Sky Writings

I just noticed today's date was the birthday of one of my favourite figure skaters (obsessive much?), so I decided to see if I could find anything on the web on him. Lo and behold, I find a post on ontd_skating dedicated to him! (And even though it's on a ONYD comm, the post is pretty straightforward, with many, many pics, videos and info. <3)

The reason why I am a (Russian) figure skating fangirl for life: Alexei Urmanov

I'm pretty sure the costume pictured at the beginning of the post is the reason why he caught my eye in the first place... Real men can wear sequins, dammit! (And ruffles... And gloves. ;)

BTW, is it wrong that the protagonist for the original story I was going to do for Nano is inspired by him? Or is it just plain creepy? XP

In other news, I really should be writing at the moment, but I feel no inspiration; it's very frustrating. :/ I keep on starting to write stuff, but am unable to finish... And I also want to draw, but I'm not happy with my drawings either (I tend to only draw tiny thumbnails while I experiment with costuming, sigh)...

I must thank myaru for that Chicken Tikka Masala recipe she posted a while back... I finally got to make it yesterday, and mmm, it tasted a lot like what I usually order at the Indian restaurant nearby (which closed a few months back, doh). Me and the SO have been eating this since yesterday, OM NOM NOM.

I really wish I had noticed the coconut milk substitution for the cream though; I used half & half, which was okay, but I think the coconut milk would've been tastier. :9

In related news, I can't believe there is a "What Would Brian Boitano Make" show on Food Network. O_o (And yes, he uses a variation of the South Park song as his theme. XD) My inner figure skating fangirl is simultaneously amused and cringing inside... Brian, I like you well enough, but you ain't no Alton Brown. XP

(Hmm, I wonder if I should make a Food tag, now...)

Been watching Kyou Kara Maou on Youtube lately... I can see why the series is popular; it's got a lot of what I enjoy in an anime series: fantasy, comedy... (And the shonen-ai elements are a bonus. XD)

( When Fandoms collide! )

EDIT: Heh, I guess I'm not the only one who noticed this connection... (It's nice to feel vindicated. XD)
