I seriously don't know why curling isn't the most popular sport in the Winter Olympics. It's so fascinating to watch them put their strategies together. Plus it's so graceful. I really freaking love it.

I know fannish drive is a fickle thing and that fanfic is often based around 'ships so shows about established relationships can inspire less of it, but how on earth is it possible that there are only twenty-nine fanworks on the AO3 about the show Modern Family? The dynamics are so fun, and the character voices are so strong! It seems ready made ( Read more... )

- You know, I really enjoy seeing old cast members come back on Project Runway All-Stars, because I like seeing how they've grown and the fact that they've done the show before means that they hit the ground running from the first challenge (or really, really don't), but I'm so spoiled by the usual ninety minute Project Runway that I feel like I'm ( Read more... )

It's been a mellow Mother's Day here at the muse household; I got to sleep in (which happens maybe twice a year, so wow!), I took a nap at the museling's nap time (which I never do if I'm not sick, but it was lovely today to curl up with a purring cat and close my eyes), we went out for an early dinner in the city, and I got lots of hugs, kisses, ( Read more... )
