Romans? Yes plz.

Hello friends! I don't have much to say today. You may be interested to know that I am utterly failing at NaNo again, and also my dog has taken to peeing in the house. I HATE YOU TRUDEAU DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME. I think it's because he has new roommates in the form of two golden retrievers. On the up side, he has not eaten their faces off.

In other news, I just happened across this movie trailer today: The Eagle. Now, I don't know who was possessed by madness and thought, "I know! Channing Tatum!" but just from watching the trailer, friends, I can tell that you are going to enjoy this movie. I'm going to enjoy it because it has Romans and horses and Romans on horses and generally speaking that's all I need in life. But you're going to love it because it looks like the most slash-tastic slashiness that ever did slash. I mean, seriously, it's hot master/slave love/hate Roman-on-Gaul(?) action. With some guys random who look like maybe Africans? I'm so confused. But I don't care.

Romans. Horses. Like I said.

Speaking of films: Cowboys & Aliens: Best idea ever, or best ever idea? Discuss.

In other other news, I'm doing another send-me-your-photos drive to drum up a bit of pet portrait business. Anybody want a pet portrait? I'm trying to go crazy with watercolor and inks and stuff. Experimentation ftw! If I didn't get to your photo last time and you'd still like it to be artified, please send it again. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I'mma make arts.

In other other other news, there is no other news. It is really cold here. I expect that soon we will be buried in snow. We who are about to learn to snowshoe salute you.

I have been listening to Tacitus again lately. It is pretty cool. Except for the anti-Semitism.

Snowshoeing is a lot of fun, you will probably like it.

I reckon I will, still haven't done it yet though. Shockingly enough, it's in the 50s this week and all our snow is gone, unless I went all the way up to the ski resort, which I did over the weekend. I learned to cross-country ski, yay! It was totally awesome, I'm hooked. :)

Um, do you know that movie is based on a book? A very slashy book? Which is part of a sort-of-series, every part of which is slashy?

I do not have high hopes for the movie, but the books are fabulous.

"Eagle of the Ninth" is the first one. I'm sure it's a Yuletide fandom and that there's been fic in previous years, though it's ages since I went looking for any.

Noooooo, I did not know that! I may now need to acquire them. Maybe they're on paperbackswap...
