Mint, baby. Mint.
I had today off, as I work this weekend. I used my time wisely for a change! (Wisely for me, at any rate.) I woke up not much later than I usually do, and went up to Starbucks to write. I'm 11k into my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
het_bigbang fic, and I'm very happy with it. I'm glad I signed up, because I'm not sure I would have written it otherwise. It is very plotty, though - so far I've only had one kiss! I do enjoy dense plotty stories slotted into canon, though, instead of the standard gap-fillers and post-ep stories. It feels like I'm expanding the universe in some way.
After I finished my writerings for the day, we went to see Super 8. WHICH WAS AMAZING. It reminded me so much of all the movies I love from the 80s - that feeling that you're watching actual kids, y'know, and not weird teenage worldly facsimiles. It was just a really, really great movie, and for the first time in a long time, it actually made me want to pick up a camera and make a movie.
I've spent the rest of the evening working on a fanvid forfandomverse, and I actually started before the day it was due, so I'm spending some time on it. I'm about three-quarters of the way through, and may be able to finish this weekend. Hopefully it won't be as busy as it was the last weekend I worked; sometimes I'm like, holy crow IT'S THE WEEKEND, why are you all at the library. GO DO THINGS.
I was going to (finally) watch the Game of Thrones finale (it's okay, I read the book, I know what happens), but I'm kind of tired of looking at my computer screen, so I think I'm going to snuggle into my bed and either read or watch some Battlestar. The perfect cap to an actual nice day.
