Bowling and recs
Dec. 26th, 2011 05:19 pmBiennial(ish) bowling with high school friends today! I got somewhere in the 80s for the first game, and then a 130 for the second, which might be a record for me. (Not hard, considering that except for the times we went for gym in high school--yeah, I went to nerd school, we did stuff like that for PE--I think I've been bowling maybe five or six times in my life.) Apparently there's going to be a high school reunion this summer, which I had not heard about because I hate Facebook and never log in to it. I am...fairly disturbed that it's been ten years since we graduated.
In other news, Yuletide happened! I don't usually do recs, but I recently rediscovered the "reading history" page on the AO3, so I'm doing them this year. Four stories I enjoyed reading:
My Master's Secret Mission - OMG SO FUNNY. My favorite Yuletide story of the year. I'll just give you the snippet of the summary that hooked me right off: "I am THE LUCKIEST GENIE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! My Master has given me a DIARY!"
eff em ell, and other quotes from the official biography - Post-canon fic for the Shakespeare Retold version of The Taming of the Shrew (which I loved so much), from Tim's POV. (The poor sod still works for Katharine and has to deal with her and her family.) Everyone's true to form, and it's hilarious.
Scenes from a Cultural Exchange, or The Muppets Take New Burbage - Exactly what it sounds like. Exactly as awesome as it sounds.
Leavening - Very much like a lost episode of Ballykissangel. Peter- and Assumpta-centric.
