This will not come as a surprise to anybody who knows me at all, but I am very much an East Coast girl, so recent Family Upheavals that have forced my hand and credit card toward West Coast destinations have been somewhat unsettling, to say the least. Still, I spent the first two weeks of January divvying my time between the Bay area and LA and it's been real.

Pictures for the curious. )

Of course.

[personal profile] leupagus: so
[personal profile] leupagus: terrifyingly
[personal profile] rageprufrock: that was a great U turn, right?
[personal profile] leupagus: predictable
[personal profile] rageprufrock: my brain was like SCREEEECH YES.

For anybody craving one of my classically GIANT episode reviews for Scandal in Belgravia just chokka with spoilers, hurry on over to the [community profile] slashreport comm. Spoiler for the review: I don't actually like the episode that much.

Dear Body --

Let's talk. I know that in our long years together, I have not been particularly good to you. Between the constant barrage of guilt and judgment, the vast oceans of alcohol consumed between the ages of 17 and 25, and the occasional cigarettes (+ half pack from last week) and you know some other stuff whatever I have not been the greatest of caretakers.

But let's get this straight: if I get sick now, if I get sick less than 18 hours before I get onto a plane to go to San Francisco and cry and sleep and finally exhale for the first time in forever, you and me, we're through. I'm moving to the astral plane and sleeping on Snape's couch.

Am I being clear?

Good. Now, let me go moisturize something.

Kisses, Pru.

Thanks so much to everybody for your kind birthday wishes, and thanks especially to [personal profile] patrese1 for generously gifting me a year of DW time!

So far, 27 looks pretty much like 26, except odd-numbered. Maybe this smarter with age thing happens in increments -- so tiny I won't even notice until I find myself turning down that fifth shot, even though it's free. But you know, unlikely.

The real question is: next time this year, what country am I even going to be in?
beach
[personal profile] rageprufrock: i just realized
[personal profile] rageprufrock: what i realy want
[personal profile] rageprufrock: is a house in the forest
[personal profile] rageprufrock: backing up to a lake
[personal profile] rageprufrock: with a dock
[personal profile] mklutz: oh yeah
[personal profile] mklutz: so you need to marry me, really
[personal profile] rageprufrock: yeah
[personal profile] rageprufrock: but i like sex too much
[personal profile] mklutz: yeah
[personal profile] mklutz: reasonable
[personal profile] rageprufrock: plus you wouldn't want kids
[personal profile] rageprufrock: which would be a downer
[personal profile] rageprufrock: and i would probably cry a lot
[personal profile] mklutz: kids are a lot of work, man
[personal profile] mklutz: I'd have to start abusing you
[personal profile] mklutz: if we got kids
[personal profile] rageprufrock: ahahahhahaha
[personal profile] rageprufrock: HOW IS THAT
[personal profile] mklutz: because it would be you or the kids
[personal profile] rageprufrock: THE NATURAL PROGRESSION
[personal profile] mklutz: someone's gonna get smacked for all that nuisance
[personal profile] mklutz: and child abuse is just wrong
[personal profile] rageprufrock: but hitting me is okay?
[personal profile] mklutz: well yeah
[personal profile] mklutz: you're the one who wanted kids
[personal profile] mklutz: plus you like it rough
[personal profile] mklutz: so it's not that big a leap
[personal profile] rageprufrock: oh my god.
[personal profile] mklutz: worst. spouse. ever.
[personal profile] rageprufrock: yes.
[personal profile] rageprufrock: YES YOU WOULD BE

Heads up, folks, for those of you who were reading along with us on the kink meme, I've added in the Raven snapshot that I posted that lived outside of the main bar of the story, and also posted my ULTRA indulgent extra double epilogue, which I recommend nobody read because it EXTRA DOUBLE ULTIMATE indulgent to Limited Release here.
beach
[personal profile] mklutz: also apparently Zac Efron was in an ep of NCIS
[personal profile] mklutz: so I looked it up
[personal profile] mklutz: and I am 99% sure he plays the victim of a pedo
[personal profile] rageprufrock: no no
[personal profile] rageprufrock: i've seen it
[personal profile] rageprufrock: not pedo
[personal profile] rageprufrock: or even murdered
[personal profile] mklutz: episode summary
[personal profile] mklutz: An abducted officer leads to the possible theft of nuclear material and a suspected pedophile.
[personal profile] rageprufrock: yep
[personal profile] rageprufrock: but not zac efron
[personal profile] mklutz: no?
[personal profile] rageprufrock: nope
[personal profile] rageprufrock: shocking, right
[personal profile] mklutz: he's total jail bait!
[personal profile] rageprufrock: i love how you're UPSET
[personal profile] rageprufrock: that he wasn't pedoed
[personal profile] rageprufrock: in this episode.
beach
So one of these is fresh off the presses, the other one is pretty overdue to be posted on AO3.

First up, for X-Men: First Class:

Title: Limited Release
Rating: R/NC-17, for Sebastian Shaw and some sex that was sighed at by my tireless beta, [personal profile] merelyn, for being mostly feelings.
Summary: When Alex Summers broke out of supermax to rescue his stupid kid brother, he had no idea it was going to be so fucking complicated.

And next, for Inception:

Title: Early Returns
Rating: R, for newsrooms
Summary: Thinking that a reporter genuinely likes you is pretty much on par with feeling like you really are special to that stripper.

Happy reading! Or, I guess, happy reading no longer in agonizing kink meme format!

As always, check out Twitter for our recs and to find out about our opening and closing music, and feel free to pepper us with all of your thoughts and feelings and keyboard smashing either @slashreport on said Twitter, or by shooting us an email at slashreport@gmail.com.

Title: Provenance
Rating: PG-13, for language, Tracey Emin
Summary: (Inception) Eleven years ago, Dom was new to Interpol and effusive with enthusiasm, and in the thrall of his own cleverness he'd met Mal during one of Arthur's ruthlessly thorough crash-course weekends.

For Help_Japan, and specifically, for Writteninhaste. Happy reading!

(To clarify, that's poop.)

So some stuff happened with Delicious today. Stuff that was not cool. Stuff that was, indeed, not cool enough that [personal profile] mklutz and I felt the need to do an emergency podcast on this bullshit. No fancy art or music this week, and all of our laughter is just a little bit manic and drunk, or manic and ill, but we go over what's actually happened with our beloved bookmarking service as well as some alternatives if you've reached the end of your rope.

Heads up, /reporters! We're back for another fun-filled week of fandom and fipperies. This time, we're joined again by [personal profile] leupagus to talk about Hawaii 5-0's season premier, and if it made everybody hate that show less, new episodes of NCIS original flavor and Castle. I also get stuck looking at my life, looking at my choices and explaining the kink concept of knotting, offer up some answers to listener questions, and cue another installment in Fandom Safari!

We're back! I'm sure you were inconsolable last week but we're making up for it by having an extra long collection of asinine fannish comments and swearing! It's /report's fall preview, where we discuss Suits and Necessary Roughness's rookie years, shows we can't wait for (Fringe! The Good Wife!) and shows we're...less enthusiastic about (Hawaii 5-0!) and try to make "Fassbendered" happen.
