This is A Good Day.
Things wot are good:
First and foremost, I already have lovely fic from my prompts over at the Obscure and British Comment Fest! wendymr has written a lovely, lovely gem of a fic, Messing About In Boats, and it is SO PERFECT OMG. I don't know how she packs so much into a few hundred words, but it's wonderful. ♥ (Also available here on AO3).
Second, Colin Morgan continues to be adorable. I especially love this bit: ...you won’t catch him being papped, drunk, outside a nightclub. Morgan is deadly serious about his career. “My sights have always been on acting, on the creative process, never the lifestyle,” he says earnestly. I hope I never meet him, because I will pretty much want to squeeze him and give him cookies.
Thirdly, most of you have heard of the Hawkeye Initiative, but this is an awesome example of it working in real life. Check out the story of Ruby Underboob and Brosie the Riveter.
Fourthly, stuff wot I've been watching and enjoying: Warm Bodies (I know, late to the party, but loved it!), Murder on the Homefront (there's some serious femslash potential there), and Our Girl. As an aside, I kind of love that when I enjoy an American movie these days, the stars are Brit and Australian respectively (and now I'm going to have to watch About A Boy again and remind myself Nicholas Hoult is only 23 goddamn years old. Geez.)
And finally, Minnesota passes gay marriage and Michele Bachmann is sad. So a win-win, then. \o/
