What the Frell Wednesday

feoplepeelLast Sunday Liz, Jeff, Lotte, and myself played Honey Heist (I was a washed up grizzly bear with a flat cap named Walter Matthau). I accidentally killed Jerry Seinfeld. It was glorious.
Jeff and I are in the very stressful process of house hunting for the second time (hopefully last time unless we, like, move out of the state or country). Our house is worth 10k more than we thought it was but it's pretty much all going back into the house, so.
Saturday I did a movie night with a group of friends and we rouletted to watch The Mummy Returns. Where The Mummy was better than I remembered, The Mummy Returns was worse. I'm curious about how many people my age have fond memories and haven't gone back to actually watch it because (while fun!) it's...not good! I don't think I really need to elaborate. I mean, people will either watch it or not? It's a matter of taste I think!
I started Chernobyl, which I saw someone most accurately describe as "the horror of statism". YIKES. It is deeply, and appropriately, horrific and well worth a watch if you can stomach that sort of show.
On Farscape, we finally got to The Way Things Weren't. I cried like a baby (particularly during the scene where Aeryn and Pilot reconnected UGH). But I've been doing that a lot since dad passed away--I even cried during some of the worst episodes of Buffy season 6, which Jeff's been slowly having me watch. Granted Willow and Buffy talking through Buffy's depression does inspire some tears after The Mess That Was The Magicians.
And speaking of the The Magicians! I posted a Fen/Margo fic I'm pretty happy with and now I kind of want to write an Eliot and Alice friendship fic in the same verse (namely: 'Quentin wants to garden but he's patently bad at it, so Eliot helps but he's mostly a farm guy, so Alice helps, leaving Eliot and Alice gardening together'). I'm putting it on the back burner for now because I really need to focus on my Just Married Exchange Fic, my Black Sails stuff and life.
Time to work on one of those right now! I'll figure out which when I've closed this tab.
