Amalthia's recs and fan works

Supernatural

Coast On Through by philalethia (Sam/Dean, futurefic) This was incredibly hot and dirty and I couldn't stop reading. :)

All's Fair in Love and War by smallcaps (Sam/Dean, Dean/Demons, dubcon) This was hot.

One Week by astartexx (SPN VID Rec) I loved the editing, song choice, and I had a blast watching.

And it shall come to pass by maygra I love all the stories in this series and this timestamp really worked for me.

Pop Secret by parenthetical (Sam/Dean) This was funny and cute. :)

Motel 6 by setissma (Sam/Dean) This was lovely.

Extremist Means by dreamlittleyo (Sam/Dean) This was eerie and kind of hot and I loved that Sam saved Dean. :)

Tanya Huff - Blood and Smoke series

Infamy by Unknown. (Tony/Lee) I really liked Tony's voice and really wished there were more because I loved the book series. :)

I had a wonderful xmas and well no internet for about 4 days so basically lots of cool stories were posted while I was gone including 2000 Yuletide fics so I look forward to catching up. :)

as for xmas gifts, I loved them all but right now my new Sony PRS-505 Reader tops the list, followed by my brother's gift the Burning Crusade Warcraft expansion set with strategy guide. However, I also liked the books and clothing I got from my parents, and my sister was very creative this year and got me a cd case with burned copies of Entourage and Medium. But the best gift of all was hanging out with my sister and two brothers for more than 1 hour at a time. We hadn't been completely together as a family in over a year. My dad was back from Iraq too and my baby neice was there. We played hours of Balderdash and omg my dad sucked at it but I swear his answers were the funniest. My mom made spagetti and well really that was the best meal I had while I was there because she had a lot of stuff to take care of for xmas day. We had I-Hop for dinner on xmas day and say Alien vs Predator because my husband I had work today and couldnt' stay in San Antonio too late. The side affect was we missed the ham my mom baked.

Also Alien vs Predator 2 SUCKED and I still can't believe people brought babies and small children to this movie. Um I also got to visit with my grandparents and saw National Treasure 2, it was a fun movie as long as you turn off your brain at the door. So all in all I had a wonderful xmas and I'm looking forward to the camping trip over new years weekend.

Just got back from seeing Stardust. I absolutely loved it! Really the 2 hours just flew right on by and I think this is easily one of my favorite movies of the year. (I haven't read the book yet...but I plan to)

Pirates of the Carribean

Guardian Angel by manic_intent (Jack/Norrington) This was a fun story, the beginning was much stronger than the ending though.

Supernatural

Penance by eloise_bright (Gen, pre-series) I loved Jim's character voice and I just wanted to hug Dean in this story.

Caveat Emptor by minkmix (Gen, pre-series) okay this story made me smile. I loved Dean's voice and the imagery was vivid and interesting. :)

Bone Moon and Blood Earth by notthequiettype (Sam/Dean) I loved the imagery and the quietness in the story.

When I Look At You (I’ve Got A Second Chance) by sinoftheday (Jared/Jensen, rps) I thought this was romantic and sweet.

Fairy Tale by winterlive (Jared/Jensen) I liked the premise and the sex. :)

Lost Vid Rec

Dare you to Move by pumpkin_heart. (Kate/Jack) okay I just loved the clip choices, song, the effects. everything flows very well together. and yeah it doesn't hurt that I like to ship Kate/Jack. :) if anyone has any recs for more Kate/Jack vids or Kate/Sawyer vids please send them my way. Pretty please???

Going to the movies to see Die Hard tonight, so early recs! :)

Supernatural

This Wasn't In the User Manual by paw_tracks (Sheppard/McKay, SPN/SGA) This was short and funny. :)

Well this is all new by merihn (Sam/Dean, pre-series) This was hot and actually rather short.

Burdens to Bear and sequel Burdens to Hold by blue_soaring (Sam/Dean) both of these stories are incredibly hot.

