Yes, I'm still alive! Survived 14 days of family vacation so far and am pretty sure I will survive the last 4 days as well...

Lots of fun to be had traveling the US West Coast down and loads of shopping done. Minor family crisis about the use of chicken stock in Thai Curries only to be almost completely derailed by my moms astute observation that the recession in the US can't have been that bad because everything in Las Vegas and Palm Springs still seems to be the same. (For the sake of christmas I didn't even headdesk at all)

Read all the posts about Merlin and now feel like I will have to actually watch the whole season. :)

Most important though I did realize I should probably say for those who don't know yet: if you don't have any plans for New Years, you are all invited! If you happen to live close by enough to want to make the trip. *g*

yes, I shall make sadappy a new word. I am sad, but I am happy! :)

So, I was kind of bitten by the American Idol bug for the last few weeks, because not only were there two contestants I really liked, but...incidentally they also really liked each other!

So I made a vid!



But in case you have no idea what I am talking about here a Pheejun Primer!

Thank you for all the nice Birthday Wishes and stuff! *shucks*

And I hope everyone (who wasn't hanging out at my place that is) had a great New Years. We've spent the first two hours of 2012 watching 2012 as you do when you are awesome, so my New Years rocked!

On top of that, I got a really great story for tsnsecretsanta which is Andrew/Jesse and beyond awesome. It has poetry in it (awesome poetry that is) and poet Jesse (who also writes children's books) and artist Andrew.

So go read here. You know you want to! :)

Whee, how much do I love Big Bang Time?

A lot!

So, some recs from the Social Network Big Bang at thesocialbbang

Changing Paramters by janonny (36,000 words)
Summary: In the year 2671, Mark is rich, famous and estranged from Eduardo. But none of that matters anymore, because his origin as a man-made android is about to be leaked out to the public.
This was beautiful. I wasn't really convinced by the summary because the idea just seemed strange to me. And then I read it and OMG, the author actually managed to make me understand robot!Mark and his emotions in a way that made it even easier for me to understand human!Mark from the movie. And the story managed to not ever stray into a terretory where Mark's actions were because he was an android.

almost, finally, finally by fledmusic (27,000 words)
Summary: Sequel to these things get louder. The first year of Mark and Eduardo's long-distance romance, featuring PDAs in formal wear, revelations about cookies, drama over Facebook info updates, and realizations that absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder quite so much as it makes the heart grow frustrated.
This one I liked even better than the prequel which I liked a lot. So, it is very domestic and established relationship but I happen to love that! And IMO there aren't really enough fics out there that actually show the relationship as opposed to the getting together. So 27,000 words of them figuring out how they can manage to make their relationship work and some nice angst thrown in between is perfection!

So yay, waiting for more now! *g*

So hee, I'm still alive?!

Well, I'm always around reading but it seems I am getting worse and worse about posting. Not much too say I guess. *g*

< okay, no laughing from those who know my RL blabbermouth >

mhm, having much fun in any fandom that isn't Merlin at the moment but there you go. :)

Aaaand, playing around with setting up a Twitter update thing for the Social Network kink meme. Because newslettering isn't enough....*headdesk*

But still, in case anyone cares, TSN_Wip_Track @Twitter. It is only slightly spammy, so probably only for those who really want regular updates for *all* the WIPs on the meme.

Will totally do a Rec post soon about my favorite TSN stories, simply because there are so many of them. And I feel the need to share! *g*

Also, much love for X-Men, but that is not surprising, is it? If anyone wants to rec me some x-men fic, I actually have two days off and need input!!!!

...I'm still alive. *g*

Aaaaaaand thank you everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday! I am slowly now crawling back into normal life what with London Trips (Miranda FTW!!!!), Vacation, Christmas, New Years and everything else.

Still slowly killing brain cells by watching CSI:Miami mostly now, because it's like this car wreck and I can't look away! I have no idea how the same franchise could produce CSI:LV, and CSI:Miami. Honestly, me, the procedural junky....haven't seen anything this bad (and I watched all of Law and Order - yes, every single version and spin off)

Oh well, even better...I started this project at work (well, we started it 6 months ago but only now did someone realize we needed the outcome like in 2 weeks so it all kicked into high gear today) and it's slightly insane how a company as big as ours can be so clueless about keeping information digitally stored.

We just tried to call the firm who does our printing for us, hoping they might still have copies of these really really important documents that no one at our company has any idea where it could be. Obviously neither does the printer firm (they were kind of laughing at us though when we asked).

*goes back to killing more brain cells* Only 3 more seasons to go!!!!

Even if you wouldn't notice were you to read the sheer number of none posts I made the last year or so. *g*

Well, anyway...in case you are wondering what my friending/defriending spree was all about on LJ, I've been doing a new sort through and decided to refriend ppl that I am reading on DW but filtering you out. Instead of defriending. Which makes sense. I'm sure it does somewhere. *g*

I will also go back and remove a lot of my content from LJ but I will keep the posts up and link to the corresponding DW entries so for anyone searching for something you will still be able to find it.

It's not like any of the LJ fail actually made that decision for me (to be quite honest, LJ fucking with everyone is not really surprising or new) but it did remind me to get some of the stuff done I've been wanting to do for a while.

So, I am still going to use my LJ flist because I like reading what goes on there, but I am moving my content primarily to DW. It will be linked whenever I post but should it be flocked and I haven't given you access on DW to read, give me a heads up and I can do that.

Though I rarely flock anything anyway, so don't be afraid that you will miss anything.

And I guess, to be quite honest, I feel like if anyone actually gives a fuck about anything I say, they can follow a link to read my posts on DW just like I follow everyone else who only posts on LJ. Though, to be even more honest...since I rarely post or comment to begin with its mostly a moot point anyway. *g*

My Vids you will still be able to find either way. ;)
