oh my goodness, OH MY GOODNESS
Have literally *just* finished The Hunger Games, and am kicking myself for not getting around to reading it sooner. Also a snivelling ball of snot and tears, because the ending of the book destroyed me, and thank goodness I already have the next two, I might have had to do something violent otherwise. Will be cracking straight into book two when I ( Read more... ) -
it is a rather bloodthirsty Christmas 'round here...
...in a televisual sense, that is! Our familial food coma with stocking filler dvds has so far featured Ironclad and half of The Eagle. So far, The Eagle is THE slashiest film I have ever, EVER, seen. But then, I have the slashgoggles on 24/7. Mum, Dad and little bro don't seem to see it.

Monday, you suck.
I know work related people(team/colleagues, customers) didn't remember/know that today is the first anniversary of my Gran's death, and that's okay.
They didn't know how incredibly thin skinned I was feeling today, but again, that's okay.
I'm even okay with being really tired today because I worled all day yesterday as a favour to M, another manager ( Read more... ) -
One track mind, me?
So. I woke up at arse o'clock this morning and dragged myself through the morning routine in time to plonk myself down in front of the telly for 08:30am for the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup, followed by the first game (NZ-Tonga) at 09:30.
( I'm on holiday, and didn't go to bed until 3am, as usual when not working, and 8am felt very, very ( Read more... ) -

Dear entirely different author from my previous post (although this is in the same fandom, and indeed the same pairing),
You, unlike EDAFMPP(ATIITSF,AITSP), definitely did need a Brit-picker. I have work in an unhealthy amount of hours, so need to head to bed soon, and after the first part of your fic, I gave up, skimmed to the bottom, read your ( Read more... ) -
ruining my suspension of disbelief, here!
Dear FicAuthor,
your fic should (and from what I have seen from being ~15% in, will) push a LOT of the right buttons for me. I have a thing for the particular flavour of AU you're writing here, and it seems reasonably well written so far.
However. I keep being thrown out of the fic (yes, at only ~15% in) by the fact that you keep calling Character A ( Read more... ) -
there are benefit to being a twitter traitor, like this little linkolation action:

I scored 24/30. 80%. ASBAR Batman would kick my ass for that. As would current DCU Red Robin and regular flavoured Robin. I'd like to think current DCU's Gotham Batman wouldn't, and would only give me a pep talk whilst doing a handstand so I didn't feel preached at. Alfred would give me a ( Read more... ) -
WORK TOMORROW. DO NOT WANT.
UGH. Remember two weeks ago when I was moaning about work? Yeah, I have to deal with the person causing all the drama tomorrow. What is wrong with me? I'm the one with the power (allegedly) in this situation, and yet I am really intimidated by her hysterical flavour of entitlement.
Apparently, being trained to be able to deal with this shit is the ( Read more... ) -
Epic day of rugby, go!
Went to bed at stupid o'clock last night this morning, but serendipitously, woke up in time for the BBC build up to the beginning of the Scotland-Italy match. As awesome as an Italian win would be (two wins, omg wtf?!?!, etc), I'm cheering for Scotland, as usual. Thoughts with > 5 mins left to play: I think I may have finally forgiven Nick de ( Read more... )
