Late Night

[clevermanka]

Does anybody who follows me here read Arthur/Eames? I just wrapped up this amazing story and although I will never re-read it, it's one of the best-written fics I've experienced. The characterization is fantastic, the plot is intricate and heavily detailed, the action scenes are nothing short of brilliant, and the sex is hot. It doesn't romanticize or glamorize at all what it would be like to be a professional criminal. It's long, and worth it. The author of that fic left in the comments to it her rec list for that pairing. A lot of the links are dead or locked, but I hope to find some available gems.

Check out these amazing coloring books. Just for the record, if anyone's ever interested in buying me something, I'd be interested in Art Nouveau Patterns, or any of the three Mehandi design books.

Yesterday was a wonderfully relaxing day. I really-for-real practiced some yoga, and I got a two hour nap in the afternoon (!) and felt fine for the 11pm Latenight Callers show at Replay. Oh my goodness so many people were there! I'm so happy my LNC friends are pulling such great crowds.

Lots to get done today, though. Laundry never sleeps.

ETA: I'm sending the ephemera packages today to the people who asked for them. If you like what I sent and would like more, let me know and we can work something out. I'm not worried about getting reimbursed for the $3 postage on these 6oz mailings, but if you want more (which I'd be thrilled to provide), a few bucks via PayPal would be appreciated.

I'm so glad to hear that you were well enough to go out and have a good time!
OH the stained glass book must be lovely! I wish you could see more of the pages.

Aren't they gorgeous! There's a certain humor in wanting these books as I'm trying to shed ephemera (three people asked for envelopes YAY but I would love to get rid of more). But coloring books I could easily pick up and put down without dragging out everything I need to do a collage piece...

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Right. And you could wait til the weekly Michael's 40% off coupon for the pencils or markers. I wonder if pastel pencils would work well?

Those coloring books are fantastic!

Ada was given one of the artist ones. I don't remember which one though.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

They'd for sure require pencils instead of crayons...which of course I don't have those, either. Oh no, more art supplies? What a briar patch!

I have some coloring books and am forcing myself to live with the fine point Sharpies I have now and not go on a marker buying spree. But but but . . .

Yeay! So glad you had a relaxing day & a nice evening out!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Me, too! And I got my errands done early, so now all I need to do is food prep and laundry. I might have time to watch a movie tonight!

Yay for a good day!

I don't read Arthur/Eames, but your rec for that fic is compelling, and I'll probably pick it up.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I hope you like it! It's pretty violent, just FYI.

[write-out.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a fantastic weekend so far!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I was down for the count on Sunday, alas, but that meant Movie Time and we finally saw Kingsman. So yay!

[write-out.livejournal.com]

Yay! What did you think?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I thought exactly what everyone else said. Absolutely fantastic, flawless, until that stupid fucking pointless male-gaze-y ass shot in the last ten seconds.

[write-out.livejournal.com]

YESSSS. I have the dvd and I just ignore that part. SO fucking terrible.

I love Arthur/Eames. I went through a binge-reading thing about a month ago where I reread all of my favorite fics and a bunch of new ones from a rec list - not the one you linked to.

And I have several of those coloring books, I love them so much. My favorite are John Wik's tessellation patterns. I also have a couple of the mehndi ones.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Please feel free to pass along your rec list! Just sayin'!

Ooooh, those coloring books!! <3

I'm so glad you had a relaxing day yesterday!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

And I nearly got the laundry done yesterday!

WOO HOO! :D
