King of the Office

1) If you have not seen these adorable pictures of David Tennant and Freema Agyeman you really need to. If you have already seen them, maybe you want to look again (especially at the shot where he is totally staring down her dress). He looks disheveled and she looks gorgeous and they are both so expressive and interactive. It's really rekindling my Martha love and making me want to write sappy fluffy Martha/Ten. Also it makes me want to be Freema because she is so radiant and gorgeous. Basically squee.

2)And then just when I thought that nothing could make be feel more bubbly and happy than those pics: Joss is coming back to Television and it's with Eliza Dushku! There are obviously concerns about the fact that it is Fox (which as [livejournal.com profile] sophia_helix pointed out it means it is sort of like watching someone you care about get back together with their crazy ex again). But they do seem reformed somewhat (like the whole not having canceled Bones thing) and they've committed to 7 episodes, not just a pilot. Mainly it is Joss Whedon making a show with Eliza Dushku and I cannot see any possible way that could not be for the win.

3) Also yesterday I went to a class on preparing Grant Proposal Budgets and Budget Justifications and for the first time I could see a part of my job as sort of like constructing an essay, what with the gathering evidence and such. It was so refreshing and made me actually want to do something for work.

4)Overall this is putting me in such a good mood that I am offering drabble/ficlets to everyone. Please put in requests while the cheerful outlook stays with me. Any canon I am familiar with, any pairing or genfic.

The thing I forgot to tell you about the National Television Awards video is that, despite his hilariously animated looks, David is actually just doing a standard list of thank-yous. He is simply incapable of standing still. ♥

HAHA. If I wrote RPF I would write about his inability to stand still. and possibly it would end in someone figuring out how to keep him from bouncing off the walls (sex and drugs baby!)

[identity profile] sophia-helix.livejournal.com 2007-11-01 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Can I fictionally ask you for a David/Freema ficlet, since you don't write RPF?

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-01 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You could ask me for it and I could pretend that I wasn't going to write it and then just give you an example of how I would write it if I was going to write it. Which would be writing it but not?

[identity profile] sophia-helix.livejournal.com 2007-11-01 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, genius.

Fine, write me a story about Faith and her rocking out to music like in that one episode, because I forgot my iPod headphones and am very sad about this. Points for slayage with headphones, especially if Buffy is horrified, especially if Buffy's own musical taste is awful.

Also if you want to tell me about the David/Freema ficlet you're not writing, that is fine. Also Darryl/Kelly.

If I was Writing David/Freema RPF It Would Look Like This (http://lodessa.livejournal.com/150616.html)

I was so happy! Just yesterday I was IM-ing with a friend about our need for new Joss on TV, and voila!

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-01 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously. This is like a regular facet of conversation for me. And it is with Eliza Dushku, who is 99.9% of the reason I can think that I might possibly be able to be a little gay if only for her. Because I have the biggest crush on her.

because I am shameless and can never pass up free fic

[identity profile] redcandle17.livejournal.com 2007-11-01 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
ASoIaF, Jaime/Lysa AU fic

[identity profile] silver-fic.livejournal.com 2007-11-01 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
About points 1 and 2, I couldn't flail more if I tried, that is just fabulous ^___^

If you are still taking requests for ficlets, I would love a DW one, maybe something about Ten and Donna?

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-01 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Boyfriend just texted me ask for the day was going and I was like: AWESOME because Joss and Eliza are making a new show.

I still haven't seen the Christmas thing so I can't write that request but feel free to ask for another (I know I still owe you Ten/Rose fluff but I am having a Martha sort of day so it will have to wait)

Anyways so excited.

[identity profile] silver-fic.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Okay cool, and you should see the Donna special, it was much with the awesome. I absolutely adore her, and no one else has seen it, is sad.

Um, hmmm...... How about fluff, about Martha finally calling the cellphone?

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean to I just haven't gotten around to it.


I could definitely write that.

[identity profile] silver-fic.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
YEah, I know how that is. I was planing on having friends over for the weekend oof Thanksgiving and have a Dr. Who marathon, but due to travel time we won't have enough time to do everything, so I am thinking we will watch all of season 3 and then do 1 and 2 the next time we hang out. Christmas Bride all the way through to Last Of The Time Lords.

Yay ^___^

If only people would stop trying to get me to do work at work and let me writemy fics in peace.

[identity profile] silver-fic.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww, I am sorry, mean people ^__^

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess I ought to expect as much, but they are like annoying little mosquitos.

[identity profile] silver-fic.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, well, it is work, they kind of do expect you to work ^__^

Wouldn't it be great if people just paid you to watch Bones and Dr. Who, and right stories ^__^ Though I guess if you were paid to write them they might become a chore and then you might lose your inspiration

People should just pay me for existing. And for reorganizing my books, dvds, cds, clothes, etc compulsively.

[identity profile] silver-fic.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, being paid for existing would be kind of great. My books are actually organized for once, though that sort of doesn't count the ones that are still in boxes, you know, if someone were willing to give me money, I might actually finish unpacking sometimes this year ^__^

At the moment I am looking for income, and I have filled out a bunch of applications, and I am seriously hoping to hear back from one of them, but right now hearing back from any of them would be great.

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Looking for a job is the worst.

Which is why I won't leave here even though I am fairly unhappy with it.

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not horrible, just not great.

[identity profile] silver-fic.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
WEll, I am glad it's not horrible at least. Wish it was more great though.

You were the person I thought of when I saw the news on TV Guide this morning!

Anyway, what do you think of the premise? It sounds a little Aliasy and a lot Dark Angely.

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It is seriously the first show I've ever been excited about BEFORE it started.

It is a premise I wouldn't be into if it wasn't being done by Joss and Eliza but I think will work really well for them. It's a fucking brilliant idea for both getting Eliza out of the bad girl box and at the same time capitalizing on how hot and good at being badass she is. It will allow Joss to work with some of his favorite motifs (like gender issue, well meaning but evil big brother type organizations, emerging identity, etc.) and allow for some episodes to be really light and some to be really dark without seeming inconsistent.

I've still never really watched either of the shows you are referring to, but everyone seems to feel that it is similar to them. My first thought, of course was the Matrix, but more so Neuromancer, which is the founding novel of the cyberpunk genre and the Matrix borrowed heavily from. The main female character in it is sort of this badass assassin/bodyguard/whatever, but she got the money for all the surgery to upgrade her body so she could do this by being in a "meat house" which is totally what Dollhouse sounds like, they load you with whatever program, you service the customer, and then you wake up and don't remember it, and the same thing happened to her where she started remembering.

Okay, here's my idea: from Bones, a fluffy moment between Angela and her dad.

[identity profile] lodessa.livejournal.com 2007-11-02 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a fantastic idea. I will get working on it right away.
