No place like home
I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, it just looks like it.
I spent the weekend with the darling
monanotlisa , eating a variety of nice things and drinking a variety of teas (mainly vanilla rooibos - I can't decide if I have a preference between that and caramel rooibos, both are equally delicious although I admit that the caramel flavour is artificially added so I suppose the vanilla has a slight edge). We even ventured outside on occasion... mainly in search of other things to eat, it has to be said. We did go to the circus, but I got upset at the animals, and we'd already eaten the popcorn, so we went back to her apartment and made muffins. (Well. She made the muffins, but we both ate them. Team effort, if you will.) I do confess it is good to be home, though, despite all the real life drama that has been happening in my absence (oh, estate agents, how shite thou art!).
Fandom-wise, I've been discovering the joy of The Big Bang Theory, specifically the sweetness of Sheldon (who is only sweet on screen, if I had to know him in real life he would be the Late Sheldon Cooper), and possibly even acquiring a het ship, in the form of Sheldon/Penny. I KNOW, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I also totes ship Howard/Raj, though (and occasionally Sheldon/Leonard, and sometimes Sheldon/Raj), so I suppose all is not lost. I might even attempt fic for it, although the humour is very particular and I am still only 1/3 of the way through Brian Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos, and in any case he lost me partway through the frog-in-the-bake-tin explanation of the Higgs field.
I am also working on my
help_pakistan fic. The wonderful and generous
slowascent won me in the auction, and I will be attempting - gulp - Sherlock fic. That can't be too hard, right? I mean, I've kind of half-written several fics in my head already, I just haven't got around to writing any of them down. Er... well, I have bits of it plotted out in any case, but it turns out writing devilishly intricate and complex murder mysterious is bloody hard; who knew?
I've been on leave for the last week and a half, and have another few days of leave left. Rec me some wonderful stuff to look at online in the meantime, hmmm?
