I read an article this week that basically scorned the whole #adulting tag as people wanting applause for doing what's required of them as adults, and how they should get over themselves. Sure, I can understand how people might find it annoying, but I'd like to throw another light on it ( Read more... )

I'll be over here sofa-dancing because SEASON TWO OF AGENT CARTER IS A GO! Now, give me a season one DVD set, please ( Read more... )

Where I am in Australia, we actually got it a little early - the posters all said the 23rd, my little cinema showed a 3D screening at 8:30 and a 2D one at 9 on the evening of the 22nd, yesterday. It's so weird, I never get to see anything first, since a lot of films and tv shows take months to get here, and I've never seen things when they first ( Read more... )

The lady at the takeaway shop chose the wool that she wanted from my brand new Bendigo Woollen Mills 2013 colour card, and paid me for the yarn on the spot. So I came home and ordered it off the internet, and it should get here next week ( Read more... )

This is indeed very photo heavy, so if you're on a slow plan, you might want to skip this, or wait until you're in offpeak or something. I haven't posted all the pics here, purely because you'd have to load them all at once, and that's a pain in the arse, so they're in a photoset on Emma's Flickr account, and you can click on the thumbnails as you ( Read more... )

I loved it. I mean, I know there diversions from canon, and lots of added exposition from the appendices and other Tolkien canon, but I loved it all. (I never knew the origins of Thorin's name! Was so thrilled at that added detail ( Read more... )
