I've seen so many enjoyable movies I haven't written about recently - for values of recently that include, uh, the past few months - from Mad Max to Magic Mike XXL to most recently, Spy. But tonight I saw Trainwreck and loved it and am mentioning it because a) it will probably get a little less hype than a lot of internet-hype movies, but just so ( Read more... )

I was cleaning my hard drive -- or, well, "cleaning", rewatching old videos of myself from 2004, whatever -- and I found an episode of SGA. I literally haven't watched an episode of that show since the series finale, so years, and seeing the plastic set and the glowy blue lighting and the boys and girls got me all sentimental. I just saw David ( Read more... )

I was going to maybe do stuff this evening, but man, I am sitting outside with the dog and listening to Muppets: The Green Album and it's kind of wonderfully calming. It's strangely cool for August at 23 Celsius at night, but I'm not complaining ( Read more... )

Really I just wanted to post a quick rec for Dear John (WIP Remix). I'm just gonna be lazy and copy

Oh Christ, this actually didn't crosspost because the post was too large /o\ Or something, idk. Reposting directly to LJ ( Read more... )

Having just been treated to a surprise!miarr coffee break, I am sitting in the 24-hour coffee place across the street from my apartment, otherwise known as The One With The Wifi, under the merry illusion that coffee place = free time.

Just now I watched the season premier of the Israeli Wife Swap, where the two families participating were a secular family from a kibbutz up north, and a male gay Reform couple from New Jersey. Israel!Mom ( Read more... )

--What is up with LJ? Is it acting out for everyone, or just for me? The pages take eternity loading, if at all.--This is probably a blessing in disguise since I should be studying, not reading my flist ( Read more... )

SGA Rec: okay, I know everyone on my flist who might be interested in this has already seen it linked somewhere, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless: two days ago kassrachel posted A Narrow Bridge, which is an SGA yeshiva!AU, where all the characters (almost) are Orthodox Jews. There are no words to describe this fic, other than very very awesome, and a ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, I watched Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing, which I haven't seen in a few years, and there was this nagging familiarity in seeing his portrayal of Benedick - his mannerisms really reminded me of someone, and I couldn't tell who. And then he went into this self-centered rant about love (you know, one of many), and I ( Read more... )
