good news! plus recs! plus alias!

pre_emptive quoted someone about how Gerard Way's name acronyms to "gay drawer." As she pointed out, it is doubly appropriate given the secondary meaning of draw-er, ie someone who draws. NEW LJ NAME TIME.

Today I got an email from business affairs at the university informing me that after two and a half weeks, they have finally gotten around to depositing my aid money into my bank account. It takes a day or two to clear, but OH MAN YOU GUYS. I CAN HAS CLEAN LAUNDRY AND TOILET PAPER?

Here are two stories I really loved recently that you might love too:

+ The End of the Rainbow by onneonnights -- ADORABLE PETE/MIKEY COLLEGE AU ALL FOR ME MWAHAHAHAHA. Yep.

+ Swap by impertinence -- my first reaction to GOOD WAYCEST appearing on my friends list is to think it's some sort of trick. When I figure out it's for REAL OMG, my next thought is that I must be being rewarded for something. I don't think I've actually done anything to deserve this, but I'm okay with that.

I'm still continuing slowly on with my rewatch of Alias; I'm up to about 2x03. God, I had forgotten how everything just seems to suddenly click into place at the end of season 1, the shift from kinda fun to suddenly breathless awesome. And now I have Lena Olin. SIIIIIIIIIIGH. I think Irina/Jack might actually be the hottest het couple ever to appear on television. (And you guys know exactly how fierce my love for John/Aeryn is, so this is not an easy decision.)

In one of the episodes in late season 1, Will finds this photograph in Sydney's junk drawer. If I had found that picture in a friend's junk drawer, I would be like "Wow, I didn't know Syd's dad used to be a homosexual actor!" But, no, Will made like actual deductions about spies and stuff. Will was a way better reporter than I would be, man.

ETA: Oh, man, I was going to go watch QI series 5 on youtube, but the link I had saved is for a suspended account. Anybody know where I can get a hold of stuff?

I still really want Alias on dvd. I had the first two seasons for a while, then stupidly sold them when I was strapped for cash. But watching reruns now and again is totally awesome.

Sark. Will. Oh my heart.

Are they still selling the whole five seasons in one big package? I want it so bad, man. I'm relying on torrents right now.
