Aren’t They Sweet Together

I keep looking at this picture thinking they look so perfect together.

Paul’s (Brian) face appears softer in this pic than it did in the movie. Which makes me think, did they go for a harder and edgier Brian due to the years of redemption for being a lousy cop five years ago. Was he pining for Dom and now that Dom is right there beside Brian, all of his worries just fell away.

Am I giving you FAF fandom writers something to write about. I’ll even take RPS. LOL

This Blog Does Not Have Fan Fiction

ETA: I moved all of my fan fiction from this blog to Niciasus Fiction

I had plans on doing that particular job tomorrow. What the heck. The new Fiction Directory is complete. Boy, have I learned a little bit more about finding and using WP resources. I even attempted to style a comment form for threaded commenting until I came to my senses and found a wonderful plug-in.

Well, the stories are gone from here. Click on “Fiction” in the header or Niciasus..blah, blah Fan Fiction link to the right. You will be taken straight there.

Now, I have the horrible job of re-categorizing all the posts here, and perhaps eliminate some of the tags. This I am not looking forward to. :-(

Fiction Directory

I love this theme. It’s awesome.

For reading stories, I always thought the theme too busy and distracting but perfect for regular blog type posts. So in my need to distract me from work related stress, I created a directory to archived my stories. The theme there is plain and focus on content rather than design. It has a rotating header which I will have to find someone to replace, create ones that will highlight the fan fiction archive.

Check it out here.

TWLIB Fan Fiction

It’s a work in progress. Some of the links aren’t working properly. Comments are golden and suggestions are better.

ETA: The theme is not as plain as the original selection. :-)

Failure

Do you know what failure feels like? It’s a godawful feeling. I can tell you this. As I’m writing, I feel such failure towards doing a good job at work. The pain of failure is physical and this is what I want to describe. I’m not sure I want to say what is causing the failure because it’s personal. Perhaps therein lies the problem.

My throat is so tight just to swallow causes an ache. My head feels huge on top of my shoulders. My chest constricts with a sense of pressure that isn’t really there but feels as though it is. Writing this down, rather, typing strains the muscles at the back of my shoulders. I have an ache on the right side of my lower chest. Muted tingling sensations crawl up and down my toes and my fingers. I believe that is stress I’m putting on a body with health issues. I’m walking at a languid pace my body wants to fold over.

All of this is failure because I cannot complete one single task at work. All of them at various stages of completion. Then I’m yanked off one to go spearheading along into a new one. No one is satisfied. Performance appears low. Yet, the hours stretched long beyond the typical workday. The most important job, however, is completing documents for the upcoming meeting in which I barely can get a handle on due to other interfering commitments. It all seems an impossible task.

Complications: home life is less than desirable.

Fast and Furious Screencaps

One of my favorite movies because you know, Dom and Brian are just gorgeous and hot.  The movie wasn’t so bad either.  I really enjoyed the story considering past movies in the franchise.  But hey, we are here to see fast and awesome car scenes, hot cars, and for me Dom and Brian.  Yay!

FAF.107 FAF.051

I archived half of FAF screencaps in the gallery.  The rest will go up during the week.

Just may be the slash fan fic writers will get inspired.
