Fic what I wrote
I thought it was about time I updated my Dreamwidth account with the fic I've written for great justice and lolz and that. But what I actually mean is that I thought I should do some more work on my final-year dissertation, but instead I am procrastinating wildly by updating my Dreamwidth account with the fic I've written for great justice and lolz ( Read more... ) -
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have diced my way here to the castle
OMG, THIS IS HAPPENING; THEY'RE MAKING A LABYRINTH TABLETOP GAME: GOD BLESS YOU, RIVER HORSE GAMES!
This had better include a waltz with a foxy but ethically dodgy sybarite around a bubble full of goblins, or I'm going to flip a table. Or ask for a refund, at the very least. Guuuuuuys, who wants to play this with me? -
How's that for entertainment?
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is surprisingly entertaining, despite my general and persistent distaste for Henry Cavill and the disturbing back history of Uncle Rudy. But then I am, alas, shockingly easy for most Guy Ritchie films. In addition, I think I could be developing an OT3 ship for the first time ever, mostly because Gaby and Napoleon seem to be ( Read more... ) -

Having spent the last two weeks at my mother's house, coughing deeply and majestically over everything, it seems desperately unfair that, despite making it back to Cornwall a few days ago, I am still ill and sounding increasingly like an tubercular orphan in a Dickens novel. I may even have to go to the doctor's, come Monday, if I keep struggling ( Read more... ) -
'We are not amused!'

Why, yes, being told that it is due this Friday! That is truly the UGH CHERRY ON THE WHHHHHY CAKE. But whatever, it is done and, flist, it is a masterpiece of soft-soap, ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
GODDAMMIT, I have missed Yuletide nominations and it looks like most of my front-runner favourites are either ineligible or haven't been nominated. Seriously, people, we have to talk. I applaud your good taste in nominating RocknRolla and what looks like Georgette Heyer's entire back catalogue, but where's The Dark Is Rising? Where's The Prisoner? ( Read more... ) -
If shit goes down, do you got this?
Beloved flist, you may remember how I was whining and carrying on about the three-day conference I had to attend last week, and how I would fail at being an actual person and an academic. Well, all modesty aside, I needn't have worried because I fucking owned that conference. I dominated like someone that dominates professionally for a living, even ( Read more... ) -
It's the final (conference) countdown! Dun dun dun DUN, dundun dundun DUN, etc.
Okay.

- Terrible film watched whilst cleaning flat for tomorrow's viewing: checkity check. (Welcome to the Punch is certainly a- film that has been made. If you want a cinematic opus about men running at each other while shooting guns and screaming, this is the film for you. I deeply, deeply enjoyed it ( Read more... )
