I'm watching Dexter (don't worry, I'm abiding by the results of the poll, but Rome and Six Feet Under weren't available to stream) and waiting for my parents to arrive for the weekend. I'll probably have thoughts on Dexter next week, but for now, here's some other recs.

( Movies! )

Okay, let's get this out of the way: I suck at this game. I had all these intentions to rec stuff regularly, but... eh... not so much. It's partly my own malaise - if I'm not enjoying fic as much, then I don't feel compelled to tell you about it. Either that, or I only remember to do this around seasonal_spuffy rounds, because that's the last time I did a rec ( Read more... )

Another rec post, because I don't know about you guys, but I needed a reminder that there's still good fic being written. I'd be surprised if anyone on my flist hasn't already read these fics, but oh well. I'll rec 'em anyway.

I bring fic recs! I know, you all thought I'd forgotten about it. I didn't, I swear. I've just had other things on the brain besides fic.

What? How?" And I'm never quite sure if these fics are so popular because people don't care that they're bad, as long as it pushes their buttons, or if they ( Read more... )

A few random things that I've been meaning to post...

First, thanks to all of you who responded to my request for birthday present suggestions. I'm sure you're all dying to know what I got my mother. :) I went with a combination of classy plus practical and gave her jewelry (a necklace/earrings set) and a hair styling product that she really likes, ( Read more... )

Wow, thanks to everyone who responded to my last post with their fic preferences and recs! I didn't expect such an overwhelming response. I figured I'd collect all the links that were posted, in case anyone would like some additional recs, but doesn't want to slog through 80+ comments to find them. (It also makes it easier for me to find them when ( Read more... )

When I expressed shock and horror at the prospect of reading actual books,
