This is the "Fall back" switch from Daylight Savings Time, so set your clocks to 11 pm at midnight or whenever: you can always check timeanddate.com, just to be sure. I'm going to try and think of it as an extra hour to sleep in or get things done.
ETA to add Our Neighbors To The North |

| meh reaction to Reclaiming the Blade |
[Oct. 29th, 2009|10:47 pm] |
Richard Taylor! Viggo! Bob Anderson! Swords! I so wanted to like this.
Shame that Reclaiming the Blade does the ponderous narration thing. It's mostly the script, which keeps making portentous statements and generalizations about how The Blade was So Amazing before those Awful Guns. They kept reaching for dramatic tension, instead of just relaxing and letting their passion show. The Netflix version didn't have any special features, but I doubt they'd be worth actually paying much for.
Also, the term "European Martial Arts" does not need to be used every five minutes: we get it, OK?
(Yes, I'm in a rotten mood today, but the documentary really was disappointing.) |

It's rec the reccers month at lotr_fic_recs.
If you're thinking of writing adoptive kid fic, you must read viggorlijah's post, Fandom Primer on International Adoption as a story trope: read it and weep. But the stories based on RL issues could be really good.
RPS Kink meme - just getting started. Some of the other kink memes have been amazing and very inspiring...
And because I've been told I don't plug myself enough: links to all the LOTR RPS fic I could find through September are at lotrips (October to come soon), and I'm still posting my fic recs on delicious. |
