I've hardly been able to write anything but poetry for weeks now. Upside: I've been writing something, and hey, might as well work with that medium a little, why not. And in that format, it's easier to pull out something for canons that, for various reasons, I have difficulty writing prose fic for. Lookin' at you, Small Trolls and Year in Hereafter ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I last did one of those "Friday night horror film" viewings. I've missed it. <3

So, this Friday night was The Windmill. [IMDB] It's a Dutch slasher film, and while I wouldn't say it's the best I've seen in the genre, it was still a splattery good time.

☆ Writing: Finished something tonight, and got my Chocobox assignment to the uploadable stage. Worked on some other things too. Slapped down over 1k in one day for the first time in two months. Feels good! It's nice to be actively working on something.

☆ The music I bought during the Bandcamp fundraiser is excellent so far. Haven't had a chance to ( Read more... )

☆ I feel like I could write something poetic about that feeling you get when your eyelashes have beads of ice on them as you walk in the morning dark. But I'm too tired to write poetry right now. Upside: It's a little bit warmer today than it has been earlier (It was warm enough for me to take the transit today; -30C in the morning. So, that's fine ( Read more... )

☆ ONCE AGAIN it was too cold to go out. In fact, I kind of had trouble sleeping through the night, because my room is coooold. If this is going to keep up, I'll have to bring out the heavy artillery: flannel bedsheets. Gotta' wash them first, though. So it'll be that + regular quilt + two down-filled quilts. ...That should fix it. orz Arrrgh, why ( Read more... )

Holy crap, guys. Nobody told me that A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014) had such awesome cinematography ( Read more... )

I have a bunch of half-finished docs that were going to be proper film reviews, but then my attention wandered. So, instead, let's have some quick-and-dirty thoughts on some horror films I've watched in the last two months or so.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)Wow - no wonder this one is a classic. It's a film that certainly deserves that ( Read more... )

☆ I hope all of my southern neighbours on my FList have had a pleasant Thanksgiving. :D With good food and not too many awkward family moments ( Read more... )

☆ I FOUND MY HAT. (Thought you ought to know)

☆ Watched Brooklyn (2015) [IMDB] with my mum this evening. A++ great movie; lovely historical drama, also very prettily shot. It's about an Irish woman who immigrates to the USA, and what she finds there, and what she leaves behind. Basically. Happy ending, too, which is nice - though I will note that ( Read more... )
