redfiona99Day 19 - Best TV show cast
I am going to use this as an excuse to mention Rome in this meme. Because there were no bad actors in it. When Tobias Menzies (Brutus) is the nearest thing you have to a weak link, that is one heck of a stacked cast.

Day 2 - A show that more people should watch
Day 3 - Your favourite new show
Day 4 - Your favourite TV show
Day 5 - Your least favourite TV show

As well as working on the PhD I have been working on some fic, some of which is now finished (finally, two years late in one case). With a couple of them it was just getting past a hurdle and then it was plain sailing from there (plain running maybe, to keep the analogy going). Seriously, with one fic, more got written last night than had been written for the past year.
Other ones have got stuck at interesting places (including one I can't talk about because it's a gift and it is stuck beyond the speaking of, argh!). The one that amuses me the most is a Sherlock Holmes (RDJ version) fic that was supposed to be a PWP. It has developed plot. I am writing a whole case to go with it, to the point where I'm not that interested in the porn bit. It's still going in, because the case doesn't make any sense without the porn, but it's now become plot with porn instead of porn without plot.

Sadly, it doesn't take away from the nightmare I had last night where, because my library books were overdue, I couldn't graduate and it lead me into a life of ruin. I think it's mostly PhD stress making itself know.
