random notes from under the covers

ugh, I have cold (not the flu, just a cold, thank goodness.) I'm self-medicating with tea and Austen adaptations (S&S for some lovely Rickman-Brandon and then Persuasion for a little RPJ-Wentworth drama. I may possibly shift over to the Brontes, but only for Tom Hardy's Heathcliff. This is all powrhug's fault, btw. She needed new Brit series and my brain went, ooooo, we haven't watched any of *that* in a while...) We got a wee dusting of snow overnight, but not even enough to freak out the Southerners. It's cold and windy, though, so I am helping the furnace along with some baking and pizza-making.

On twitter, withdiamonds linked to the Hogwarts Running Club, and I somehow ended up registered for the Molly Weasley Ugly Jumper 5K. I guess my brain decided that a goofy medal was a worthy reward for my last few months on the treadmill?

Due to one of those long, random sessions on the internet, where you start out looking for recipes and end up an hour later reading podcast reviews, I stumbled across Story and Star Wars, which has been vastly entertaining over the last few days of commuting. (Seriously, anyone who can spend a solid 10 minutes waxing rhapsodic over "I love you" / "I know" in intellectual, geeky glee is one of My People.)

Stay warm and safe, y'all!

Sad to see Rickman in anything, now. He did look very well in period costume, though. but after reading a ton of Inception fic lately, my head can't process Tom Hardy as anything except Eames.

Get well! Ginger tea is good for colds.

I love Alan as Col Brandon--he's sooooo restrained and he makes it so easy to overlook him right up until he steps in with all his competence and helps save the day. ::happy sigh::

Fandom really went to town with Eames, didn't they? I love how much fun everyone had fleshing out that character. TH is about the only way I can watch Heathcliff--he makes that character human and bearable (I still can't call it a romance, but at least it's a fascinating character study?)
