TV ate my life

I've just had an idea for a Lost Boys fic. I think it's good, but it's been a long time... I think I'll see how I feel about it in the morning. Watch this space.

Also, when talking about good films to a guy at work the other day, he said a film he thought I wouldn't have heard of. It was the Lost Boys. I had to laugh out loud, literally. I've informed him about the sequels. And Reign of Frogs. And the fact that I've written in excess of 30 fics. He was surprised. Also, the fool thought that Michael was the main character and was shocked at the prospect of sequels without him. I laughed again.

I found a tablet computer today. It was just sitting on a bench in west park where I went with a friend of mine and his daughter for a quick play on the swings before we met my sister and Poppy for dinner. There was absolutely no one around, and certainly no wide-eyed, frantic looking people running around asking us if we'd seen it. Not sure what to do, I picked it up and put it in my bag, thinking I'd drop it off at a police station on the way to Big Fun that afternoon.

As it happened, I didn't have time to go to a police station because my friend allows bios daughter to dictate everything the do, meaning that everything takes ten times longer than it should. That and the Goodfellowship has practically no vegetarian food choices for kids, meaning that there was nothing for. Poppy to eat apart from vegi sausages and potato, which was what my sister was planning on giving her for tea, so wine had to move. Oh, and Hannah managed to spill an entire glass of coke all over the table, the birthday present she had got for Poppy and my sister. We ended up at e Old Gray Mare, which was much nicer than the GF, and had food everyone could eat.

So anyway, we were pushed for time and my sister needed to get home to get ready for work by about 4, so we went straight to Big Fun, and then I had to go to their house, then it was tea time, and the end result is that I just haven't had the time to go all the way to the police station. I feel bad about it, because I keep imagining this guy going there to ask if it's been handed in and being told that it hasn't. What I've done instead though, is have a look through it (it's not locked and I figure it's not snooping, it's trying to be helpful) and found his email address. I've sent a message to it telling him that I found 'an item' in the park that I think. ugh the his and to get in touch so I can get it back to him. I also found out his work email and sent the same thing to that. I tried ringing his work but the apparently aren't there on weekends, but I know his name, his email and where he works, so I wonder if it wouldn't be better to hang on to it for now, see if he gets back to me and if not then ring his work on Monday. After all, I bet a lot of people wouldn't think to go to the police station anyway, they'd just figure the ting was gone. Not sure what's best.

I just got in from a night babysitting my niece. It was a practise shift ready for when my mum's on holiday (she and my dad are going to Hawaii - so unfair!) and I have to do it. Poppy is hilarious. As a delaying tactic so she didn't have to get in the bath, she went through my entire bag, investigated each and every thing, demanded I open my purse so she could count my money, then declared that all the coins were going in her money box. Then she opened my eyeshadow and applied it to her cheeks. And to mine. It's purple and shiny, we looked a bit weird. But she went to bed more easily than I expected, once I'd figured out how to put a nappy on (yeah, I'm genuinely that useless).

I took my computer with me, Hoping to write a bit. I have this idea for a Grimm fic, very silly, where Monroe kind of thinks of Nick as a pet. But I was tired and headachy, so I just watched my Grimm DVDs all night. Got through five episodes, including one I'd missed and one that I must have either not being paying attention too or I fell asleep during, because I only remembered about 25% of it. That or I was drunk the first time. Entirely possible.

Talking of, is it me or does Monroe drink an awful lot? I mean, not for a normal person but for someone in an American prime time show. I think every episode he's offering Nick beer or wine or even eggnog. Or just sitting around drinking at home. It's pretty cool really. Makes him seem more normal, somehow.

I feel a bit bad for jumping fandoms. I really do intend to write more Lost Boys fics, but this Grimm think kind of snuck up in me unexpectedly. But it's nice to have inspiration to write again, because no matter how much I said I wanted to, I found that nothing I wrote for LB worked out, not for months. Maybe a holiday in another fandom will wake the muse up.

Anyway, off work now for two weeks now, which is awesome, as long as my brother stays more or less sane. Fingers crossed.

Still catching up on the last few years of X-Men comics, reading X-Men Legacy I came across this advert. I kind of stared at it for a second trying to think where I had seen it before, and then I was like "oh, ha!" thing is, there's no mention of the Lost Boys on it, no reason for them to be doing a tribute to the film that I can see, though I don't know what the story they're advertising is about, so it could be relevant. It's just very cool.

I think I'm going to deviate slightly from canon for the Enemy. I have an idea for an OC. A half vampire, but one that's been a half vampire for a long time and likes it. But if the death of the head vampire in the Thirst meant all half vampires became human again, that's not possible. So I'm thinking of making it that the ead vamp Edgar killed was *a* head vamp, and the same bloodline as Alan which is why his death freed him, but other half camps from other bloodlines could still exist.

I don't know if it actually makes sense at this point, obviously I'm going to try to explain it better in the story. I likethe idea of the character, anyway, so it needs to be done so he can exist.

But no more fic for tonight anyway, I'm on my way to the cinema to see the Green Hornet. I've ears good and bad things, so I guess I'll see what I thi k and form my own opinion.

I'm still in a really weird mood.

IPhone post, btw. Sorry or any typos!

I feel better today. Not okay, but better.
