A Procrastination List

[ithildin]

I'm supposed to call an endontist per my new dentist to see why I've had pain in one tooth for three years. But I just keep looking at the referral note.

I've hit a wall on my fic. I know where it ends up, but can't seem to get there.

My blog continues to languish even though I received a lovely write up as one of the 'Blogosphere's very best of the distaff persuasion'. I just can't seem to write current events 'non fiction' types of things when I'm writing fiction. My brain seems to work on an either or sort of setting .

Can't seem to find a new fandom to rival my old ones. Is it they just don't make shows like they used to, or is it that I'm getting old and am in a rut? Or is it the people? Sometimes I think that may be it. I think enjoyment of a fandom is as much fellow fans that touch you as it is the show itself. I know, I know, when I started we banged rocks together and walked five miles in the snow :)

Don't mind me, I'm just feeling maudlin tonight.

Hehe. A friend of mine is trying to get me hooked on Supernatural, too! The same friend, incidentally, who got me hooked on LoM in March. *g*

Life on Mars is, well, I like to describe it as 'Farscape as a 1970s British cop show'. I.e. there is the fish-out-of-water element (even the opening narration has a certain similarity to FS's!), there is angst and insanity - but the hero, instead of being lost in space, is lost in time. He's a police detective from 2006 Manchester who's suddenly transported back to 1973 where, mystifyingly, he has a job, a flat and an identity. Or perhaps he's just mad. ;-)

Here's the BBC's website for it:

It's about to come to the U.S., too - in a week or two, I think, to BBC America.

Here's the LJ community for it:

And the main discussion board:

At the moment, it's a nice, small fandom, but it's growing. :)

Okay, that sounds seriously odd :) I'll have to check my BBCA listings.

Oooh, looks interesting! I'll have to see if I can track it down someplace--since I don't get BBC America, sadly.
