swim through the fires to stay in this world

For the first time in months, I had a Saturday off.

A glorious, glorious evening to do nothing but relax and chat with my flist. Seriously, if you're in the mood to talk fandom, ask questions about shipping, share cute/sexy/funny/eye candy gifs, this is the post for you. (And I'm also going to be hanging close to the computer tomorrow as well, so if you're out having an amazingly fun Saturday night, come chat on Sunday. I'll still be in the mood to gab.)

Things that are going on in my life, to get the conversational ball rolling:

~I went and did this amazing self-defense seminar today. It was amazing and I am going to have some glorious bruises tomorrow. (Frankly, you can already see them.)

~I rewatched Tangled with my mom (she hadn't seen it yet). It was just as adorable as it was the first time and I think Flynn and Rapunzel make a fabulous couple.

~I may go get ice cream. In fact, I think I shall.

~I have been looking at upfront trailers for the upcoming fall season and frankly, I have only seen two that even look worth checking out:



This look funny but also distressingly close to what my life could be this fall.



No idea what this is about but I'm actually intrigued.

All the rest, frankly, look various flavors of boring.

~But that's okay, because in the next two months BURN NOTICE, HAVEN, AND TRUE BLOOD ARE RETURNING. Sing hallelujah.

~In fact, I'm so excited about the new season of TB, that I'm rereading Dead Until Dark. Which, frankly, I have a suspicion I can no longer recommend as a qualitatively good vampire story, even though I retain a lot of affection for it. Your thoughts, flist?

The Mother: has influenza. a.k.a she can look forward to another 5-10 days of fever and misery (and having her daughter wait on her hand and foot).

Here are the gorgeous concept art sketches for Tangled. I have to admit, I really wish that they had made that movie in 2D; the reason that I don't have a Tangled icon is that I find the round cheeked glossiness of the film cute enough while I'm watching it but not pretty enough to make the cut as one of my icons.

Homygod, you guys, homygod.

So, I just got back from Tangled and I am DEAD OF ADORABLENESS.

HOMG.

The trailers made me think it would be okay, my flist made me think it would be good, and my actual viewing experience? I was vibrating with glee.

(HOW DID I NOT KNOW THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS CHUCK WAS THE VOICE OF THE HERO? HOW?)

Okay, flist, time to linkspam: give me your reaction posts, your fics, your icons!
