1. I saw this collection of James McAvoy gifs on tumblr, and a) HIS HANDS, and b) okay, Sports Night fans, be with me now: doesn't he look uncannily like Dan Rydell here? Complete with impassioned, hand-gesturing speeches about integrity and principles and all that. ♥! I kind of want a Sorkin-esque XMFC AU now. Like, Erik and Charles as anchors on a political commentary show, or something. Raven is their badass producer! Hank is their Jeremy! Darwin is the best damn editor around! They all argue about politics and public policy on mutants together! COME ON. IT WOULD BE SO GREAT. :D?

2. Hey, so I wrote fic the other day! That was pretty exciting; I haven't finished anything in about a year and a half. Of course, I'm pretty sure only about half a dozen people are going to read it, because of the six different fandoms and massively nerdy meta-ness of it all, but I guess that's the curse of being multifannish. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, though, and I had a great deal of success using my typewriter to pound out the last remaining bits.

3. I put my name in the hat for one of the league soccer teams around here recently, and was just emailed by one of the captains! So I've dragged out my old cleats and soccer ball and sports bag, and will hopefully someday soon get to embarrass myself on the soccer field with my lack of cardiovascular fitness and hopelessly rusty ball-handling skills. It's only been six years since I last played....

4. I would really rather focus on the above than think about the many and various ways that my body is currently screwing me over, because apparently now I might get to add "autoimmune disease" on top of the already-teetering pile. Yet more appointments and labwork lie in my future, hurrah.

I always want Sports Night!AUs. Mostly because I just want more sports and fandom combos.

Haha, fair enough! It's harder for me to go with sports show for a couple of characters as political as Erik and Charles, though. Something more like Sports Night-meets-The West Wing.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING. I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS!

Also, I'm totally having fun picturing that scene with Casey's broken chair, when he sinks down so only his head is visible over the anchor desk, and Dan just loses his shit -- only with Erik and Charles doing this, respectively. AND SO ON. I'M FOND OF THIS IDEA.
