The Happy List

[sisabet]

I am still obsessed with the Vividcon Auction. Things are typically slowing down a bit (it's just Thursday, after all) but I know from experience that the crazy hasn't even been tapped. Nor has the evil, jackiekjono's noble efforts notwithstanding. She isn't evil, she's just drawn that way.

Watch and Bid here: http://www.vividcon.com/auction.cgi


Things that have made me happy today:

1. Going in late to work (I have late duty tonight) and sitting in a tank top at my computer in front of a white-sheer-curtained covered open window, vidding this AM. It was just a viseral pleasure and the breeze was warm and nice and the music was warm and nice and Starbuck's face was warm and nice and I laid a good thirty seconds of clips and it felt...warm and nice.

2. sga_flashfic has been making me happy for a while, but this latest challenge has been making me happy in new and exciting ways. The stories are to be written in or under 38 minutes and I am just astounded at what is being cranked out. It would take me years to do what they can do in a few minutes. I love writers. I do.

But today astolat made me even happier because she wrote Limestone. Three guesses what happens in this story and your first two don't count.

3. elke_tanzer's request for links to pro-novels, movies and fan-fic that follow a particular formula promises to be an intriguing read. I am certain I have read at least 10 different stories in both the romance genre and in fanfic that have followed this formula to the letter and yet my brain is such a sieve I can't remember any other details other than this feels so very familiar.

4. Daddy!Adama makes me happy. So very very happy. I can't even tell you how happy he makes me.

5. The reaction to spoilers for the QaF finale are entertaining and I was very happy this morning trying to glean what was going to happen merely by the reaction of the fen. My take was that Justin, after a particularly nasty fight with Brian, flees to Venice where he then dies in a freak Gondola Accident and Brian is then comforted by Ted and they get married and adopt a Golden Retriever whom they name Justin.

If this is not what happens, don't tell me. It amuses me terribly and I now shall go to an imaginary place called "Brian Takes Justin to Obedience Class Where Justin Bites the Instructor." It's wacky! It's fun! There is a dog, so jackiekjono will watch it!


I will add to this list as my joy-in-the-day develops.

You made my morning.

I acknowledge that making Wolfling do that Magento vid would have been evil.

Eyeballs! Yum!

Jackie *is* actually evil, as I am here to testify. She's just drawn as innocent and harmless and puppy-loving.

[lapillus]

Exactly :)

I was trying to divert the attention. Cause I think on Sunday, Jackie is gonna spring up from the tub with a butcher knife and that is always better when no one sees it coming.

re: #5

snerrrrrrrk. i would pay for that ending.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Your #1 happy, just gave me a happy. Even if I'm on that downswing where I couldn't actually *do* it. It still sounds really wonderful.

#5: Just, LOL. I am spoiler-free as well and don't even read spoiler reactions, but -- Ted/Brian!!! Gotta love it.

*crickets chirp*

One of my friends is going to be very unhappy with me come Sunday. I feel sad about this. But not sad enough to put aside my evil plan.

I did not even have to guess what Limestone is about. Hee.

Deadwood needs cave-in fic. *nods* There's hills, right? Caves, man. Caves.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

You just know Sol's old man had some kinda cave-in wisdom he passed on at his deathbed.

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

In Vienna. *nods more* Although I'm actually unclear on whether Sol's father died in Vienna or... whether he and Seth having been having everyone on about the whole Vienna thing. It's a mystery. Clearly we all need more Sol!backstory to clear up these issues.

And I need to get on with iconing. Hmm.
