Have you all see Sebastian Stan in the I'm Dying Up Here trailer? I know most people went to the "Winter Soldier in the 70s place," but me, after a moment of "I AM THE LIZARD KING," I went right to the "Sirius Black in the 70s place," even though SebStan is now too old to play young Sirius (though just the right age to play PoA era Sirius*) even if ( Read more... )

I was reading an otherwise unmemorable Star Wars AU (they all start to run together at a certain point) and suddenly there was Obi-Wan Kenobi, Union Organizer, a thing I never knew I needed until I found it! Sadly, he did not lead the striking masses in a chorus of "There Is Power in a Union," but you can bet I imagined Ewan McGregor singing it ( Read more... )

Got my period this morning, which explains why I was unfortunately awake between 3 am and 5 am. Sigh ( Read more... )

1. Raising a Mets fan, a blog post by Jennifer Meer.

The money quote:
There are many things I treasure about loving and raising a Mets fan. I love their distinctly curmudgeonly outlook on life tinged with a reluctant yet persistent belief in what's possible. I love their under doggedness. Being a Mets fan (and similarly loving them) ( Read more... )

I meant to write at least one treat last night (I love all three ideas, but I don't foresee being able to write all three given the time constraints and all the offline stuff I need to do), but I ended up in bed by 9 pm. And I slept through without waking until 6 am, so clearly it was the right decision, but I'm going to be a little sad if this is ( Read more... )

I did not manage a nap yesterday, but I did beta 5 different yuletide stories AND revise mine to a state where I'm like 95% happy with it, PLUS I started a treat and scouted out a possible second treat, so I feel good about that. I hope my recipient likes it ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving/Thursday. Mine was lovely, if short on sleep, so I took a nice long nap this afternoon when I got home.

I enjoyed the brief Brooklyn Nine Nine short that followed the afternoon football game ( Read more... )

Work was ridiculously hectic on Thursday - the kind of day where it was 3:30 and I hadn't had lunch yet - and yesterday was more of the same, plus having to stay late to make sure things were ready for a meeting first thing Monday morning. So last night when I got home, changing into comfortable pants turned into a three hour nap, so when I woke up ( Read more... )

Last night, I came home from work, and in the middle of changing out of my work clothes, i took a two hour nap. Gah, why is nap-sleep like that so much better than night-time sleep? It was SO GOOD. And then of course, I was up every two hours when I finally went to bed. But I did have a very detailed dream about Bucky breaking his programming ( Read more... )

There have been mice in my building recently - I've seen people put it on the signup sheet for the exterminator, and then a couple days ago, I lost a loaf of bread and some cookies and other food to the gross gnawing. So after I cleaned that up, I picked up some plastic and glass canisters (why does that not have two Ns? It feels like it should), ( Read more... )
