Free pizza today!!!

2020-05-28T22:25:55Z

Ha. No. No free pizza today but that was the first option available when I clicked the subject which amused me and also made me wish for pizza.

Also it's good to know that apparently it takes a pandemic AND a potential security breach to bring me back to DW/LJ.

procrasinate....

When you have tons of things to do and you're totally stressed out because of the things you haven't done you start watching a new TV show.

Obviously.

And so I'm watching Scandal, still in S1, mostly because they keep talking about it on The West Wing Weekly and making comparisons with the show.

Overall, I'm enjoying the show so far. And like I said I'm still in S1 but I like most of the characters fine. Except...

( S1 Scandal spoilers )

Oh, also just randomly, whenever Cyrus is mentioned I can't help but add 'the Virus' at the end. Ahahaha

late as always....

2017-09-04T21:28:25Z

I recently got into listening to podcast. I've never been one of those people who could have earphones while walking listening to whatever. I don't like the feeling of not knowing when a car (or even a bike) might suddenly speed by without any warning. So I never got into the habit of listening to music/radio/whatever in public.

I guess that's why it took me a while (a year!) before it hit me that I now live in a perfect place to listen to things walking to and from uni. Ahahahaha self, you're so slow....

The path I take between my flat and uni is a footpath where you can't even cycle. So I can relax without having to worry about cars and bikes crashing into me. And hence the recent hobby of listening to podcasts.

I heard Serial is pretty good. But I'm not really a huge fan of true crime genre which is funny because I really like fictional crime shows and detective stories. On the other hand, I really enjoyed Making a Murderer, so maybe I'll give Serial a go.

What I'm really enjoying currently though is The West Wing Weekly!
( ...... )

Do you guys have favourite podcast that you'd like to recommend?

still makes me shiver...

2017-02-02T15:24:24Z

So what with the recent fall into nostalgia and that awesome reunion pic, I'm listening to LOTR soundtrack.

I remember that one time morganmuffle and I watched the extended trilogy in one day. I think we were going to do the same with DVD extras and commentaries and everything but er... yeah. Still what a way to spend a day (or was it 2 in the end? SUCH a long time ago!).

I should be working right now but LOTR soundtrack! Still makes me shiver in the best possible way.

revisiting old fandom...

2017-02-01T17:29:46Z

I say revisiting rather than returning, well, because it's harder to return to old fandom, right? A fleeting visit, compared to the time I used to invest.

Anyway, I've been revisiting SGA and catching up on new fic and re-reading old fic on AO3. The good thing about re-reading fics that you read on LJ or somewhere else pre-AO3 is when you leave kudos, you're pleasantly surprised that you are able to leave kudos and don't get that you've already left kudos here message.

Each time it happens it always leaves a smile on my face. Because obviously I enjoyed the fic; otherwise, why would I be leaving kudos? And also because it means the author imported the work to AO3. Archiving! A central place for fic! Yay!

Sometimes people don't for various reasons and I'm always sad to see when I click on old links for fic and they don't work and I can't find it on AO3.

I'm now feeling nostalgic for good old due South fic. But the last time I revisited this fandom a significant amount wasn't available on AO3. Mostly I guess because dS has a good archive that's still available.

STILL nobody to appreciate this with me at work... :((((

Also, we recently moved and I couldn't find my West Wing boxset. Where could it be? It's not exactly small...

2015-12-22T06:42:22Z

Ahahahaha. I'm writing an email to somebody named Kobayashi.

But there is nobody in the office who can appreciate this with me. This is particularly even more upsetting when you consider I work in a IT research company.

What is WRONG with these people?!

Veronica Mars joins yet another tv show I need to catch up. /o\

I'm pretty sure my tumblr is going to EXPLODE with it, new and old, soon...

it finally happened!!!!

2014-03-03T11:51:37Z

I finally watched Frozen!!!!

I've been saying I was going to watch it for almost a month now. BUT IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!

I really enjoyed it. Except there were two kids right in front of us who kept talking. They weren't even that little. And one of them practically shouted over her sister to be heard by her mother on the other side. And the woman didn't even try to shush them. URGH.

KIDS, AND THEIR MOTHERS, THESE DAYS. *shakes fist*

Next time I watch something PG, I'm going at night.

tv, what tv?!

2014-03-01T03:16:30Z

Which is, I'm so sad to say, is true at this sad point of my sad life.

I've been so busy and tired from the new job (yay, small but regular income!) I haven't had a chance to catch up on ANYTHING.

I think the only thing I've caught up is er... BBC Sherlock if that counts. HA.

People keep telling me I need to watch Teen Wolf and I hear Person of Interest is good again? And I see that Rizzoli & Isles is back.

