lots of random, random things including lists!

Year end roundup of lots 'o stuff.

First off, the ds_seekritsanta fics have been revealed! I wrote Beauty in the Breakdown which is post-CotW fic where Ray and Fraser were forced apart, but see each other every few months while Fraser gets a huge tattoo of wings on his back. It was for stormymouse and I'm happy to know that she enjoyed it. :)

Now the fic roundup... 24 fics plus 1 yuletide fic that I can't reveal at this point because naming the fandom would make it obvious which fic I wrote. ;)

Next I was going to do my top 10 albums, but when I made the list, I realized I didn't have 10. So here's the top seven.

1. Mesmerize/Hypnotize - System of a Down
2. The Beekeeper - Tori Amos
3. The High Cost of Low Living - The Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir
4. Guero - Beck
5. With Teeth - Nine Inch Nails
6. The Legend of Johnny Cash - Johnny Cash
7. Extraordinary Machine - Fiona Apple

*shrugs* So any suggestions of good albums that came out this year, go ahead and shoot them my way. And yes, I know Mesmerize and Hypnotize were two albums, but they count as one in my book. The majority of the albums I bought this year were reissues or older albums. I don't listen to the radio anymore so I tend to miss the new stuff if they're not albums by artists I'm already fond of. What did I listen to a lot this year besides these? A lot of Headstones, David Bowie, Seal, more Beck, SoaD, Tori, Nine Inch Nails, Eminem, The Beatles, U2, and N.E.R.D.


I'm not even going to attempt movies or books. I didn't see enough movies or read enough books to make a list. I could do top ten BPAL scents of the year. What the hell. This list doesn't include a few of my favourites because they weren't released this year.

1. Snake Charmer
2. Beaver Moon
3. Mistkatonic University
4. Quietude
5. Geek
6. Bengal
7. Al-Shairan
8. The Bow and Crown of Conquest
9. The Cracked Bell
10. Kether


Favourite TV shows of the year:

1. Deadwood
2. Rome
3. The Simpsons
4. Family Guy
5. Stargate: Atlantis
6. CSI: Las Vegas
7. Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
8. Harvey Birdman: Attorney-at-Law
9. The Closer
10. Slings and Arrows



And that's that! Thanks for a great year, folks. There were ups and downs, but I'm happy in the end. :)

My top BPAL list would be similar to yours. I'm going to have to try Cracked Bell, Kether, and The Bow and Crown of Conquest. Happy New Year!

The only one that's not like the others is Quietude which I don't use for the scent. It is one of the few things that really works for my insomnia. :)
