bulleted points + party tomorrow?

+ turku slashas, wax says "probably sometime after seven" is ideal for our vappen slash-fangirl-costume-party.  what do you think?  7.30 too early? 

+ [livejournal.com profile] azureflight drew the  cutest good omens fandoodle EVER for [livejournal.com profile] irisbleu, here.

+ Pre Crowley/Severus, Pre Crowley/Aziraphale, Pre Flitwick/Millicent/Dreya. Yet somehow, I think that it's PG. (At this stage) i just can't wait to see the introduction to the next stage.

+ i didn't see the butterfly effect cause i heard how much it sucked, but i did see the trailer, which i think is enough to say that there are some strong similarities.  the visuals were sort of dark and edgy, and i thought the film got presented that way--"psychological", "mental hospital", "is she a hallucination or isn't she?"  so it's a good thing i didn't have my heart set on dark and edgy, because aside from the visuals it wasn't at all.  it was rather naïve in the sense of unsophisticated.  it was a romance, and it was sentimental even in ways beyond romance.  the story was quite simple and straightforward, not mind-fucking or thought-provoking (unless you want to debate the ethics of mental institutions, which you *could*, but the film doesn't even begin to).  it was pretty, well-shot, well-acted, and well-executed.  and quite enjoyable.  but it wasn't very demanding of the viewer's powers of comprehension.  i don't mean this as a criticism.  i was surprised, but not disappointed.  i actually liked it a lot.  i think there should be more fairly straightforward well-done romance films out there.  i'm a connoisseur of romance.  that's [partly?] why i love slash.  and i know i have some sentimentality lurking in me too. 

+ [livejournal.com profile] makesmewannadie posted, in batches, over 100 recs over the last two days.  if you've been looking for things lately, check it out.  she's my primary non-archive, non-crack van source of recs scrounging nowadays (oops, should i have told you that?).  some sentinel, some due south, some random rps (:curtsey for mmwd--that was sweet although i don't get the bar metaphor:), some sga, some house, some lotr rps. 

+ the birds are shining, the sun is chirping, the breeze is breezing, the afternoon is ambling and all is pretty good with the world, except i suspect wax isn't going to want to watch any more star trek.  i should've taken my chance while she was still asleep.  class is entirely over and done with.

7.30 sounds fine to me too. Me & Chi will be bringing some fizzy wine, and I have chips, and possibly something else too if I have time to nip down to the store tomorrow.

fizzy wine is great. and despite the plethora of baked goods i feel you can never have too many chips.

okay, i lie, you can, but i still like chips. wax baked TWO cakes yesterday.
