I write myself notes about things I want to post about
And then never post.
But here's a few things I thought of at work today (one of those days filled with tedious busywork and nothing interesting... but I can listen to music, which led to some of this stuff).
+++ Watching Firefly right now, and man, every inch of this show is just as good as I remember. Everyone is so damn pretty, and everyone is so complicated, and I really really really want the Kaylee/Inara friendship/teaching porn. With lots of giggling and hairbrushing and smiles. And Jayne/everyone (especially where Jayne is all submissive) and all the Zoe/Wash in the world. And gen fic about Book. And Book-Inara friendship fic. ALSO, THIS JUST IN: Itty bitty Simon was played by Zac Efron. Hee hee hee.
+++ BREAKOUT KINGS. I love this show - I am sincerely hooked.![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lady_krysis wrote Ray/Charlie fic, No Need for Even Going. True to form, she likes Ray and Charlie (especially Charlie) and I, of course, love Shea, Lloyd, and Erica. Especially Shea. He is 
. Also I love Lloyd because he's a dorky geek with no social skills but of course ridiculously smart and sure of his smarts.
??? We had our office party today. We do them monthly to just celebrate whatever birthdays/weddings/pregnancies/house buyings/whatever comes up. Normally the big boss dude doesn't come to these parties. I would've said he was avoiding them (which is probably fine, as the entire office is women and he's a dude's dude), but he's showed up for the last couple, and been remarkably friendly. This time, in a lull in the conversation, he says, in a voice loud enough for the whole room to hear, "Who here is watching Game of Thrones?" You could've heard a pin drop in the room. The only other fannish person in the room (that I was sitting next to) muttered "Ronon" in my ear, and I grinned. Everyone else was just sort of stunned into silence. I said something about George R. R. Martin and catching up on episodes and he said that you can find special features on the HBO website. The rest of the women in the office all just sort of looked bemused and then went back to talking about their gardens and diets. SO. WEIRD. (I haven't seen any Game of Thrones yet, btw, or I would've had better things to say. I've only read half of the first book and it was years ago and I was totally flailing.)
+++ The cake for the celebration was the deliciousest thing ever. Moist almondy cake with light lemon frosting in between the layers, covered in buttercream and marzipan. OM NOM NOM.
--- So, someone posted a bunch of music the other day, and was lamenting the fact that they now knew that John Mayer is kind of a dick. I love John Mayer's stuff - I like his lyrics and some of the music parts (not all of either) and I... it's one of those things that makes me sad, when people whose art I like are dicks. I wouldn't spend money on John Mayer anymore, but what about people like Matthew Gray Gubler, who says that Roman Polanski is one of his favorite directors? It makes me sad; at some point the sadness overcomes the enjoyment of the media. Where that point is depends on a lot of things, but... it's... some days it bothers me more than others.
--- Weirdly, a song on my Windows Media Player that has suddenly started to play faster. It's A Place for My Head by Linking Park, off of Hybrid Theory. Now, I wasn't thrilled with the song in the first place, but this new faster tempo makes it doubly annoying. Anybody heard of this sort of thing? Any fixes for it?
--- I've got a whole post about things from my morning commute. Maybe I'll write that up later. <3
