time and relative dimension in space

We went out and saw Despicable Me at the cheapo illegal theater today, and omg it was adorable. ♥ I want a Minion of my very own.

Someone get on that for me, pls.

30 Days Of TV:

Day 29 ♥ Current TV show obsession

Doctor Who.

*refers you to the past 21 days of the below meme for proof*

30 Days Of Who:

Day 22 ♥ A Who-Related Fan-Site

The Evolving Guide to Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Moments in Doctor Who

It hasn't been updated since 'Waters of Mars' and some of the examples are seriously reaching ("A flaming English police box!", really?) but it's a great way to spend time and some of the examples are fabulous.

Which one I'm going to tackle next I haven't decided yet.

Day 18 ♥ Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

Has everyone seen this yet?!



AMAHZING.

You know how I said that you'd be hearing more about my love of Ghostwriter this month? WELL, THIS IS IT.

And this is the reason why.

My copy arrived late yesterday and I spent six-plus hours today watching the first two discs. (Which initially set my brother complaining but by mid-disc-two he admitted to me that it was entertaining and one of the brighter parts of his day. SCORE.)

It is dorky, hopelessly nineties, incredibly PBS, and bordering on so-bad-it's-awesome, and oh God I love it.

Randomly, I found this post about what the cast of Ghostwriter is up to these days; very few of them are still involved in acting. Also, apparently Ghostwriter was Tram-Anh Tran's first and only foray into professional drama, which I did not know.

30 Days Of TV Meme:

Day 13 ♥ Favorite childhood show

I admit it: I was a massive Ghostwriter geek. I had a pen on a necklace and a composition notebook devoted to following cases and everything. SUCH A DORK.

I had a huge crush on Alex at the time. And I'm pretty sure I didn't see the immense embarrassing dorkiness of Lenni's raps until I was older.

You'll be hearing more about my Ghostwriter addiction later this month, just so you're forewarned.

I spent today with teh Niki. Who is awesomesauce incarnate. Trufax.

...it was a good day. Exhausting. But good. <3



I missed a day with this meme, so here's two at once:

Day 20 &hearts A hobby of yours

...um.

I collect musical theatre recordings.

(That totally counts as a hobby, right? Collecting stuff?)

I have ~50 recordings of Chess. Possibly this is a warning sign of either a hoarder or an obsessive personality.


Day 21 &hearts A recipe

Triple Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Ingredients:
3/4 c. butter, cubed
4 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. baking cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips, divided
2 tsp. shortening

Directions:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate; cool. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; add sugar and eggs. Beat until smooth.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle. (This is important! Your dough will be more like brownie batter before you chill it--it's okay, it'll firm up in the fridge.)

Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 7-9 minutes or until edges are set and tops are slightly cracked. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat shortening and remaining chocolate chips on high for 1 minute or until chips are melted; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 6 dozen.

Day 13 ♥ A fictional book

*pokes at bookshelf* Hmm.

I'm going to rec you guys "Fragile Things" by Neil Gaiman. It's a short story collection and it's fantastic. Favorites: "Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire", which is just indescribable in its awesomeness; "The Flints Of Memory Lane", which may be my favorite ghost story ever; "Fifteen Painted Cards From A Vampire Tarot", which does fabulous things to vampire mythology; and "The Day The Saucers Came", which, again, defies summation.

Srsly, go read.

YOU GUYS. allfireburns is like the most awesome person EVER.

OMG YAY.

*fills post with squee*

Clips from the upcoming episode of Doctor Who. AMY. She's fab. ♥

First-Person Tetris. It is really hard but also fantastic. Thank you, xkcd rss feed, you always share awesome things with me.

Lostpedia theorizes about this week's episode. Lostpedia, y'all are awesome.

Also related: Look, I has a shiny new LOST icon!

Finally, this week's Daisy Owl is possibly too adorable for words.

I don't think I realized until just now just how much is coming out in April. The new series of Doctor Who, the new Young Wizards book, the new Dresden Files book...

And I have been waiting for all of it for so long!

...okay, objectively it hasn't actually been that long since we last had new Doctor Who on our screens. And it's only been about a year since the last Dresden Files release. A year is a long time, but, still.

On the other hand, it has been basically forever since we last had new Young Wizards.

In the leadup to release, the YW site is posting wallpapers inspired by the new book using Mars Global Surveyor imagery, Jim Butcher's site is posting previews of the first four chapters, and Doctor Who spoilers continue to leak with the production team being...really closed-mouth.


In unrelated news, I just broke out my Fuselage account for the first time in years in order to read LOST spoilers. Some of them are encouraging, some of them are depressing, one of them I think riviyan_questa would be excited about. Just sayin'.
