HAHAHA! IT'S WAR!

[beccatoria]

There has been an Escalation of Hostilities in the ongoing war between My Father and The Pub Across the Road.

They are now trying to poison us!

The manager in a suit just happened to pick our house at random to offer a free meal for four people in aid of new staff training. Interesting since they've been refurbishing not recruiting... And you know, since it was the manager. In a suit. AT RANDOM. I'm kinda disappointed my dad wasn't home at the time. Someone mighta got PUNCHED or sumthin'.

Clearly they want my dad to stop riling the locals into a pitch-fork wielding flame-carrying mob. I think he is disinclined to acquiesce to their request.

In Other News, if Nothing Goes Wrong, I have a JOB. Teaching very small south korean children how to speak English. Starting on August 4th, so I suppose I'll be leaving sometime in the preceeding week. I am, to be frank, rather scared, but more scared of what will happen to me if I don't go just because I'm scared. I also find it rather pathetic that one of my major concerns is: how long will it be before I can get an internet connection in our apartment. You know, that and, OMGWTFBBQ SMALL CHILDREN LEARNING THINGS FROM ME?

On the plus side, it's a casual dress code that explicitly allows jeans!

Also the documents we have to send include information about how Kev changed his surname and stuff, so we're hoping they don't find that horribly weird or anything. Especially since there's no real nice-and-tidy way of explaining why.

In Exciting News, I also met heyiya briefly and she was awesome! There was much discussion of BSG and vidding and things and I had a fantabulous summer fruits smoothie thingy, and apparently I ought to watch the rest of Angel because in season five I will fall in love with Wesley much the way I accidentally fell in love with Tigh. I admit I am still skeptical but this is not the first time I've been told that season five makes up for seasons three and four (not that I watched four). So I'm opening the floor to debate:

Angel: To Watch, or Not?

Finally, In Vidding News, I tried to get on with writing some more of that BSG story, but my head kept making a vid instead (this is what happens when I have like...nine weeks with nothing at all to do, seriously people, co-opt me, I have FREE TIME for the first time in what seems like years. Ideas on how to keep me entertained are welcome. beccatoria need YOU!). But anyway the point is, the plot of Myth is continuing to unfold in my head, but at the moment a vid has eaten my brain. Fortunately it's short and I'm mostly done with it. Now I just have to find a beta... (beccatoria needs YOU!)

And, that's about it really. I've spent most of this week in an extremely sleep-deprived scramble of finalising South Korea details and going on long coach rides to obscure government offices, and forgetting to take pictures to show everyone the library I'm going to move into if there's ever a Zombie Apocalypse, and being horribly anti-social and vid-obsessed in between...

Just figured I'd let everyone know how it was going!

Hello again! I'm glad that I wasn't intruding on the post. It's very nice to meet you. I am such a huge fan of the vids that you and Julie made. There is still one to go, right? If not, I have to hunt it down!

I also loved your "Tricks" video! I'm passing it along to a fellow BSG fan who liked the vid about Hera and her mommy family (which I also loved!).

If you want some recaps from a Buffy fan who also likes Angel (Again, I heart season five, but I also like about 75% of season 4), I'd be happy to oblige! Although I didn't actually watch 100% of season 3; I was impatient to get to season 5... NOT ONLY because of Spike! (ahem.... er... eek, okay, the truth is obvious!).

(I will continue in parentheses, lol. I did absolutely LOVE season 5, honestly not only because of Spike's presence. By the way, and possibly tmi, Julie surprised me one day at a cafe by defining me as a fanboy, and I was delighted to find that she's right. I assumed that I was a fangirl by default. My intense tv crush on Spike was my only real super fangirl episode. [That's not to say that my inner fangirl won't come out again. Hm. Hey, do you think she's 'in the closet'?])

Okay, I'm out of the parentheses now. See, I too can be verbose. Do let me know if you'd like to discuss recaps of season 4. I do think you'd really enjoy the season 5 Cordelia episode "You're Welcome". To be honest, I always disliked Cordelia... though I warmed to her in season four a bit. However, I felt true fan love for her in this episode. (I watched it earlier this evening, actually!)

Okay, I'm going now, lol. I hope you have a good weekend.

*uses Spike icon because he did end up on Angel :p*

Yes, there's still Tomorrow -11 to go! Basically because it was the finale and we wanted to do a slighly longer vid for this one, we weren't too worried about getting it in "on schedule" and then real life intrudes, etc., etc., and the upshot is, we only started working on it this week. But it's nearly done! So it'll probably be up in the next few days! :D

Also thanks for the kind words about "Tricks" and I'm flattered you're going to pass it on to someone: I hope they enjoy it too! "Hera Has Six Mommies" is pretty much too awesome for words, right? It's just AMAZING.

I haven't actually started watching Angel yet - I also need to rewatch a lot of DS9 and some other things, but I think I will end up doing it eventually, like...later this year probably? Thanks for the offer, though. If I get too confused I may well take you up on it!

I was never a huge Spike fan, honestly, but I did like Cordelia, so if that's an episode that even a non-Cordelia-fan liked, that speaks well of it.

And don't worry, Julie thinks I'm a fanboy too! (I think it has something to do with the whole being obsessed with Star Wars and playing Dungeons & Dragons and such things!) So I understand that one!

*uses only vaguely Jossverse related icon again!*
