Bel's Journal

Kinda lazy lately, even to write here *is ashamed*. I will use some bullets *g*.

• Last week I made a small surgery, a cauterization in fact, to get rid of some wars (fingers and face). I'm recovering well. Last year it was worse (had big holes in my fingers for weeks). This time no holes at all.

• Going back to English classes next month. Me, hubby, sister and niece. It's gonna be amazing :)))))).

• All my personal web sites vanished from T35 (Pedra Sobre Pedra, Renata Sorrah, Roxette, my portal), even the one with all my layouts (well, kinda saw that coming). Don't know yet if I'm going to host them again (such a hard work). So, to find all my layouts, just search through my memories or take a look at the comm layouts_for_fun.

• Reccing a great fic I just started reading. Go check On The Right Path by sawsha12. It's really good ;-).

• Yesterday I watched Supernatural (episode Criss Angel Is A Douchebag) with hubby and tonight we will watch Lost and Bones. Kinda late, but we're trying to catch up ;-).

• I also have to catch up with AtS comics. Didn't read the last issue yet.

• Read that the brilliant director Kim Manners passed away. He worked in Supernatural and X-Files. May he rest in peace. His work will never be forgotten.

• Just noticed something really weird. I was going to use one of my userpics in this post and I saw that it was replaced by another one that it's not mine!!! Never saw THIS USERPIC before and it's in my userpics list!!! Is LJ messing around with us?

I have some recs to do today. Reading and enjoying fics is surely much better than fandom wank. So take a look in these ones and have fun ;-).

- Rescue me by ash_carpenter - Everyone needs some rescuing at some point. This fic is poignant, lyric, emotional.

- Angels Lament or Thy "Will" be Done by vamptastica - That's such an intense drabble. Wonderful.

- Those sunny days by xenodike - This is so poetic and beautiful and hot. Take a look, you will love it.

- Electric Company by sunnyd_lite - Adventures of Angel, Spike and company. And a guest star ;-).

- Thicker Than Water (Part 1) by kellyhk - This is good, I mean, REALLY GOOD. My heart was aching while realing this. One hint: Spike in Siberia. And it's just the start.

- Shared Skin by perverted_pages - Okay, if you need a laugh, read this, 'cos just Spike knows how to make fun of Angel properly, it's hilarious.

- Dance with me - 1-3 parts and Dance with me - 4-6 parts by darklingdawns - That's so beautiful. Everything Spike wanted was to dance with Angel.

- Standing the test of time - part 17 by erin_starlight - A great chap of one of my favorite fics ever. And let's the seducing plan begin!!!

- Man's best friend - part 2 by tkp - Even better than the first part. You know you want to read it ;-). And I can't help writing thesis in the comments, hehe.

- I miss the days when we could talk by sexymermaid - Spike being annoying, Angel feeling irritated. Always so much fun!!! Oh, and that flame, that flame *chuckles*.


And don't forget to give feedback to the writers, pretty please.

--------------------------

I'm going to stay out of city tomorrow and on Sunday morning, but I will be back in time to post my layouts for spring_spangel, I promise ;-).

*stares at the window*

I'm seeing soap bubbles flying in the wind outside my window. And I'm at the 2nd floor. Weird.

Anyway, I have nothing to do right now, then I decided to make some recs.

- CLICK HERE to read sueworld2003's report about her dinner with James Marsters (lucky lucky girl). She has some nifty vids in her LJ as well.

- Fic Volcano by shylahmask, part 1 and part 2. A very great reading.

- And if you want to be shocked, SEE THIS. That's what we can call a very offensive action figure of Mary Jane *snorts*.

*off to drink some coffee*

I've read some news about AtS Season 6 comics. Joss gave an interview about the subject here. According to Joss, Brian Lynch will assume the control of the comics and it will have 12 issues. Also, there's some debate going on Whedonesque, with the participation of Lynch himself.

Going back to reccing fics, if you're up for a good laugh, you have to read A Standard Day by ash_carpenter. It's one of those bizarre plot bunnies that turned into a very delightful reading. My belly nearly hurt with so much laughing.

Plus, I have more 2 recs:

- All the Bells and Whistles by clockstopper

- Clamped by fanbot


And my mail box is over 100 comments and e-mails. Guess I'm going to take a while to answer everybody...

Recs of the day. Nothing better than start a week with some good Spangel fic to read ;-)

- Beautiful Dawn by Jenny. It's the third part of her story Dark Domain. Yeah, she's back writing Spangel, yay.

- Splinter, chapter 27 by lusciousspike. Angel needs some good spanking in this fic, lol.

- With the Tide, chapter 1/5 by salustra. Angel has to deal with a feral Spike returned from Qur-Toth. It's too good for words!!!


And some great ficlets spankspike wrote for spring_spangel:

- Rescued From Bad Fashion

- Don't Drop The Soap

- Learning is Fun / How To Earn A Viper

- The Real Prize / You Were My Yoda

- Two Scenes From A Plane / Alone Again

- The Deathday Present


Have a good reading ;-).

I'm in the mood to post something today. Going with the list thing, 'cos, you know, I'm used to make lists for anything...

Personal stuff:

- I went to play bowling last night with nighttechno and some of his co-workers. It was my first time playing bowling and even so I managed to get a very good scoring (better than my bf *g*). Yay me!!!

- My Sky is back!!! The decoder had to be replaced by a new one.

- Gahhhhhhhh, I saw a spoiler from this week's episode of Lost!!! And I saw it at a very popular portal here in Brazil, highlight news on the entertainment section with a pic. I shouldn't know that yet!!! *is very angry*

- Tonight I'll go to the Black Eyed Peas concert here in Curitiba with nighttechno, my niece (she was bouncing like crazy yesterday when I told her), my sister and some friends. No, we don't have tickets, but a friend of my sister has this place (a piece of land) nearby where we can watch the concert (the concert will be in a quarry surrounded by rock walls and the land is on top). Probably it will be very cold at night, but I hope it won't rain at least *crossed fingers*.


Recs:

It's Friday and I got inspired to make some recs of what I've been reading lately. Spangel recs, of course, 'cos I'm never tired of spreading the vamp slashy love. Let's go then...

And I have to make a special reccing to tubbyk's fics. She has been working on some fics which are amazing and with great plots. Yeah, all WIP, but it's worthwhile to wait for her to bring the next chapters. She has a LJ, but she has been posting at CDS. Here they are...

- Courtship - AtS Season 5, NC-17, Angel and Spike finally start bonding when a new someone appears to mess things up between them. Chapters at CDS

To more recs, check out my Memories. I have more than 400 fics added ;-).

I've just read a wonderful essay. You know when someone describes something in a certain degree that sums up the great part of the reasons you love the said something? Well, that's the case right here and the "something" is SPIKE.

I could identify in this essay in a way I wasn't expecting and I realized I'm not ready yet to let Spike go. Maybe I will never be. Surely I love and loved many characters from different kinds of media, but I'm never felt so obsessed with a character like I am with Spike. He's passionate, he's intriguing, he's compelling and I just can't stop adoring him, reading about him, watching his scenes endlessly, thinking about him. He's such a force of nature *g*.

So, take a look in the essay and love Spike more and more ;-).

I have some good pimping to do today ;-).
