Ugh, I have totally failed at posting lately. Mostly because work has been a bit mad - our project due date was at the end of this week, so Boss and I have been trying all week to corral the engineers and make them do their share of the work. Dudeboss (aka the head of the firm) started doing his part yesterday. I am ready to strangle him, I swear. Everything else is mostly done, but because he put so much off to the last minute I have to go in tomorrow to try to finish as much as possible. Not exactly happy about losing my Saturday, even if it is more hours on my paycheck. Anyway, me complaining about the foibles of time-insensitive engineers is boring, but here's some vaguely fannish stuff that's been keeping me busy when I'm not doing that.
1. It probably says some sad things about me that while I liked Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock, it took listening to Cabin Pressure on Radio 4 to make me go "OMG THIS GUY." I just - MARTIN CRIEFF. CAPTAIN MARTIN CRIEFF. He's awkward and faily and pathetic, but still well-meaning and basically sweet! He has a van of parental disappointment! He has Cumberface's inexplicably charming lisp! What can I say, awkward dorky guys are basically my kryptonite. I also appreciate that the fandom is just about nothing but Martin-centric hurt/comfort, emphasis on the comfort. It's making me want to write a fic where the airdot (but mostly Martin) adopts a puppy.
2. I've been reading a lot of Final Fantasy VII fic this week. No, I really have no idea why. I think it came up in a video I was watching and that made me remember, oh, right, I used to be ridiculously into this even though I never play console games, let alone Japanese RPGs. I can't quite seem to find the fic I want - need more wacky Turk adventures - but, I don't know, I can see why I liked it so much back in high school. Under the silliness and the outdated graphics and the dreadful porn it's still a story that has hurty bits in all the right places for me. Oh Cloud.
3. Everything I have seen so far about the Captain America movie just makes me more excited about seeing it. I mean, Steve Rogers+classic pulp sci-fi war movie? I am so there.
4. When I'm being objective about it, I think Bojan Krkic going to Roma is probably a good thing for his career - he didn't get any playing time this season at all, and if Roma can make better use of him than we were and get him some decent experience, he should go for it. Mostly though, I'm just sadface that my favorite bit of jailbait is leaving us. Who will Pique grope now? Who will Thiago sit with on the sidelines? Who will I make inappropriate jokes about when he takes off his shirt in front of the coach? Man, club season really needs to start soon, transfer season is just killing me.
