So, a million years ago, I was thoroughly obsessed with the tv show Without a Trace. I was looking through my show tag (oh, the nostalgia of looking back at what and how I wrote in my livejournal back in the day) and was struck again with how much I enjoyed the two of them. Of course, the show itself was mostly concerned either solving the case of ( Read more... )

* I (finally!) made shortbread and they are delicious and yummy and I have to remember to box them before bed otherwise they will be less awesome tomorrow, haha.

* I watched RENT: filmed Live on Broadway! and it's a little wiggly with the camera motions which cuts down on the scope of the stage, but it still kind of gets me every time. *sniff* ( Read more... )

I sort of wanted to post something profound and thinky due to the date, but the truth is that it didn't touch my life in any way close to the way it affected others, so I'll just let it go, shall I? It's strange to think that most of the kids I teach (almost all of the kids I teach) don't have any independent memories of 9/11, though ( Read more... )

Just when you thought I would never write in this fandom again, I wrote another RENT story. I'll wait for our gasps of surprise to subside. It's not exactly the happiest story ever (not hard with a bleak-but-hopeful source-canon) but I think still gestures towards something better.

Honestly, sometimes it seem that all I do is find lovely, hot, sexy fic on the 'net. So, I bring you two, because... I love you? Or think pr0n must be shared? Or something:

Deriving the Prime by Rageprufrock, House, House/Wilson/Cuddy. It's lovelyand amusingly snarky and so true to the characters.

Send Me Reeling by Gildedmuse, RENT, Mark/Roger/ ( Read more... )

For my own reference (and so people can poke me to finish these if they are intrigued) here are some plot bunnies in my head in varying stages of completion:

Posse Comitatus - a Firefly (caper?) fic for musesfool's Firefly-West Wing Title Challenge, which you should totally check out and do if you are aching to write some Firefly fic. Basically, the title ( Read more... )

...and this totally doesn't count. But I am alive. And doing things. Of the thing nature. Mostly this is to gratuitously show you the Mark/Mimi/Roger icon. Mmmmmm, the possibilities... XD ( Read more... )

The snowstorm (apparently named Doreen, which is cute) stopped, even though it snowed long enough so that I couldn't go to class last night. First, kiddie lit was cancelled and the roads were still too snowy and icy for me to commute into the city and guarantee that Ziggy could drive. As it were.

Moments of import:

I've been working on this for too long, so I thought I'd gut it out and get the rest in. Just in time before I sign up for RemixRedux, huzzah. I've always been intrigued by Mark and Roger (duh), but especially in the staging of "Rent". Have you seen how close they stand to each other? Unresolved sexual tension, much? OTP? Well... yes. Thus, this ( Read more... )

Hey, fans of Shakespeare and Laurence Olivier: Hamlet is playing on Turner Classic Movies RIGHT THIS SECOND. I'd forgotten how weird that movie is, and how interesting the staging/framing of shots are. Hours of discussion and explication at your fingertips. Oh, for Methods again, when we spend whole class periods discussing the musical score as a ( Read more... )
