Saturday Things (coffee swings and colour kings)
Happy Saturday Flist!
Yesterday's conference presentation went well and my paper garnered compliments and expressions of interest. Also, so did my glasses. IDEK, but it was nice. Better than all that was that my supervisor called my presentations slides "impressive" which made me preen like a freshly groomed labra-doodle.
To celebrate this, I'm going to spend the weekend doing other things (read: non-uni-related things). I have lots of stuff on my Epic To Do List that needs crossing off. But I also want to write some fic and mess about in fireworks today and pretend I know what to do with graphics (ahahaha, but um, I have fun?). I have Amaretto coffee (wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!) and plan on staying in bed until such time as Merlin starts and I have to drag ass to the lounge where the TV lives.
Speaking of Merlin, did you know that Colin and Bradley write songs together. Where is my band AU, that's all I want to know.
***
Have a couple of recs. Because I'm awesome like that.
Fics:
Speech, Star Trek: Reboot, gen. Uhura and language, breath-takingly gorgeous.
Drowning Man (+ sequels), Sherlock, John/Sherlock. Eeeeeveryone's probably read it already, but in case you haven't you should get on that. Commended for keeping my attention even after it moved into established relationship (notoriously difficult to do with me), characterisation is A+ all around.
An Act of Charity, Sherlock, John/Sherlock. Another one that has been recced all over but justifiably, Sherlock has two lists. Dark and sharp is how I tend to like my Sherlock and this delivers.
Sauntering Vaguely Downwards, CWRPS, J2. Boys are geeks who end up and roomies at Dragon*Con. Pure mind candy, schmoopy as hell but very entertaining. Also: Jensen cos-playing Crowley from Good Omens. Why yes, just imagining it makes me happy in my pants.
Vids:
A Study in Time, Doctor Who/Sherlock, trailer. I need this show in my life desperately. BBC should get on that pronto.
A mock season six promo, Supernatural. Completely amazing fan-made season six promo, literally made me clutch my heart.
Unnatural Selection, Multi. Post-apocalyptic. Chilling.
***
Oh, and My Chem discover colour! I approve and cannot decide whether I want to molest them or pinch their cheeks for being so adorkable. MAYBE BOTH.
In conclusion: MOAR COFFEE!

Thanks for the recs, as well. Oh god I love the Uhura fic. Going to sit down and read the CWRPS now, because that summary sounds amazing.

THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS AS WELL. They've turned themselves into comic book characters, Kat! I can't even handle it.

Oh the Uhura fic was just beautiful, really love the use of language in it, both in writing and as a theme.
The J2 is very entertaining, though schmoopy.
And of course they are comic book characters. Bet the stage show is going to be amazing and brightly coloured!

But your weekend plans sound awesome. I thoroughly approve of all of it (even though it's late Saturday for you now, I can still approve, right?). Enjoy the lazing.

Your approval is welcome any time. It is now Sunday evening here and I've spent the day cleaning the flat and myself, followed by saving lots of random pics with the vague idea of making graphics at some undefined point in the future. Productive y/y?
