enough about Renee, to find her death very moving. It was just too early, to be really dramatic.

But as fun goes, it was quite an ok arc and Dracula was an absolute asset. I'm pretty excited about the next arc too. There are all those gorgeous Jo Chen covers to drool over and I liked Fray a lot. Poor Dawn though, they don't seem to have any mercy with her and will keep her in crack!fic-world as it looks like.

Doctor Who: Bah, Silence in the Library was soooo great. Moffat is great. Unfortunately I once read an interview with him, where he sounded pretty much like a total misogynist jerk, but his Who episodes are simply the best. It's great news, that he'll take over the show.

And I finally got to watch on Supernatural. I just started Season 3 and I'll admit I start to get where the hype is coming from. It really is a creepy good, funny, intense show. Love the boys, the optics, the sound, the jokes. It's still missing cool female characters though. I guess, that's what keeps me from really falling for the show.

Woohoo! You're back! Missed you so honey!!
I'm really glad everything is working out so well!! *hugs you*

Buffy issue 15 was ok I suppose. I'm a bit disappointed that Satsu is staying behind, I really liked her. And Renee dying... it was sad but what annoys me the most is that the two new slayers we're actually starting to know are gone... and yeah poor Dawnie... she can't get a break!

The last two Doctor Who episodes where amazing! River is great and mysterious and I can't wait for her to appear again. But Donna is my favorite. Always!!

Mmm, I loved the 3rd SPN season, the other two were ok, but the third was briliant! There's one very cool female character, but I don't want to spoil you in case you haven't seen the episode yet.

It's good to have you back honey! :D

xoxoxo

yay! *hugs you back* It's so nice to read from you again!

yes, that's very true, I was just starting to like those two and now they're gone. They had to little panel-time to develop properly.

But Donna is my favorite. Always!!
Yeah I agree on everything. River was a great character, but Donna is my favorite companion so far. This is awesome, because I wasn't all that hot for her after her X-mas special, but now I adore her. I love how she stands up to the Doctor. I hope she'll get another season. *icon love*

I'm very glad you think so, because this means I have something to look forward to. I like the demon girl with the knife, but after the last blond demon girl was rather disappointing, I didn't want to get my hopes up to early (I've seen two episodes so far).

*kisses*

A comics store gave me all the Buffy-related comics and I really need to get caught up. But I'm on an Iron Man kick now, embarrassingly enough.

I'm also behind on Who -- I have the next to last ep, unwatched, and need to get this last one. I'm out of step with everything, OMG!

Glad to hear you're loving the new town. It sounds fabulous. :D

Did you get "Angel - After the Fall" too? Imho it's made of brilliant, I can't help it, I like it better than Joss own comics.

But I'm on an Iron Man kick now, embarrassingly enough.
I saw Iron man two weeks ago and loved it to pieces. I hope it's getting a sequel.

On the plus side you've got something to look forward to, the two-part episode is a real treat.

Glad to hear you're loving the new town.
Thank you! :)

Squeeee!

Ignore my first comment!

Right there with you on Buffy #15. And I am still in major squee mode over Doctor Who!

(Suddenly realised you'd not seen the latest one. Sorry about the spoilery icon. *slinks off*)

Also it's good to hear that RL is treating you well! :)

No worries, I already saw both parts, I just didn't remember the name of the second one. Love the icon (the one with the snipping)! The two part episode was soooo squeeworthy.

Also it's good to hear that RL is treating you well! :)
Thank you :) I'm glad you stopped by!
