W00t, I have tickets to go to a performance of Puccini's Madame Butterfly next week! *bounces*

( The Tudors semi-spoilers )

YAY FOR NEW DRAGON'S DEN EPISODES! Totally can't wait. But why has Richard Farleigh quit? I loved him on the show. :/

This weeks thefridayfive: ( How Long...? )

Current Mood: listless

I just watched Topmodel, the Flemish version of ANTM.

And dude, we SUCK at adapting existing formats for our own shows. They always forget to snag all the cool things about the original show and make it something repetitive, unexciting and ridiculous. Umph.

Current Mood: chipper

I'm finally going to watch an ep of Murphy's Law. About time. *licks James Nesbitt*

Current Mood: cheerful

It's reccing time! These fantastic fics have been accumulating in my memories over the last few days. About time for me to rec them already, methinks.

Pre-DH oldies that are worth checking out:

Water Trade (Draco/Luna, NC-17) by pennymintlick for last year's smutty_claus. Wow, I love the fact that it takes place in Japan (duh!) and pennymintlick's Luna is just perfect here.

Another one of those great smutty_claus fics: Living History (Snape/Tonks, NC-17) by iulia_linnea. This is such a clever little story. Definitely not a PWP.

Returning To London (Draco/Hermione, R) by applecede. Very interesting prompt and nicely written. Makes me want more!

Speak Easy (Harry/Hermione). parkergrey has always been a master of angsty H/Hr and this fic proves that for about the 20494th time.

Non-spoilery recs:

A Game of Cat and Mouse (Harry/Hermione, NC-17) by amethyst_j. Such raw feelings here and a wonderfully angsty and smutty read.

The Magic Number (Harry/Hermione, Mature) by scribooty. OMG GO READ THIS. IT'S H/HR FUNNY!SEX, HOW COULD YOU NOT?

A Birthday fic for Hermione (Harry/Hermione) by alissomora. *melts*

( Recs with DH spoilers (be warned!) )

On an entirely different note: I want to watch Tim Gunn's Guide to Style so bad (probably because I'm very shallow) and I can't! It'll take at least six months before it reaches our channels here. If not a year and a half. And ANTM too! And Journeyman! *goes crazy* Oh, well, I have BBC's What Not to Wear to comfort me, I guess.

Current Mood: bouncy
