A few random notes from the last few days...

[hmpf]

- Dexter: I want to read an AU fic in which... hmm, how to write about this in a non-spoilery way? ... ah yes. I want to read a fic in which Dexter follows through on what he said in 2.11 to Doakes he was considering, and what Doakes was encouraging him to do. And I want Doakes to be there, and the two of them to (continue to) develop this strange almost-but-not-quite buddy relationship. Yes. I know. Deeply AU. But I so want to read that. (Did I mention I loved Dexter and Doakes to bits in season 2? *Almost* in a slashy way, even.)

- There are cat cafés in Japan. I need to move to Japan, clearly.

- Fennel is good. I didn't know that.

- A huge percentage of press articles about comics really do have titles like "Pow! Bang! Zap! Comics [grow up/go online/aren't just for kids anymore/get Japanese competition/aren't just for boys anymore/...]"

- Recent discussions about the DVD release of the latest Highlander movie on the one big HL list I'm still lurking on have demonstrated to me again that HL can be an extremely strange fandom. The fandom, including the list, was pretty unanimous in its hatred of the movie. Yet now everybody seems to be eager to buy the DVD. WTF, people? Stop buying crap that you recognise as crap, or the producers of said crap will *never* stop producing it!

I mean, I realise it's none of my business what other people do with their money. But, still. *shakes head*

- Since I mentioned cats above: Proof that the laws of nature only apply to cats in a very loose sense: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn9HgEPxO0M

- Actually tried restarting my social life, these past few days, meeting with a couple of friends and with my old jewellery making 'mentor'.

- My meeting with one of these friends showed me that I can only watch LoM series 2 in the company of extremely patient (and thoroughly spoiled) people, because I tend to rant at the screen now.

- I'm sick as a dog.

I'm kind of expecting something like that to happen with Dexter and Doakes, honestly. Not slashy, but. XD

Oh! Have you tried fennel grilled? Fennel grilled is fantastic. :9

Fennel

I baked it with a cheese, garlic and herbs sauce.

What do you do with it when you grill it? I mean, do you just grill it, or do you, I dunno, marinate, season etc. it before you grill it?

Cat cafes?

Hope you feel better soon. (I am avoiding watching LoM S2 because I'm afraid I will rant and no-one will be around to hear me and/or my mum won't get it...)

Yup, cat cafes.

Cafes that have lots of 'resident cats' that you can pet for a fee. Since I'm too allergic to have a cat of my own, this would be a perfect solution for me to have at least some feline goodness in my life... *g*

Re LoM S2: You said something intriguing, way back when, about 'getting something from the ending you weren't supposed to get' or something... but you never elaborated on that! I'm still curious, though. (You could watch it and then come here and rant, you know... ;-))

That sounds like a really cool idea to me. Wanna move to Japan with me? (I wish I could say that seriously, but I can't afford it at the moment, but I'd love to go there...Ah well. One day!)

Yes! I keep meaning to write that, about being unhappy with end of LoM, but I've still not gotten around to it. I didn't think anyone else remembered about that but me! I might give it a whack over Christmas...Need to find my vid with the eps on now...
