I'm half-heartedly working on an annual report in front of vintage songvids on the TV. sarren is lying on the floor, periodically making pained noises and reading out particularly alarming lines from a 27,000 word story she started in the almost certain knowledge from the author's notes that it wasn't going to be very good ( Read more... )

sarren came out to my place this weekend, by my recollection primarily to help me with some bonfires with the secondary goal of watching Person of Interest, and by her recollection the other way around. Either way, we accomplished both, and in doing so sunk to what might be considered a new low. I'm worried we may have crossed a line from which there's ( Read more... )

I had a pretty social week and looking back on it brings home how thoroughly my social circle is dominated by slash fans.

Sunday: Supernatural S7 mini-marathon with redteekal and ash48. I love being around people who can state their fannish opinion and immediately back it up with a quote and the episode it came from!

Tuesday: visit emma_in_oz, whose children's bedtimes ( Read more... )

sarren and I have been watching Supernatural at breakneck speed (8 episodes on a work night, 25+ on the weekend) on the basis that this is the responsible thing to do since we're both going to be busier in the near future than we are now. Convincing argument, yes? We've got time management down to an art, since any minute spent doing anything else is a ( Read more... )

sarren and I watched 16 S4 Supernatural episodes in 22 hours over the weekend, complete with rewinding as required. (Her Viewing Plan involves me watching S1-3 on my own and S4 with her.) Definitely a record for me and it would have been an even bigger one if she'd agreed to stay on until Wednesday or so like I wanted. It is inconvenient to live 100km ( Read more... )

I'm not very keen on graphic violence, so was never interested in trying Supernatural, especially since the main pairing involved incest. Until very recently I didn't even know which one was Dean and which one Sam, and was happy to give it a wide berth.

Then sarren pointed out that if I just ignore all the things I don't like, what's left is exactly the ( Read more... )

sarren managed to assemble no fewer than 7 people to watch The Persuaders! last night. One of them may have been under duress as an occupant of the house who had little means of escape, but the rest of us independently drove a considerable distance to attend! By my count she's now exposed at least a dozen people and some seem to have been infected! If ( Read more... )

7:30 pm this evening.  Phone rings.

Me: Hello.

Incoherent excitement, gradually resolving into:

sarren: It's me. Wait, I'm hanging up to call you on the land line, it'll be cheaper. I'm so excited I used the wrong phone ( Read more... )

After counting down every waking hour from midnight Saturday night, when the New Fandom bug hit, I finally made it to sarren's Monday evening for some immersion in The Persuaders! Dinner was in the oven, the DVDs were invitingly spread out on the coffee table, everything was utterly perfect as far as I was concerned. There was an incidental small bear ( Read more... )

During the week I got a note from cricketk asking if she, wobowikkles, juffles and a real live non-LJ person could stay at my house (actually, she only asked if they could camp outside!) last night before juffles and N-LJP tackled the Avon Descent (two-day whitewater kayak race that starts not far from me) this morning.

Wow, I'm conveniently located for once.  Somebody wants to ( Read more... )
