Okay I HAVE to sign up for yuletide tonight but also gah I am TIRED and want sleep and to be rested for the upcoming week! I've just spent 2 hours reviewing the fandom lists and narrowing it down to 29 that I can either request or offer, but now it's time to actually nominate and I have to... do that thing where you choose. And I can't even trust ( Read more... )

I am going to Avengers tomorrow! I don't want to jinx it with only 12 hours to go, but I am pretty proud of the steps I've taken to avoid spoilers, which were basically: remove twitter and tumblr shortcuts from my phone so I wouldn't be tempted to check in, and basically not log into the internet for anything other than work, news, AO3, and like ( Read more... )

Yesterday I ended up staying home sick instead of working and slept until literally after sundown, but after some chicken soup I snuggled up with the comfort of Yuletide fics.

I received the following wonderful story as my gift:

Things I've enjoyed recently other than the Photography Marathon:

1. EVERYTHING BRITISH ROYALTY. I don't know, guys. I watched the entirety of The Crown, then rewatched The King's Speech and The Queen because idk I guess I just need more Elizabeth in my life? What even. I started watching Victoria too, on a roll and all, but quit pretty quickly; ( Read more... )

1. Watched Thor: Ragnarok last night and enjoyed it a ton, as expected. Feel free to talk at me, or headcanon me, or... whatever you want. It's not a spoiler that Bruce Banner/Hulk are in this movie, and as one who does not usually enjoy his portrayal of Bruce nor Bruce's character in general in the MCU, after the movie I immediately re-recced a ( Read more... )

So hey! Many years ago I picked up this novel about a couple of Biblical characters was was really excited about it and said:I finished reading Kings III today. I was going to write a huge post of squee, in enormous capslock, raving about just how much this book was written for meeeeee and oh my god I love it so much and oh the characters and oh ( Read more... )

This should have been an instarec, but it's taken me too long for it to actually count as insta-anything. BUT: Yidlife Crisis - I'm guessing some of you might have already known about this short webseries, and some of you may have encountered it, as I did, when Mayim Bialik guest starred in their latest episode a week ago, which I am glad to see ( Read more... )

Okay, I enjoyed my yuletide gifts so much that I actually thought I might be disappointed by the rest of yuletide, but of course I was wrong, because there is so much excellent fic this yuletide, and I haven't even read a quarter of my Marked to Read tabs. I will maybe make a rec post but unfortunately don't see that happening before reveals, nor, ( Read more... )

Had a day off from work today, which I spent mostly in bed, not doing many things I had planned to but catching up on Quantico and reading fic. Quantico remains the most bizarre hybrid of Grey's Anatomy/How to Get Away With Murder and Homeland, and basically has nothing going for it except for cliffhangers and Priyanka Chopra being breathtaking in ( Read more... )

If you need two hours of soothing, interesting, awesome, adorable and informative animal videos narrated by David Tennant, watch BBC's 2-part documentary Pets: Wild at Heart. Beautiful footage, awesome facts, lots of puppies, and a cool insight into the wild instincts, their origins and purpose, of domesticated pets ( Read more... )
