Busy, busy, busy!

Hi!
God, so busy. And obviously today I managed to fritter away most of today being all knackered and needing recover from the rest of the week. Annoying! (Also annoying: a boiler that only works about 50% of the time, and so I have to boil water to wash the other 50%. Twice, I've had someone to look at it, but because the fault is intermittent, it's kind of hard to track down. If it carries on, he'll have to start replacing the expensive bits. Boo).

The Skins Big Bang seems to be a massive success, and I'm very much enjoying my beta-ing duties. I occasionally think I've bitten off a little more than I can chew, but hey, I like doing it, so (it's like: I have actual permission to be pedantic at people, and they can't complain. How good is that? :p ).
And talking of the Skins BB, our glorious leader (AKA shan_3414 :)) made this a few days ago, and god, it's so lovely. It makes all kinds of nostalgic. Just beautiful.

And this is utterly lovely, too (ganked from violet4120)

The third and last episode of Sherlock was rather fabulous, but it was kind of disappointing that they felt the need to do the reveal of the Big Bad so early. Had the season actually been a decent length (3 episodes is just stupidly short) it would have been a perfect way to end the season finale, but as it was, it just seemed rather rushed. Still, Moriarty was excellent, and played crazy, scary, bad really rather entertainingly, so. And given that cliff-hanger, they obviously plan on making more, so there's that to look forward to.

I'm currently taking a break from all the angst of my little Narnia story by writing ridiculously over-the-top threesome smut. It's kinda fun :p

And my down-time has mostly been spent catching up on Pretty Little Liars, Legend of the Seeker, and old episodes of Doctor Who, of course :D. Also, just because, I'm rereading Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, for the first time since 1998. I took when I went to Cornwall for the total eclipse with Steve, Mark and Lou, so that's making me feel feel kind of nostalgic too. I'm so enjoying the first appearances of Ginny though. And I just love that the first thing she says is to have a go at Draco to defend Harry. That's our Gin ♥

I hope you're all having a fabulous summer :D

"twice? you're going to leave my boiler broken twice?"

Omg, the 'From where you are' video legit made me cry, it's so good.

Ugh, that sucks about your boiler. Best thing about living in apartments is there are people who have to fix and pay for those things for you! And you never have to mow the lawn.

I only watched the first 2-3 episodes of PLL so far, thinking about catching up on it but it's almost solely for Emily and the lesbian storyline, so I'm not sure if I'm going to bother.

Sorry about your boiler. That sucks. :(

PLL is my new guilty pleasure. I can't help that my shallowness likes the pretty, lol.

That vid is amazing. ♥

Sorry to hear about your boiler. I hate it when that happens. Ridiculously OTT threeway smut you say? I'm interested! Also, sorry about not getting back to you sooner about my BB fic but I've suffered a bit of writer's block for the last few days and I just got back into it now due to re-watching Skins and looking for inspiration and I'm feeling it again, hence the new Keffy icon. =P

PLL is great. Half of the time I'm thinking "what am I doing watching this?" and the other half I just love it for its prettiness. =)

(I'll insert more grammatically errors if you like. As a token of my affections for you.)

How good is Shan though, really? She's like the queen of vids.

Boo to continued boiler disaster!

I think you'd enjoy this.

Ohhh those videos are lovely. ♥

And gah, I still haven't gotten round to watching Sherlock. I have too many things to watch!!

[dulcigomas.livejournal.com]

hey.

Sometimes I look at your site because you are friends with some of my friends, people I like quite a bit. So it would seem I would like you too.

Then I saw this video the "How to Be Alone" you shared...and that is mighty, mighty awesome. So, now I'm sure...do like...may I friend you?

Also, saving Sherlock for a rainy weekend...soon I hope.
