My computer got frelled yesterday, which is entirely my own fault - I've been using the power button way too often. Oh well. I just handed it in to the computer place, and they said they might get it fixed in two weeks or so. So don't count on me much for the next two weeks (And of course I can't fic or see any new stuff.

So, after I posted my rec of Nina's Heavenly Delights, a commenter pointed out that a lot of people seem to hate the movie. Which made me sad, and also ashamed for liking it, which, why do I do that?

jadelennox and I had one of those fun conversation that started with yuletide and moved on to the etymology of mazel tov, the number of religious vs. sexual curses in Sweden, the use of the word "fucking" in a movie title, said movie, and gay rights in Sweden vs. the US.

Yesterday, I spent some time ordering new books online for the library. One of the books I chose was called Lill-Zlatan och morbror raring. The description spoke of a girl who becomes jealous when her beloved uncle suddenly has a new friend, Steve. She does everything to scare him off (pours sugar on his shoes, etc), but discovers in the end that ( Read more... )
