things i'm lovin'

• The latest Dilbert plot about the new team leader who spells his name like Jesus but it's pronounced Hay-soos. (see dilbertdaily)
  
• 
  The snow is melting. It's 8°C! It's sunny! Fuck yes! Maybe within a month it will be spring! But don't hold your breath!
  
• 
  Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. If I weren't too lazy to do all the work I would totally make a Sarah-centric vid to the Gounod Ave Maria (I have an awesome new recording of this by Kokia), plus a Cameron-centric vid to Gummiband by kent. It's a good thing I'm too lazy because there isn't a very big population of Swedish-speaking vid watchers: but it's an unbeatable temptation because their (well, his, because they're all written by Jokke) lyrics are just so much better!
  
• 
  Bones. I already loved it, but I've started rewatching it again. (Last time I started to marathon, I took a break and watched Heroes, Poirot, and TSCC instead.)
  
• 
  The endless quantity of goodfic (mixed in with badfic, but that can be fun too) available in media fandom if you look. The way I can be blown away as if for the first time by stories unearthed in my own recs page. The way fandoms I thought were dead can stir my obsession again with unexpected new stories.
  
• 
  Bran cereal with milk. It's as sweet and nutty and crunchy and delicious as a dessert. Who'd have thought something so simple would be tastier than the average restaurant-bought Finnish dessert?
  
• 
  Coloured opaque tights. I bought some red and grey ones two weeks ago, but I'm still after a purple pair and a green pair at least.
  
• 
  The way cats smell, and the way they smell better when they're warm or happy, and the way they smell even better than that when they're warm and happy.
  
• 
  The way my baby loves me! I read out loud from unnecessaryquot a lot, and just now she said in response, "Oh, I brought you a present!" and tossed me a little packet of silica gel that reads DESSICANT SILICA GEL THROW AWAY "DO NOT EAT". That's true love, dude.
  

any readers of het fanfiction out there?

Does anyone here actively read het? Not like as in, I read Morgan/Garcia whenever I can find it, or well, I've spent months looking for some decent Labyrinth fic (although both are true of me), but like, even an occasional foray into a healthy or plentiful currently active het fandom like in Harry Potter or SGA (and I don't mean like the occasional Rodney/Teyla fest populated mostly by members of slash fandom - both because I still won't break OTP and because I'm looking for het produced by primarily het shippers/writers)? Where would I start looking for recs - any ideas beyond the basic shipper communities and archives?

I've tried looking for some good het before, mainly out of curiosity and a kind of dissatisfaction, because in one way a romance is a romance, but in another way - like because gender roles are still really different in our society - it really isn't, unless the slash romance is annoyingly mischaracterised.

In consequence of such thoughts I've dipped my toe into Harry Potter several times - a couple weeks' reading, maybe four or ten novels' worth when you put it all together - under the theory that it was probably the most plentiful there, but I've never had a really good handle on where to start, or where to go after I exhausted one source (such as one goodish author). Alas, in my experience f/f seems to really flourish only in fandoms where it's canon (Xena, B5). Even in HP where there's lots of it, from what I've found it's mostly quite short and insubstantial.

baby swim the day after tomorrow again.
