angst in the morning

i just deleted about six attempts to not be a mad, raving fangirl about the fic i just read. but i still can't control the impulse. so. OMG i just read the most amazing DiR fic ever!!! liek, omgwtflol!!!11!!1! read it right now! ahem. that is to say, this story is very, very well done. quiet and intense in a way that grates on your nerves and brings you right into the heavy tension that pervades the story. i did not expect goodness on this level when i followed that link this morning. i've been floored by it.

in other news. mm. i have sworn up and down to myself that today will be productive day. we all know what that means. that it will really be berate myself for not being productive day. i'll try to keep that to a minimum - or at least not post about it.

yesterday i heard again from ex-rommie!L and her e-mail made me cry because i love her and miss her so much. her reaction to my slash-obsession and such is just... well, exactly what i should have known it would be. perfect. because, my god, who in my life would understand obsession better than she? camillafarfalla is giving it a good go... ;) but damn. <3

and. choir has lost its romance after a second rehearsal. i sat next to a warbler (in a early music choir! wtf was she doing there?), anney sat next to an annoying woman who thought she was better than everyone else, the sopranos were too frickin loud and i sang badly in my attempts to compensate. the reading wasn't as strong as last week. still, we were making pretty music which always beats not making pretty music. and i got to hang out with anney.

and then we watched queer eye with jenny. ahhh, it was such a relief after last weeks horrific disaster. phew.

first task of Productive Day is to deal with my scary e-mail situation. scaryscary.

shout out to the valley-ites

buffy is chez moi this week. friday. witch and teacher's pet. i'm going to try to get back earlier than usual from boston, but to be safe, let's say we should gather at 8:30. good? there will be snacks - not like a real sit down dinner because there won't be time to prepare but yeah, snacky foods for all.

so, who's coming? if you need directions, let me know and i'll send them along.

palante

right, i can't believe if forgot to squee about this! that lotr movie exhibit that's in london? um... this one. camillafarfalla found out it's coming boston!!! ::flails::

muahaha. e-mail is my bitch. that is to say, i'm finally more or less caught up. it really took forever. ::sigh:: and it's really all i've done. i'm going to have to join numb_ass_pride. i think i'll do something crazy now like go take a walk in the cemetery.

so, the desert island fic meme? this isn't really that. it would take me forever to figure out what they are. but here's what's in my folder that only gets the really good stuff. hp only. and these are all fairly recent - none of my classic beloved faves. because i have been horrible about keeping track of those... i am generally really bad about organizing these things... and so these are really quite random...
-bonibaru's patterns
-fidelius by tradescant. i rec this story like it's my job. maybe it is. and the companion piece - secret-keeper
-dandelion by ivyblossom
-your darkest voice - chap 4 by ivyblossom. i have some serious issues with this story. which is should have but never did express to ivy. this chapter, however, is nothing but breathtaking and gorgeously painful.
-a collections of bits of pandarus's invisible to see.
-your every wish by mistful. this fic disturbed me so thoroughly it deserves my rec.
-hereafter by zionsstarfish. if i could only read one sirius/remus for the rest of my days, this would be it.
-untitled harry/dean by ceresi. something about this story and the way it works in with canon is just right.
-unfinished business by cupiscent. a mature h/d. who woulda thunk it?
-all the sinners, saints by musesfool. i've said before that i'm a picky woman when it comes to sirius/remus. this one gets it just right/

also, starbuckle will be proud, i read cupiscent's the answer today. and yes. it's all true. extreme hotness. dom/keira/orli. ::fans self::

ETA - link to bonibaru's story is fixed.
