Reads Randomly

As promised, here is a continuation of  Friday’s post.  Let’s get the Avatar stuff out of the way first, shall we?  I wrote down my reaction as I was watching the episoded.  So, this is sort of delayed livebloging.  Feel free to skip over if you never heard of the show…

Fanfic

Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy with real life.  Maybe it’s because school has been taking up all of my mental capacity.  But whatever the reason, I’m having trouble finishing fanfic. I have four up in the air right now, but I just can’t seem to finish a thing.  It’s not like I don’t know what to say.  It’s like I’ve even forgotten how.  I think my muse is asleep… or in a comma. And I still have a five page paper to finish by Wednesday and two books to read by next week.  Sigh.  Stupid real life.

Baseball

I went to a National game last Tuesday.  I’m so not a sports fan (other than Sports Night, of course), but I’m really enjoy going to the game.  This was the second time I’ve ever gone.  And it’s the last time I will go at RFK stadium.  I’m glad I got a chance to go before the Nats move to the new stadium.

What made this game interesting, from a West Wing fan perspective, was that the Nationals were playing the Mets.  Now it is my own personal opinion that Josh would be delighted when baseball came back to DC and that he and Charlie would go to games together.  So when the Nationals and Mets play against each other would he be torn?  Or would he and Charlie trade insults?  Dammit.  There’s a fic idea in there somewhere, I know it!

Tim Gunn

Have you guys seen the new Tim Gunn/Martha Stewart commercial?  The Usher one was rather cute.  But Tim Gunn commercial was just divine.  Why can’t the show be more like that?!  He is just to adorable… which is strange to say about a grown man.  Oh well, I’m all about the Tim love.

Notes:  Umm... Yeah.  This isn't a West Wing fic.  All I can say is that I had to wait TWO weeks for the season finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender.  (Yes, I know that I'm too old for this show.  Yes, I am well aware it's on Nickelodeon.  What can I say?  I'm hooked.)  After some serious cliffhangers and a really interesting promo, I couldn't help but speculate... and apparently my speculations now take form as fic.   If you'd like to find out more about the show, Wikipedia can fill you in.  And if you're REALLY interested, there are clips and full episodes (all out of order) over here... somewhere.  I'm pretty positive this will all be disproven tomorrow night, but I sure had fun writing it!  A very special thanks to edgeriffic for the speedy beta when I decided to post this at the last minute.
