Went to see Hot Fuzz again last night, because yes, it is just that damn good. On the second viewing, I've decided I definitely prefer it to Shaun Of The Dead, not necessarily because it's a better made film (though it probably is, to be honest) but because of the genre it's set in. Because, while they're both comedies, they are also both loving ( Read more... )

Went to see Hot Fuzz last night. I suggest that everyone see it as soon as is humanly possible, because it is genius. After that I got drunk, which was also good ( Read more... )

Vampirates! Finally, a webcomic that doesn't make me choose between booty looters and the smexy undead. 'Bout time, is all I can say.

NO I AM TOTALLY NOT AVOIDING THE STUFF I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, WHY DO YOU ASK?

An earnest question: how many liquer-filled chocolates would you have to eat to get drunk? Enough that you'd die of chocolate poisoning first?

I was packing up some books earlier, to move from my parents' house to mine, and I somehow ended up sitting down and reading through the entirety of Johnny The Homicidal Maniac (the Director's Cut, that is ( Read more... )

Bleh, I'm sick. My throat hurts and my nose is stuffed up and my head feels like it's packed with bubble wrap (which would be kind of cool) and I can't hear properly from my left ear for some reason. Also, I read this fic last night that totally squicked me, which is weird because I'm usually pretty unsquickable, and it's still sort of stuck in my ( Read more... )

I think my writing brain is coming back! After months of absolute creative drought, I'm getting ideas again and - more importantly - I have an idea of how to get them down on paper in a way that isn't cringeful. And I've found myself wanting to fic for manga I've read recently, which hasn't happened in way too long. It's something of a relief, ( Read more... )

Patrick Wolf is so fucking cool. I advise everyone to listen to his stuff - here's a sample, if you need an incentive!

I love this guy. So incredibly weird and screwed up and talented! X3

PSA for the interested:Finally I've found more +Anima scanlations, continuing on after Toriyama's World left off. I'm sure some of my flist read that manga, so for anyone who's interested, the group scanlating are here ( Read more... )

This is my new favourite website. It makes both the science geek and the satire lover in me extremely happy. :)

Today at work I burned myself twice, sliced the skin off the top of my finger and somehow got a three-inch bruise on my hip without noticing. I also broke a door (don't ask). Just glad I have the day off tomorrow!
