Halloo, I hope everyone had some happy new year times. I had a pretty damn fun new year's eve at my unofficial-father-in-law's you-can-sleep-after-breakfast partay. Even though I had a wicked cold that I'm still getting over. Some random things:

-Naturally I was pretty excited that there were a couple DMS fics for Yuletide. I'm supposed to be pimping that fandom for the current round at smallfandomfest and kept putting it off, and now I'm kind of glad I did so it looks like there's slightly more of a fandom to pimp.

-I'm really into Howlin' Wolf lately. I've always liked blues music but for me his stuff goes beyond its usual "fun" category and into "This song is so perfect I am going to cry." (By the way I don't think I can ever hear "Smokestack Lightnin" without thinking of that scene in Misfits when Nathan struts on the roof in his underwear - and I'm going to laugh if I'm just making it up in my mind that that song plays there.) And yeah, I totally worked in "Spoonful" in that Stand fic I just posted because I can, though I had to do some googling to look into whether the song really works well at all on solo guitar because a lifetime of my dad's rocking has taught me nothing :/

-I will totally be watching The Americans when it premieres. YES.

-Aidan Turner looks much hotter with more hair, I want to know if we all agree on this. I'd seen a lot of gifs/pictures of him before The Hobbit but totally didn't recognize it was him. Also apparently he is from Dublin, be still my heart, etc.

Aidan Turner with more hair, yes please xD I had seen him before, but I didn’t realize it was him either until someone told me. And OK, I am terrible at recognizing faces (to the point I think I have a problem xD), but still, he looks so different and way sexier with long hair.

Yes! The Americans sounds v. intriguing. I’ll check out for sure.

Between The Stand and DMS, it seems that 2012 has been the year of small fandoms for you, haha. (btw, I’ve already listened to your Cassie fanmix and it is absolutely fab! Your mixes are always so well constructed. #Looove).

And this is a bit late, but happy New Year, btw. Wishing you a wonderful 2013!

I feel like Aidan Turner is in a show I've been meaning to watch - was it Being Human? Anyway I'm curious about him now.

Yeah, I was thinking back on all the fandomy stuff I did this year and it was pretty much all small fandoms - except for the one thing I posted for BSG, but sadly that is looking like a smaller fandom these days.

And thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the mix! Happy new year to you as well :D

No, the song in that scene was definitely "Smokestack Lightnin." Because Nathan just has to ruin the best Howlin' Wolf song.

It is seriously unexplainable how Aidan Turner can look so different and so much more attractive as a dwarf. In fact I think Kili, Fili, and Thorin are all more attractive than the actors who play them look irl. Just wrong. What's wrong with me.

Well, Nathan is a better association than that Viagra commercial, lol.

No, they really are all better-looking as dwarves. Dean O'Gorman is pretty adorable though:

Why did you have to make me remember the Viagra commercial NOOOOOOOOO

Happy New Year to you too! Glad you had fun! We basically spent the night eating and hanging around. Talk about *lots* of food. :P

Just wanted to comment on Aidan Turner, and say that yes, he definitely looks hotter with more hair. When he appeared in the Hobbit, I was like, hey, that's Mitchell! :P (and my cousin, with whom I used to watch Being Human, was like, 'nooo! oh wait, yes it is!' :P)

Lots of food is doing it right :D We still have stuff to finish off from the holidays, it's insane.

Hehe, more agreement on Aidan :) Clearly I should watch Being Human because I'm sure he's still enjoyable to watch without the dwarviness.

[jolinar-rosha.livejournal.com]

He's very enjoyable indeed. :) And it's a really good series too. I found the idea of a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost being roommates and trying to live normally extremely interesting.
