Pens, Hamilton (not the farm team), Steerswoman 3, and that Blackhawks situation

It was technically the second pre-season game, but the game the Pens played yesterday featured most of their stars and kind of felt like the first. It was a lot of fun! I only watched a part of the first period and got to see goals by Tanger and Olli. 7-3 overall, and Phil scored two goals. (Apparently more reporters wanted to talk to Phil than to Sid, this is probably not working out as Phil hoped *g* man it's great to see him smiling so much.) I can barely wait for the start of the regular season.
Me: Tanger with four points, Olli with a goal… Good game :)
DD: though I'm paranoid about guys with a history of injuries/illnesses starting the season with a 4 points game. (but it's the preseason so hopefully it doesn't count.)
Me: WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME OF THAT
DD: do you really think I enjoy suffering alone? Hell yes I'm gonna share thoughts like that.
Ah, fandom friendships <3

Someone on Tumblr posted a Wait For It, a song from the new musical "Hamilton." As I sometimes do with songs I really like and/or can't get out of my head, I listened to it on a loop for hours. "Life doesn't discriminate/between the sinners and the saints/it takes and it takes and it takes…"
naye recced the musical and linked to an audio version. I just listened to Act I and I really liked it. I was a bit worried audio only would be confusing - I'm generally not good at telling voices apart, or at least not at remembering which voice belongs to whom – but it was surprisingly clear, I could understand the words well and follow the action (I'm pretty sure.) The lyrics are very good, especially the rhymes, and overall the music is excellent. I'm looking forward to Act 2 (though I've heard it's a bit sadder so it might have to wait a few days.)

I read "The Lost Steersman", the third Steerswoman book, and I liked it a lot. ( Spoilers )

( Blackhawks )

Should have taken a nap today

I finished "Hamilton." It's fantastic! I've probably listened to "Wait For It" another twenty times by now, and others also multiple times, like the Cabinet 1+2, My Shot... I hope there'll be a DVD eventually, New York is a bit far. A CD is coming soon.

The other thing I did to procrastinate today was watch Sid and Nate at Tim Horton's, multiple times. They are adorable together, McGinnis and "rookie of the year 2013" Sidney Crosby. Desert Island lady is great.

Shousetsu Bang*Bang is ten! If you don't know it, it's a slash zine with original works (and occasional f/f, artist etc. issues) with 73 issues so far. (more info) I don't read it regularly, but they have some excellent stories and I usually enjoy them a lot. I recently found out that there are usually reviews of each new issue, that will make it easier to find the stories that interest me most.

I'm already planning stories I want to write for the trickortreatexchange, and worrying about Yuletide nominations. I want to finish at least two books before I decide on nominations, I should probably continue reading.

I got a new haircut, basically the same I get every six months and then I let my hair grow out. Right now it's a nice length to wear it open instead of in a pony tail or with a clasp, but I forgot that one of the reasons why I rarely wore it open is because I keep scratching my head when I'm distracted and then it itches more and more. I hope I can get out of that habit.

Today has been another day of procrastination -.- At least I cooked? Not very happy with my productivity right now. I think I need to sleep more again, I tried seven and a half hours for a while and it doesn't seem to be enough.
