luzula: a Luzula pilosa, or hairy wood-rush (Default)
So, it was my birthday yesterday: I am now 33. Thanks to the people who wished me a happy birthday, and especially to [personal profile] andeincascade, who made me a podfic of my story about Maggie and her mother. I know I wrote the fic myself, but hearing Ande read it actually put tears in my eyes. ♥

I'm going to a math conference over the weekend, and getting to meet some old friends there, which is good. I'm writing this on the train, which sadly has no internet, and I just watched "Paris or Somewhere" (yes, I know you're all surprised that I actually got around to watching something on my own). Hi, baby!Callum with longer hair! He's so young, and his character is so young, too. I don't think he's as hot as somewhat older Callum, although his little whistles are very charming. CKR reached his peak of hotness somewhere around the Ray Kowalski-era, IMO. Molly Parker, though--wow, it's like she doesn't age or something.

Hmm, I know there's a Paris or Somewhere/Getting Married in Buffalo Jump crossover with Christy Mahon/Alex Breshnyachuk, possibly written by [personal profile] aukestrel and someone else? Will look it up, because that pairing makes a lot of sense to me (although to be fair, I did actually like the het pairing in GMiBJ).

In other news, I am in a "podfic all the things!" mood, so expect podfic soon. : )

ETA: And now I am posting this after the conference dinner. Amusing thing: they put deepfried reindeer lichen (Cladina stellaria) as a garnish on the entrée. Hee, I have never seen that before--I think they did it to emphasize that this was Food from Above the Arctic Circle. But my amusement was sadly drowned out by getting into an argument with a complete fucking idiot about healthcare and women's reproductive rights. Arrrrrrrgh. *stabbity*
