We've got cabin fever, it's driving us insane...

[clo_again]

Ow. In conclusion; allergic to plasters (band-aids) or at least the type I have now. It looks like I've been bitten by a vampire. Possibly a vampire I was allergic to. Ouch.

Word count: Do. Not. Ask. Or I keel you all.

BUT. I do need a favour, if anyone feels like helping me out and has both time to waste and a copy of American Gods. I need to find all the references to "hidden Indians", ie. the magic-eye pictures of say, a vase of flowers (I think that's what was in the book) which looked at another way becomes a picture of people or something else, in AG "hidden Indians". I'm using it as my metaphor for the introduction because I hatehatehate introductions that go "In this essay/dissertation/meta, I will be blah blah blah". Only I can find the last reference (with Shadow in Whiskey Jack's trailer looking at the waterfall) but not the initial conversation or mention that I know has to be in there somewhere. I've re-read most of the damned book and I can't find it and I really want the damn quote. Anyone have an idea?

Or better, if anyone has a searchable e-text of it that'd be awesome. Awesome *beyond words*.

Back Starting to write now. Sigh. It's so not going to be done by Thursday.

edit: Oh my god I think the woman in Sea of Souls also played Fuschia in Gormenghast. Which I watched just a few days ago. That's not going to distract me at all.

I don't know, maybe it's not. Hm. Still distracting.

edit: It is her. And Sea of Souls was much better with the two 'sidekicks' as the Radio Times site put it. I also kinda wish they hadn't made it so outwardly supernatural or marvellous as I should be saying, now I've read all this stuff on fantasy. It was more fun when it wasn't explicit over if there actually was something going bump in the night or not.

I love your icon, they were the only reason I kept watching Primeveal XD

[clo.livejournal.com]

Thank you. They were awesome and slashy weren't they? :D Douglas Henshall (Cutter) is in Sea of Souls tonight, which is the only reason I'm watching it.

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

They were SO awesome and slashy XD I picked up the viiiibesss.


And he is? I'm watching it now but I can't remember who cutter was!

[clo.livejournal.com]

They almost made slashing them too easy. It was so cute.

*points to icon* The one who wasn't Stephen. ;-) He's the in-the-past guy, with the dying wife. His appalling haircut disguises him pretty well though. I had to look twice, even watching out for him.

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

I've just spotted him too XD with me going LOOKIT ITS HIM!!

And they were so cute, there was one moment that really shouted at me but now I can't remember what it was!

[clo.livejournal.com]

*giggles* This is why I'm glad I'm not at home watching things like this with my family. They just get confused when I start yelling excitedly at the TV (which I do. It's fun.)

Hm. At one point Stephen told him he looked good in combat gear, which always made me squee. *resists rewatching it all instead of working...barely*

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

I think that was it! I can't say I paid much attention to the show as a whole though :/

(I yell when im alone..XD)

[clo.livejournal.com]

It was the best kind of slashy, the sort of thing couples would actually say. I had a pathetic love for it by the end, though it took me the whole six episodes to really get into it. Started weirdly slow.

(Sometimes TV just demands yelling. Doctor Who gets it a lot.)

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

Uhuh. Plus they had know each other for a while hadn't they? There's always room for past fun XD

(Doctor who does, Roger also gets my yelling especially nowadays! I swear the man is gonna give me an ulcer!!)

[clo.livejournal.com]

Yep, lovely backstory. Something like eight years of it. It's nice to get an 'established' couple to slash for once; it doesn't seem to happen that often.

(Tennis gets a loooot of yelling, though more Andy than Roger for me. The Wimbledon final last year made me hoarse. Makes me kind of glad I don't get tennis coverage in uni, because my flatmates would think I was crazy.)

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

No it doesn't! I find pairings like that often get better fic I dont know why. (I havent read any primeval stuff. I think I shall look..)

(I yell for andy too but Roger is my pet XD even though I STILL dont have my fedebear!! -heartbroken- but yes during that final I was yelling because hellooo 6-0 in the first set and then..ROGER. He got it back but still, was having mini panic attacks.)

[clo.livejournal.com]

I guess it makes people come up with more plots than just the 'first time' one (though I'll never get tired of that. ^_^) Plus it's easier to write the big, crazy fics when the couple is already half-there for you. (There's a little bit of stuff out there, though six episodes doesn't keep interest going for long. I have a few I liked in my memories.)

(Usually Roger is less stressful for me than Andy, because he wins easier. Woe for no Federbear! Everyone should have one for the cute. It was a horrible, stressful match. This year better not be that bad.)

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

I've just looked now and have found half of my torchwood buddehs on there XD and it's all these two. And there's so much I may go read for a while hah!!

(Stressful! Good lord I hope it isnt as I shall be there! Am quite convinced will be picked on by BBC as will be sitting shouting at roger with swiss flags :D hopefully!)

[scoobydumblonde.livejournal.com]

If I were to try to bribe you with Roger angst/het/slash/smut, would you be able to get it done? *ponders*

[clo.livejournal.com]

I don't think even that would work. *gloom* I've tried everything else, from DVDs to iced tea to internet. My lazy conquers all.

[scoobydumblonde.livejournal.com]

we'll find something. Because you have to get this done. How 'bout... well, I'd offer to write Doctor/Rose slash for you, but I'm not ever going to attempt to write them. ;-P How 'bout Doctor/Roger? *tries to think of a way to make that work*

[redfiona99.livejournal.com]

Yes she did. For she is the fantabulous Neve MacIntosh.

Possibility of it being better is high, on account of the male sidekick was played by Iain Robertson who is also fantastic.

I'm so glad Primeval has convinced someone else of the wonderfulness of Dougie Henshall even if I never got to see it.
