So day eleven is going up late because Yesterday was spent cooking ALLLLLL day for a LARP feast today and being ON TIME for once in my life with my cooking schedule. And then the main cooking/prep group of people told us that they were really, horribly behind. So my cooking buddy and I hopped into my car and drove 40 minutes to their base of operations, cooked with them for 4 semi-disastrous hours, drove home 40 minutes (arriving at 2am and well past DoH time), and then still had to finish OUR stuff that we were no longer on time for.

I went to bed at 4am. After eating a mocha cupcake. My brain is not operational at the moment as a result.

So Cliff's Notes version: Day Eleven is today :)

I don't generally take what opportunity I have to watch much TV (preferring, generally, to indulge in fandom as my relaxation outlet), as well as having only the most basic of cable, but here are a few of the shows that I do follow, as well as ones I'd like to start watching at some point in time and space.

Watching:
Doctor Who
Sherlock (BBC)
Game of Thrones (I have completed season 1 so far)

Want to watch:
Castle
Finish Stargate Atlantis
Downton Abbey

When browsing through the channels at places that have lots of them, I can also be well satisfied with home renovation and house-hunting programs, some cooking programs (wherein people are cooking for fun or in fun competition, not the type with scary people yelling at others and kicking them off the kitchen island and such), and stand-up comedy.

So that's me, what are yo all watching, wanting to watch, wanting to avoid like the plague?

A few of the movies that I am looking forward to...

( Movie posters or mockups )

I enjoy gifs, macros, photos... anything that will get me to crack a smile after a long day. Here are some of the gif or gifsets that I enjoy quite a lot.

( Gifs! )

Here, have some songs that I adore and have been listening to over and over again...

( Mooooosic )

Share some of your favs, if you so desire. I would love to hear them.

Today's happy is: mail!

Thank you to wesleysgirl, syredronning, and lauriegilbert for my lovely holiday cards!

Today was a rough day, so I was worried that I'd have trouble deciding on a good happy thing. I searched my mind and thought that this one was a pretty damn good one since it practically makes me tear up every time I hear it. I can honestly say that it helped restore my faith in humanity when I heard it the first time. Today's happy, therefore, is this story.

( It was a dark and stormy night... )
