I was seriously considering calling in sick this morning - yup, slept badly again last night. Dozed, turned, dozed, turned, dozed... *rolls eyes* Oh yeah, and I kept dreaming snippets of Pitch Black. No, not the "monster in the dark" bits (they weren't that scary), more character interaction stuff. I felt a bit better after I had my tea this morning, though, so decided that I'd go in and I could still go home if I felt too bad. So far it's mostly okay. I guess I'll survive, then. ;)

The reason why I dreamed Pitch Black was that I saw it for the first time last night, finally. I of course have already seen The Chronicles of Riddick several times - yes, because Karl's in it :) - and have been curious to see PB since then. I must say I quite like them both, particularly the sense of humour that runs through. I also like Vin Diesel - not only from what I've seen of him in these two films, but also from some talk show appearance I happened to catch last year. He was promoting that film - sorry, can't remember the title - where he plays a mafia guy who decides to defend himself in court. Vin doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, which I always like in people. :)

*yawn* Right. Work... *sigh*

Oooh thank you - started reading (first three chapters) and it's intrigueing! Heh, yeah I guess I can understand the author regarding CoR. Now if they had let Jack live, okay, but to kill her... *shakes head*

Oh, I found a fantastic Riddick/Firefly crossover! No pairings but it's really well written and the characterizations are pretty spot on.

Yes you were right, Vaako did say "Dame" - seems I just misheard it! Ahaha yes, I'd definitely figure her the biting/scratching etc. type!

Dammit, I re-watched CoR and now I want to re-watch PB again... :)

I'm glad you like 'Apprentice' so far. It only gets better!

BTW, if the background bothers you, you can also read it here. That's where I first read it, back in the day. I started reading at night and I read straight on till morning. I got about half-way through the entire story in one night. :)

Riddick/Firefly sounds good. I read a Riddick/Darth Maul fic once. That was actually the first graphic slash fic I ever read. It's not on the net anymore, because the author went pro.

You should buy the PB DVD. And I should rewatch mine again. :) I uploaded my Riddick icon again, especially for the occasion. *g*

Ah thanks - so far the background doesn't bother me much.

Heh, that sounds interesting too. I can give you the Riddick/Firefly link when I get home, if you're interested?

Oh yeah, just added PB to my Amazon Wishlist, might get it soon. And omg. There's a 2-disc edition of CoR with a commentary - featuring Karl among others... adlkjfaödjfasdfimsoreplacingmy1-disceditionalskhdföadf!!!

Aaaahahhaa LOVE your icon! :D

I'd love to have the Riddick/Firefly link!

Ohhh, a Karl commentary?! *salivates* There's a Vin Diesel commentary on the PB DVD, which is great. He's such a fun guy.

omfg why did I have to go back to work?! This story is soo good, I just wanted to keep on reading! They're at the clinic now, and that orderly has just marked himself a dead man... *eg* Oh and the doctor who treats Jack is very close to the truth... *gulp* Poor Riddick isn't having an easy time around Jack - and I'm sure it will get worse! ;)

I started reading it again after I gave you the link as well, but I'm a very slow reader. I only got to chapter 5 so far. I bet you weren't surprised Riddick turned out to be the captain of the freight-ship. :) What chapter are you on now? The scenes at the clinic are SOOO good, though it's not so nice for poor Jack and Riddick.

I got until somewhere in the middle of 19 before I had to go back to work... I'm a quick reader! And no, I certainly wasn't surprised, heh. :D

I'm SO tempted to continue reading right here, but I have to resist until I get home... *twitches*
