I'm eating a big bowl of mac and cheese for dinner (with too little cheese, but what the hell). I really like mac and cheese; it makes everything better.

And, because I am eating dinner and therefore have an excuse to be online (so says my twisted rules in my own head), here is something I stole from

tea_and_snark:

Sometimes, you read or hear or watch something that strikes you in just the right way--you have little previous knowledge of it, so when you're first exposed, it's completely wonderful, and completely magical. It doesn't have to be the pinnacle of its art, but it suits your imagination and your mood almost perfectly, so that when you are exposed to it, it feels both perfectly new and comfortably familiar at the same time.

Name some of those things that you love in that way in the comments, then post it again on your own journal and ask your flist to do the same thing. Make someone else smile, if they like it too--or just share it with someone who's never heard of it before.

My list:
Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones
"Everything is Round" by Leftover Salmon
Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede
Heralds of Valdemar (and subsequent) series by Mercedes Lackey Yes I know they're terrible. I liked them.
Treasure Planet (the movie)

Also, I have an uber-cool paper topic for my Sir Gawain and the Green Knight poem: the interposition of animal symbolism in the three hunting scenes, and the Lady's actions and Gawain's responses in the temptation scenes. Whoo, that sounds all sophisticated...it isn't really, but I might expand this into my long lit paper, and then I can go all literature-snobby. :D

And even though I have to do my presentation for Art on WEDNESDAY (everyfuckingthing is happening today and tomorrow, just shoot me), it is on the Preface II, which is short, and easy, and funny. I adore historians: "...we are obliged to refer to other writers who frequently do not agree in their judgements, or, what is worse, even on their dates--" Ehehe. Is it really dorky that I find that really amusing?
