We could get anywhere from 1-3, 3-6, or 6-8 inches of snow today. That's a ridiculous forecast for several reasons. First, 1-8 inches is a BIG DIFFERENCE. You can drive in an inch of snow; you can't really drive in eight. Second, it's October. Fall can be pretty short here, and the weather can turn cold quickly, but snow in November is early, snow ( Read more... )

Uploading to AO3 in this over-tired state is too much for my barely-there concentration and has predictably devolved into more re-reading and less re-posting of stories. Oh, Xavier/Magneto, how I loved having you break my heart over and over! I need to run errands and clean and pack tonight and I'm afraid I might end up wholly distracted by ( Read more... )

Last night I found myself accidentally watching X-Men: The Last Stand. I was sucked in by Kitty and got all excited when Magneto appears to the mutant town council meeting and was about to settle down to watch when I realized abruptly that I simply could not watch what happens next after Magneto finds the black caravan of mutant prisoners.

I've been trying to write this post since at least Thursday, and various tiredness and distraction keeps leaving me with too many paragraph breaks and random lists of unfinished thoughts.

I finished reading The Moor, and this book is one of the funniest in the series. It's nothing about the plot or the circumstances Russell and Holmes find ( Read more... )

The audio version of O, Jerusalem offered up another wavy hands moment - it was more of a shrieking laughter moment, actually, and it's all because of the narrator's perfect Holmes' voice. Russell had just demonstrated her willingness to defend Ali and Mahmoud was expressing his surprise. Mahmoud says, "But women do not fight." Russell quickly ( Read more... )

I have an urge to write Kitty/Peter from Astonishing X-Men. The truth is, they'd more than likely end up getting transplanted into the movieverse in some way, because I'm not sure I understand the rules of the Astonishing universe and I'm wary of being jossed in some subtle but significant way ( Read more... )

I have to start talking about X-3 this way: ( spoilers )
