ultra_lilac: People should never be baked into pies, you monster! The pastry overpowers the delicate bouquet of flavours in human flesh!

Let the things you've suffered, endured, survived show.

"Your job," she says, "is to call for help."

metaquotes

shoemoney2night: After being tickled by the names of 17th century Puritans [...] I did some reading and discovered some more brilliant Puritan names. A Sussex jury roll from 1650 list includes the names Accepted Trevor, Redeemed Compton, Kill-Sin Pimple, Fly-Fornication Richardson, Search-The-Scriptures Moreton [...].

17catherines: Am I the only one who wondered why the puritans were interested in fornicating flies?

shaysdays: I think it's more, "Fly away, oh foul temptation of our mortal bodies!" not "Screeeeew meeeeeee!"

• Despite the wonderful achievement of the fanmixes, I’ve yet to pimp them out to fanmix. I don’t even know why, I just haven’t gotten around to it. And I’m so proud of them too :/


• Yesterday at the Goethe, instead of trying to finish Louisiana Hoodoo, I tried thinking out and plotting a bit the vague idea or world or something I’ve been having about The Last Wild Angel. ( Read more... )


• I finally started screencapping the remake of Friday the 13th with Jared Padalecki in the hopes of eventually, someday, snarking at it. I've only done 10 minutes worth, but at least it's something.


• I only just learnt that Andy Hallett’s died. This is quite upsetting and sad.


• I finally watched Castle 3x13 - and by the way, where the hell were all my shows last week? And where’s Human Target this week? - and it was heavier on the Drama than the Squeeful Comedy but holy peaches yo, it was good. Then later with Mom we watched 2x13 on the television, which basically is the direct set-up for 3x13, and having the two fresh in my mind was wonderful. I was even quite tickled to notice that when Beckett’s taken off the case in 3x13 and leaves in a troubled huff, sliging her jacket over her shoulder as Castle shouts, “Beckett! Kate!”, the same exact thing happens in 2x13. Le squee. (I’m just praying it was deliberate and not a reusing of ideas.)

• On the mid-morning of December 31st, my mom was making her way back from the market with a few bags of vegetables walking down a main street near our house. ( Then Bad Things Happened )

• I can has job! Okay, so it's part-time and for a limited time at that (January to May) and at the Institute where I did my internship, but still. Job. ( Read more... )


• Any day now, the proof copy of Time We Saw a Miracle is going to make its way through the US mail system and there will be joy and rejoicing. Well, maybe not, because it's going to my brother's address (so much safer than asking an American company to send something super special across the pond to Italy). Still, book.


• I've been working on the four (oh gods, four) fanmixes for Time We Saw a Miracle. I've got three with their songs pretty much narrowed down and in a decent enough order, which still amazes me because I had so many songs to wade through.


• I read The Red Tree by greygirlbeast (Caitlin R. Kiernan) this past week although "read" isn't the word so much as "avidly devoured".
  
  I was a tiny bit disappointed for all of two seconds when I discovered that the novel wasn't written in the wonderful run-on sentences of Threshold (because gods do I love that writing) but as I said, that lasted two seconds and then I was hooked and loving it.
  
  Oh, and I totally called The Thing About Constance, but that's okay because while I suspected it, I never really believed that's where it was going, so was still pleasantly surprised and still thoroughly enjoyed the slight paranoia I was sharing with Sara.
  
  I was not expecting the sex scenes or maybe it was just two details that stuck in my head and won't go away, involving sex toys, but either way, it fit.
  
  I was struck by a few details like the insomnia and the seizures where I could point to and say, hey, greygirlbeast's Real Life is poking though, and that was actually nice because I could draw upon all her descriptions of what she's gone through and understand it all the more. I also liked that a few details and scenes I could pick out from Threshold's universe-vault, or maybe it's just greygirlbeast's general universe details and I just haven't read enough of her work to know.
  
  Still, there were ( spoilers )

• Grey's Anatomy is back, baby! There were happy couples and rapid-fire drama and sweet jambalaya Christina Yang I missed you. The characters made me happy, except Meredith who for the first time ever completely alienated me from her drama and made me say, "Good gods, woman, you're being petty and over-dramatic." But then Cally was all amazing, so it's all good.


• Castle was watched in the company of my mom, which meant a lot of pausing and recapping and explaining, but it's really nice to be able to watch a show with someone and squee.


• Supernatural is still absent from my life (especially considering I barely even have time to read fic or meta) but my wallpaper's a screencap of the Dean's promo bit, and when mom asked who it was, out came Google Images and parental approval. Seriously, that boy is too pretty.


• Human Target was Human Target again! \o/ Rejoice! ( Read more... )
  So yeah, Human Target was its usual crazy fun self with the blatant disregard for reality we all know and love and I clapped like a happy, happy seal.

In an armed camp, Chip and his companions find shelter from the infected and cope with life after the apocalypse. As Icarus struggles with the loss of his angelic grace, Chip discovers there is always something more to fear.

And it is tracking them down.

a) Kill it with fire!
b) Shiny!
c) What is that last line doing there and how can we make it go away?
