January 2nd, 2010

In honour of the new year, Eight!icon.  Because, as we know, Eight is all about New Years.  He's a slag who kisses Earth girls at midnight.  I hope you all had a lovely and enjoyable New Years, with or without kisses from Earth girls.  Or Time Lords.

As for myself, I (or rather we- my darling flatmate Berni and myself) had a party.  And it was a proper old shindig at that; booze in enormous quantities, cookies and Dip made, kitchen cleaned 'til it was spotless, living room rearranged so as to be more conducive to sitting around, as one does at a party.  And all in all, my friends, I daresay it was a fucking awesome party.  [info]earlwyn  may vouch for me here.  Far more people than I'd expected showed up, and there were all the things necessary at a party such as this: the token sick drunk, awkward snogging, drunken dancing (and singing), some drama (just enough but not too much), and shots of Bailey's topped with aerosole whipped cream- many blowjob jokes were made.  I went to sleep at six this morning with Berni sharing my mattress because the aforementioned token sick drunk was passed out on her bed.

Generally speaking, I am not the kind of person who really parties like that.  That in mind?  Damn proud of myself.  Also, my Dip was divine- I am also, quite reasonably, I think, proud of that.

In addition to the stereotypical partying, New Years of course means Yuletide reveals.  And so I present to you my crime for Yuletide this year:

A Theory of Quantum Mechanics
A Rosencrantz and Guildenstern fanfiction
(In which Guildenstern is bothered, and past lives are invented)


Possibly as per usual, I wrote it at the extreme last minute- more last minute than usual, actually.  Within two hours.  Considering that, I'm very pleased with how it turned out.  Even that aside, I think, I'm pleased with it.  Initially, I wanted to spend more time exploring the idea of the two of them telling stories about their nonexistant pasts, but I like the format that I played around with for this.  And the Schrodinger's cat thing, which came out of bloody nowhere.  I blame Zagreus.

Also, I just watched The End of Time, part Two.  I am... conflicted.  But I will post a proper reaction post later, once I've gathered my thoughts somewhat, and possibly given it a rewatch.

A spoiler-free reaction to End of Time.

WTF. WTFINGF. *FLAIL*

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Look at that, all colourful and full of holiday cheer and Christmas spirit, etc etc.  I am positively brimming over with it.

It's certainly the weather for it, in any event.  It's been snowing since... oh, Wednesday evening, and I think we've accumulated about two feet since then.  Ridiculous, and it makes the roads hell, by all accounts, but bloody gorgeous, and I am nothing if not an aesthete.  It's snowing right now- of course it is- and it's snow like you see in the movies and all- thick and heavy and wet, swirling through the air, huge clumps of snowflakes that actually make a little noise when they hit the ground.  Just the softest of soft impacts against the heaps and billows of snow everywhere.  Looking out my window, it's like the only colours in the world are white and brown and green.

The AO3 is acting up, so I cannae see my Yuletide fic!  Rawr.  Personally, I don't see why they couldn't have just used the Yuletide archive as they've done in years past.  I mean, I get how the AO3 is a good thing, but it's still in beta, and prone to occasionally be a bit fussy, so hosting something huge like Yuletide on it seems a little backwards.  Especially when- as I'd wager is what's happened now- there's just so much going on there that's it's frozen up completely.
 
hark how the bells/sweet silver bells )


ETA: Let's see if this actually works now.  Before, it kept cutting off the entire first half of the post...
