mostly bookish

Usually, when I have a free Sunday morning, I try to get up reasonably early (~7:30) and go to Mysore. But this weekend I practiced the yoga pose of sleep. I was out latish Sat. night at a work-related dinner, and then up even later finishing my purimgifts fic, and so didn’t go to sleep until 1:30. I woke up at 7:30 or so, and thought screw this. And I

I keep hearing about remix. And think it is relevant to my interests. What is the community name? I want to check this out. Unless I missed sign ups?

[ariadnes_string]

It's remix_redux and sign-ups just started. I've found it really challenging to remix things, but mostly in a good way. Go check it out!

Do you have to be a member to see recent posts? All I'm seeing is stuff from 2007...

[ariadnes_string]

oops, sorry, this is what you want:

remixers-lounge

the sign-ups are on AO3, though, like Yuletide.

In which I very much enjoyed the appearance of Titus Welliver and Sasha Roiz’s bare chest.

I was enjoying the episode immensely for those two things.

Call me old-fashioned, but I really think pretending that some kinds of evil aren’t 100% human is a moral dodge

This. It's dishonest. But we seem to like pretending we're not really capable of the truly horrible things. We have to be mad, or possessed, or a demon!

Those were good things. Titus Welliver does that kind of can-you-trust-him-or-not character so well, and Renard stalking around his ultra-modern apartment in states of undress should have been ridiculous, but was actually kind of hot.

We do like it. And even complaining about it makes me feel like my dad, who used to yell at me every time he caught be watching Hogan's Heroes because the Nazis were not buffoons, they were evil. But still.

Lol! Yes, stalking around, watching himself in the mirror. It should have been far more silly than distracting. But Sasha just makes stuff work.

[ariadnes_string]

He does make stuff work--and he was also working some stuff ;)

Looking forward to seeing more of that work and stuff.

I had no idea about the origins of that pic. House--who knew? I am currently 2 episodes into The Unusuals & enjoying him there.

[ariadnes_string]

I know--I just about did a double take when I saw that top shot come up in the opening scene of House!

I've watched maybe 8/10 episodes of The Unusuals and am enjoying far more than I thought I would. It's reconciling me to a more cuddly Renner. Though he still has that I-should-really-be-in-charge-of-this-shit vibe I like so much. (plus, I totally dig his sexy times with his gf in the show)

(Have you seen the cowboy-with-a-whip!Renner in the Pink vid that's been circulating on tumblr?)

[topaz119]

I have not seen any such thing! Damn it, he's going to drag me into tumblr.

here you go--

enjoy the handcuffing and whip lashing and spitting *g*
