To add to the chorus, holy fuck delicious.That is some major fail right there. I have like many others signed up for Pinboard. I am aworldinside because I decided to keep the name (even if I have considered changing my DW/LJ names, but anyway). I haven't had a chance to explore a lot, but hey seem to be offering the better service, and this tweet was kinda cute. Someone is trying to get fan attention as opposed to barely tolerating it. ;)

The bookmarklet does not seem to be working though. *pokes at it* I wanted to save this awesome H50 2.02 fix-it by Cate but eh, will figure it out later when I have more energy.

If anyone is curious, there is a post on AO3 about the delicious!fail and what AO3 does offer - which isn't a full replacement at all, but it is something. If you do want to help out as a coder (or a tester? I would love you forever) - there's a link in the post to contact the lovely people at VolCom.

There's also a post about the 502 errors that people have been experiencing recently if anyone's curious. We're working on it, I swear. :)

I got not one but two H50 vid bunnies today. Well one is an idea that's been percolating for awhile. I think I'm really going to have to make it, and I have some time this weekend ...

I knew I uploaded this icon for a reason. His face!

Spent five hours locked out of the house today. Fail. So, while I was waiting for my flatmate to get home, I spent lots of time reading comics in the library (Balham Library have a surprisingly awesome collection) and then I grabbed a beer. Central London would have been much more fun to kill time in, but I was already on my way home when I realised that my keys were not in my bag.

Didn't get the Tuesday job, but had another interview today, and I think it went fine, but, well, we'll see, I guess. Trying not to think about it too much. Going to Cambridge tomorrow, so that will hopefully be cool. Camera doesn't seem to want to work properly though. Sigh.

Anyway, why I actually posted, comics rambling! (Combined from today and yesterday, when I was at Clapham Library reading comics, it seems to have been that sort of week).

I mostly read Avengers and Iron Man trades, because my tiny Tony Stark obsession rolls on.

New Avengers Vol 3 )


New Avengers: Secret Invasion Book 1 )


Iron Man: Doomquest )


I also re-read Iron Man: Extremis because it, and Warren Ellis, are awesome, and flicked through Ultimate Iron Man 2 and put it right back on the shelf. Orson Scott Card WTF are you doing to Ultimate!Tony>?! I am predisposed to dislike you already because of your wing-nutty politics, but seriously WTF.

And I finally read The Dark Knight Returns as everyone goes on about how it changed comics blah blah, so I thought I should actually give it a look. My usual dislike of Frank Miller aside, it was actually quite cool. Spoiler, of sorts )

Spent what basically amounts to my whole weekend flat-hunting. Saw some nice places, but so many people are looking at the moment and a lot of them said they were making the decision this weekend ... and it's 9pm. So, I'm not liking my chances. Not that I have had anyone say no, but ... yeah. A lot of people don't let you know if you haven't got it. I'd actually appreciate the 'no' texts at this point, just so I can cross them off the mental list and kick the small thought that 'hey, maybe they just haven't decided yet' clear across the room.

There is one deciding tomorrow and that one is actually my favourite of all the ones I saw, but I kept saying stupid things while talking to them, and ugh. Fuck, I wanted this done this weekend. It's going to hang over me next week now while my friends are here. Yay. Not to mention the fact, that if this doesn't work its self out, I am without a place to live in two weeks time. Double yay.

However, on the upside SGA was adorable and Barack Obama won in a landslide.

To be honest, that squee is only getting me so far right now.

I'll just be over here with the fluffy McShep fic.
