another self-promotion and a bunch of links, and david krumholtz has the best hair
work today was SO SLOW. some stuff to do in the morning, some stuff at the last minute at night, and in the middle, a lot of nothing. if the rest of the summer is like this, i'm going to be, uh, really bored.
it's another day of self-promotion! woop. :D
3. Something you made for someone else
the price of fixing a shingle, which i wrote for an anonymous wisher on insmallpackages who wanted j2, gentle h/c on a cold night. so i wrote a timestamp for the gangster story and sprained jensen's ankle. he falls off the roof. in the course of my research i learned a bit about the rural electrification administration, which was one of roosevelt's new deal programs and brought electricity to rural farms. (as jared and jensen had settled in flagstaff, az.) i also learned that pluto was discovered at flagstaff's lowell observatory.
after i posted the fic i also learned that the anonymous wisher was actually embroiderama, and when i asked my flist what they thought "gentle h/c" entailed, and she answered, she knew exactly why i was asking. that was pretty neat.
factlet about the fic: jared names the dogs fay and mae, after actresses fay wray and mae clarke. things you would never know if i didn't tell you. :D
check out this adorable vardo. it's so blue!
in news of the nifty&disgusting, an artist has used a 3d printer to recreate van gogh's severed ear. she used live cells from his great-grandson. i'm kind of grossed out - i mean, it's an ear! suspended in a solution that will apparently keep it alive for a couple years! - and kind of impressed. i'm starting to feel kind of like i live in one of william gibson's sprawl novels.
have a hot tattooed guy i saw on tumblr. for reasons. :D
maleficent cupcakes! so pretty and so evil. i have no desire to see the movie - my maleficent is and will always be the animated one, who scared the crap out of me when i was a wee thing - seriously, she turned into a dragon and she was terrifying - but i like the way it's influencing baked goods.
five reasons the winter soldier would make a terrible boyfriend - aside from being, you know, fictional. and if he didn't have steve. (or natasha, if you ship that way.)
