Happy Boxing Day from this timezone! In addition to watching a lot of Fifth Generation Chinese cinema and Adventure Time I have also been eating many things. On Christmas Eve my family and I went out for Peranakan food; on Christmas morning I made pita pockets from scratch for breakfast, which were a huge success if I may say so myself; and in the ( Read more... )

Quick rec!

I have loved femgenficathon since it started in 2005; and today I checked back and found this gem of a fic. Star - Great Expectations, by a_t_rain. It's a story about Estella finding out the truth of her parentage, or more accurately searching, and one that gives her far more agency than Dickens' endings (original or revised) do.

It has been so long since I've made a properly fannish post. Today I was telling egelantier a story and uh, accidentally wrote fic.

Aha, you guys. What do I spot on the horizon? Another day off! Except that my day off is already here. It's Friday now! THAT'S RIGHT I LIVE IN THE FUTURE. In the two hours I have been awake, I have a) made butter (yes, that's right. Made butter) b) eaten breakfast and c) read some seriously wonderful fic that made my day. Further plans include ( Read more... )

1. My OTP is REAL. I'd heard about them passing notes during the KOI press conference but this, omg. *____________*

2. Also? Those daily communities (lambiel_daily and jgweir_daily are making my LIFE. Every day I wake up and there are pretty pretty pictures on my flist. I like this series of Stephane!

3. You should really go read willowbell's fic. Armor For Our Tender Bodies! ( Read more... )

So I know this journal has been FIGURE SKATING FIGURE SKATING FIGURE SKATING a lot recently. For those of you who are not into figure skating: I apologise! I am doing pretty well lately, not much going on here. Right now the biggest thing in my (real) life is sorting out my passport and applying for a visa and learning the past tense in French, all ( Read more... )
