cat problems and fanvid recs
Cat lady problems: I was sitting in my desk chair scrolling through tumblr when I heard Noodles meowing to come in to my bedroom. I got up and let her in. While I was closing the door again for roommate privacy, she jumped on to the desk chair and lay down very cutely. Normally I'd deal with the cat taking my seat by sharing it with her, either by shoving her towards the back and perching myself on the front edge of the seat or by lifting her up, sitting down, and setting her in my lap. However, it is way too hot today to share a small chair with a fellow warm-blooded creature. Too much endothermy for one piece of furniture! I considered moving her from the chair to the floor or the bed, but she looked so relaxed and started purring. I considered taking the laptop to sit on the bed, but the laptop is also a source of too much heat to be on my lap right now.
So now I am kneeling on the floor to type at the desk while Noodles sleeps on the chair. It is the only logical solution.
Meanwhile, I have some fanvid recs to share! First, stop what you're doing and watch this Agent Carter/Captain America vid right now:
I love this SO MUCH. Here are Peggy and Steve, losing each other but getting on with their lives and being amazing and badass. That's what the other would have wanted, after all. The song choice is perfect and the editing is great, with so many wonderful character parallels. (I think my favorite may be when Peggy is balanced on the ledge on the outside of the building, being very careful not to fall, and then the vid cuts to Steve just throwing himself through a window way too many stories up, because he has superhuman endurance no common sense.) Bittersweet and joyful all at once, this is basically everything I want out of a Steve/Peggy vid. Here's t he vid post on LJ so you can comment to the vidder or download the vid, or on AO3 here.
Next, here is an excellent multi-era Doctor Who vid focusing on the companions, especially those whose lives we know about after leaving the Doctor or in between adventures with him.
It's so much fun, and I love the focus on the companions' lives not at all ending when they're not with the Doctor. Also, the section with the Brig and his "getting real tired of your shit, Doctor" expression is great. Here's the vid post on LJ.
Update: Noodles left the desk chair, so I claimed it back for myself. She returned and briefly attempted to sit in my lap before rapidly deciding that she agreed with my rule that until it cools down there can be only one warm-blooded organism per piece of furniture. Now I'm still in the chair and she's on the bed. Everyone is content.
