five things that made me happy this past week

1. Dim sum! And they even had chrysanthemum tea! Served, exactly as it should be, with a little dish of rock sugar. *swoon* (It is strangely difficult to find in the US, so it is very, very exciting to know that there is a place nearby that has it!) ( Deliciousness. )

movies, chicago blackhawks, food, figure skating, recs, generation kill, music, antumbral, life, hockey, chuck, castle

1. SO JEALOUS

2. It's really funny, but hockey is basically the one thing I cannot read fic about. It really squicks me out, and I don't know why.

3. I keep meaning to watch that! At this rate, I don't think I'll get to watch it until I'm back home for the summer.

1. :D I would send you some if I could!

2. Huh! That's really interesting! I mean, there isn't a ton of fic out there and quite a lot of what does exist is... not exactly my style, so I could definitely see not really getting into the fic side of things if you hadn't yet been pointed directly at the best of the crop (some of which is really, really excellent). But it's fascinating that it just doesn't work for you at all. Funny how squicks work like that; sometimes it's easy to tell why, sometimes things just come up.

3. It is a bit melodramatic, but that is to be expected. :) I loved the two parts I saw, and am sad that the 24/7 series seems to only profile a particular sport once and then move onto a different one, because more docs like that would be a wonderful thing. I'm sure it'll still be worth watching in the summer -- like a reminder of winter!
