Apparently my earlier post failed to crosspost, so for those of you who missed it, relevant-House-fans-I-am-looking-at-you, my flail is here.

Today I had a tragically long day at work and only got home at close to 22:30 /o\ And my dinner was an enormous hotdog at the train station that an hour later gave me indigestion, TMI but THAT WAS FUN.

But I managed to catch some of the season premier of Polishuk, the political comedy about the accidental cabinet minister, which is fast-paced and actually funny to me most of the time, which does not happen too often in Israeli TV. And earlier this week I watched another new Israeli political drama called The Prime Minister's Children, which felt like it might as well have been called The Good Wife, but unironically: the series premier starts with the swearing in ceremony of the new Primer Minister, and his wife and two kids moving into their new residence in Jerusalem. The wife really want to be a PM's wife, doesn't want to live there, and we learn that the couple had previously been sleeping in separate beds, but now that they're the First Couple they have to keep up appearances, and basically, at least for the first episode, she actually is playing the part of the good wife :(. It's a beautifully produced show, though, and interestingly cast, and I'll keep watching if I get the chance. Bonus points for casting Alona Tal as the PM's daughter :-)

And also I watched The Good Wife. I can sum up my reaction with the following: ;________; D: D: D: ;__;.

Okay a couple of things and I am going:

1. Fic fest pimping: in_the_beginning, the Hebrew Bible Fanworks Fest, is having a special Shavuot round! here is the short kickstart post. You can post prompts in the prompt post, and prompt claiming will begin this Sunday, May 15th. Works will be posted on June 7th-9th, which just happens to be Shavuot, the date when according to tradition the first five books of the Bible were given to humankind seewhatwedidthere? :D

So if you've ever felt like drawing or reccing or meta-ing or writing fic about the Bible, or about Bible spinoffs like animated Dreamworks films or West End musicals or Hollywood epics or whatnot, this would be the time! You don't have to wait for Yuletide. (Also PSSST crossovers are not only allowed but squeed at.)

(also psst I am a mod, you can be nice to me and prompt stuff even if you don't plan on participating.)

2. annemari is having a, um, beautiful-people-vote-off thing, where every day you have to vote for the LEAST attractive boy and girl she posts until finally there is a winner. This is actually pretty horrible because most of the boys are Bandom people (but not all) and I have to CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM. Yesterday I didn't vote and then Ryan Ross was voted off. I BLAME MYSELF. So unless you also want to have guilty consciences over your favorites being voted off, you should vote. Bus mostly you should head over to that post because annemari compiles really pretty picspams.

3. A version of Panic performing Carry On My Wayward Son with good audio. If you are not in Bandom, you will look at this and see Sweaty Eleventh Doctor Wannabe Fanboys Supernatural, Sings Karaoke. However, if you like Panic, you'll probably be going omg look he's so haaappy look at them rock those soloooos eeee :D, and also rue the fact that for the first time ever you want the camera to zoom out so you can see everybody's guitar fretting better, but ah well.

4. And okay, the thing that made my tragically long day end on a pretty great note was reading this on the train, so rec: The Sweet Spot (Bandom, Brendon/Spencer, 15,000 words, R). It's just arrgh so freaking sweet, with funny dialogues and character who care about each other and love and tease and it's a Harlequin story that has two tropes I love, one of them being Bakery-owner!Spencer (a trope in itself!) and the other being something best unspoiled though it's not actually a spoiler, just a trope I love. Summary: "Responsibility" should be Spencer Smith's middle name (except it's James). After all, not many people would sacrifice their lives to run the family bakery and raise their twin sisters. But now the girls are grown, and Spencer has to learn to put his own needs first! And Brendon, the Sweet Spot's newest regular, might just be what Spencer's looking for. But will Brendon's past get in the way of their present?

So one of these days someone should open up another harlequin_bands fest, y/y?

5. There is a meme and I am doing it here:
THE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MEME
my thread here

I'll finish with a philosophical question: if you have 15 mosquito bites and you have killed 1 mosquito, who counts as the winner, the mosquito or you?
