this entry is absurd, and also knows what tapestries are for

Things that happen when filia_belialis and I watch The Lion in Winter at midnight:



I'm sorry, I'm so sorry?

I don't think I've properly watched The Lion in Winter since the end of high school or thereabouts, so it was fun! I can still quote most of the tapestry scene, though. And Amelia was interested in Henry's family politics, so I got to get my Plantagenet lecture on. And, while validation isn't really required because it's self-evident, it was great to hear Amelia boggle at how hot young Timothy Dalton is.

Best quote of the night, though, was also hers, re: the tapestry scene: "Worst. coming out to your family. ever."

wrist, meme

I may or may not have sprained or stress-fractured my wrist! With luck I just bruised it heavily. Anyway, pain aside, I am always fascinated by how the bits of my body that I take for granted throw the whole system off if they get out of whack. Case in point: my right wrist is the one I injured, and wow, washing my hair became a very delicate and awkward operation.

In other news, something that I am stealing pretty much wholesale from oliviacirce: I'm not technically participating in three_weeks_for_dw, because while I think it's an awesome concept and I'm trying to compile as many cool links as I can, I want to keep crossposting, if only because I know enough of you still have LJ as your default reading list, and I don't want to get lost in the shuffle. Nevertheless, three_weeks_for_dw is awesome, and it comes with this meme:

What kind of topics/entries would you like to see me posting about? Any particular questions you've always wanted to ask me but have resisted because the answer would be a huge essay? Ever want to wind me up and watch me go on a particular topic? Anything you've heard me say "I should write that entry about $foo I've been meaning to write" and have been patiently waiting for?
