'Cause guys like me, we look good at the gate, but you'll agree with the odds on the slate...

I am just about to crash, so I'm not entirely sure how coherent I am right now. However. A few things.

• beyondtherift got an Alex Drake. And she is fantastic and I am so happy about it. Sam is getting smacked in the face by karma for all the times other people had to deal with his crazy.
  
  
• Torchwood S4 just got confirmed. I am so pleased right now. And okay, more than a little smug. I think this is what victory feels like. XD I believe that those who need to ask how Torchwood will go on after S3 are suffering from a lack of imagination. Also, I so need to get to work on plotting my epic post-S3 fic. I'd do it tonight, but SO TIRED. So it'll have to be tomorrow.
  
  
• I am failing at actually sleeping lately. I try to go to sleep in a timely fashion, but then I just lie in bed stressing out about nothing in particular. It sucks. If I don't fall asleep in an hour tonight, I'm so getting up again. If I'm going to be awake, exhausted and annoyed, I'm at least going to be productive about it.
  
  
• Beka may or may not have adopted a stray black kitty the other day. We were thinking about getting a kitten anyway, and while this kitty is decidedly older than a kitten, he is still tineh. And cuddly and adorable. His name is Wednesday Michaelcat... Rodrigo... Atreyu... I don't even know. XD Beka had everyone in chat give him a name, so it is long and epic. Just call him Michaelcat, it's better for everyone's sanity.
  
  
• writerinadrawer is still open for voting until 5 PM CDT! If you haven't yet voted and have some time to do so, you definitely should. There are some pretty awesome fics in there (by no means all of them, but the good ones are so worth reading the others). The fic posts are here and here, and the voting post is here. Bonus game: see if you can guess which fic is mine! ...mostly because it amuses me to see if you guys can. (Beka, you don't count at all.)

WELL SHE IS. Fantastic, that is. And you yourself are lovely and wonderful to have around. ^^

So much this. I mean, I liked the "The End" feel of S3 very much, but to say it shouldn't continue because of that is just defeatist. There are loads of directions they can go from here. :)

I am especially excited because I love love love stories about rebuilding and bringing people together and forming teams and families. Which is everything S4 is set up to be right now.

It's not that I don't love S3 - bad things happening to good people, and horrible choices being made because they're the best of a bad lot, and no, the hero doesn't always save the day - but... you can't just give up there. You have to look at the other side of the coin, where for all of that... people are strong enough to live through it and come out the other side alive and stronger than before. That's what I want from S4.
