Now that dissertation...

[carmen_lj]

I have decided that this...this thing is sucking the life out of me. I will not hate it though, no, we will be friends and it will give me words and we will both be very happy together till death. Its death. Bloody dissertation. I have 150 words left today and then I will feel as though I can Meet Targets by slowly increasing them each day, yes. That is the plan. Today's target tis/was 500 words. It is a good number, yes.

I watched The Long Twilight Struggle today, possibly my favourite season two episode of Babylon 5 for the superb speech that G'Kar gives in the council chambers. This is my own wee memorial to an actor who gave life to my favourite character in Babylon 5, an alien who was never a cypher, but a complex, living, breathing person that I never ceased to believe in. Not even in Legend of the Rangers. Andreas Katsulas was smashing at what he did, yes.

I need a nice proper G'kar icon.

And some time ago I made a not entirely sucky fanfiction cover for Orphans. But Photoshop is no longer working as a distraction. I think Pressure is getting to me. I can go and get a cup of tea, but I can't properly stop work unless I've just woken up or am planning to sleep. Which I'm not. For a few hours anyway. Yarg. Sadly, this has led to an increasingly stupid number of hours spent on OG. Which cannot be good.

The dissertation.

You know, I couldn't read literature for five years after finishing the damn thing.

I think it's a weapon of mind-controlling aliens. They use it to siphon the life-force from anyone who becomes educated enough to potentially uncover their evil schemes.

Literature is safe. Which is nice. And good. But I fear I will never love the Romans ever, ever again.

I love the Romans! I'm so glad they weren't in my dissertation :)

This is my only G'Kar icon. Perhaps not the best under the cirumstances, but... Sigh. Why do the good have to die?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

All my G'kar icons are Londo/G'Kar...um..yes...

Because the good are heavy smokers for their whole lives and only give up when they find out it is killing them dead, I think in this case.

I hate your dissertation.
I'm sure it's very good dissertation.
But I hate it until it dies.
Good.
I love G'Kar.

Dude. It is like a poem of exactly what is true like now. Yes.

How many actors could handle the character transition of G'Kar from Season 1 to Season 5?

And while wearing nearly full-body prosthetics?

If Hollywood weren't so beauty-obsessed and terrified of the sf genre, he would've won every award in the book.

Indeed, yes. ::flails:: All that. Greatly.

Oh, that cover is fan-freakin-tastic. I wish I had your Photoshipping skills.

Tis procrastination from uni work, yes.
