things that make it all worthwhile

[norwich36]

I had a pretty terrible week at work, capped by a perfectly awful day today (lots and lots of people complaining to me about things I couldn't fix, and lots of stupid glitchy technical problems, one of which needed to be redone seven times--in about a 25 step process each time!--before I finally fixed it), but my day is ending 1000 times better because of three wonderful things:

1. Dinner and a movie with the always delightful rsadelle; we had yummy vegan food and then went to see Julie and Julia, which was completely made of win; I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a really long time, and my comment as it ended was that I could watch the entire thing over again immediately, I loved it so much.

2. Psych, which is always wonderful but today did a fabulous homage to the Exorcist that I really enjoyed

3. A wonderful plot development in the latest section posted of poisontaster's marvellous A Kept Boy universe, one I've been looking forward to a long time.

Oh, fandom, you make my life bearable. After tonight I'm not even feeling too bad about having to work this weekend.

sorry it was such a bad week for you. hope next week is sunshine and puppies!

i've bookmarked that wip. it's not my fandom, but it sounds intriguing. lately i can't find anything worth reading! (i'm in-between fandoms, actually. it's a lonely place. *g*)

Well, it's an RPS slave AU, so it's pretty much like original fiction cast with familiar faces. And I have to say, as a connoisseur of slave fic, it's pretty amazing; the worldbuilding is terrific and she really does a great job dealing with the political and personal consequences of a society where slavery is legal, but of course I'm primarily into it for the Jeff/Jensen relationship.

It's pretty epically long right now--65 parts or something like that? with I think at least 10 more before it is done--but it's definitely worth it.
