10 more recs, due south and star wars

Okay, here's the rest of those Due South bookmarks I recently saved. I eventually ran out, so this is tragically fewer than ten. For some reason, ten seems like a good number of recs to post at a time to me.

So to make up the difference, here's four new Star Wars bookmarks, Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan, which was what I started reading next.

The way that happened was that after I ran out of Smallville, and then Deep Space Nine, and then Due South, I started trying to think of what other fandoms I read about the same time that might be useful to revisit. But I recently went back through Highlander (which I read for much of 2004-2005), and I've reread SGA (which appeared in 2005) much more recently than the others. I originally read Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan (then TPM), in contrast, in... 2002, maybe, or maybe 2001? And I have revisited the fandom in the past, but I think the last time was probably pre-2011, so it was the longest gap I could come up with. There's a whole new era of this pairing now informed by all the new Disney-Star Wars canon, even though, rather amusingly, one of the principal characters was already dead before Attack of the Clones. The Master Apprentice archive, which was where I initially read the pairing, has also now been imported to AO3, so there's both new and old to browse side by side.

Twenty days late, and tragically without any sweetened coffee beverages: haircut pictures

I posted about cutting all my hair off - buzzing it off, really, because I was using the trimmer, although most of it is still over 1cm long - but I didn't post any pictures at the time. Since then I did manage to go back with the trimmer and more time and even it out to my satisfaction, and then it's also had a few weeks to grow out since then.



The last time I got so many compliments on a haircut was when I switched back from Manic Panic because I decided not to torture my scalp with peroxide anymore, and I cut my hair - a bleach-fried layered bob with grown-out roots and faded color - and dyed the remaining orangey bleach bits back to brown. The reaction was probably mostly to the disappearance of the faded bleached bits with the long dark roots, which made for a dramatic change.

I do like this, and I had lots of fun, although the quantity of compliments has been a surprise! But I will be avoiding hair this short in back for the colder months in future, though. The back of my head and behind my ears keep getting cold (hence the headband).