SG-1

Not Us by paian (Daniel/Jack) This was bittersweet and it doesn't hurt that the sex is hot. :)

Stargate Atlantis

On the ground, off-world by ana_grrl (McKay/Lorne) INSTANT REC!!! I can't stop smiling after reading this story, it was hot, funny, and the ending was perfect.

Doctor Who

Mastery by ariafic (Master/Ten) This was kind of hot and I loved the Master's pov.

Nothing Safe about This Life by luzdeestrellas(Doctor/Rose) Loved their interaction here. :)

I'm borrowing the DVD Armageddon because it's one of my favorite movies ever and so tonight I go to put the legally bought version (that I had to beg and plead with my brother to part with for a month or two or until I go to San Antonio to visit my mom and him again) into my desktop DVD player...nothing happens.

At this point I have one of two choices, either rip the dvd with my laptop dvd player (which for some reason will recognize the dvd) or download the damn movie via torrents. I'm still debating on which one will be quicker to accomplish...keeping in mind I'd have to transfer the ripped dvd to my desktop (all 6 gigs) I'm not a happy camper tonight.

However, the rest of my weekend went rather well. I got the chance to visit my dad one last time before he heads for Iraq (for the third time), my parent's got Wookie their pet Shih-tzu to the vet in time to get an Benadryl (not sure what he got into but his face started to swell up and my parents rushed him to the vet, he's OK now) Got to see Spiderman 3 (Harry made the movie for me) hung out with my brother, saw Romancing the Stone again for the first time in about 10 years, my husband had never seen it and my brother and I were game to watch it again. I'd forgotten how funny the movie is, I loved it.

On the downside, allergies are kicking my ass, my nose is starting to hurt and I have no non-drowsy allergy medicine so tomorrow I'll have to pick some up at the pharmacy.

I didn't get a chance to read a lot this weekend and actually I'm trying to take a small break away from fan fiction for awhile because I don't want to overdo it to the point where I can't read Supernatural fan fiction.

My goal for this upcoming week is to also find some online writing exercises that I can try and accomplish so that I can become more comfortable with writing again. I realized that after I graduated college I haven't really done much in the way of formal writing or informal writing beyond what's written in my LJ and through emails. I feel out of practice and uncomfortable writing fiction.

I finally saw this movie after trying to watch it since it first came out. I reallly enjoyed it but I don't think I quite got the ending. Though it could be because the subtitles of the song at the end were under the subtitles of teh characters speaking, so I had to go back and watch tha scene dubbed....um and then I couldn't stop laughing.

All in all, my husband and I had a fun time watching. :)

I also made crispy tacos tonight and they were REALLY good. It's been a while since I made crispy tacos and no this did not come out of a box. I just got hamburger meat, made a thin layer on one side of a corn tortilla, fried it in frying pan, added a bunch of colby jack cheese. The only thing missing was the guacomole.

Okay, will now return to reading. :)

edit: I also loved the newest episode for Doctor Who. Martha works for me...but I still miss Rose.

Trailer

Am I the only one that feels really excited about seeing this movie already??? I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's good. It has potential to go either way, though it does give me heart to know that they've been working on this movie for a while now, it's just not slapped together like some other movies that have come out recently.

The Fountain!!!! sucked! um okay I thought it was very very boring and didn't make a lot of sense and basically I figured in case anyone on my flist had given thought to watching the movie, I should warn them ahead of time. The movie was only 1 hour and 24 minutes but it felt like FOREVER. really I one time watched paint dry and had more fun.

Also I spent some time yesterday reading bad fic, not sure what was wrong with me, but with this one story it was like a train wreck and it was like 50k words long and it had potential but just wasn't happening.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!! and basically no amount of negativity will change my opinion about it. :) i had a blast...um basically it gave me everything I wanted. I think I screamed a bit more than the other people, there were some rather startling moments but all in all, really enjoyed my time at the movies tonight. :)

My husband also enjoyed the movie though he said I scared him more than the actual movie because I'd scream and grab his arm and cover my eyes a bit, and then peek out just as a snake would jump at the screen or something. So naturally, I had a blast. I love movies that actually make me get involved.

Okay really sleepy now. Night everyone.
