Left to my own devices, I'm continuing to watch things (and do sudoku) instead of doing anything more productive:

Taskmaster Australia (I keep writing it out in full because "Taskmaster AU" just makes me think of the AU ideas where Hugh or Ed are a serial killer or Victoria is an android XD), episode 3: Hmm, not as fun as the previous one, IMO, ( Read more... )

Thank you for the good thoughts for my grandfather <33 He made it through surgery OK, but recovery is being tricky, so he's still in hospital and probably will be for a while. So meanwhile I'm focusing on nicely escapist things, like:

Taskmaster Australia, episode 2 -- I liked the first episode OK, but this one was actually quite good! I ( Read more... )

October was weird for me with fannish consumption, because I have in my hands two epic fantasy things that I think are actually good (one Hugo homework reading, one a rec off the Serpentcast), and some other things I've been curious about for a while, and I could've gone on to watch season 2 of The Expanse, but instead I've been: a) (re)reading ( Read more... )

18. Jim Butcher, Peace Talks -- Well, that was certainly... not really a book. :/ I mean, I went in knowing, from Butcher's Comic Con @ Home panel, that it was the first half of a complete story and that it ended on a cliffhanger, and from

I'm super fed up with work and beset by loquats, so to give my brain something else to think about, let's have a fannish post.

A meme, dredged up from the internets:

Give me a character, or several, and I'll tell you:

- favorite thing about them
- least favorite thing about them
- favorite line
- brOTP
- OTP
- nOTP
- random headcanon
- unpopular ( Read more... )

OK, time for a fannish post! This is kind of a random mix of things -- stuff I've been watching on Netflix and YouTube, fic I've been reading, more fannish top 5 memes, and a notable absence of any sort of reading of actual books (I am creeping along to the finish line of Cyteen and still not reading anything else, because apparently this is who I ( Read more... )

I kind of like this cadence of alternating between quarantine life posts and fannishness, so I'm going to keep doing that. (Usually I like mixing RL and fandom things, but RL and escapism are not mixing particularly well around now...)

Hugo nominations came out, and even though I'm VERY burnt out on Hugo homework after last year, I did nominate, ( Read more... )

Day 12: In your own space, create your own challenge.

I've tried this with year-round challenges before, and, except for the Community Souced Reading Bingo, which was a lot of fun, that seems too large scale. So I think this time around Iwant to try something immediate, like a meme. Through the confluence of talking about universe fursions with
