Hi! So, I've moved, and the partner and I are now living in Scotland and starting (finally!) at university.
( rambling about changing my degree )

I can't sleep and there's a chocolate chip pound cake in the oven, which I fully expect to be delicious.

I've read the first half of Too Wise To Woo Peaceably by McKay (Harry Potter, Snape/Harry) and am taking a break to write this post before reading the third and fourth chapters. Probably everyone in the world has read this story - it's a ( Read more... )

TV I'm currently enjoying:
1. Amanda Redman a.k.a. New Tricks. I know this show is MOR and aimed at old people, but I still enjoy it. I still want All The Fic of Sandra Pullman. Roll on Yuletide!

I've stopped watching Skins Fans because it was boring ( Read more... )

Another month, another theme for my self-enforced fic reading! March is for Harry Potter fic, specifically stories focussed on Dumbledore.

My 'To read' list is getting out of control! I hoped to clear it up this summer, but all I've done is managed to expand it. In the Harry Potter pile, the largest, there are 138 fics, of varying length, rating and pairing. I'm an onlooker, not a participator, but I feel like you never quite reach the centre of fandom - there are always more recs ( Read more... )
