OK, so I am still behind on comments, so I should not be posting, but.

I'm still watching Durham County. ( Brief thoughts through 1x04 )

I'm having a busier weekend than I expected, since the totally awesome rogairedubh (my brother) showed up on my doorstep on Friday night, having flown in from Boston to surprise me, because he is totally awesome. So I'm going to go around and thank y'all individually, but I just wanted to take a minute for a blanket thank-you for all the birthday wishes! ( Read more... )

I stayed up way too late a couple of nights ago and am still sort of paying for it, and my hormones hate me, so I am feeling a bit subdued this morning, and not much like talking. Which is sad in that there are many exciting things to talk about, and I'm afraid I won't do them justice.

For example: I thoroughly enjoyed both The Office and SPN ( Read more... )

I have been reading some of the Muskrat Jamboree reports and I am madly jealous of you all. And, um, if anyone has some good Cliff Notes of the HD/CKR panel (china_shop, maybe)? I would not turn that down. Ahem.

I have fic recs!

First of all, there's Getting It, and the sequel, Man With a (Fucking Fantastic) Plan, by etben (due South, F/V/K, NC-17, spoilers ( Read more... )

Today's Fandom Appreciation Challenge is a love letter. This isn't a letter, exactly, but there's definitely love here, so hopefully that's close enough ( Read more... )

So danceswithwords is not a fan of public displays of affection, but Fandom Appreciation Week compels me to direct you toward her journal, where you will mostly find her meta, which is invariably insightful and eloquent and funny and just generally a pleasure to read. Alison is one of the smartest people I have ever met, online or in RL (and she is also ( Read more... )

I stayed up late to write last night, and ended up basically staring at the screen for two hours. I hate that. So not only am I tired today, I also didn't get anything accomplished, and grrr. Fandom is also making me cranky at the moment. In my more lucid moments, I'm aware that fandom is really just a big Rorschach test for all of us, and that ( Read more... )

First of all-hey, voleuse! I don't know if you got my email, but thank you!!! You are incredibly sweet.

And now, a little thing I like to call Pimping Things in sdwolfpup's LJ, Because She And Her Works Are Made of Awesome. Her Insane January Vidding Project is in full swing, and there is not a vidlet in the bunch that does not make me incredibly happy and ( Read more... )

So sdwolfpup and I have been working on a due South fic together, and it has been quite an experience. In addition to being a ton of fun, it has also led to some of the most blush-inducing IM conversations I have ever had IN MY LIFE. SDW has already shared a few of the highlights (or quite possibly lowlights) here, and in the spirit of teamwork, I present ( Read more... )

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, ( Read more... )
