Oh! So, based on somebody's recommendation--it might have been NPR (I read a lot of NPR at work when I need a 60-second brain break, rather than listening to it on the radio, because I continue to have no auditory concentration ability at all), it might have been a RL friend, it might have been one of y'all--we've started watching Miss Fisher's ( Read more... )

Things that annoy the hell out of me ( Read more... )

I went shopping today expressly and specifically for a dressy red top. It didn't have to be red necessarily, it could have been blue or purple or some other color, but I wanted a dressy solid-colored top to go with a patterned skirt I have, for which I only have one blouse really that I cold wear with it, and that's far too summery to wear in ( Read more... )

So, having watched "Death of the Doctor," part 2, ( spoilers for Old Skool companions )

xkcd today, and having driven the Kansas-Colorado border one too many times, I would believe it.

WITHNAIL AND I. VID. From festivids.

I've completely failed to do anything for More Joy Day this year, but this? This is my joy.

Can't stay, must open presents (it's a hard life I lead; I've spent the past two days lounging about reading and petting an adoring cat), but I just had to mention the two more marvelous, wonderful, glorious fics I've received as pressies:

Stepping Southward, a Man from UNCLE fic, in which Napoleon and Illya go on a journey. Banter, and dogsleds ( Read more... )

Hoi! If you have not read it yet, go take a gander at severa's All the Trappings of the Season. It is a lovely SG-1 holiday fic in which Vala learns the True Meaning of Christmas (or something like it). And there's mistletoe. You know how well mistletoe goes with Vala. (Okay, it was written for me, so I might be a little biased about how awesome it ( Read more... )

Go, shoo, go read Recriprocal Quandaries, the first chapter anyway, of the fic I got for tardis_gen. Two, Ben, Polly, Jamie, and Two's stovepipe hat. (I did ask for silly hats in the prompt.) It's marvelous and deserves more comments ( Read more... )
