Books & Freckles

It's snowing.

A lot.


Er, that's all. *goes back to working on fic; tries to stop, like, deleting huge chunks of it*



I'm sure I'll have Merls thoughts later.

Do you know what is super wrong with my response to this item from regretsy?

Go look; I'll wait.

It's that when I glanced at it, after observing the title "This is how we love," the silhouette I saw was Jar-Jar Binks on the right, and my immediate problem with this as a representation of love was that Padme's hair is never all stringy like that, and Anakin's is never long enough to be like that.

BRAIN.

WHAT THE.

OKAY. So, Black Friday was actually pretty anti-climactic, which was just fine with me. However, EVERY DAY AFTER IT HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF HORRIBLE OMG. People, seriously. Just. Just go away. GO AWAY. :|

Also, I wasn't able to get a lappytoppy like I had planned, which was a downer. I was bitter, not gonna like. Still, it ended up being a good thing. I mean...I really don't have that kind of money to spend.

So I bought a PSP (whaaaaaat, I said I didn't have that kind of money to spend - the kind of money a PSP requires is much lower okay!) and one little game.

( Spoilers for Cloud, Tidus, and Cecil's Odysseys, as well as general DISSIDIA gameplay )

In other news, I have been quietly freaking out over Yuletide (WHAT WAS I THINKING) and wrangling tags (ugh, wait, why did I choose a fandom where everyone only has a first name?!). LIFE IS EXCITING.

Oh, hey, fic recs.

Allure of Honey, FF: Dissidia fic by Sinnatious. Cloud winds up in an outfit he swore he would never wear again. Crossdressing. Everyone/Cloud.

This fic. THIS FIC. I lol'd A LOT. Poor Cloud. <333333


Made for Much, FFXII fic by Original-Elfkin. Balthier is tired of the Westersands. Tired of the heat, tired of the sand stuck in every place, tired of his itchy 5 o'clock shadow. But a puzzle involving Vaan presents an entertaining distraction from his troubles. Pre-slash BalthierXVaan.

Another one that made me laugh, plus I really, really like the characterizations. I guess lulz are my main source of entertainment, what can I say.

Second of all, SKIP TO 2:37 IT WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR DAY... if you are me.



FYT:



+ In other news, Sons of Anarchy finale last night: I AM SAD OVER CERTAIN EVENTS AND CLIFFHANGERS SHOULD BE GUNNED DOWN ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SAWN-OFF. That's all I have to say about that. SoA is one great show.

+ ALSO, DRUNK!MORGANA LIVES, EVEN IN 1950's AUs.


Back to work, thank you for indulging me in distracting myself.

This morning I woke from a very involved dream about making cookies. Lots of kinds of cookies, with chocolate and nuts and drop cookies and bar cookies and vanilla and mint and mmmm, but most especially this variant on sugar cookies with this frosting that was magically shape-able like fondant, only didn't taste godawful and also was soft and yummy.

Also in the dream, at one point I was repeatedly following Gwen out of Camelot and losing her at some sort of weird hidden path that went on the side of the boulder that didn't exist; I would come back and 1. make more cookies, and 2. listen to additional/ongoing discussion on the importance of calling in the right people to resolve the problem when there are unusual incidents at work (with worksheets and group activities and all the other trappings of an all-day training on something lame), and then follow her again (and lose her again), and so on.

Then, more cookies.

I cannot tell you how sad I was to find no cookies whatsoever in my kitchen on getting up. The lecture on public-safety calls I was okay not to find underway, but. Cookies! I can practically taste them, and yet, they are not here. Also not here: Camelot. *wail*

Fic for exchange: making me seriously crazy with just the very last little bit of it resisting like I'm asking it to give me all its candy and it's a two-year-old with a sugar fetish and a high degree of fondness for the word no.

Rar.

However, here, let me give you a ficlet from the kink meme from a few days ago. :D

Title: Twice as Nice
Words: ~675
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy/Spock
Warnings: none, I think.
A/N: For this prompt (Kirk/McCoy/Spock DP, bottom McCoy making whimpering sounds). As you might find unsurprising for a kink meme fill, this is straight-up porn.

+ Argh, very busy, very distracting holiday/weekend. I have so much to finish still and I don't want to be back at work. Gah, I'll get it done.

+ Still swooning over this week's Merlin. May actually never stop. It was far from perfect, but. ( this brief squee contains spoilers, just to be safe )

+ PIMP: SAY IT WITH FLOWERS INTERNATIONAL POSTCARD PROJECT. In which we 1) send postcards to Angel and Katie at the Beeb to show them some love, and 2) hopefully the producers will notice that some of us don't find the concept of a Gwen-Morgana buddy movie episode to be the most hilariously absurd concept ever, Johnny. (We are nothing if not ambitious.)

+ I HAS GOOGLE WAVE. (Thanks, cherrybina!) I don't know a thing about it apart from a demo vid I watched back in the summer, but it looks neat? Ya'll know I can never resist. So, if you're on it, let me know and I'll add you or... however it works? And we can do ...something? IDK. I'll figure it out. I don't even know if I have invites - where would those be?

+ I hope everyone's week is off to a good start and that you aren't as behind on things as I am. I still need to find myself a personal ass-kicker. ♥

2x10: "Sweet Dreams". You know by the title you are in for some crack. AND YOU ARE. PURE. UNCUT. SHAKESPEAREAN. CRACK.

( spoilers' job... is to WOO )

Title: The Needs of the Revolted
Pairing: Sarek/OFC
Rating: NC17
Words: ~800
Warning: dubious consent
Summary: The kink meme prompt was for Sarek to get tired of his people talking smack about Amanda and Vulcanishly telling them to stick it. However, as it was on the kink meme, there is sex.
A/N: I have fooled with this a bit more (largely for clarity) since posting it over there last night while I was taking a break from the more substantial fic that is currently taunting me.

I appreciate your industrious hacking away at the (somewhat-past-)due fic, but some of these errors of logic and departures from expectation as you go along are a bit ridiculous.

For instance, "building" and "bukkake" (of which there is none expected in this fic) are really quite not at all the same thing, and are not interchangeable.

Pls to type what (and only what) the brain says now.

Thx,
Me.

Oh, hey, good luck to my fellow retail slaves! TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A BLAST. I'm going to make it worse for some poor bastard because I'm going to do some shopping before I have to be at work (at 6am omg). But damn it, one of those laptops WILL BE MINE. :|

I think one of the things I hate the most about watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is how my dad complains about the music. *G* However, I want to know why they're not singing happier songs. WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT LEAVING YOUR BOYFRIEND IN THE THANKSGIVING PARADE? :|

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! We're not doing the whole "family getting together" thing. *SHRUG* It's just going to be the three of us, which is just fine with me. XD

Good news: We get to leave work 3 hours early. *\o/*

Bad news: It wasn't announced until I had started my experiment. I'll be lucky to leave an hour early.

Things could be worse, though.

Hope all of you who are traveling have a safe trip! I'm going down for dinner with the fam. My only contribution will be wine, and probably helping to finish with the cooking. If I don't get to post tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving. ♥
