(using my shirtless dude (Jared Leto actually) icon for Reasons)
O hai internet, these are just things I want to put down somewhere and can't on tumblr.
- man my TV schedule is p great right now! SPN and I have sort of parted ways fannishly and I am now mostly watching it like I would any other TV show, which may mean I have to prune my dash soon, although half of it is 1D and Marvel these days anyway. But Bitten is fucking awesome and I want to marry whoever is adapting it so faithfully from the book (I am a Harry Potter fan okay, I have a lot of trust issues about adaptations); I am about to watch Black Sails because pirates! and lesbians! and all from the people who did Spartacus! so it can only be excellent; Adventure Time and My Little Pony continue to be bright cheerful funny little stress-relievers; Agents Of SHIELD is getting a Sif and a robot dude and a Stan fucking Lee to go with its cute little main cast; and Call The Midwife is back and being all feel-good and power-of-human-spirit-y. \o/
- I went to see Coriolanus last night and oooooohhh man is my Hiddleston situation out of control. As a play it was compelling, though perhaps a little too sparse and full of telling and not showing? IDK, it would probably have done better as a movie with like montages though so it was more understandable how, say, the second half could go from "YEAH THIS DUDE IS GREAT" to "FUCK THIS GUY HE'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED HIM TO DO >:(" in like five minutes. As a vehicle for an actor I am fannish about it had sword fights and see-through robes and shower scenes and kisses (loooots of kisses, and I'm sorry but regardless of character context dudes kissing will always make me happy because woo, textualise that subtext! represent those queer stories! make the play your own and do something different!) and also Tom Hiddleston's general existence, so that was A+++. When I got back my mother had sent me an email with a first line consisting solely of "OMG"s, which is adorable and makes me glad I at least have someone in RL who understands. (I literally haven't crushed this hard on a dude like...ever, and I realised the other day it's not some weird sexuality crisis thing it's just that I haven't crushed this hard on a dude ever, because my 13 year old crush on Orlando Bloom was still pretty innocent and since then it's been aesthetically attractive band dudes who should make out with each other and ladies ladies ladies)
- I am supposed to have two t-shirts arriving soon (the calendar was printed after they were but arrived two days ago >: |) which I think I might take as my birthday present to myself given the frankly extortionate pricing to have them printed and sent over here from America.
- I may have figured out what I want to do with my life, after realising that most science jobs are in fact often sitting around staring at printouts of molecular stuff or whatever, and that is "reproductive science" or making new life, which like DUDE, and helping it be the best new life it can be. Look, I read Dragonsdawn at an impressionable (ehe) age okay, if I can't Do Science by creating new life then I don't wanna know. Well, unless it's stem-cell research or other genetic-y things or premature baby things or reproductive health (FUCK YOU UTERUS AND THE ZINC TABLETS YOU RODE IN ON I WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND). Or other advances in like biotechnology and cool shit like that I guess. But yes :D
See, posiitive blogging 2k14! And after I watch Black Sails it'll be Battleship again because damnit I am serious about this Femslash Feb thing >: |
