Whose side are you on? What side is this anyways?
One of these days (possibly tomorrow) I am going to make a proper update post but tonight it's going to be another collection of links and other happy-making things.
1. Last Olympics hurrah - Fantastic, awe-inspiring pictures here at Big Picture Olympics, Part Two (and Part One)
Oh, and if this picture of Jaysey-Jay Anderson hugging his daughters after winning his medal doesn't melt your heart... well, you have no soul. ;)
2. I wrote a story last week, for the occasion of dotfic's birthday! It's a Band of Brothers ficlet and so apparently even though I can't write recent semi-RPF (like when it comes to Generation Kill), I have no problem with historical semi-RFF? Heh.
Title: A Hunter's Moment of Weakness
Fandom: Band of Brothers
Characters: Ronald Speirs, Eugene Roe
Rating: G
Wordcount 500 words
Summary: A vignette set post-Bastogne, where Eugene Roe’s powers of observation bring him into close contact with Captain Speirs. (otherwise known as Speirs is badass in his usual disconcerting fashion and Roe is the best at comfort of the platonic sort)
Growing up, Gene remembers his granpa’s old hunting dogs limping off to lick their wounds after tangling with the wrong hog in the woods.
3. like a lot of people, I have fallen in love with Florence and the Machine's music and although I love Rabbit Heart and Dog Days are Over, the two songs of her stuck in my head at the moment are Cosmic Love and My Boy Builds Coffins
Other songs I'm enjoying at the moment
- Kid Cudi ft MGMT - Pursuit of Happiness
- Passion Pit - Moths Wings
- AR Rahman - Roobaro (from the film Rang De Basanti (Paint i Yellow) - as soon as I track down a copy of it - I saw it with an Indian friend - I'm spamming you guys with screencaps because aahjgaaakhj, such a good movie and it's definitely going on my Yuletide list for next year)
4. And via ignipes - HBO is commissioning a full series of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series. Yay, epic, dark fantasy! I read the first three books a long time ago, so I think a reread is in order, plus actually reading A Feast For Crows.
5. .... erm, I may have started watching The Vampire Diaries. Like I need another show *headdesk* In its defense, it has good female characters, snark about Twilight and a smirky, remorseless vampire played by Ian Somerhalder.
