A fanfic rec and a small batch of picspam

[tinyammmy]

So first, the rec. The Servant's Master is a Yuletide fic about Thomas Beckett and Henry II that is fabulously evocative and well-written. Slash, but nothing more than PG-13. Go, go read. (I've discovered, apparently, that RPF only bothers me if the people involved are still alive. Go figure.)

Also, I saw There Will Be Blood today. I'm too lazy to post a full review, but if you want it, ask. I'd say, on the whole, worth seeing, but no need to run to the theater.

Alright, so today was freakishly cold. Single digits cold. And as most of our house is poorly insulated, the windows were covered in frost and condensation. And it inspired me to take pictures. So... here they are.





This was the frost that actually inspired the series of photos. It was over the washing machine, so I noticed it as I was doing laundry. So here are the better results from the resultant photos. All of them are either taken through windows, or of light and shadow coming from a window.










(This, boys and girls, is called a snow line. Heh.)























(This, I might add, is a broken barometer/thermometer combo. Pay no attention to the readings. Heh.)

And so, my photographic outing ended for the day.

That frost is so pretty...! Especially on the colored glass.

DITTO. I came to this revelation like... yesterday. And it all makes sense to me now.

Also, that first frost picture is incredible! I've never seen anything like it. I also love the picture of the chainmail against the sun. And the percipitation over the window overlooking the blue sky and tree.

Summarized: All the photos are awesome.

My icon demands to know why you don't have an inexplicably filty and naughty crush on him the same way tamburlaine does.

[tinyammmy]

Thank you. ^_^

Oh, I do, is the trouble.

Daniel Plainview = A+ (and a tiny, not so well-considered crush)
The score = A+ (I really could go on about the music about as long as about Daniel/the performance)

The rest of the film = B. Or thereabouts. Though honestly, I'll just watch him act for 2 and a half hours with that music behind him, and be happy as a clam.

I agree about the score. I downloaded it and have been listening to it a lot. Rock!

And I do agree with you about the rest of the movie too. I gave it a B+ overall, because in the arena of modern films, you rarely see films like that and it gets credit for bringing "cinema" back, a la "Taxi Driver".

[tinyammmy]

Very much so! It also, I think, had touches of "Aguirre: Wrath of God," in places. (In a good way, as not everyone likes that movie.)

What lovely photographs! Clearly you are not only surrounded by beauty; you also have an eye for capturing it.

Yeah, I feel the same way about RPF.

[kanamidori.livejournal.com]

My favorites are some of the pretty frost patterns and the picture with the amber colored earrings. Yay photography. ^_^

[tinyammmy]

Thank you. ^_^

How strange is that. I mean, with these two, I would argue that I'm looking at them as characters in a play, but it's not true, because these are not Anouilh's Thomas and Henry.

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

I first got sucked in by the Lawrence of Arabia fandom--ironically, also by lovely fic which was far more based on the person than the characters. ^_~

[tinyammmy]

Oo, sounds intriguing.
