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.

Date: 2006-06-14 10:36 am (UTC)From:As for fandoms... well, if you want TV, I'd recommend Farscape, Life on Mars, Doctor Who - in exactly that order. Farscape's the show that bowled me over and moved my world, Life on Mars is the recent discovery I'm still quite passionate about, and has a nice, cozy little fandom, and Doctor Who, well, need I explain Doctor Who? ;-)

And one thing you'll see is that LJ does help keep people in touch, even if not everyone can reply to everything. I have friends on here from back in the day of FK fandom, but we're not really in the same fandom any more. And yet, we still try to hook each other into our new series and chat about anything and everything. Which is why I'm so glad that you've got your LJ and we're back in touch!

Date: 2006-06-14 01:16 pm (UTC)From: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:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lifeonmars/
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:
http://community.livejournal.com/lifein1973/
And the main discussion board:

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