Here's my answers to my own catch-up prompt. Feel free to jump on the catch-up bandwagon, here or on Tumblr or anywhere you like.

So what have you been up to?

So, for reasons that I'm assuming had to do with a traumatic childhood viewing of Edward Scissorhands, my wife has a shockingly vehement objection to Johnny Depp.

I dragged her along to

I had a moment of privilege/realization while watching the Sarah Bareilles 'Brave' video. Have you seen it? The character rocking out in the library - unf. I had an overwhelming need to know if this character was a lady or a dude. And I couldn't tell how they were presenting and I couldn't figure out why the hell I needed to know ( Read more... )

I had a flash of my own supervillain origin story moment this morning on the way into work. I was listening to NPR (always a mistake to listen to radio news instead of Fall Out Boy) and heard the President's blistering speech about the complete failure of the Senate to pass any gun reform. I was enraged all at once about how little anyone seems to ( Read more... )

So I've been thinking about venturing into Person of Interest.

And then I am pretty sure I ended up in Fairy instead of getting any restful sleep, because I am sleepy toast, and because I had this long, involved dream where I had to represent my pack or ( Read more... )

I've been sitting on this story and intermittently poking at it for a while and I really just need to let it go, especially since there are people in this fandom now who have never heard of Brian Schechter. It's a bummer over-identifying with the guy I still remember from the shadows of the last show of the Black Parade tour.

Ok, it's mini-disasterpalooza over here today! I forgot my phone at home on the day I need to make several important phone calls; re: the phone thing, I forgot I have two-part verification on for my email which means I can't open my email unless I can enter the text code on my phone fine FINE; I'm in a work situation where I'm taking on extra work ( Read more... )
