I have done all the things. April is always an exceedingly busy month on my end, but this year, for some reason, it was exceptionally so.

I've signed up for holmestice (because another deadline is just what I need), submitted my end-of-year dissertation's first draft to my study director (which is due in June, because more deadlines! mother of god), saw a

I was blown away by Ruffalo's acting. No one was expecting him to be this good, I gather, or to give such depth to a character that had previous been rather under- or ill-represented, but he gave the Banner the perfect twist of humanity and humility he needed to make him stand out. & yeah, I didn't quite get the passion for Hiddles at first, but it turns out he's just one of the most adorable creatures on earth. Loki'd! Bless. ♥

(And you will be most welcome! Come to Londonnnn.)

Ngg, that sounds. Harsh. Here, more Baldwin to balance it out, some:

"He stood up, standing in the center of the room, under the light, looking at me. I stood up, too, half-smiling, but also, in some strange, dim way, a little frightened.

'Viens m'embrasser,' he said.

I was vividly aware that he held a brick in his hand, I held a brick in mine. It really seemed for an instant that if I did not go to him, we would use these bricks to beat each other to death.

Yet, I could not move at once. We stared at each other across a narrow space that was full of danger, that almost seemed to roar, like a flame.

'Come,' he said.

I dropped my brick and went to him. In a moment I heard his fall. And at moments like this I felt that we were merely enduring and committing the longer and lesser and more perpetual murder."

This book, Nad. I have no words; he's stolen them all.

Loki'd! I finally caught a video clip of that on the Internet, and oh my gosh this man. I'd seen all the gifs on tumblr but I didn't understand. I do now, though! He is adorable. Did you see that interview of him where he was speaking Spanish? Loki tiene el corazón partido, he says. Ugh. He is just so. And this cast, I can't. They're perfect.

Rrrrrgh I need to get this book. Will it make me cry, though? Should I have a box of tissues nearby? :P I borrowed Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy from the library but I haven't been able to get into it. I'm too, I dunno, restless. I keep getting distracted. by the Avengers. (also it looks like a thinking book, and my brain is totally on vacation, ha.)

I wish we'd been able to read this sort of thing in school, though. :\ The last book I remember reading for class was... Gulliver's Travels, which. er. wasn't a favorite, I guess.

So! Are you done with school for now, then? Are you on break? I have an awfully short break and I'm spending most of it sending telepathic messages to the government + my uni to hurry the crap up with my financial aid please and thank you T_T

I saw that one! Livin' la vida Loki, yeah? He's ridiculous. They're all ridiculous - Renner and Johansson's flirting is all over the place, RDJ is the worse troll ever and Hiddles is just busy being adorable at everything. Also, swcharma.

I'm halfway through it and I've already been teary-eyed twice, so yes, pack the tissues. Worth it, though. TTSS is great but it definitely is a thinking book, so maybe stick with the Baldwin for now? It's much smoother to read, at any rate.

On break, god, no. School finishes in late June in France, and I've my 85-pages dissertation to finish by the fifteenth. Sad to say, but my involvement online will be a little limited beyond my own journal and sherlock_rant, tbh, this place is cathartic and my flist. D:D I love what I'm working on, I really do, but it's about to eat up my life.

Good luck, darling! Administration issues are always horrible in university.

eta: damnit. sorry for the multiple edits, dear - my code is being wonky. hai links.

This cast is fantastic; I don't think I've ever loved an entire cast so much. And yes to the Renner and Johansson interviews, ahaha, and just, even the fact that he presented her with her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? And have you heard that shawarma sales in the US apparently skyrocketed after this movie? I can't blame them - I have a craving for them, myself.

Baldwin's definitely on my reading list. It may have to wait, though. I'm not sure when I can get to the library, and then summer term will be starting, argh, and then I'll be too swamped with work to do much of anything.

85-page dissertation, oh, bless you. Good luck. I know you can do it! And it'll be brilliant and fantastic and your professors will love it all :D

I know, aren't they? My previous uni was a bit more... punctual with these things, though. This one needs to get its act together.

haha, hey, no worries. i still get confused with the new lj things, so. :\

THEY ARE. Did you see the interview - in Russia, I think? - where the platform they're seated on moves? at some point Hiddles starts fiddling with the commands and makes the thing swish to and fro and they all go WHEE and act like complete and utter dorks, I love it. Hiddleston is wearing a very form-fitting waistcoat in that one, if it helps jar your memory.

Ahahaha, I have my dissertation, an essay, my Holmestice fic, and my finals to be working on during the next... five weeks. It'll be like a near-death experience.

My admin troubles are never over. There a perpetual war between the Sorbonne offices and my brain. :§ Hopefully yours will be resolved a little sooner, though.

[fireblazie]

I had not seen that one, no, so I went looking for it! It's a German interview, and aha, so that's where those pictures of Hiddles in the waistcoat came from! (Believe me, they're all over tumblr. And rightfully so!) Ahahaha, god, that was an extraordinarily awkward interview (...I still don't know what pony advertising is. er.) but seeing those boys act like complete and utter dorks - worth it.

Oh, that sounds. painful. I'm sorry :\ It'll be over before you know it, though! Five weeks from now you'll wake up and go, what the hell was that. In my own experience, anyway.

I've got my fingers crossed, but I doubt it. It seems as though they're working in terms of seniority, so the older students get their issues resolved first, while the baby students are left hanging. Not cool :\
