Went to see Prince Caspian yesterday. Apparently I am not subtle in my glee. Also terrible at being quiet - it kind of makes me wonder whether there's anything wrong with my ears. However, that is not the point. The point is:I kind of loved it a lot )

My, how productive I've been today.
ink_splotch: (No need to dream [otp])
So, today's been productive if not exactly overly happy. I'm kind of missing England. A lot. But apparently being in a...blah mood helps with my productivity. I've certainly managed quite a bit of revision today. Hopefully I can do the last 30 lines of translation tomorrow and then start on my grammar tests, and then it's focus on the literary side from then on. Ugh.

But, for now, I present my Yuletide Recs )

Also, this is just kind of hilarious, particularly this one: 4. Noah Mayer, Classic Self-Denial. Probably the most textbook case in Oakdale, the troubled aspiring filmmaker just needs to be hit with the "Luke Snyder is awesome" stick, and straight man Dusty is just the one to smack him with it.

What have I been doing today(1)? Why, I am so glad you asked! I have been reading [livejournal.com profile] yuletide fic, hanging out on YouTube and listening to my lovely Christmas present music. And here I show you the fruits of all this: A Post in Three Acts.

Act I: Monty Python )

Act II: Yuletide )

Brief intermission: The Tudors Trailer -- I'm a bit...I don't know. I can't decide if I think this is going to be good, or not.

Act III: Music )

Thank you for tonight - we hope you've enjoyed the show!

(And now - to bed! To bed!)


(1) well. Today and the past few days. There are limits to the hours of the day)

Lots of movies in my life, this December, lots of good ones. Tonight was Good Night and Good Luck which is not only absolutely amazing plot-wise, but also one of the most beautiful films I've seen, cinematography-wise. And god, the acting was wonderful. And just an excellent opening and closing sequence.

Yesterday and the day before? I went through the wardrobe )

And tomorrow, it's Brokeback Mountain and Miss Sofie. HEE!

So, Yuletide fics are in! And lo' there are far, far too many good ones.

And the story I got? Is so amazing. You wouldn't believe it, which is why it's my first rec, because not only is it exactly what I wanted, it's also one of the best fics this years.

Every Good Girl Does Fine, Peanuts, G.
Patty and Marcie's senior year. It's incredibly well written and wonderfully quiet and *sweet* in such a lovely unsentimental way. A lot of the regulars on Peanuts make an appearance, all wonderfully in character and the friendship between Marcie and Patty rings so true - it's gorgeous. It's wonderful. I hadn't dare hope for anything this amazing and it just...it just works so well, so *right*. And Patty's enthusiam just dances off the page.

The rest of my recs )
