Heroes, essays, ficciness

I've had the "Epiphany" track from Sweeney Todd stuck in my head for the past five hours. It's driving me just this shade of nuts. I love that movie, but really.

The sore throat went away, but now I have that itchiness at the back of my throat that makes me want to cough constantly. The nose seems to be behaving itself, oddly enough. *knocks on wood*

I'm back on the grin essay wise, since I have two essays due a week after I get back from Puerto Rico and I have three weeks before I leave. However, I'm going to take it easy this time, because I refuse to get back to that "no time for anything ever" pace again right now, and I also have three+ weeks of holidays. So I'm going to go through sources and do as much research as I can right now, take a mountain of photocopies, and take advantage of the fact that many of the sources that I'm going to use for one of them I'll also use for my dissertation, since I also need to start working on that. I still need to narrow down the topic, but it's cool. Most people don't have more than a general idea right now.

I watched the last two episodes of S2 of Heroes last night to indulge in glorious Adam goodness (while fast forwarding everything with Maya in it). I spent a fair amount of time shaking my head at Peter for being such an idiot. I'm sticking to my theory that Adam was controlling him through sex, because it makes more sense than anything else (at least in my brain it does). It's also lots of fun. Speaking of, I started an Adam/Peter fic today because I got a little stuckish on Dust to Dust (I'm unstuck now, by the way) and visiblemarket asked so nicely. Plus, it is technically background for Dust to Dust, though not really necessary, but hey. Smut. So then two sentences into Peter's POV it turned into a Plaude fic. Everything was Claude, Claude, Claude. The boy's got it bad, I tell ya. So now it's a Plaude and Adam/Peter fic. Though if it were from Adam's POV, everything would somehow be about Hiro, so that evens out.

Back to the eps, it was so refreshing to see Sylar again. You know, the real Sylar and not that mutant "But I want to be good" clone disgracing the screen nowadays. Granted, he was stuck in the Maya storyline of doom, but I had such hope at the end when he grabs that can of spinach and says, "I'm back" in pure, devious, arrogant Sylar voice with his spiky hair and I'm better than you attitude. I miss him so much. *sniff* I've also been rewatching random eps of S1, mostly the ones near the end and where Claude is seducing beating the hell out of Peter. Good times. I always wish they'd done more of those scenes.

Totally. What better way to spend the time? It's not like there was anything else to do, anyway. And it's so very effective.

I can just see it. Adam using his silky voice to his advantage, Peter being all emo and "don't talk to me." You know the majority of the time they were together Adam was rolling his eyes. "Of course, Peter, whatever you say."

It's a good thing he has healing power otherwise he'd have eyestrain. :)
