Now that I am finally catching up on the internet at large from the past few weeks, it's time for some linkspam!

I'm still trying to get through all of the greatness that came out of various Robin Hood-related gift exchanges. Not to toot my own organizational horn or anything, but the capslock_hood Secret Santa turned out AWESOME, even if the comments completely ate my inbox. LINK IN CASE YOU MISSED THE GREATNESS. (And actually, oh, I just realized -- there's still one gift missing, but hopefully we'll have it up soon enough.) My own contribution of a shameless Guy/Robin vid:

Guy/Robin - Shackled to Each Other from ForYourEdification on Vimeo.

Then an_lagat_glas wrote me some Mazabella (!!!! I KNOW!!) for isabella_giz: the red queen and the white

lalumena made made me a rockin' desktop for robinxisabella.

And then I got two completely fabulous gifts for gxm_secretsanta, which I guess you can't see if you aren't a member... but hulamoth very kindly reposted her fic: (This is Not a) Dinner Date. AU Guy/Marian collegefic. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT.

A few vid recs embedded behind the cut:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST!! THIS PROMO IS SO AWESOME!

AND AHHHHHH LOST, THIS PROMO IS POSSIBLY THE SINGLE WORST PROMO I HAVE EVER WITNESSED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, I'M SO ASHAMED THAT IT HAS THE "LOST" TITLE ATTACHED TO IT:

Also, rather random, considering that I'm not in this fandom any more... but I've rec'ed this vidder's work before because it is just so so so spot on and fun and clever and wondrous, so who cares if I don't even watch the show? Leverage vid focusing on Parker and Hardison with a side of Eliot (i.e. the three reasons I watched for as long as I did):

Now that I have some free time to catch up on sewing projects, I'm going back to my old habit of browsing etsy for some handmade inspiration -- and, as usual, I have happened upon some true horrors. WHAT, PRAY TELL, IS THIS? NO, REALLY, WHAAAAAT??!!?! It's like that episode of Daria where Jane wants to become The Lady and The Tiger by bleaching streaks into her hair. Looking at embroidery pieces always depresses me, though, because on the one hand I deeply appreciate the sheer number of long tedious hours that go into making these things, but on the other hand... sorry. Why on Earth would somebody pay $40 for this? I really really love this store, though, and wish I had $30 to drop on a pincushion. LOOK AT HOW ADORABLE THIS ONE IS.

I also picked up my final paycheck from Retail Job today, and it was quite a bit more than I anticipated because I forgot that I was getting paid for two weeks instead of just one. Whee! Unexpected money! (Or, alternately -- whee! I have no handle on my personal finances and forget when my pay periods are!)

ETA: HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO INCLUDE THIS??! The whole series is awesome, but, I mean, COME ON OF COURSE THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE:
