Last two weeks were generous for me in terms of entertainment and the following two will probably match them in that regard. Going to the pictures (that’s how our grandmas talked about cinema, right?), attending our friend’s dancing tournament, Wii playing party… Nice to experience that not my old age, neither Luke’s demanding presence stop me from ( Read more... )

When in 2008 Lena convinced me to see Iron Man with her, I didn't predict that I'd take a sudden fancy to both Tony Stark and Robert Downey Jr. Well, I did.

It resulted in frenzied weeks of watching the plethora of Downey's movies, and in frenzied months spent reading fics on - quel horreur - a comic hero. (Muttered to self: as if I didn't do it ( Read more... )

Wakisashi-girl once wrote something that made me think. :-) It was just a small off-topic reply in a post centered on a completely different issue, but it got to me ( Read more... )

I blame Lena for my new flight of fancy ( Read more... )

Now that everyone and their mum knows about poor Albus outed by Mrs. J.K.R., one thing came to my mind and refused to go away: that last fight between Grindelwald and Dumbledore. I was suddenly reminded of "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" by Obi-Wan. Poor Ani just layed there, barbecued and thought  to himself "And it's NOW you tell me ( Read more... )

 
Guilty OTPs

There are some guilty pleasures we all entertain when well hidden far from critics' eyes. All those little stupid things that are in our opinion too undignified and too plebian to bring in the light.
