Down2theBone; The Mother; latest BSG; writing

omfg, I'm in heaven! I got Daniel Craig in The Mother from a local library (for FREE!) and my local mom&pop video store ALSO had Hugh Dillon in Down To The Bone! I've had The Mother for a few days and watched it three times.

I've seen Down To The Bone on the "big screen" (OK, it was a small film center screen, but way bigger than the biggest big screen TV I've ever seen!), but I'm so happy & excited to have rented it. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I'm going to after I post this. Hugh Dillon! Showing us his tattooed shoulders while in bed with Vera Farmiga (who was really good in The Departed, too). Damn, I just had sex with my bf last night (it's his birthday), but I am hot for Hugh's sexy, stoned performance. I don't even know if there are special features on the DVD, I just saw it & grabbed it because it was in! (Last week, they had the case, but the movie was out!)

OK, I see why some people said "The Mother" was absorbing & disturbing. But, whoa, Daniel Craig. Until his character turns out to be kind of a jerk in one of the last scenes with him & the widowed mom, he's panty-twisting hot in the sex scenes! In the first sex scene between him & the widow: "Do you want to touch me?" he says quietly. "Yes," she replies, and asks, "Do you want to touch me?" "If you'll let me," he says softly. Squeeee! First they're in bed and you can't see anything because they're both under the covers, but he's obviously using his hand on her and bringing her off, which is frakkin' hot. Later in another scene he talks her through a mind-blowing orgasm while doing her from behind, whispering, "Come on, come on, that's it, that's it, come on, there you go, there you go..." Frak! Super-squee!... It's just thigh-clenchingly good. ( Read more... )

And as Charlie Brown used to say, AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH! WHAT were those bastards at SciFi thinking when they left this mid-season cliffhanger going on BSG!?! I wanna kill 'em! Jesus. As if the whole outta-left-field Starbuck & Lee cheating thing wasn't a total freakout, now the Cylons are as close to finding Earth as the humans, and Admiral Adama is about to nuke the temple with the Eye of Jupiter Earth info (and his best pilot and his son!) just so the Cylons won't get it!? And I don't get the second "To Be Continued" part UNTIL JANUARY 21ST?!?!

I got a nice email the other day from someone who just discovered my Fraser/Kowalski BDSM story series via the first story & wanted the links to the rest of them. That got me reading them again. While sometimes I re-read my stories only to find quite cringe-worthy stuff in them, sometimes part of my mind does sit back more objectively and go, Hey, this is pretty good or (much less objectively) This is frakkin' hot! Was I on a roll here! I think I feel about equal parts cringe-worthiness and hey, this is hot with the whole series. But re-reading got me thinking, thinking got me ruminating and plotting, and ruminating and plotting has gotten me a bit farther along the road to a story to finally resolve Fraser's problems with being dominant, at least as resolved as they ever could be with Fraser being Fraser. I had a device (literally & figuratively, as in "plot device") in mind before, but I have a bit more of a skeleton to hang the story, conflict & resolution on now. I think. ( Read more... )

Sometimes I have to think about a story and the characters for a long time -- weeks or months -- before it starts to come together in my mind enough to compel me to sit down & write.

And I still want to write the Joe Dick/Jerry Bines (HCL/FTWHTWD xover) I've had in mind all this time. Maybe, just maybe, I'll get to that. Sigh.
