Last night, I went into iTunes with the intention of resubscribing to my OTR horror podcasts, since I had lost those in the hard drive debacle. And then I intended only to download the episodes I had missed.

That did not happen.

So now, I have something like 30 episodes of various OTR horror shows on the ipod I am borrowing from my mom (since I can't add new stuff to my mp3 player and have not replaced it yet). And this weekend led to something of a monster-love revival, so I am watching old horror movies and plotting random Universal monster fanfic and reading my ridiculous Dark Horse monster fanfic tie in novels, so at least 10 of those episodes are from The Creaking Door. Because The Creaking Door has that guy who sounds amazingly like Colin Clive and is often scripted to have hysterical breakdowns. I am totally a sucker for that kind of thing.

I should watch Mad Love tonight. Peter Lorre and Colin Clive - what could be better than that?

So, hey, I've got an auction listed on fandom_helps, if you're interested. It is here. I'm offering one of my crocheted dolls, so if ever you've wanted a little crocheted monster doll* of your own, one will be available!

Bidding starts February 14th and supports Planned Parenthood, for those who want to participate.




*It doesn't have to be a monster, of course. The winner can design whatever sort of cuddly thing he or she desires. All of the example pictures are monsters, though, because it's me.

It has been pleasingly sunny and somewhat warm here the last few days.

Y'know that thing that you* do, where when people really like something that you don't care that much about one way or another and those people just keep talking about it incessantly, and they're so cheerful and in your face about it and, because you** are a contrary misanthrope who is tired of hearing about it, you start to hate the thing that everybody else likes for no real reason?*** Yeah.

Thus far, I have resisting telling people that it's supposed to rain tomorrow and for the rest of the week. So far.




*For "you", read "I".

**See above.

***This phenomenon is also slowly causing me to irrationally kinda hate Sherlock. I liked it well enough when I was first watching it! It is an entertaining show! But I don't care nearly as much as a lot of other people in the places I frequent on the internet. And of course, they are completely entitled to their squee and I would not want to harsh that. But it's starting to bug me. (As is the fact that, when I go to the AO3 and specifically click on Sherlock Holmes in the Books & Other Literature section, I get...piles and piles of Sherlock fic. That doesn't just bug me, it outright fills me with grar. But that is a different problem entirely.)
