Heroes, essays, ficciness

[guanin]

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.

Mejorate mucho, que Puerto Rico te esta esperando.

no me gusta mucho Adam/peter, ¿será que me gusta Kiro?tal sea eso.

He leído HIro/Sylar y me ha gustado mucho, ¡sí, ya lo sé que forma una extraña pareja!

Es bueno que Sylar intente ser bueno, ¿crees que soy mala por pensar que Sylar debería matar a Arthur para que se quede con todos sus poderes?, de esa manera Sylar no mataría a nadie más, salvo a Maya que merece morir, y puede que vuelva a la serie.

si puedes vete a www.zonaheroes.com, pues hay nos rumores que no me gusta nada.

Yo encuentro Peter/Adam muy atractivo, pero no he le[ido m[as de dos cuentos sobre ellos, lo cual encuentro un poco raro, pero es que siempre pierdo paciencia con Peter por no ver lo obvio. Hiro/Sylar no me atrae, pero ahí se que es por Hiro/Ando.

Personalmente, a mí Sylar me encanta por que es un sicopata y mata por su deseo de ser especial. Que el trate de ser bueno es completamente contra su personalidad. Odio cuando tratan de redimir perosnajes así. Mis personajes favoritos muchas veces tienden a ser los machiavelicos y manipuladores como Sylar y Adam. Para ser sincera, no aprecie a Kensei lo suficiente hasta que se convirtió en Adam. Perdon, pero esto es precisamente una de las cosas que más odio sobre esta temporada. Me encantaría que matara a Arthur. Más vale que alguién lo haga.

Ugh. ¿Acaso Hiro no sigue diciendo que no va a regresar al pasado por que es demasiado peligroso y cambiaría todo? Pero claro, a los escritores no les importa la continuidad.

Se habla que los guionistas quieren cargarse a varios personajes, y Hiro esta entre ellos, y también que en el Comic Adam tenía dos hijos, pero espero que no aparezca en la serie, pues yo creo ser alguien relacionado directamente o directamente con los Petrelli o con Claire(puesto que el mundo gira alrededor de ellos)

I honestly don't see how you're able to stay sane writing so many essays. I'm going through my comp II class in college and its driving me NUTS! I feel like I'm going to break any second now. But more power to ya, you seem to be a wonderful writer, I can only imagine what you come up with in your more scholarly works =)

I've been contemplating on watching the second season again.. if just for Adam, everything else (Well with the exception of Matt's storyline) is just boring filler.

I miss the old Sylar to =( I fell in love with the character again after re-watching season 1 with my friend (Claude as well god willing they bring him back in.) and am rather disgusted and appalled with what they are doing to his character this season. To be fair the fact that he was still killing without his powers in season 2 completely dismisses the whole stupid 'hunger' concept anyway =/

*Sigh* I miss you show.

I don't know, either. I guess that after 7 years of getting my undergrad I'm used to it, but three at once is too much. Aw, thanks! Personally, I always tend to think that my essays are crap when I'm done, but that might just be nervousness that I'm going to fail, which I never do, but I see so many flaws all over the place. The standards being higher now since it's an MA doesn't help. Oh, well. I should have my grades back before the holidays, so we'll see.

I don't know if i could handle watching the full second season without some very selective editing, though I did buy the DVDs the very day I left to come over here because I was freaking out that I might regret not getting Adam in HD until Christmas since here it's region 2 and my compu is region 1. Yes, I forked over 40 bucks for Adam. It still hurts, but Adam's worth it.

Good point. This "hunger" thing is just some stupid plot device to play the redemption game because Kring doesn't have any notion of follow-through and needs his characters to be in a constant state of existential crisis. This season disgusts me so much in so many ways.

Adam was totally controlling him w/ sex. You know they spent their captivity listening to each other jerk off. Peter was so happy when he first got a look at Adam. He was totally like "Oh thank God my spankmonkey really is hot, and not just in my head."

Oh Adam you wonderfully evil bastard! He and Sylar need to take over the world together and spend eternity bitching about who gets what.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

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. :)
