Angel

So, where is all the Top Gun slash? Just curious really. I saw a fic today - the one and only fic I've ever seen and for a film with slo-mo volleyball and lots of locker-room towel wearing you'd think there'd be piles of it.  Or was it those horrid little v-shaped smiles that put everyone off?

Veering wildly, I've been watching Angel for the first time ever! How did I manage to avoid it for so long? It's really good. Angel's bad dancing is a thing of beauty that will stay in my mind for a long time.  As a character in Buffy he was rubbish and annoying, but in Angel he's a slightly lost, vulnerable guy and the way Cordelia and Wesley are protective of him is, well, quite frankly it makes me squee.

I've also been watching an anime called X, which is quite a lot of fun. Everyone has seriously pointy chins and there's a lot of leaping from rooftop to rooftop in a silly way. Nearly everyone has mystical powers of leaping and is Mysterious. But there's some nice hurt/comfort bits where the beefcakey boy puts his arm protectively round the skinny boy (Kamui, I think), even when he's just saying hello or attaching a plaster.  I like it.

Tuesday

There's more Saiyuki as British teenagers here.

It's a wet, cold Tuesday morning. I have breakfast tea and a lot of work to do. I'm working at home today and tomorrow, which is why I sensibly stayed up till 3am last night writing. Silly Louise. I'd better make some coffee, because the tea just isn't working. After that I'm going to write a long essay on what exactly it is I've been doing so far this year.

Tried to work, got terminally distracted. Things on my flist today that made me cackle and flap my arms:

bethbethbeth has a very interesting poll about fannish shared culture

xsmoonshine wrote me a really excellent Nii Jienyi drabble

ajhalluk on why Pope Benedict XVI is not a fan of JK Rowling

Also spotted a classic mistake somewhere: vinaigrette instead of vignette. Bless.
