Hello! I am glad everyone seems to have had/be having nice holiday-type things. Mine was quite nice, mostly there was trifle and family and Joanna Newsom's new album, which makes me well up and sniffle like a CHILD oh god I love it and I want everyone else to love it TOO but often it is hard to persuade people to download and listen to twelve- ( Read more... )

I was going to post something rambly and happy about how I love Christmas, I really do. God, I love how shiny it is, and I love how for ninety percent of the population it's just about celebrating celebration. I love that it's special just because you say so. I love how it's got this huge amount of evocative stuff wrapped around it and it's all ( Read more... )

(The scene: a dark cave. Fire shadows are flickering eldritchly on the walls. There are stalagtites and stalagmites and stalagbites1. A deep voice speaks from the shadows.)

I have vague plans to Mend My Ways but know better than to make any hopeful estimations or plans or anything. I hope you will continue to talk to me and not spurn ( Read more... )

HELLO. I have been away for a while. Sorry. OH GOSH I LOVE YOU ALL. I am so busy BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY. I'm not doing anything yet my time SKITTERS AWAY FROM ME LIKE LITTLE WEASELS ON SKATES. I think mostly maybe I am spending my time fruitlessly worrying about how I am not doing any work. Like the cool efficient sablon1 of brilliance I am. Yeeeeeah ( Read more... )

So I finally saw this. I haven't read anyone else's reactions yet, so be prepared for UTTER REDUNDANCY.

HM#1 and I have conceived of a wish. A wish that is pure and burning, like a pillar of salt at noon. We wish to play Monopoly... in the paddling pool.

Nothing seems to us more exotic, more wildly exciting and decadent, than this. This, we say to each other, is surely the sort of thing billionaires do. We are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to ( Read more... )

OH THE TRAGIC MONTAGE ON BBC I AM LAUGHING VERY HARD.

I AM SORRY, I DO NOT MEAN TO BE CRUEL. IT IS THE MONTAGE THAT DOES THIS TO ME. I LOVE AND SYMPATHISE WITH THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WEEPING AT HOME.

IT IS SAD.

OH SO SAD.

SVEN/SCOLARI FOREVER.
