Tremendulent!

Hullo, new people and old friends! That friending meme was amazing! If you haven't heard about it yet, get thee over to Snickfic's No Frill Multi-fandom Friending Meme, there are a lot of people looking for folks to chat with.

So! A Seren Update!

1. I didn't get the job I interviewed for on Monday. Ah well. I'm not super disappointed, however? I mean, I'm bummed that I didn't get it, but I don't think it would have been a good fit. I had a chance to speak to one of the other applicants and she was WAY more qualified than I was and I hope she's the one they went with. I still have several applications out there but good Lord, the hiring process is so. slow. *grumbles*

2. In other news, writing and research continues. I've been able to spend nearly every other day at the library in the afternoon and that's been so good. I know where I'm going with the original novel thing and it's becoming fun as opposed to This Thing That I Need to Just Write Already.

3. In fannish news, the only thing I've been consuming lately is Bob's Burgers with the fam. This show cracks me up. I (and only me) have been keeping up with From Dusk til Dawn because the relationship between Ranger Freddie and his wife, Margaret is awesome. I almost want to write something...

4. The weather has been so gorgeous lately. The sea was this deep blue yesterday and so still! Perfect weather really for the UK. It can't possibly last.

5. If you are looking for an entertaining audiobook, I highly recommend The Lord of the Rings read by Rob Inglis. Le husband and I are listening to it at night and it's SO good. I was falling asleep the other night and he woke me up for the Eomer part. 'It's your man,' he said. The boy knows me well. (reminder to import more Karl icons over here...)

Happy Thursday! ♥

Y'all.

Jane Eyre isn't going to be released in the UK until September.

SEPTEMBER!!!!!

I CANNOT WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!! *sobs*

Why? Why is a film that was filmed in the UK, starring several UK actors and actresses, WRITTEN BY SOMEONE IN THE UK, not being shown IN THE BLOODY UK?!?

*grumbles and goes to make a cup of tea*

Anyway! Pictures! I haven't done this in a bit and felt the urge.

Have some pictures of Evan and Hannah, Quinn and Nick, and Janice and Jim.

Happy Thursday!

Fings!

1. Happy Thanksgiving, United States peoples! I hope you all have lovely dinners and eat some mashed potatoes and cranberries for me! Although, the best part of Thanksgiving? The sandwich made the next day out of leftovers. omnomnomnom

2. Watched Easy A. Loved it! Absolutely adorable. Is it wrong that I want Olive and Mr. Griffiths to meet up when she graduates from college and becomes a teacher? They then have awkward encounters in the break room and fun conversations about literature. And he maybe takes her out for dinner.... Never mind.

3. Word count on original thing: 8,567. This is what happens when I say 'Oh, it'll be short. I'll go for a minimalist approach.' *sighs* I really need to finish it this weekend so I can work on exchange fics. (Hello Yuletide and McCoy/Chapel. I have PLANS for both of you)

4. IT SNOWED TODAY!!! So pretty! And cold.

Happy Thursday!

So, I'm deliberately not looking at my Big Bang for the next 48 hours in order to approach it later with new eyes and do some editing.

Instead I'm just reading a lot and spending far too much time on tumblr.

You know what's an amazing time-suck? Going to delicious and typing in a favourite pairing and then reading fic and gazing at picspams. I'm currently in a Mulder/Scully mood and there are over 2,000 entries on delicious for them.

I'm thinking a re-watch is in order. I've totally forgotten most of the mytharc stuff. I might skip the cancer-arc though, that seemed to go on for too long.

However, my all time favourite episode is probably Quagmire with Big Blue and the Ahab speech.

( I've always wanted a peg-leg - Spoilers )

I, for some reason, don't have any X-Files icons, so Ripley and Hicks will have to do. Woohoo, Aliens!

I will be the first to say that my mom has issues. And she has not taken me moving to an entirely different country with, let's say, aplomb. However, sometimes she really gets things right.

She sent me a care package that arrived yesterday complete with a sweater, two recent Vanity Fairs (Johnny Depp and Heath Ledger!), a few paperbacks INCLUDING two Jennifer Crusie Harlequins she found after I told her I was getting into her novels! I can never make fun of my mom's extensive romance novel collection after this.

AND

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! I HAVE THIN MINTS, SAMOAS AND TAGALONGS IN MY HOUSE!!!

This fills me with glee. Johnny Depp, Jennifer Cruise and Girl Scout Cookies. My mom is awesome.

And since we're on the subject of romance novels and stuff: ladykink. It looks like fun!

Happy Thursday, everyone!
