Sons of Anarchy, anyone?

[castalie]

After five days away in the UK living in a fannish world and having fun with my friends, I have to say the return to reality - here, work - was pretty rough today. To reward myself for having survived it all I went shopping with Cookie and got myself a pretty dress for Sunday. Oh, and I also bought a skirt. Because I do wear skirts now, I just tend to forget. And I also might have treated myself with the Fast and Furious boxset. Like, 20€ for the three films? Pretty much a bargain. And I totally blame yami_tai for this as she's the one who decided Monday night was the night when I would finally see the film. Which I loved. To my surprise. I mean, I did know the F&F franchise via the fics? But I'd never watched any of it. Well, now I can say 'yes, I've watched it' and 'yes, I definitely see the appeal'. Need to find even more fics now.

Also, speaking of tv I watched at Tai's, I found myself a new show!! Sons of Anarchy. They'd sky'ed (British equivalent of tivo'ed?) a couple of episodes and we watched the premiere on Sunday night and insta!love! We watched a second episode on Monday and I officially became a fan. Now I just need to download the rest of the season (13 episodes overall, and I have no idea whether there's supposed to be a second one but whatever, I'll still have 13 episodes of Sons of Anarchy awesomeness!)

Unrelated though in relation to my staying at Tai's; in case you'd think we stayed indoors all of Monday and watched tv all day, you'd be wrong! We actually went outside. In the sun. And had a picnic. And it was grand. I'd never heard of the Vyne Estate but I'm glad I remedied it because I loved it. And it was especially good being out in the sun and in the quiet after the weekend's hecticness. Matt and Tai are geniuses ♥ ♥







And back to Asylum now. So I had two fic related thoughts while I was at the con. Ok, so I might have more but those are my favourites. First. When Jensen told us he'd had lasik surgery, my very first thought was 'oh noes! What about all the glasses kink fics I enjoyed so much? Jared is gonna be crushed!' and I'm delighted to see some people already wrote fics about that particular information from the con. And second. On Saturday night - or Sunday since it was 1.00 AM if you like precision like me - right after we were back to our room from the Disco party (where there was basically no disco songs, not that it stopped Tai and me from dancing but, still, where was the disco part of the disco party?) Tai and me watched an episode of Dark Angel on the telly and guess who was in it? Alec. Which immediately made me imagine a fic where Jared would be watching the episode with a sleeping Jensen by his side and having some ideas. Did anyone write anything like that? I'll have to investigate.

Yay, you like F&F! Yes, you have a good taste, girl ;P

Lol I totally thought of you when watching :-) Your name might have popped up a couple of times between Tai and me, too!

*iz now scared* O.O

But yes, I'm quite obsessed with this franchise - sans movie No. 3, of course - and the latest movie is my favorite. Even my layout is Dom and Brian :P And I have the "I'm going with you" garage scene on my mp3 player! *groans* I'm usually not so much into movies but Vin Diesel and Paul Walker have such amazing chemistry!

LOVE the pics! Beautiful!

I'm so glad you had a great time. Another one of my LJ friends was at Asylum and also had a rockin' weekend.

F&F, c'est trop le bien ! ♥ Surtout le 1er et le 4e. Dom et Brian passent tout leur temps à se faire du eyefucking, Merlin et Arthur ont l'air innocent à côté. ^^

Those are gorgeous pictures, it looks like such a lovely place.

And more skirt buying. You're turning into a girl at last ;)

Ooo... very much with the pretty. ;p Sounds like the perfect change from the weekend!

Slightly unrelated but still - I won't be able to make France this month after all. Someone at work is having some family issues and was asking to switch the days off. However, I will still be coming to Paris this year at some point. I want to be all irritating and touristy. Must brush up on my french too.

The whole place was gorgeous!

And I always have such a great time when I go to the UK; I can't get enough ;-)

Good to hear!

Il faut vraiment que je mette la main sur le 4ème opus de la série maintenant *nodnod*

Dom et Brian passent tout leur temps à se faire du eyefucking, Merlin et Arthur ont l'air innocent à côté.

Lol Faut vraiment que je vois ça ! Parce que ce n'est pas tout le monde qui peut battre Arthur et Merlin dans la catégorie 'eyefucking'!

It's a gorgeous place, I had such a great time there. It was so peaceful and quiet ♥

It was the perfect change, yes! I think that's the perfect activity after an Asylum weekend :-)

Oh man, I'm sorry you can't come! I hope you hadn't paid anything yet? Because that would double the disappointment. Another time, then, right?

No need to be scared, your name always comes up when I'm with Tai and it's always good things *g*

You are pretty gone on that fandom, all right ;-) I think I really need to get my hands on the fourth film *nod*

Awesome pics, hun ^_^! Btw, what do you think of Sons of Anarchy now? I'm finding the whole 'women are second class citizens' thing a bit hard to swallow! Especially when the female characters aren't weak by any stretch of the imagination but they can't ever join the club.
