It was that or throttle someone. It's been one of those days. On balance, I think channelling/distracting/amusing myself by scribbling Cap and sundry as characters in Magic Mike was the healthy call....

... Why am I even doing words? You're not listening.

Phew. Now that I've got all that out of my system, mostly (I'd apologise for all the sweariness, but really, it felt appropriate to the occasion), and had a chance to watch 5.01, I thought it might be fun to just play with it a bit, instead of racing breakneck through 50+ episodes of series, or even just whole seasons. Ramble around and maybe see ( Read more... )

So I'm a lazybutt and I'm not great with birthdays, but when lj informed me that not just one but two flisties were born on this day, that seemed as good a reason to celebrate as any. So, to tahirire and workerbee73, I say: I am delighted you were born and that you ended up on my flist. You both made my sojourn in fandom a rich and strange and wonderful thing, and my ( Read more... )

Recently, because bitterlimetwist gets me to WATCH ALL THE THINGS, I watched Drive. In fact, I watched it twice. The first time around, I enjoyed it but remained on my aloof fandom fence. However, the skill with which it was crafted stuck with me enough that I soon revisited it, and that time around it completely blew me away. And confused me.

Good grief, I may actually get back in the habit of my (slackly) self-imposed Random Fridays. Two in a row! Although probably not.

So last Friday I was talking about music and fandom, fanvids specifically. And that reminded me of a meta I wrote about Dean, back at the very beginning of season 7, mostly at bitterlimetwist's kind enabling encouragement, using the ( Read more... )

Friday. Time for some Random!

I love music. I'm not that musical myself, and I'm extremely haphazard when it comes to expanding my listening, but I do love it. And, correspondingly, one of the things I love about fandom is how it has contributed to my musical awareness over the years. A fair amount of the stuff I listen to came through hearing it on ( Read more... )

So, seeing as how fandom has been a somewhat prickly and carefully-navigated exercise of late, I think I need some kind of light redeememing in my life. And y'all could probably use a break too.

So, calling all flisties! Any and all fandoms (that I have any reason to suspect you'll ask me about, although if you throw me a curveball I'll take my best ( Read more... )

I am kind of going insane. Well, not *insane* insane. But I'm flying home tomorrow for a good while, and the sorting and packing is ... gah. *flail*

My head's been in transition mode (uncertain transition mode, at that) for at least a month. And when that happens, words tend to shut down somewhat. I've had a lot of movies and shows playing in the ( Read more... )

SO. I have been doing Much Stuff (final paper finished, submitted, graded, DONE!!!!!) and I haven't rambled aimlessly on here for AGES and I am Feeling The Need. Plus, I figure randomly actually posting something for Friday again might be fun.

Oh God, what is wrong with me?
