So I know this blog is fuckyeaheliotspencer, but I was thinking about making a list of best episodes for each character. For now, what are your favorite Parker episodes?

Omg I love Parker.

Erm the one with the psychic, which also has the awesome Eliot moment when Parker says something like “Can we kill him?” and Eliot is like “yeah I could arrange that” because dammit nobody upsets Parker.

The Broken Wing job in season 5 obviously with Parker’s broken leg.

The one where we meet Archie and go after that wheat company “no but it’s what we do”

Oh and the Girls Night Out Job! Where Parker asks Sophie for advice and says it would have been more fun with Hardison. Plus how caring she is with “Alice’s friend” which reminds me ofc of The Juror Job which started the whole thing.

Oooh the chocolate episode when she is hyper on chocolate, talks crazy fast, and has it all round her mouth and grins at the camera.

The Christmas episodes! Man Parker and Christmas. There is the scenes with Santa, and the one where she thinks Hardison can make it snow, the one where she gets money for a gift. I forget whether this was all one episode or more than one.

Oh and I definitely have to mention the one where she gets to jump off a building which is like 10 buildings stacked on top of one another.

I could go on all day.

I was really looking forward to Jaime Murray’s introduction on Warehouse 13 and she hasn’t disappointed.

Can I resist googling? No I can not.

15 episodes? 15! 🙁 what a shame as there are 52 episodes left of the show.

I swear Jaime Murray is like, ugh I can’t think of the word, it’s been said about Robert Carlyle, how they used Rumple sparingly as somehow they thought less was more?

Less is never more.

More is more and there should always be more of the good stuff.

But seriously this character of HG Wells is inspired. In terms of the show up until now my favourite character was probably Claudia, followed by Mrs Frederick, then maybe Artie.

Pete is too much of an immature frat boy, who I don’t buy as a secret service agent to be honest, and Bering comes across weak. I know I shouldn’t say that but it feels like she mostly screams “Pete!” and does very little ass-kicking. I don’t dislike them so much as I just don’t find them at all compelling. I know they are the main characters but this would hardly be the first show where the supporting cast were the best bit (Alias I am looking at you).

Plus clearly I have a thing for the “artifact collecting trope”. I really like the National Treasure movies despite the fact that I generally can’t stand Nicholas Cage, The Librarians is currently one of my favourite things ever, and now this.

I really hope there is awesome HG Wells fanfic otherwise I’m going to get plot bunnies and as the old writing machine is a little broken, that is not a good thing.

See, knowledge isn’t old or gnarled or knotted.It’s young, always growing. That’s the thing about knowledge. No matter how much you think you have, there’s always room to grow.

I’m watching Warehouse 13. It has been on my list for a really long time but the similarity to the Librarians convinced me to go for it.

The really funny thing is how excited they were at “two-way video communication”

I guess this show pre-dates the iPhone *sniggers*

My brain right now… “You need to do the thing” …

Happy Executive Dysfunction day! #relatable

Oh yeah definitely. I spend most of my life going

“I want to do the thing!”

Why are you not doing the thing?

“I don’t know *cries* I really want to!”

But. you. are. not ??

*insert untold frustration, self-loathing and anger*

To be honest when I half-celebrated yesterday that I’d had a reasonably productive week that’s because it’s my first week in what feels like forever where I actually got on with stuff, rather than just spending my time yelling at myself for not doing stuff … which I’m kinda doing this morning.

Guess the holiday in productive land is over /slaps self *rolls eyes*

I was just thinking to myself that maybe, definitely my problem with focusing today is that I’m waiting for a delivery. It’s like my entire brain is just trained on listening for the door, and there’s no room for anything else.

Buuuuut the package literally just arrived so no more excuses 🙂

Of course now I have the “ooooh new shiny” to resist hehe (it’s a DVD) but TV is for night-time, day is for productivity, or so I tell myself.

My brain right now…

“You need to do the thing”

“But I need to do all these other things”

“You can only do one thing at a time. Do the thing.”

“But what about all these other things?”

*does nothing*

You know I woke up this morning and realised that Friday is an all day thing. Today, it’s Friday – all day.

So *stares down at deadline* while I hate doing things last minute/day they are due, let’s see if I can pull the rabbit out of the hat and still do this thing!

Ok here’s a thing.

I’ve been pretty good this week (by my standards anyway) in terms of getting shit done. At the weekend I knocked off my to-do-list some stuff that had been there since before last christmas. On Monday I had class, and then that afternoon did the prep work for the class next Monday. Tuesday I did 2/3rds of the work for a formative essay due in end of next week. Wednesday was a bit of a wash as I had meetings and then today …

oh today

Today is Thursday and so it’s the end of the week (in terms of classes as I’m super fortunate this semester and don’t have anything scheduled on Friday) and I’m knackered.

Like it’s 5:15pm and I wish it was bedtime. I am so done with today. I have had enough of today-ing.

My problem is that at no point in my blitz of kinda-productivity this week did I finish that bloody Celeb/Fan AU I swore I would do for tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong I love that fic and I love Garcy and I want to write the thing. I am just really terrible at time management. The week has gone and yes ^^ I did things but I didn’t do enough things – clearly – as there is still more to do, and things left undone. Maybe I ordered the tasks wrong.

I don’t know whether to be pleased or mad at myself, and quite frankly I don’t have the energy for either. I think I’ll settle for disappointed and resolve to try harder in future 🙁

I have no idea what to do for @rumbellebigbang. Every idea I come up with either gets done by someone else, or is not something I’m ready to tackle right now.

I’ve been reading a book called ‘The Writer’s Mindset’ which is about all the Ahhhhh #writing is hard things that drive us insane.

There is a chapter called ‘My writing isn’t original’ which begins with the line “Every story has been written before.” And the antidote it offers to this worry is this

“YOUR thoughts have not been written before, and YOUR story has not been told before. YOU are the original aspect of creativity, and what you bring to the world will be different to what others bring, even on the same topic.”

It says that just because stories have similar aspects they are not the same. That this means “they will satisfy readers of this type of story” and that authors all bring their own original spin.

So TLDR it doesn’t matter if other people have done it, you will do it your way.
