usedtobeljsSeptember at last! September at last!
Of course, because I'm in the swampy subtropics, autumn is more like six weeks away. (I cannot tell you how high the dewpoint is here, but it's the kind of steam where a step out the door brings on the sweat.) But the light is changing at last, and I can see my favorite season coming.
Besides work and anxiety, I've started watching Kaos on Netflix. It's basically a modern AU of Greek mythology; Zeus (played by Jeff Goldblum) is King of the Gods, he's married to Hera (played by Janet McTeer), etc. etc, but he's a tyrant. His old "friend" Prometheus, played brilliantly by my fave Stephen Dillane, is at once a prisoner, the narrator of the show, and orchestrator of a plot against the gods. What follows is, like the title says, something chaotic.
There are a LOT of characters and threads, maybe too many for my taste. It's dark and comic at the same time. But three episodes in, I'm intrigued.
I don't see myself being fannish about it, however. Right now my fandom activity is in Twisters. Two links:
*The fanvids are very heavy on Taylor Swift, which doesn't entirely surprise me. ;) One of my favorites is this Kate/Tyler vid, "Cowboy Like Me". The vid does a great job of showcasing why I love this pairing.
And I've started a followup to "Best Days", the freeform fic I wrote which is after canon. The new fic is what happens when the new tornado season starts and what Kate and Tyler have to figure out: "Best Laid Plans", Chapter One.
EDITED TO ADD: And the second and final chapter is up too.
Happy weekend, happy week ahead!
