ff: number the days that are left (sawyer, kate)  
title: number the days that are left
characters: sawyer, kate; past sawyer/kate, implied past sawyer/juliet
word count: 758
summary: she’s never known what to say, and that’s the blank unfairness of it all
notes: i dislike this pairing with an intensity that remains unrivaled. i make no attempt to be nice to them. i do, however, try to be fair. much thanks to [info]angela_weber  for her thumbs up and once-over, without which this probably would have remained hidden in fear on my harddrive.

lost ff: another time has other lives to live  

title: another time has other lives to live
characters: sawyer; sawyer/juliet
word count: 876
summary: it’s always the same: oh, thank you and then nothing but platitudes.
notes: post the incident, because that's one thing the world needs more of, right? big thanks to the ultra talented [info]angela_weber for the beta and for assuring me this didn't seem like I was on crack, which is always nice to hear. title taken from auden's another time. comments would be lovely.

lost ff: its cry raves into the valley (juliet. s/j)  
title: its cry raves into the valley
characters: juliet; sawyer/juliet
word count: 1131
summary: her tears have a language
notes: set somewhere in that notorious time jump. this is a challenge taken from a random sentence at the random sentence generator. the sentence is the title. i recommend using a random sentence as a challenge to anyone that writes, it can turn out some interesting ideas (and funky sentences). i wrote this very hastily last night. perhaps i shouldn't admit to that. too bad, it's out there.

comments, as always, are sincerely appreciated.

lost ff: coloring your lost and found to make it bright (sawyer/juliet)  
title: coloring your lost and found to make it bright
disclaimer: not mine
summary: lots of sentences
notes: prompts taken from [info]1sentence . this will get me up to a nice round number so it'll be the last. i break so many grammar rules with the run ons in this that i'm sure my 11th grade english teacher is crying somewhere. forgive me. thanks to everyone who's commented on this, you are such gems, it means a lot to me.

summary: 30 more sentences over 3 years
notes: title taken from auden's o tell me the truth about love and prompts taken from [info]1sentence.  the first batch can be found here. i am truly addicted to writing them, it is sad and pathetic but fun and perfect for someone with little creativity and commitment issues like myself. any and all comments would be, by me, appreciated

lost ff: i was lost but your fool (sawyer/juliet)  
title: i was lost but your fool
pairing: sawyer/juliet
word count: 1,799
summary: 30 sentences over 3 years
notes: prompts stolen from [info]1sentence, although i'm not officially doing the challenge. minor references to "the incident," but otherwise my general policy of "fuck that shit" still applies. this was very fun to write, comments would make me smile.

( your love will be safe with me )

ff: nothing like you and i  

title: nothing like you and i
pairing: josh/donna
word count: 654
disclaimer: as my mother has been informing me recently, i own pretty much nothing.
notes: okay, I could not possibly write a full fic right now because its been like, a million years and i have no ideas. BUT, I desperately wanted to write and these guys are really the only ones I feel fully comfortable with, they are like a wonderful old sweatshirt or something, I just love them. recently [info]foreverdreaming  and i were talking about the merits of  very short fics, so I decided to give it a go. and also, I just wrote it in the last hour. it if reads that way, that's why.

and ugh, the formatting is like, nine kinds of eff'ed up. i hate it. the prompt is from [info]1sentence , and I'm not officially doing the challenge (read:lazy, commitment issues), but this was fun anyway. maybe I'll do more.

comments are like plot twists on lost, they make it all worthwhile!

my list rotates like songs on my itunes  
My brother was watching The Presidents and my professor from last fall was on it! I was like, SAY WHAT!?! He was so awesome I missed The Office to go to his class. It was pretty weird seeing him on tv though, I'll be honest.

I'm a really geeky mood. Blame The History Channel. I'm insanely kinda curious, who are people's favorite presidents? Is that only something that geeky people like me have, or do others have guys they love? Out of the 42 we've had? Somebody you like to draw hearts around? Besides Bartlet.

It could just be that I'm a massive dork, which I already knew. But whatevs.

you been getting any lately?  

Okay, this I love. I had to share. Stewart's gaff is my favorite. 

You know they've been making hillarious goofs since someone first put a camera in someone's face, but since they didn't have dvds and television specials I've honestly never seen any of these guys mess up their lines and dissolve into laughter. It made me very happy.

I like how Jimmy Stewart worked for MGM yet seemed to be contracted out for everything, since this is a Warner reel.

Being and Becoming  
I wasn't going to do this tonight, but my friend's plane is delayed three hours out of Dulles and won't be here till 1am (and I have to get up at 7) and I'm bored.

Speaking of celebrities, I have for you a gigantic black and white picspam of all your favorite dead actors. Or, really, my favorite dead actors (and hey, two are still alive). This is my ultimate classic movie picspam. I was feeling nostalgic, and some chick at work was giving me a hard time for knowing Fred and Ginger made 10 films, so screw that. Classic movies are awesome.

This picspam focuses on the people, not the movies, and not my lame attempt at humor. I have very little commentary, because, really, what can you say? Its lots of actors - mostly women because they were the ones that did all the photoshoots (seriously, the guys have so few cool photos!). Its all from the early years, nothing from the 70's or 80's, only talented actors when they were young and beautiful and so was Hollywood. Alot of the photos I had never seen before before I found them for this picspam. Alot of them are really cool.

So, yeah. I enjoyed this labor of love.

FF: we'll find the message in the clouds  
Title: We'll Find the Message in the Clouds
Pairing: the often imitated, never replicated classic Jay and Dee
Rating: G
Category: Future
Disclaimer: Oh, if I only owned them, what wouldn't I make them do?
Notes: Spontaneous midnight posting. No cheesy Christmas title lyrics for this seasonal whimper of a fic. Its an Idina lyric again, that makes...I've lost count. This thing is proof that Ned and Chuck haven't totally taken over my brain, Josh and Donna are still rambling around in there somewhere. Tenses messed me up, point out glaring errors please.

Comment and let me know if you're still reading these things. :)

Its the pictures that got small  
I have a craving to watch some old movies. I don't really have the time, but that won't stop me. 

Problem is I've seen everything I have a couple times, and I don't feel like just picking something off the AFI list because alot of those aren't really my type of movies. 

So if anyone has any recommendations of really good (or even just moderatly okay) classic films, feel free to shout them out. Personal faves or whatev. Cause I don't feel like just turning on TCM and watching whatever is on.

I've also seen basically everything with Kate Hepburn and Cary Grant.

(although I think Kitty Foyle should sufice for the time being. I havent seen that in a while and it still in its plastic wrap)

ETA: The Heiress is apparently out on DVD. I'm so going to Borders tomorrow and buying it.
