Ultimate Life Goal

In the future, if I ever manage to make enough money off of comics, writing and web development, I plan on selling my house, buying a motorhome and living in Wal-Mart parking lots across North America. Cuz why stay in one place when you can spend your life travelling?

I’ve got this all planned – motorhomes are super cheap when compared to houses in Regina (and, surely, houses everywhere) and undoubtedly there’s some sorta rack thing I can put on the back so that I can have a motorcycle for exploring cities. AND, in the futures, there will presumably be either really awesome satellite internet or cell phone data plans will be affordable. Cuz I’d need two phones (or two sim cards) if I’m just going to wander throughout Canada and the US. The only problem I haven’t solved is where I can ship stuff off of Amazon to. But, then again, I can’t have a lot of stuff in a motorhome and I don’t want to weigh it down either – a tank of gas on those things must be ridiculous.

I’d do the same thing in Europe, but it’s slightly more difficult in that I dooon’t think they let Canadians just drift about aimlessly country to country.

Aaand I just realised that this is actually a fairly odd life plan. My friends, when talking about the future, are all husband, house, kids, mortgage, pets. Me? I assume that my mortgage is paid off, that I don’t have any sort of SO and certainly never any kids. Pets, though, pets I’ll have. But not in my motorhome. That’d be cruel.

Sanctuary: Normandy

Does Robin Dunne have some sorta clause in his contract that says that he gets to be in every episode of Sanctuary or something?

Cut for spoilers. Not that the cuts work in the RSS feed, so, uhhh, suckers?

Things I Can’t Wait to See in Classic Who

Not that I’m entirely certain that some of these things even happened. It is, after all, a list compiled from clips I’ve seen on YouTube, conversations with friends and stuff referred to in fanfic. In no particular order, of course.

  • Sarah Jane’s stuffed owl. All I know is that it was in the scene where Four and Sarah parted ways and it was absolutely adorable and I absolutely want one.
  • Romana. Particularly, Romana I. Blame Darcy for that one.
  • Jamie and his kilt.
  • The Master’s inflatable chair of death and his strangling of the Doctor with a telephone cord. YouTube and Darcy again.
  • Liz Shaw. Fanfic, actually. I’ve read a lot of fic with her in it. I should stop reading Sarah Jane fic when I haven’t seen a lot of Classic Who – so many references keep flying over my head.
  • Jo Grant. Cuz she’s awesome on SJA.
  • K-9!
  • The companion who’s name currently escapes me (dammit!) who apparently has a girlfriend on every planet. Darcy is at fault for this one, of course. She either always knows exactly what will interest me or our tastes are very similar.
  • Ace. Who apparently has explosives? I like explosives.
  • The penguin companion. Holy shit, a penguin is a companion.

Pretty much everything on this list is Darcy’s fault. Even if she wasn’t listed at fault, I’m still blaming her.

River Song Rewatch

So now that I’ve seen Day of the Moon, I think I’m going to watch all of the episodes with River from the perspective of her timeline, not the Doctor’s. Cuz clearly I want to spend my weekend in tears.

Actually, I’m not sure how far I’ll make it before depressing myself so much that I run away. I primarily read/watch happy things for a reason, dammit!

I’m not sure why I’m making this a blog/LJ entry… it should be a doodle comic, hmmm. Or I should make a doodle comic of it after I finish the rewatch.

Unwatched TV

Okay, I have a really bad tendency to acquire tv and then either A) never watch it or B) watch about half of it before getting distracted by another show. So this is my summer plan: watch the damned tv you haven’t seen yet and stop picking up new shows every other day.

THE LIST

  • Being Human (I’m about halfway through series two.)
  • The Big Bang Theory (Only a couple of episodes behind.)
  • The Closer (I watched season one out of boredom last summer. Not really my thing, but then I learned that Mary McDonnell is in it later on and I was all fuck it I’m going to watch the next five seasons for Mary. Cuz Mary is wonderful.)
  • Doctor Who (I’ve seen An Unearthly Child, season 12, the first serial of season 13, the movie and all of New Who. I need to watch everything else. Cuz Classic Who is wonderful.)
  • The Dresden Files (I’ve been watching this on and off for about two years now. Self, there are twelve episodes of the entire show – it should not take you this long.)
  • Fringe (I, uh, haven’t seen the last six episodes. Bad fan, I know.)
  • The Guard (It has Ryan Robbins and Zoie Palmer!! In a sorta relationship idk I’m only a couple episodes in.)
  • Hercules (Doesn’t have enough Lucy Lawless or Renee O’Connor to hold my attention, really. I think I’ll just skip to the crossover episodes and the cracky shit like how Kevin Sorbo is apparently really Hercules?)
  • Jekyll (I really will watch this, Darcy, I swear! It has Gina Bellman and you know that I love Sophie so, yes, it will be watched.)
  • Legend of the Seeker (Haven’t started. Downloaded cuz of the crazy fan campaign.)
  • MacGyver (What? It has RDA! With a mullet, but he’s still hot.)
  • Merlin (Halfway through series two. Still.)
  • NCIS (I watched seasons 1-7 (well, half of seven) in a little over a month in November/December. I’m currently in the beginning of season eight.)
  • The Outer Limits (Torrent quality is utter shit – I think I’ll just wait until I have the money to buy the DVDs.)
  • Primeval (Couple episodes into series one.)
  • Sherlock (Ummm… I still haven’t watched the last episode?)
  • Spartacus (I’m partway into Blood and Sand, but mostly I wanna watch Gods of the Arena cuz it has Jaime Murray.)
  • Star Trek (All of it. Except for Voyager, which I have already seen. Actually, put Voyager back on the list – I haven’t seen that in, like, five years.)
  • Taken (I don’t even know what this is about or why I downloaded it.)
  • Torchwood (Partway into series one. It’s not that exciting since I watched Doctor Who first and, consequently, got spoiled for some of Torchwood. Also, Owen pisses me off like whoa.)
  • V (The second miniseries and then the show from the 80′s.)
  • The Walking Dead (I’m not a zombie fan, at all (the science is too bad even for me – don’t even get me started) but everyone I know freaked out over the pilot so I downloaded it… and then never watched.)
  • Women’s Murder Club (Watched the pilot. Too much discussions on men and relationships and not enough about the dead fucking body in front of you. But pilots suck so I’ll keep watching.)

So! Which should I watch first?
