write like you need it to survive

1. Via splash_the_cat and commodorified, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the NHL rock harder than I would normally be willing to admit.

2. In a similar vein, via nestra, Daniel Craig is not just hot, he also loves us and wants us to be happy.

3. Speaking of people who love us and want us to be happy, lilac_one has written, I think, the world's sixth ever Regenesis fic, and it is David Sandstrom/Charlie Eppes. Go. Read.

4. Chase. Robert Chase makes me happy. Yes he does. I would elaborate on this point if I'd had more than four hours of sleep, but, really, it's been two years, you have the idea now, right? Chase makes me happy, the end.

5. Dead Like Me. I've been trying to finish the second season since, uh, August (yes, I am that person sitting on one Netflix disc for three months and subsidizing everyone else's accounts: you're welcome) and just last night watched ep 2x13, "Last Call," in which the post-its turn purple and Mason goes skinnydipping with Lt. George Hammond (who has a fine ass, btw) and then they TOTALLY HAVE SEX. SHUT UP, YES THEY DO. And even when it makes me sad, this show makes me happy.

5. numb3rs_newyear! Hi! People! Numb3rs has a winter slashfic exchange! It corresponds more to the show's birthday than to any other actual holiday, which is EXCELLENT because it means fics, at a manageable minimum of 500 words, aren't due until JANUARY 21. That's after finals AND Yuletide AND the holidays! LOTS OF TIME TO WRITE, people!

But not much time to sign up: today is the sign-up deadline, and so far only two people have committed. Er, not including me, because I do not multitask that well. But I WILL, and you should too. All slash pairings welcome! 500 words! January 21! Numb3rs fic exchange! Go sign up right now!

I know you can pony up 500 words, so sign up! Now! THIS MEANS YOU!

6. Via Making Light: Possibly the geekiest thing ever.

I'm home from my whirlwind tour of the Midwest (and southern Ontario)! I collected a truly alarming amount of loot in Toronto (why is it that I cannot walk into an HMV without COMPLETELY LOSING MY SHIT? WHY?) and shiny vid DVDs from vividcon and, at long last, a colander! I saw Clerks II and the entire first season of Dead Like Me! I managed to avoid having my toothpaste, deodorant, lip balm, and eye drops confiscated! On several occasions, I ate three meals in one day! I wrote porn on a train and the morning after on a plane!

I had a fantastic time hanging out with giddygeek and merryish and just_eunice and cesperanza and astolat and cmshaw and justacat and sanj and I met vagabondage and renenet and sisabet and nightchik and amireal and greensilver and lovelokest and bkwyrm and lots of other people who I am totally forgetting! I watched many many AWESOME VIDS! I did not drink nearly enough beer or stay up nearly late enough! I ate a lot of cookies! I contributed to the pizza guy's daughter's college fund! I missed my home and my bed and my flist and everyone who wasn't at the con!

And now I have to take a shower and go to bed, because I am still faintly glittery from Club Vivid, and oh dear god I have to go to work tomorrow morning.

Also, I reread my printed-out copy of Ghost on the plane, and boy I sure do wish there was more of that story...
