☆ WELL, I might as well take the time to wish a happy Easter to those who celebrate it. ...And a happy upcoming discount chocolate day for the rest of us. ;p
☆ Last night's horror film was The Exorcism of Emily Rose [IMDB]. This is one that I'd wanted to see in cinema when it was first released, but couldn't because I didn't have transport. So, it was nice to see it now. It was a lot different from what I expected; less horror film, more courtroom drama. I expected it to be the other way around. Anyway - it was a pretty good film, I think. Maybe not a must-see, but good. Demon possession/exorcism films don't usually do it for me, but I enjoyed this one. I would also go so far as to say that I think it might be a good horror film for people who don't usually like horror films, because the court element makes it a lot different from the usual stuff that's out there. So if you like courtroom drama, it might be one to look at.
☆ I made the mistake of searching for yarn on Etsy. Oh no. Oh noooo. Look at these, the craftperson is located in my province and those colourways are gorgeous, oh no. Look at this one, isn't it beautiful?! And this one! ...Their work is balls-expensive and I always hate not being able to touch the stuff before I buy it but oh nooooo.... And of course that's just one shop out of many. Sob. (I shouldn't even be looking at yarn. I have plenty of yarn. Just, not much in the weights and colours that I want to work with right now. Ain't that always how it goes.)
☆ Speaking of knitting, arrrgh I want to keep going with this one project, but I'm working with DPNs and I need something longer, and the circs I ordered probably won't arrive for like a week at best, this is horrible. Pity me, everybody. ;V Nah, I'm just whining, but it really sucks when you want to go full speed ahead with something and end up having to pace yourself instead.
☆ aRTD: Note to self, put together a batch of icons (...after you fulfill the SSSS icon challenge. Better get started on that). Also, there was a fic on the ao3 RSS feed today, and it wasn't written by me! Wynnebat posted a drabble about Ville and learning to be human, and it is bite-sized and lovely: To Open at the Close. It reminds me that this is just one of the many aspects of aRTD that hasn't been explored in fanwork much - how difficult it would be for Ville to adjust to that, what he'd miss, how he probably would enjoy being human but there would also be moments when it would just be so hard. So much potential there.
☆ SSSS: This week's Stand Still, Stay Silent has been intense and oh man, p499 is such a cliffhanger. Just. What. Creeping giant and flaming jellytrolls. Okay. And there's still a ton left of the chapter to go. I am so ready for this. Also, so far
ssss is going pretty well on the discussion-post front, and I'm really happy about that.
☆ SSSS Fics: I managed to smash through whatever bad mood was giving me difficulty writing, and slapped down 2k in two days. Result was Fortuity (Mikkel & Sigrun gen, 800 words, set after p498 so now jossed I guess), and also Sky Full of Stars (Reynir/Lalli, 18+, 1.2k, PWP). Aaaand I usually only read fic on Sundays due to scheduling, but somebody filled one of the prompts on the SSSS Comm's prompt thread, and I just couldn't resist: Adrenaline Might Be Involved by Innin (Sigrun/Emil, 18+, 1.6k, PWP). It's hot and it has everything I love about those two and if you like that pairing, goooo reeead iiiit, it's great.
