Yesterday I finally watched Thoughtcrimes, starring Navi Rawat (Dana the vampire slayer from 'Angel') and Joe Flanigan. [livejournal.com profile] koalathebear rec'd that movie a while back and I always thought it sounded interesting, but I didn't expect it to be this good! Why is this movie so little known? The plot is good, Rawat is perfect for the role of the telepath overwhelmed by her gift, Joe is utterly lovable as the NSA agent and the two have fantastic chemistry. (He's got more chemistry with her than with all the women on Atlantis combined.) The only downside I could find is that now I'd like to see more of it. Really, this watches like the pilot for a tv show... and I'd watch that show!

I wanted to *coughuploadcough* to share the squee, but Megaupload has completely stopped working for me. My computer freezes almost to a complete halt whenever I try to upload something there. Can anyone recommend a good alternative?

But If You Try Sometimes (you just might find) by [livejournal.com profile] sardonicsmiley
Rodney/Jennifer; PG; Post ep for The Shrine; 1,800 words
Summary: “What about you and John? Rodney, I’d have to be blind not to—not to—you know.”

Quite amazing character/relationship piece that managed to help me sort out my feelings after watching the episode. I adopted her take on it into my personal canon. The way she writes the tangled emotions and relationships feels absolutely believable.

In other news, the weather sucks. But one of the online weather sites promised a sunny Saturday and I'm choosing to believe them. I want to go rollerblading, dammit. Okay, the rain has at least stopped so theoretically I could, but it's just more fun in sunny weather.

My taxes are due at the end of the month. I still haven't started. But, well, traditionally I do my taxes the night before the deadline. I inked my [livejournal.com profile] livelongnmarry piece instead, which was definitely more fun. Maybe elves will come overnight to take care of the taxes.