On the other hand, it looks like I'll finally be watching Frozen today. Although I've been saying that for the last month or so... so I guess it'll happen when it happens.

*waves*

I didn't have to wake up at 6 this morning. I woke up late. I had lunch with my ex-student. The food was awesome and we also had ice cream. I wandered around a bit and the weather was nice. I didn't have to stress about work.

It was glorious.

Also hockey tomorrow morning. I postponed all my plans because it's the Cup. And Game 6. OT(s) is likely. And omg, I'm so excited and nervous and omg, yeah.

And my closest friend here is really artistic and into nail art. So I asked for Blackhawks nails. And these are my hands right now.

:DDDD

The other day I found out that one of my co-workers likes sci-fi.

Her: I also watched SGA.
Me: Omg! ME TOO!
Her: John Sheppard! *smiles*
Me: Oh, John Sheppard. *smiles*
Her: I couldn't stand McKay though.
Me: ...
Me: ...
Me: ...what.
Her: He was so annoying!
Me: ...

*sobs quietly* WE COULD'VE BEEN PERFECT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

We did watch Iron Man 3 though. We both loved it. \o/

I've been so busy!

Today I found out there's new Lewis!!!! OMG!!! \o/\o/\o/ And then I JUST found out it had started a week ago... /o\

And then apparently SPN is starting again? I haven't even watched the last couple of eps. I'm not even sure if I have those eps.

Despite realising both of these facts today I can't do anything to remedy this. THAT's how busy I am. And tired. OMG.

It's 10 pm and I'm off to bed.

I used to go to bed at 5 am. I used to go to bed when the birds started chirping. I used to laugh in the face of people going to bed at reasonable hours.

Oh, how the mighty has fallen.

white christmas

2012-12-24T15:26:50Z

Yup, it certainly looks to be that way.

It's Christmas here already. It's snowing heavily and it's cold and I'm dead tired and I have work to do before going to bed and I'll be working later on today so I'm just generally annoyed. Especially I got in late after a 'meeting' that actually ended up being just a social thing. /o\

ANYHOW. Ignore my bitching. I'll feel better once I get some sleep.

So those who celebrate it, have a fantastic Christmas! And for those who don't, have a fantastic December 25th!

but, but, but...

2012-12-10T12:42:08Z

Lots of work to do. And my life looks to be busy as hell for a while.

Do you know what this means?

It means I can't watch The Hobbit when it comes out next week. This is so tragic that I have no words to express how tragic it is. I probably won't be able to watch it for at least one month. *cries*

I HATE EVERYONE WHO GETS TO WATCH IT BEFORE ME!!!!

EVERYONE, I TELL YOU! EVERYONE!!!!!

shorter hockey fic rec...

2012-04-30T20:24:09Z

*points to the subject line and therefore not part of the 100 post thing*

But before I get to the fic, for those of you (the majority of my flist!) who don't know/care about hockey/hockey RPF, I want to show you a clip that I think gives you a pretty good idea about the relationship between Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on the ice. I love this clip. This is Toews answering whether Kane ever gets on his nerves. It also has Toews doing a hilarious impression of Kaner 'doing his thing'. :DDD

Link is here if you can't see the embed. Also the pass and the goal he's talking about is this.

So the fic is kinda about their competitiveness but with blowjobs. Yup. It's about these two competing to see who's better at giving blowjobs and then having FEELINGS about the said blowjobs. It... WORKS with these two, ok?

Fic: 53 blowjobs: a love story by zarathuse
Pairing: Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews
Rating: Mature
Words: 7,300

And the ~~popsicle~~ ice lolly eating contest between Toews and Kane? You can watch that here (Tazer vs Kaner section begins at around 1:15).

I can't believe how attached and INVOLVED I am in this whole hockey thing. But there're all these awesome clips and pictures and gifs and fic on the internet! How could I not? URGH. I'm so EASY.

my baaaaaaack...

2012-04-26T15:14:11Z

URGH. I was walking around EVERYWHERE in the rain carrying a heavy backpack (filled with bottles of squash and jam and candles among other things at various points in time), a heavy messenger bag (filled with RUBBISH and books and COINS) and a heavy IKEA bag (filled with hooks and a grill pan and a notebook) and holding an umbrella WAY UP HIGH because I was walking with a TALL (omg, why so tall) friend walking her bike.

My shoulders and back are killing me right now.

HOWEVER. It's all fine because I got to see Dara O'Briain live. \o/

He was awesome and funny and adorable (although that might just be me...). Three of us (teacher K, tall friend K, and me) laughed until we cried and everything was worth it for that. Even the evil train journeys. Yes.
