katikat | Fic recs and other stuff

You know,

yami_tai is right. It's quite easy to stop updating your LJ. You let it slide one day and another one and then, you have to literally force yourself to update it. Suddenly, nothing seems important enough to write an entry about... Strange.

Supernatural fics to rec:

"Footprints" by

legoline is a gen story and a coda to All Hell Breaks Loose p. 2. Dean's life is all about "lasts" now. My favorite part...

Because Dean had been so excited about the apparent sightings of Bigfoot. Because he’d said in a tone that had made Sam’s heart stutter, “This is is my last chance to see it.”

So sad...

"The Measure of a Man" by

astri13 is another gen story and a coda to Shadow. Sam and Dean rid a rich lawyer of a poltergeist. The man offers to get Sam back into school but he perceives Dean as a pretty face with empty head. Until Sam punches him. My favorite part...

More like you`ll be disappointed about being deprived the view of a nearly naked Dean, Sam thought surly. Even now her eyes were hungrily roaming over Dean`s body in the tight-fitted Jeans and T-shirt he wore, like he was an appetizer on a plate. An analogy that wasn`t too far off, Sam thought and without really being aware of it. he moved a bit to shield his brother from those predatory eyes, narrowing his own.

It's quite a touching story, really :)

My aunt and uncle went back home again. All I managed to do over the last couple of days was finish my puzzle. I need a vacation from this vacation. Family makes me feel tired *yawns*

I will be translating Patricia Briggs' "Moon Called" and "Blood Bound" into Czech. I'm really excited about that because I love these books to pieces... But how the hell should I translate "skinwalker"?! I know what it means but we have no word for it in our language! X( Just like there are no real words for "shapeshifter" and "fae/fey" *groans*

Books to do for this year: finish "Homeland" and "Exile" by R. A. Salvatore, finish "Weasel's Luck" by M. Williams, translate another book in P. N. Elrod's "Vampire Files" series... And then I'll start working on the books for year 2008 already: P. Briggs' "Moon Called" and "Blood Bound", B. and J. C. Hendee's "Rebel of the Fey", R. A. Salvatore's "Soujourn", other books by P. N. Elrod etc. etc. Yup, my plate is quite full :D

ETA: Heh, obviously, Amazon already shipped season 1 of Psych to me... They kinda forgot to send a confirmation email though. Hm... X(

ETA2: Does anyone know where I could download ep 2x02 Black Widow from the series Poltergeist: The Legacy? I found it only in German or Spanish via emule but that's it. I would be even willing to buy the original DVDs to get this one ep. Unfortunately, only season 1 of this series is available so far... :( My index finger still itches to click on "Add to Cart"... I so loved this show!
