March of the Penguins.

We watched March of the Penguins tonight and wow! I always loved penguins but now I have so many new reasons to love and respect them. Such determination and dignity. Of course, being the big soft girlie that I am, I sniffled my way through the whole thing and was devastated when a father penguin dropped his egg. (There was a thing with a seal too, but I hid under Dave's arm. I said I was soft, right?)

Also: I'm really keen to find out if they used filters when filming. The lighting was so bright, pure and hopeful that I'd love to believe that it was 100% natural. But who knows, these days? At any rate, I'll be rewatching this a lot in 2006, I think.

I also did a bit of writing--mainly on my Authority fic (~600 words) and another paltry 100 words on a James/Lars fic. Hopefully I'll still be in a writing mood after seeing Kong tomorrow.

Finally: yuletide boasts three half-decent Coupling (UK) stories this year, rockfic! They can be found here. Oh, there's also quite a bit of Deadwood fic, but I've no idea if that's good or not.
