holiday cheer like light in the darkness
Exam period has started, so I'm off cramming for finals - apologies for not being around much. But I bring some cheer with me, becase we could all do with a little more happiness this time of year, right?
So! Some things that make me happy:
- The Nightmare Before Christmas OST, particularly this song:
And I adore the covers too - from Fall Out Boy to Marilyn Manson, yes yes to derivative works forever.
- Speaking of derivative works, the twelve-year-old girl inside of me will never stop loving Disney princess art. I love all the different adaptations and interpretations and styles. ♥
Princesses as superheroes!

SCARVES, god. These are the Jasmine and Ariel scarves; link also has Mulan and Tiana.
from here
All of them are stupid gorgeous and outrageously expensive. D:
- And always always Disney music. I know so many songs by heart it should be embarrassing, except I have no shame about these sorts of things.
- While still on Disney, I watched Tangled last weekend! It's soo cute and hilarious with some great songs and great lines and a gorgeous gorgeous paper lantern scene. *___* Would watch again!
- On a totally different topic, FERNANDO TORRES' SON BORN TODAY. /creeps like a creeper, but so happy for him! ontd_fb was taking bets on baby names and joking that Nando'll pull a Crispy and name the kid after himself so he won't have to get a new tattoo - already got Fernando written on his arm in Elvish, after all! (Yes, really.) But the kid's name is Leo.
- Since Olalla went into labor, Nando missed today's match against Aston Villa. BUT IT WAS OKAY. Liverpool 3-0 Aston Villa! Oh LFC, it's sad when every victory is like the biggest deal ever haha. But I am still happy - Xabi was there! Pepe's 100th clean sheet! LFC now #8 on the EPL charts, omg, highest this season. Now I just want Agger and Stevie back, please?
- NEW MACDONALD HALL FIC OMGGG: this was posted for Yuletide 2009 but I always forget to check up on it. Browsing AO3 today helped me stumble across it, you guys, you guys, I don't think I can put into words how fucking much I love Bruno & Boots and the entire MH cast, forever and ever and ever amen. ♥

Bruno/Boots, PG, 7700 words, humor
When Cathy asks for a favour, the boys of Macdonald Hall know better than to refuse. However, Bruno seems to have an agenda of his own. It all would have gone according to plan, if it hadn't been for the flesh-eating plants.
Hee, so feel-good and fun.
- On a RL note, my little brother's birthday is a week before Christmas, but being the age he is, he absolutely demands separate gifts for each occasion. Maybe it's the big sister instinct in me, or maybe it's because I hardly ever see him and feel the need to buy his affections, but I really want to spoil him and buy him everything on his wishlist haha. So far I'm 2/4. I could make it 3/4 fairly easily except, ugh, money. I could just...not eat for three days! *halo* No, kidding, it's nowhere near that bad. I'll think more on it.
- NEW HAWAII FIVE-0 TONIGHT EEEEEEEE. Does anyone actually want me to write up reaction/thought posts combined with picspam and primer-esque stuff? Because I will! But only if anyone cares to read it; otherwise I will be far too lazy. Whatever, have some recs!
- Oh and obligatory end-of-year-meme. You're in no way obligated to leave a comment, but if you want to, it would be super cool too. ♥
