Manliness (the nongendered type?)
Last week I had a cold, one of those ones where your eyeballs and your eardrums ache and your sinuses want to explode and you can't talk without coughing. Thankfully it seems to be fading and now I have the wherewithal to rejoin the world and care about more than just sleeping and zoning out. There's always this moment when you're recovering from an illness or a crisis where you suddenly realize that you can *think complex thoughts again*. It's strangely satisfying, that feeling, like catching up from a sleep debt or finally finishing a long-procrastinated task.
Thanks to reading my flist for the first time since before said cold, I have just realized that there was a whole 'nother hour to the SPN finale that, since I was at the hockey game, never got taped by my TiVo. That explains why the whole thing didn't make any damn sense to me. *facepalm*
We watched Unstoppable last night via Netflix. It was so awesome I was cackling like a witch. Seriously, *awesome*. Perfect explosion-y movie, with just the right amounts of love interest and manly bonding and peril, and yes, explosions, and destroyed trailers and a dude with a monster truck who likes to mack on waitresses. But mostly Chris Pine and Denzel Washington being all Pine-y and Denzel-y and manly together. I told the boy it has to be the MANLIEST MOVIE EVER. Seriously, there's a bit where Chris Pine's character gets his foot stuck in a train connector bit and then Denzel Washington's character throws him a roll of duct tape to tape up his foot for the time being. INJURED FOOT WRAPPED IN DUCT TAPE = MANLIEST MOVIE EVER. It really was enjoyable, and well-crafted, with great cinematography, and it also has a non-love-interest-or-mom female character who is kickass.
I want to see Thor, hoping the experience is similarly awesome and manly. Anyone seen it?
