All of my recent & future poking in various websites on various subjects & issues is just me going mental over research for my H50 Steve/Danny prompt fic, yeah? It's bad enough I already get easily distracted by clicky clicky links; shiny is pretty. (I have a suspicion, that after all this, the fic will be no longer than 1,500 words. orz) I'm a ( Read more... )

I've been reading tons of fics, mostly Steve/Danny (H50), Merlin/Arthur (Merlin), and some Eames/Arthur (Inception). For some reason I was more into Modern AUs for the Merlin fics, when I noticed something odd - almost every other fic had them cooking/going out for a curry! Whut? It got so bad that after a while I started craving some. (And since I ( Read more... )

So. I may be reaaally late to the party, but this period of relaxation has managed to stumble me upon a freaking brilliant modern AU Merlin fic: I Think I'm In Love With My Radio.

Merlin loves Happy Meals' Transformers & turns his toaster into a missile launcher; Arthur's a stalker DJ; Merlin's Mum chats up potential boyfriends for her son in ( Read more... )

1) I ordered 4 books from The Book Depository in late November; 3 came just before Christmas, & the last one still hasn't arrived yet. Anyone had this problem before? I've just sent an email to BD (yes, have checked with the post office: nada) & I hope they solve this ASAP, cos I'm itching to order a couple more things soon. Now. Have they replied ( Read more... )

Lol, seriously. Two movies (in a day) where happy family units are broken up, some adventure is had, reunions happen, & they live happily ever after. Or not.

Tron Legacy.The good news: I waited until the prices came down, & got the $8 ticket instead of the norm of $13. And I loved Rinzler's metallic/industrial purring. Mrowrrrrr, babeh ( Read more... )

I'll never buy another LG phone, ever. Couldn't even last 2 years! And with me, one of the most careful & possesive owner in the world. -_ ( Read more... )

The slashy kind, that is. ;D

I've just finished being dragged to the gigantor IMAX hall at Times Square to watch the 3D Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. IMO, we had the best seats in the house; high up & centre, so the humongous screen was nicely at our eye level. I kid you not: the whole place is almost 3 times the size of the biggest lecture ( Read more... )

I've got my eye on the Barnes & Noble Nook which, if reviews are trustworthy, damn well cheaper & with better specs than those costs-an-arm rip-offs at MPH. I'm tired of either lugging around books that eat into my bag space (& total weight), or not carrying any at all & I'm left with staring at nothing while waiting for food/stuff to come/happen.

"Unstoppable" was pretty good. It bills itself as an action movie - one of the good ones - & it lived up to its promise. No stupid love stories (I couldn't have cared less about the flimsy wife [Pine's] & daughters [Washington's] anyway), no tears & drama, no 'deep' meaning-of-life bullshit ( Read more... )

So after over 5+ years, today I said goodbye. Well, I'll be seeing a select few quite regularly (that's the plan) since we live rather closely & we've become friends. Got some presents, had a bit of tea, hugged everyone; yeah, I will miss those offices a bit. But it's time to move on.

Damn, but The Expandables's action scenes sound awesome on the ( Read more... )
