the weekend so far, a short list:

[fahye]

- Devouring Princess Tutu in enormous chunks. THANK YOU, BECCA. Delicious meta-ballet storytelling, mine at last!

- Agonising delightfully over my Yuletide sign-up, of course.

- Churning out the set-during-the-movie scenes of my Natasha fic, which are excruciating because I hate covering someone else's dialogue and it's awkward if you steer around it altogether. But I've managed a few sentences that I genuinely like in amongst all the piffle, and I now have only three scenes to go and then the thing will be FINISHED. It's just over 27,000 words at the moment, god help us all.

- I read Richard II for the first time today and liked it enormously; it can join King John under the heading of 'why didn't anyone tell me that the histories can be awesome?' (A: all three parts of Henry the fucking Sixth) Now I can finally get onto watching this Hollow Crown business.

- I made tartlet things out of butternut snaps and caramel and chocolate and nothing else, they were dead easy and taste like enormous Mars Pods.

Speaking of anime, have you seen Puella Magi Madoka Magica? Because I think you'd really like it, and it's only 12 episodes long. (SERIOUSLY, IT'S GREAT)

I haven't, though I've heard of it! It's been ages since I watched any anime. I've got Utena to watch next, but both PMMM and Full Metal Alchemist are on my 'if it ever falls into my lap, sure!' list.

You can stream it online here or here if you like! Trust me, it's absolutely worth it :D

Though, a note: If you do decide to watch it, watch the sub, not the dub. The dub is decent-ish, but the show is 100x better with the original voice actors.


Have fun watching Utena! I've never seen it myself, but I've heard good things about it. :)
