RIP Pete Postlethwaite

I didn't even know he was ill

Memo

Dear Apple

So first of all your alarm clock can't cope with Daylight Savings Time and now you can't cope with the fact that it's 2011.



It's a good thing that I wake up naturally before my alarm goes off. Both yesterday and today the alarm on my iPhone didn't go off. It was still showing as set and activated. It just didn't go off

So I checked and found out it's a known glitch

I would be fired if it took me three days to fix something as major as this.

I am so tempted to slowly replace my Apple products with alternatives. Droid is as good as the iPhone these days and there's plenty of comparable MP3 players to replace my iPod.

Dean/Castiel
From The Brightest Constellation by _mournthewicked
Castiel closes his eyes and remembers that moment, the way his wings feel when they’re ready to fly, because he knows what will happen after this. Even though it will be worth it, he wants to remember.
I enjoyed this. It was sweet, schmoopy and intimate. With a bit of bonus whump.

In which there are traditions, and then there is Misha...
This is just so sweet and perfect

The Still Don't Know Which One's Major Tom by moonlettuce
In which there are alien abductions and a little bit of probing...
OH MY GOD! This is insane and hilarious and brilliant

Ho Ho Ho by moonlettuce
In which Misha's definitely on the naughty list...
So wrong yet also so very, very right.

Merlin/Arthur
Timshel by ems
Merlin is definitely supposed to work for Arthur, but spends most of his time mocking Arthur's dress sense, berating him via IM with Morgana, sending Gwen capslock-filled emails about him and, most of all, trying not to fall in love with the shiny-shoed ponce. Arthur, meanwhile, is definitely supposed to be taking over his father's company some day, but instead spends most of his time scowling at Merlin, making lists about him, trying to find excuses to fire him and, most of all, trying to pretend he is totally not head-over-heels for the jumped up little upstart. Someone's got to make some difficult choices eventually, and this can only lead to one thing: angst. Or hilarity. Or, embarrassingly enough, self-discovery.
I'm very picky about Merlin AU fics but this one just clicked with me. I love the relationship Arthur and Merlin have (both professionally and romantically), Morgana is awesome and the characterisation of Uther is perfect. Loved it

Happy 2011! My New Year's resolutions: 1)-Stop scaring small children & 2)-Chew off my own leg in a daring escape. What're your resolutions?

After we win this (which is like stealing candy from a baby), we should take it up a notch & win a Senate seat. http://tinyurl.com/29cupfq
