Things about me:

1. I am mostly fine! Working a lot, walking a lot.

2. Tonight I'm going to go see a play starring Darth Vader and Jessica Fletcher. I am excited.

3. I went to see Star Trek 2: Electric Boogaloo, the following are my scattered thoughts: ( This may harsh your squee, it also contains SPOILERS...Collapse )

Fanfiction is purely for escapism and reality has no place: discuss.

People on fandomsecrets are saying Ashes to Ashes is a better show than Life on Mars.

... I don't get that AT ALL. Even if you like it more? It is, in no objective way, a better made show. The beginning was dire, both Ash and Matt admitted that the tone was off in S1, the way it was shot up until S3 was awful, the plot holes were many and gigantic, the level of quipping and emotional resonance were lacking in comparison to LoM.

Should I always read "so and so is a better show" as "so and so is a better show for my tastes"? Probably. I just... there are lots of things I adore but I can always objectively say, "oh yeah, this is technically more adept in comparison, but I loooooove [x], [y] & [z] of that more."

I've been back at work this week. I really don't know where this break went. (Sleeping, eating, writing --- in that order.) Monday was training, Tuesday I did the big stationery shop & resource making, Wednesday I went in to set up my classroom, today we start our two days of planning days.

Next Monday there's no school as it's a bank holiday due to it being Australia Day on Saturday, so school starts Tuesday. 10 weeks with new students --- which sounds both tiny and interminable, depending on how it goes and how much I manage to cover.

Sometimes I want to rub my face all over Life on Mars fandom's faces.

basaltgrrl is running an Artathon! And even people like me who can't actually draw can join in, because digital graphic work such as icons, gifsets, wallpapers and photo manips are eligible. But also, eeee, seeing the work of all the artists in the fandom is going to be amazing.

FINNEMORE! \o/

How sad is it that I showered literally for the sole reason of ordering pizza and having it delivered?

I totally forgot to pretend to be from the future and post Happy New Year when it became one in Adelaide, but Happy New Year everyone! Sorry for falling asleep on you!

I hope 2013 sucks less for you all than 2012, and if 2012 was a good year, I hope it's even better. ♥ ♥ ♥

I wrote more Teen Wolf fic, Scott/Stiles this time, because multi-shipper, yo. Quiet, Heart.

It's mostly character study and quiet reflection, because that is always going to be my default.
