Seriously, you all have a lot of DVDs. Me, I just have my HH boxset, my LOTR extended, La Commune Paris 1871, Hairspray, and a single season of Peep Show (which, if you don't know it, YOU MUST WATCH THIS VERY SECOND IT'S AMAZING AND ADORABLE). And then a bunch of art works which don't really count.

Small questions:

Finally after weeks of angst and clear writerly evenings spent producing nothing, I finally shed my fic block and scrawled this all at once, stuck in a Cairo traffic jam in a slum at dusk, breathing in pollution, writing in a notebook lit by my mobile phone in the back of a taxi. I love my city.

I've also forbidden myself from reading fic until this ( Read more... )

Best thing about this horrible piece of homophobia regarding openly gay military personnel in the US?

Commenter Seaman Beaumont:
If gays are allowed to serve openly in the military, it’s only fair that straights be permitted to serve openly in the Navy.

My friend and I just realised, over gmail chat, that the essence of almost any saga can be summarised in exactly five words. So I think, as it's only Monday*, we can do this for Hornblower bookverse or TVverse.

... I know, I know *camp handwave*.

I'm disgustingly late for Alphabet Soup. And group watch news. I'm sorry. Life is not permitting much fandom overspill right now.

Also, in nicer news, I'm driving the crack_van  for February! Comment here if you have objections to being recced (anyone not on my flist I'll ask, of course).

I'm also done with the fandom ( Read more... )

The name of my favourite piece of Belgian musical misogyny, and my least favourite city in the world. I'd rather go back to Basingstoke than Amsterdam.

I got tagged by sarlania !

How it works:
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."

Except, whatever, C is a bit of a mad rule. Do what you like.

SO.

Thanks for the numerous replies to the group watch poll!

General stuff:
13 of us are up for this. That's amazing. There was a point I wasn't sure there were even 13 people in the fandom.

It seems like most people are either totally flexible as to dates, or need time to get it together, so a Jan watch is probably out of the question.
