For no reason I can determine, I have been "awarded" a free subscription to the sort of gay-themed men's magazine that is mailed to me in an opaque wrapper (not porn, as such, but containing some suggestive content). I am perplexed! It's not so much that I object to ads featuring a pair of skinny, pretty, scantily clad young men straddling or licking a small tree (I think it's selling me sunglasses? IDK). I am just concerned that my post-office delivery person is going to think I am a pervert. Which I am. Just not in a postal delivery-type manner....
In other things making me happy news:
-speaking of postal delivery, kat_lair received her package, so I can show y'all pictures of the scarf: the scarf on chair shot, Cable detail , and Hey, look, now she's getting all "artistic" . (fellow knitters/crocheters: if you are on Ravelry , I just got set up - I'm Sadiane over there, too. And it looks like a great dorky crafting resource.)
- 4 more days to my vacation! M and her mother are going off galavanting in Las Vegas. I am remaining home with the cat and the laptop and steadfastly refusing to leave the house for five days (fun! For real!) Plans so far involve lots of fanfic, and possibly "Slings and Arrows". Or "Twitch City". Or both, depending on if I want to sleep a lot. Any of my C6D people feel like making a case one way or the other?
-People seem to be remaining highly civil in the current dS kerfuffle. I am attempting to stay out of it - I'm too multishipper for OTP/ pairing superiority-type flailing. Plus, I love ALL of them in ALL permutations....
- I shall also point out that this has been an AMAZING WEEK for podfic, and direct y'all to the following examples:
general_jinjur's reading of resonant8's Teeth of the Hydra . (dS, Fraser/Ray K). SGA podfic fans all know and love Jinjur's recordings, and it's interesting to hear her read in a different fandom. Fascinating story, Kowalski-centric, sweet and funny and sad and hot, like all of Resonant's fic.
nos4a2no9's recording of cesperanza's The Border Between Life and Death . (dS, Fraser/ Ray K). Nos knows of my absurd fondness for her podfic recordings. Somehow, she "gets" Kowalski in a way that works for me every time. Try running these two stories back to back: it gets you two VERY different but brilliantly drawn takes on Kowalski.
Also, rheanna27's recording of her Big Bang story, The Hard Prayer (SGA, John/Rodney). This story is amazing , an apocafic AU with all sorts of interesting insights into these beloved characters. Her John and her Rodney are SO messed up and so heartbreakingly believable, and you just sit there and WANT for them. Plus, her voice is gorgeous! (The accents get me every time)
- On my TV tonight- "House": I am not sure when this happened, but Kutner and Taub have become my favorite part of the show. I don't ship them, at all, but I tune in every week to watch them interact and try to figure each other out. Also, Dr. Chase: please to be taking a bath! It's less "hot scruffy guy" and more "homeless guy, could be pretty after decontamination?"
