today and Merlin

These pictures of the Obamas are not new but they're sure to brighten your day or evening or whatever. I mean seriously, I can't believe how adorable this family is.

I am not actually experiencing Yuletide stress but I use this icon out of sympathy for those of you who are and because I think it's so great. With help from [livejournal.com profile] claudia603 I finished and uploaded a third story this afternoon, and got a screencap of my name with story number 200. \o/ I know it's pretty meaningless but it's neat to see a big round number like that.

The weather here is very icky tonight. I was out running in the afternoon just as the rain was starting to freeze. A lot of other people were also at the grocery store stocking up since it's going to get worse tonight and tomorrow. Luckily I shouldn't have to go out at all tomorrow. My roommate and I are in for the night and planning to heat up some frozen pizza and maybe make some mulled wine and watch a movie, about which I may or may not then try to write another Yuletide story. o_0

Ooh, and last night I watched the first episode of Merlin! I like it okay so far, will need to watch some more to see whether I really get hooked or not. Merlin is certainly a cutie. I enjoy staring at him and am a total sucker for both his sweetness and his "omg why am I like this?" angst. On the other hand I'm afraid the show in general might be a little too cute for me. Like during the cute fight scenes when there's that cheerful music playing, or when the kids are throwing vegetables at him, I get all grumbly. Also I really can't stand Arthur and I don't mean that in a love-to-hate-him kind of way, I mean I really can't stand him and find him boring. As far as I can tell the fandom will be all about Merlin/Arthur and I think that will remind me of Harry/Draco which I don't read because, you know, I really can't stand Draco. But like I said I'll need to watch some more. Heck, I did not care for the first two Harry Potter books and movies either. Maybe this show will also get darker and more interesting to me as it goes on.

Oh, those pics of Obama the Family Man were gorgeous! Those little girls are cute enough to eat with a spoon, he was clearly having a blast playing Uno with them, and Michelle just sitting back and looking like Indulgent Mama! *squishes the First Family Elect*
