While reading the news today, I ran across an article detailing last night's hockey game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Washington Capitals and realized, torn somewhere between horror and fascination, that I recognized some of these names. Thanks, fic. I told you I learned useful factoids! Somehow, I'd always pictured Eric Staal sort of tall, dark, and vaguely scruffy like, I don't know, Eric Bana. Finding out all the Staal brothers are tall and very blond threw me.

Whatever, it's still all basically like original fic to me.

In Big Bang news! I didn't know Fantastic Baby was going to get an MV but I love it. It's so weird but so them, and it's so visually interesting. As much as I love Blue as a song, the MV was boring as fuck after the first view. The Bad Boy MV was better and I like the song a lot too, but I love all the weird-ass shit happening in Fantastic Baby. Now there's a band that gets a budget for their MVs, lol. Unlike certain other gigantic boybands who love to dance in boxes...

Big Bang on Running Man can be summed up in two words: Adorable Fail. Seriously. Only Daesung is any good at variety shows and it shows (and I love him eeee). I am so stupidly fond of their stupidity though: Seungri's terrible attempts at being clever, TOP's utter inability to run, GD's constant wide-eyed stress, Taeyang's cute little action hero pretense. PRETTY MUCH I LOVE THEM AND AM EXCITED FOR LIVE PERFS. ♥

In RL news! I have luck and super friends to thank for landing a job in the DC/Maryland area and am moving up there this Saturday. I am excited because yay job! Yay money! I am excited because it's in a great area with lots of people I know and love around. (Also a few people I don't love all that much but that's okay, I can avoid them - it's a big metro area!) I have my apartment squared away and I'm looking forward to packing tomorrow and Friday. Yes, actually, I enjoy packing. Don't judge me.

To conclude, I would like to point out that IT'S MARCH MADNESS. ACC tournament, NCAA tournament, I'm so ready for this. LET'S GO HEELS.

One day I'll renew my paid account so I can use my BB icon again. Whoops. Way to pick some random icons to leave me, LJ.

YAY JOB. DC is an awesome place to be, and I hope you love it! What sort of work are you gonna be doing? :D

Thank you! It's actually non-law stuff, editing mostly, but I'm actually pretty excited it's not law, lol. Though I'm still interested in public interest stuff so may see if I can volunteer with various non-profits in the area once I'm settled in!
