put it on, the one that i adore
challenge #5 - scavenger hunt!
1. Something your favorite character would like
because my sister and i watched lotr over new year's, this is for sam gamgee and the little box of seasonings and good shire salt that he brought into mordor in case he wanted to roast a chicken or something.

2. Something that makes you laugh
this flavor of admitted brain fart (example: "so this lady came in this morning and walked up the front desk to greet us before gasping loudly and saying 'i forgot my dog!' she forgot to bring her dog with her. to the VET."). also brains on autopilot ("meatlong football" makes me WHEEZE laughing). also also typos.
3. A fandom place you would like to visit
so hard to find a good pic from this movie, but la of 2019, how i love thee. it's dark and wet and cluttered and crowded and such a weird conglomeration of art deco and 1940s and plastic and monumental. and deckard's apartment is played by the ennis house which was designed by frank lloyd wright and is a private house which means i'll never be able to get a tour of it.

5. Something you find comforting
i'm wearing it so i can't take a picture but it's a dark blue sweatshirt with "bolshoi" on the front in cyrillic and it belonged to my dad. (my parents went to russia years and years ago and i don't remember if they actually saw the ballet but they did go inside the building.)
8. A book or song with a color in the title
this book made me want to go to chicago. well, ok, i already wanted to go to chicago but this book made me want to go and see buildings that weren't designed by frank lloyd wright. :D most of the columbian exposition was designed to be temporary so i don't know what i thought i was going to see.
and a song because it got stuck in my head - hungry lucy, blue dress.
9. Something only someone in your fandom would understand
it's a yak. :D this seems like kind of a deep cut. (also a fandom i'm not really in any more but somehow we always end up here anyway.)

a poem in honor of the snowstorm on sunday:
If I were a bear,
And a big bear too,
I shouldn't much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn't much mind
If it snowed or friz -
I'd be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!
For I'd have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.
I'd have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws,
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I'd sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.
--"Furry Bear", AA Milne
yesterday it RAINED and all the snow MELTED. mediocre, mother nature.
there's a subreddit called organization porn. homg.
there's a creative writing group in the cia. oddly enough the writers in the group do not generally write about spies. and a cia lawyer has to vet anything they want to publish. which is not exactly a surprise.
