Halloo, I hope everyone had some happy new year times. I had a pretty damn fun new year's eve at my unofficial-father-in-law's you-can-sleep-after-breakfast partay. Even though I had a wicked cold that I'm still getting over. Some random things:
-Naturally I was pretty excited that there were a couple DMS fics for Yuletide. I'm supposed to be pimping that fandom for the current round at
smallfandomfest and kept putting it off, and now I'm kind of glad I did so it looks like there's slightly more of a fandom to pimp.
-I'm really into Howlin' Wolf lately. I've always liked blues music but for me his stuff goes beyond its usual "fun" category and into "This song is so perfect I am going to cry." (By the way I don't think I can ever hear "Smokestack Lightnin" without thinking of that scene in Misfits when Nathan struts on the roof in his underwear - and I'm going to laugh if I'm just making it up in my mind that that song plays there.) And yeah, I totally worked in "Spoonful" in that Stand fic I just posted because I can, though I had to do some googling to look into whether the song really works well at all on solo guitar because a lifetime of my dad's rocking has taught me nothing :/
-I will totally be watching
The Americans when it premieres. YES.
-Aidan Turner looks much hotter with more hair, I want to know if we all agree on this. I'd seen a lot of gifs/pictures of him before The Hobbit but totally didn't recognize it was him. Also apparently he is from Dublin, be still my heart, etc.
