Well, well, well.
☆ Signups for 
trickortreatex are open! (And my letter is here.) I'm so excited for this exchange, you guys. I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that somebody will request some horror in a canon that I can write; that would be so cool. But if not... still fun! The low minimum is so freeing. <3 And I remember that I really enjoyed treating for it last year. (I'm still really pleased with that Ex Machina fic, honestly.)
☆ I should (keyword, should) be getting access to the extra phone again tonight. I think. WHICH MEANS... PokeGo time. YESSS. I'm so excited for the update that I've been hearing about, oh man. It sounds great. While I've heard some lukewarm response on certain things (mainly people disappointed about the distance you have to walk in order to get candy) it doesn't sound like much trouble for me, because my nightly circuit is roughly 5km anyway. Though, soon I'm going to have to buy some reflectors or something, to wear when I go out, because it's starting to get pretty dark really early up here, and safety is a concern. Not a big deal, though.
☆ SSSS fandom had an awesome, unexpected reveal yesterday. :D We finally have a first name and character design for Grandma Hotakainen - Ensi Hotakainen. SHE LOOKS SO COOL! I was so excited, I just had to whip up something quick*. And Folie wrote something too - go read it, it's great. I hope we'll get more information about her in the future; what little we currently have to go by makes her seem like she's a character who'd be very much to my taste. I love tough older women.
☆ Found myself listening to the Frozen soundtrack this afternoon, and got knocked over with a whole bunch of feelings. Wham, right in the kisser! Yes, yes, "Let It Go" is super overplayed, but... man, I still love it. Probably because I over-identify with Elsa to an almost embarrassing degree, but I've heard that's not unusual. Looks like I'm due for a rewatch - especially since there will probably be some requests for Trick or Treat, and while I'd love to write for it, I'm not sure I can manage that without doing canon review. Come to think of it, my Ideas doc has several personal fics that I wanted to write but never got around to, as well. Some day, some day....
☆ I FINALLY figured out how to sign in to the library and, among other things, borrow ebooks. SCORE. I WIN. Usually I prefer paper anyway, but this is great for travel. And for, like, cases where the books are basically bricks (here's looking at you, later portions of the Harry Potter series....) Unfortunately, there are also a lot of bricks that I want to read that aren't in the ebook system. One of said bricks is With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz; after discovering that the library had the novel (but unfortunately not the film as well), I went to take a look and... oh dear. Um. It's huge. And my arms were already full of other books. xD Some day I will grab that bigass hardcover and cart it home, but er, not this week, thank you. There's also this one biography of Van Gogh; it looks amazing and the only reason I haven't read it yet is because it's enormous and hardcover and weighs over a kilogram.
☆ I spent more money than I should have on indie fragrance sample vials. My brain is telling me I should know better. My nose is excited about autumn limited editions. The nose wins - this time. Really though, I'm super excited (argh, just wish that the mail didn't take so long to get here) - last year, Traveling Vardo had some real winners.
