Not Screwing Up

2011 ends in ten days, so naturally I’ve been thinking quite a bit about 2012.

I am determined not to fuck it up.

How about you all? Do you have resolutions??

An assortment of odds and ends

♥ You all know that I'm doing hand-made gifts for Christmas this year. Well, this has lead me to do all sorts of crafting I'd never done before, including things like decoupage and candlemaking. One of the most fun and interesting ones was for my dad - jam-making. I'd never attempted home-made jam before, but it was fun, relatively easy, and the jam is really good (blueberry, for those wondering). I may write a seperate entry about it later (I've been not-so-good about the blogging of my culinary aventures (sad-face)).

♥ I saw Game of Shadows on Saturday, and it was the gayest movie I'd seen all year, I swear to God. The entire scene in the train compartment ("Lie down with me, Watson," are you friggin' kidding me??) was, ohh, what's that quote? "Gayer than a treeful of monkey on nitrous oxide," yeah, that about covers it. I know there's an RPF fandom, and I have to back away slowly, because I am this close to tinhatting it like crazy.

♥ After holding out on us for-ev-er, Gatiss and Moffat decided to release a couple of utterly beautiful clips/preview of Sherlock Season 2. You HAVE to check them out. Benedict. A bedsheet. Skype. That's all I'm saying. I downloaded TunnelBear (and Tweeted for extra bandwith!) so I can livestream the show from BBC's iPlayer on January 1st.

♥ Started watching Merlin (five episodes in). I like it! Colin Morgan is super adorable, and it's a fun show, though (As much as I love Anthony Head) I find myself wanting to punch Uther in the throat several times per episode. I realize this is likely an over-reaction borne of me being a violent person (and also, me being frustrated, because I've been watching while crocheting a scarf for my father and I am feeling rushed and a wee bit stressed YES I LEFT IT TO THE LAST MINUTE, I WASN'T SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO FOR HIM).

♥ I kind of really want to do a rewatch of the early seasons of House, back when House was House - when Cuddy was badass, when the ducklings were Chase, Cameron, and Foreman (and I knew EXACTLY how I felt about each of them), and when House and Wilson had the most epic bromance on TV. I miss it, and I miss the fandom :(

♥ Need suggestions on what to bring a.) to Camelot for Christmas Eve and b.) to my folk's house for Christmas day. I feel like Camelot would be more a desert-y type dish and my folk's would call more for a side-dish (since Joce can handle dessert, and I don't hold a candle to her in that department).

♥ Noticed I got a lot of new followers over the last few days, many of whom I (uncharacteristically) followed even though I wasn't messaged (I like to know about my LJ friends, I had FAR too many "friends" on my old journal with whom I had nothing in common and never communicated with. I'm trying to not repeat that). Could those of you who added me in the last week please comment or send me a message telling me a little about yourselves and why you added me? Thanks!
