weekend in points

[rivendellrose]

Watched The Return of the King extended edition for the umpteen-billionth time on Friday, starting at almost 10pm. Managed not to strangle Boy's friends as they talked and made jokes through the movie, or to bite anyeon's heads off due to being sleepy. Go me.

Have successfully convinced the Boy that cooking is fun and easy, and something we can do together. Again, go me. ♥

Accomplished a little bit of progress on writing while he played video games. Not much, but every little bit helps.

Tried to watch The Illusionist, but both agreed that we didn't give a damn and would have preferred two hours of Edward Norton performing CG magic tricks. Gave up and watched "Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog" instead, which the Boy quite enjoyed. This gives me hope for when we finally get through to the Buffy Musical, which, to be honest, I would be heartbroken if he didn't enjoy, because I love it entirely too much for my own sanity.

Over the course of the weekend, Boy was a) aware of me writing guy/guy smut behind his back while he played video games, and had no issues with this, b) completely nonplussed when I switched screens abruptly as he looked over my shoulder and I admitted that I'd been reading fanfiction, and c) upon seeing that I had a folder on my desktop titled "UtherMorgana," asked only if I was now crushing on Morgana, as well as Uther. This is love, folks. ;)

IT'S FREAKING SNOWING HERE, AGAIN. I know this is normal for some parts of the country, but... but... ack. That said, I got stupidly giddy when I noticed that for a while they were such tiny, neat little flakes that one could actually see that they were snowflake shaped, as in beautiful little stars. ♥ Even when I anticipate it making my life miserable, I can't help loving snow. It's so pretty!

Played "Pixel Junk" and... er... some other video game that was apparently coded in Liverpool, and which had stunningly gorgeous graphics. And I enjoyed them. I adored Pixel Junk, and will be forced to play it again until I get, well, at least competent. I don't normally get into video games, but this one is just too damned pretty and awesome. ♥

ALSO: Apparently, some kind person nominated my Harry/Sarah fic, "Best Served Hot," for the Classic Who crack-fic category at Children of Time. Much love, and many thanks if you're reading this. ♥
