Had a very pleasant day yesterday with china_shop, woolly_socks and morebliss for Outrageous Fortune S1 (I forgot how awesome it is) and then morebliss introduced me to Life on the Murder Scene.

Which, well, I thought I was basically immune to MCR flavoured bandom. Now? Not so much. Gerard's earnestness and comic books love, and Frank's hyperactivity and cuteness, Bob's camera kicking, Brian's ... well, hotness, and Ray's surprising talkativeness was all very happy-making. (Mikey, I do like you too, mostly).

Two things give me a little pause, they do take themselves a little seriously (well, okay Gerard does, but he's pretty awesome while doing so) and I'm not so much for the blood imagery (small squick), but I think they've moved away from that a little? Anyway hardly large impediments. ;)

So, yeah, this might be amusing.

Other fandom things:

- I finished Mad Men S1 and it is one awesome show. I need to track down S2.

( Small ramble about Mad Men kinda OTP that turned longer )

- I wasn't such a big fan of the most recent Kings episode, which may have been a result of being really tired well watching, but I'm still intrigued, and hear it may not be long for TV land. *sigh* Well, with those ratings everyone keeps going on about.

- Heroes: Still there, mostly. HRG rocked the most recent ep.

I think that's it. ;) Now I've ticked Mad Men off, I think I need to continue my Wire watching.

Also, I have lost the battle with myself about whether a hollow chocolate bunny is appropriate breakfast food. Nom, Easter.

Briefly dialing in as I have the house to myself.

Christmas was relaxed but good, even if the weather didn't come to the party. I've also caught up with friends and uh, taken advantage of some Boxing Day Sales *ducks* (new digital camera, so pretty).

I also got a chance to check Yuletide this morning and OMG, so glad I did.

I got an awesome Vanion/Sephrenia story and also a bonus awesome Vanion/Sephrenia treat!

Moving Forward
A great series of scenes with bonus political bitching, great character voices and a lovely little touches of canon tied in.

Blessings
Grumpy Vanion is Grumpy. Love it.

I have been making this request since the first Yuletide I particpated in, and now there are two! Yay Yuletide!

Also, quick rec, there's another great David Eddings Elenium series fic, Four Lessons on the Alcoine Order. It's Tynian/Ulath! <3 The other pairing I've always wanted to read fic about, and the character voices are awesome.

I read these books an insane amount as a teenager and it's so cool to have some good fic set in the universe.

Off to read more ...

Random aside: Jon Walker/William Beckett. *dies of the pretty* You cannot have forsaken this pairing, bandom. It warrants some investigation on my part. Damn. ;)
