I haven't been here for 14 whole days. Huh. Well... Merry Christmas, in any case! :) I'm mostly spending my time over on Tumblr, still as smitten as ever with Shadowhunters and since Freeform gave us another trailer for Xmas, here ya go, sharing is caring ;)



Is it January 2nd (3rd morning for me) yet?

I just spent $250 in one go! But! I also now have Xmas presents for all my RL friends and family! My twin friends wanted - both of them! - Frederick Forsyth's autobiography. And for my mom, I got all the books she was missing in the "Lucky" series by Jackie Collins - I had to dig deep and get some of them in thrift stores because they're hopelessly sold out! And I also got her three perfumes: Bruno Banani, Gabriela Sabatini and Avon. Hopefully, I won't have to buy anything more this year... *winces*

And with Matt Daddario all Christmassy and with antlers on his head, I wish you all Merry Christmas, my friends! *smooshes you all*

Had to order a new TV because the speakers in the old one started crackling. Why does stuff like that always happen before or during the holidays? Which means the new one won't arrive before next week?

Well, at least I could still use all the Xmas discounts out there. 6.600CZK for a 32" Sencor. Not bad, I think. Honestly, I was becoming really tired of my mom's complaints about the TV. This sum won't exactly cripple me financially, but I will have to consider more carefully how I spend my money over the next few weeks/months... Well, better to buy quality stuff that lasts, right?

♥ Saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens today. I loved Finn and Rey, and what we saw of Poe. Leia was also awesome. But Han... spoilers ) And Kylo Ren... spoilers ) I would say 7/10 - some good action but it didn't inspire a sense of awe in me like the previous movies.

♥ Saw the trailers for Point Break - YES! Creed - eh. Captain America: Civil War - ok.

♥ My mom offered to buy me a wireless mouse for Xmas. So, I ordered it today because they still promise to deliver it in time. But I added a little something for her - a purple tablet cover. That way, if the parcel does NOT arrive in time, we will both get a little something next week :)

♥ Yes, I'll give my mom a new tablet for Xmas - 10.1" Prestigio Multipad. Her 8" has been wonky these last few weeks. And also some Davidoff perfumes - 3 scents. And as a funny bit, neon stickers/reflective items for safe walking in the dark, they're neon pink and really cute :)) And also a purple document case, water- and shatterproof, made of aluminum. I love to give her "serious" gifts and then something funny.

At this moment, the characters are all that keeps me going. Because, yes, the characters are amazing. John, Dorian, Maldonado, Stahl, even Rudy... They are funny, likable and they have fantastic chemistry - and they deserve better storylines, honestly. So far, the writing has been average at best and I ffwd'd through some parts because, when John and Dorian aren't on the screen, bickering, it's... kinda boring.

Best parts? Spoilers! ) Basically, everything John and Dorian related.

I also hope that if wishes were horses... ) That would be all kinds of awesome, wouldn't it?



On another note, I bought some movies as a Xmas gift to myself: Underworld 3&4, Jack Reacher, Daybreakers, Hysteria and Wrath of the Titans. They had them all cheap...

I received some really sweet gifts from my mom this year. And Children of Dune from [livejournal.com profile] yami_tai! You should've heard me coo with happiness. Man, I love this mini-series so much. Yes, I'm still smitten with Leto and Ghanima!



And then we watched Red with my mom because she's awesome and she loves Bruce Willis. I talked her ear off about Karl Urban. He looked really cool in this movie. Lovely!



And now I'm off to bed. Have a Merry Xmas!

My mom got me an anthology of all Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short stories, a jigsaw puzzle and a new bra - exactly what I wanted! \o/ The anthology is a beautiful new edition - in Czech - all embossed and stuff. Gorgeous!

And then we watched The A-Team movie and LOL'd like loons. Mom loved it!

I really need to read some Hannibal/Face slash because this movie screamed that pairing, IMHO - why is it that when writers give a guy a girlfriend, they now feel perfectly okay with exploring the depth of his relationship with another guy? O.o

Also, I really need a fic about what happened before the "8 years... and 80 successful missions later" part. Something that would explain why Face ended up all shot and hooked up to an IV. Because his injuries didn't look like a small thing.

So, does anybody know of any sites/comms with TAT fics/recs?

Merry Christmas, my dear flist! May your holidays be full of joy and peace :)

I decided not to send out any Xmas cards this year again. Instead, I donated the money to Skutečný dárek - Real Gift - a charity organization that buys useful things and gives them directly to people in need in Africa and Asia, they don't send money that might end up in the pocket of some corrupt official but real, tangible things. You can buy a family a cow or a flock of chicken and you receive a confirmation of who did the gift receive and when.

Ehm

Today is my name-day - my RL name's Kateřina - so I bought a gift for myself: a digital camera, OLYMPUS FE 47 Silver. Yup, until now, I've lived without a digital camera. Don't ask me how, but it was getting mighty inconvenient, let me tell you, and since I'm going to...

Well, I hope I won't jinx it by saying it aloud: I'm going to the Supernatural con Jus in Bello in Rome next year. Awesome guests were announced: Jared and Jensen and Misha, Mark A. Sheppard and Richard Speight Jr. - and Eric Kripke! And Steve Carlson :) I bought the Angel Pass, which allows me to attend basically everything. I hope that at least some of the guests arrive *crosses fingers tight*

But back to my camera. I promised myself that from now on, I won't buy anything till Xmas. Well, should the offer be too good to resist... Ehm. And I still want to buy my mum Iron Man 2, The A Team and Inception on DVD for Xmas, she loves movies like that. I bet she'll adore the new A Team!

Merry Christmas, my dear friends! Have a great day! :)

Finally, my comment notifications are coming in. It'll take some time to sort out to what I already responded, though *sigh*

And thank you so much for the Xmas card, Leslie! *hugs you tight* It's beautiful!

I decided not to send Xmas cards this year, but to collect the money I would pay for postage and give it to a charity - don't know which one yet, will have to investigate first. Shipping from the Czech Republic is usually quite expensive and if the money helps someone somewhere...

ETA: I'll probably donate the money to Světluška (Firefly), a charity helping blind and visually impaired people.

I started reading Naomi Novik's "Throne of Jade", second in her Temeraire series. From the direction the book took on the very first page, I suspect that this one will be an angst!fest O.O

And I want to thank you, [livejournal.com profile] klingonpoo and [livejournal.com profile] disutansu, for your beautiful Xmas cards *hugs both*
