So, I finally managed to get my hands of Tammy's new book, "Battle Magic". I'm nervous and excited at the same time...I'm just so ready for an endless stream of feels.

Chapter 3 right now. Anticipation for shit to get real is killing me.

The thread in which Alan got to rewatch Eu Nao Quero Voltar Sozinho



This is probably one of the most beautiful shorts I have ever seen. I saw it last year and I was reminded of it when a gif showed up on my dash and had to rewatch it immediately. It tells the story of a young blind boy, Leonardo, and how his life changes when he gets to meet the new boy in his school, Gabriel.

It touches two important subjects (that I believe will be greatly appreciated by this community): sexual identity and disabilities. And it's done in a beautiful and sweet way.

I honestly recommend it. It's 20 minutes. It's in Portuguese but it is subtitled - and the subtitles match it perfectly.

Really, I cry every time I see it, and it's tears of joy.

megotelek is sick and annoyed about it

But on the other hand, I'm eating cranberry-orange scones, drinking lemon ginger tea, and watching game shows on TV, so at least I feel super classy about it.

Also, orange buttons! So Halloweeny!

In honor of this week's festivities, I give you A Nightmare, Revisited



The Soundtrack of a Nightmare Before Christmas, performed by different artists. My favorites are This is Halloween, Kidnap the Sandy Claws and Oogie Boogie's Song. Includes the presence of Amy Lee, Marylin Manson, The Vitamin String Quartet, Plain White T's and others.

Spoilers for those who haven't seen the movie, but hopefully after the liveblog (that I missed) more people here have watched it.

Lawrence finishes watching The X-Files

I feel like this is an accomplishment. 201 episodes, two movies, and I've even started reading the season 10 comics and can now keep up with those in real time.

I started this on January 3 this year, which means I've watched a little under a season a month.

And what an experience it was. I get it now.

Lots and lots of spoilers and thoughts and feels in the replies. (I'll rot13 any stuff about the comics since I don't know that everyone has read those.)

OMG

My mom bought a sparkly pink tutu and fairy wings at the dollar store. As a Halloween costume. For our cat.

This will either be adorable, or end in total and complete bloodshed

Amon asks for help with a costume

Hello Spoils! I have a costume party coming up in a week and I'm asking for your help. I'd like to go as Nahadoth from The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. Here's an image I'm basing the design off of. (The other picture I found is shirtless and, uh, nope.)

So any tips or ideas regarding dress, makeup, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I think his tendrils may be the toughest part to get right.

Ugh. I'm having a discussion on FaceBook with a friend of a friend who doesn't understand that women *can* actually often tell when a guy is a creeper. It's not ESP, dude. We just have to learn to be good at reading cues and trusting our gut. And because you are a straight cis dude, you're gonna have to take my word for it that this is a real survival skill that women learn to protect themselves. The oppressed always have to know more about their oppressors that their oppressors ever have to learn about them. Also, shut up. I am tired of your skeptical tone. *sigh*

[sometimes I come here to say the things that I would never actually say to the people they are directed at]

Uh, hey guys!

I know it's been . . . months since I've been around (residency, boooo) and I'm sure nobody remembers me, but I thought I'd pop in for some of the midwest/minnesota people.

There's this amazing giant puppet halloween show going on tonight as well as Thursday, Friday, and Saturday next week in the twin cities that I'm playing accordion for, and I thought it'd be the kind of thing you guys would like! The first show was last night and I can honestly say I've never seen anything like it. There's a giant vulture-infested clock, massive puppets that take 2-3 people to move, and some pretty awesome original live music!

And I'm about to start a much lighter workload for a few weeks, so hopefully I can creep around here some more again!

I have a signed ARC of Chimes at Midnight, the latest October Daye book. Who wants it? If you tell me by Tuesday, I can have Seanan add your name.

Elie said he was going to do seven chapters of Feast for Crows last week, but clearly he is a liar and should not be trusted

He is easily distracted by videogames about lawyers. And Alchemists. And poor time management.

But he's going to do some more reading

HOLY SHIT MARK'S YOUTUBE VIDEOS ARE ALREADY GOING UP!!!!!

I AM SO EXCITE

(seriously, I've been grubbing around in therapeutic guidelines all day, and I feel like I've made zero progress on my consult note [which actually isn't true, there's just so much left to do that it's soul-crushing] so I really needed something to cheer me up)

ETA: Also, just went up to 102p! Yayyy!
