Because most of today was craptastic, so I should jot down some things that weren't -

☆ I listened to last year's Eurovision music all through today, and I'm starting to get kind of pumped for the next one, even though it's still quite a few months away. <3 It's something to look forward to, at least. A lot of the 2016 songs have grown on me a TON ( Read more... )

☆ Spent almost the entire day at the library yesterday. Sweet. Good times. It's so cozy in there. Anyway, I picked up Thomas King's The Back of the Turtle, which I've been meaning read for a while. Also found a book on the cultural history of Chinese cuisine, and that looks pretty interesting - hopefully it'll actually be as cool as it looks. Ooh, ( Read more... )

So, the works in Silent Night Exchange were revealed yesterday! 59 works in the collection as of this posting, wow. We managed to get everyone at least two gifts, which is awesome. <3 This fandom is crazy enthusiastic! And there are more for A Redtail's Dream than I was expecting - of course, the majority of the works are for Stand Still Stay ( Read more... )

I'm looking forward to canon review aaaand possibly research, depending on how I go about this. Hopefully whoever was ( Read more... )

☆ Stayed home and baked cookies today. Mmm, shortbread. Nice! Since we don't have any room in the freezer, we'll probably just package it up in a tin and stick it out on the back porch. If we left it inside the house, it wouldn't last until the end of the week....

☆ Opened my package from Melusine today. <3 She sent me the most delightful things, ( Read more... )

Trick or Treat Exchange author reveals were today! Hooray! So, now we know who wrote everything. I'm going to list what was written for me first, and then a few other recs, and you guys should take a look at all of them if you know the fandoms, because they're awesome.

My gifts:

☆ Had plans for today, but... maybe I'll just flop down and do nothing instead. Maybe. I think I'm coming down with something; in fact, physically, I feel utterly terrible. So, probably better to take it easy.

☆ Interested in seeing Doctor Strange. I dunno, the previews look neat, and
