I've been mostly absent lately, and don't foresee a grand return to LJ any time soon (so much lawyering to do...) but I just had to pop in to wish race_the_ace the happiest of happy happy birthdays!!

You are one of my favorite people on the planet and my favorite thing about LJ is that it introduced me to you. I hope the year to come is filled with Sam Winchesters and Joe Flanigans and all sorts of wonderful and marvelous things. Thank you for being you!

I started work last week and am already ridiculously busy (it's going well, really!).  I just had to gif and post a scene from tonight's How I Met Your Mother though...

Leverage!!!! This season (so far) mostly sucked IMO, but last week's ep and this week's ep (the mid-season finale) were awesome :D

This is totally random, but I was surfing youtube today and came across these fantastic clips of Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett singing together from many decades ago.  I had no idea Julie could be so funny, and I really only know Carol Burnett from Annie (and her appearance as the Nazi hunter on Glee).  I was also inspired to make a new icon :)

Some of you may have noticed that I kind of disappeared off the face of the Earth about a month ago.  For those who don't know, I was studying for the New York Bar Exam, which I took a week and a half ago.  It's a two day test and the first day was on my birthday. 

(Thanks to everyone who offered their happy birthday wishes!  I'm sorry I didn't reply individually, but I was pretty much 100% psycho for about a week before and a week after the day.) 

Anyway, for anyone who wants to know, I think I passed but don't want to make any firm predictions seeing as half the people who take it fail.  I'll find out in November.

Now for the fun news!  I'm not starting work until October, so I'm taking the two months until then and renting a flat in Florence.  I arrived today and it's simply fabulous, and I'm going to do a ton of writing and relaxing and pretty much nothing else for the next few months!  This means I should be able to start doing Stargateland stuff again.  Also, at the top of my list is finally writing those auction fics for lynnylou and somehowunbroken that I've owed them for months and months.

On a totally random note, how awesome is Rizzoli and Isles this season?? Not only is it slashier than ever, but the writing's actually good!

Here are 36 gifs I've made from X-Men First Class, all either Charles/Erik or BAMF!Erik. Spoilers for the whole movie! Feel free to snatch, but please don't hotlink. Comments are love. (If you like these, I previously made thirteen gifs from the trailers here.)

Since I've recently become obsessed with X-Men First Class--yeah, I didn't even like it that much in theaters, I have no idea what's happened to my brain--I spent the afternoon making thirteen gifs from the trailers, all centering around Erik and/or Charles. I thought I'd share them here.

Feel free to snag. No hotlinking please!

Summary: Erik Lensherr has just been released from prison. His next step: put together a team and go after Sebastian Shaw, level five mutant, casino owner, and Charles Xavier’s fiancé. AU.
Note: This fic is going to turn out longer than originally planned. I’m not sure how many installments it will end up being. Also, obviously I am messing with the timelines completely here. This is an AU, which means that various events (such as when characters were born) have been rewritten for my purposes. Written for this 1stclass_kink prompt.
Spoilers: X-Men First Class and anything in the trilogy is fair game.
Disclaimer: I don’t own X-Men or Ocean's 11. Also, I think I owe Celine Dion an apology.
