amoamaLovely weekend activities:
!! I joined the library finally near my new place and it had exactly the issue of Sandman that I've got up to, Go Tiny Library Go! (By which I mean, stay forever, back off Tories on the local council, back well off).
!! I watched Rush, and I loved it. Sure, there were a couple of overdone pumping sex to pumping car iron transitions (I have no idea what part of the car that was, I fail at cars) but mostly it was beautifully filmed. You got a good overview of lots of things that went into F1 and making racing what it is that was a lot more interesting then actually watching F1 all afternoon while indistinguishable cars circle a track endlessly. It didn't exactly convert me, it didn't even make me more interested in the personalities involved, well, maybe a bit, but it was still a great movie.
I loved the central relationship between James Hunt and Niki Lauda, how their rivalry was perhaps overstated by the press and yet how they both came to measure themselves against each other. I loved how they didn't quite understand each other, how completely opposing their personalities were, how they didn't even try that hard to become friends and yet still ended up caring deeply for each other. I also loved how Lauda's character was given equal attention as Hunt's, he wasn't a caricature rival, he was fully realised with a far better handled romantic subplot then James and was basically the heart of the film. Ugh my heart was in my mouth at the end it was so well done!
!! Had a lovely roast dinner with my sisters, and contributed excellent yorkshire puddings!
!! Decided it was high time to move on the kink bingo card and tried to start small with the "tickling" prompt. So I wrote Les Mis, Jehan/Bahorel and there is a brief mention of tickling. So, yay?! A prompt is a prompt wherever it takes you right? I'm kind of liking it as an excuse to get to know Les Mis characters though. I also posted it to my tumblr because it felt like a transient kind of fic and also I'm ridiculously pretending to myself that I exist over there.
