It's a lovely Friday morning right now.

One of the good things about today through all next week is that I have it to myself. I'm not in classes on campus, which is a nice, and I don't have to go teach yet...though I am sort of chomping at the bit to go do so.

This time is supposed to be for planning. I've got the majority of it done, and it's ( Read more... )

I’ve been re-watching chunks of WatXM to get back in to canon for my andthexmen Christmas exchange.

This has involved me remembering that WatXM!Scott was unconscious for two years. Two. Years.I am now wondering about what kind of impact this would have had on him psychologically. Losing two entire years of emotional and psychological development had to ( Read more... )

A conversation begun with Kelly has made me realize that I actually have a fandom wishlist.

Let me be clear from the start -- I don't mean this as an "OMG GUYS SOMEONE WRITE THIS FOR ME" list. This is an "If you see anything of this sort in your fandom travels, please pass it along because HOLY CRAP I'd love you for it" list.

Now that we have that ( Read more... )

One of the more fun fandom things I've been doing this summer is exchanging themed 'Wolverine and the X-Men' fanmixes via post with Kelly. This has led to much squeeing on both our parts, as we are both music nerds and fandom nerds, and mix-making brings this all together quite nicely.

The latest theme was ships. Both Kelly and I made a list of our ( Read more... )

Watched the Wolverine and the X-Men Episode "Aces and Eights" the other night.

While I now fully understand where the whole Polaris/Gambit bit is coming from, I think I'm far more intrigued by the Scarlet Witch/Gambit dynamic. Seeing as Gambit and Rogue, my bulletproof OTP, have yet to actually share screen time, I think it's a damn good runner up.
