All in all 2018 wasn't a bad year.
( My 2018 )

Went to see Dr. Strange today. No spoilers, but I will say that the special effects were amazing (saw it in VMax, 3D) and BC was actually really good in the role. Well, I think he's good in everything *g* but I thought he really did an excellent job here. Some funny moments, and some nice little shout-outs to other Avengers movies. And, as is ( Read more... )

Finally got to see this film today.

( Two hours of delicious nonsense )

I managed to twist my ankle last night in the silliest of ways. I had been sitting with my left foot tucked up underneath me until it went numb, and when I got up to walk my toe caught on the carpet and my foot twisted under. I put my weight down before I'd realised what had happened, and as a result I have a rather large egg on my ankle. Oddly ( Read more... )

One of my work colleagues is off to Europe on Sunday, flying to Budapest then cruising to Amsterdam, basically doing the cruise I want to do in 2017 only in reverse. At the end of the cruise he's spending time in Paris before flying home. And now I have itchy feet, and I want to be going NOW not in two years' time! Next year is New Zealand again ( Read more... )

Annual General Meeting of our cat council today and I've come home with a huge to-do list to work through, so here I am doing anything but.

I'm cleaning up my bookmarks, re-organising somewhat, as they've followed me from PC to PC over the last 13 - 14 years or so. During the cleanup I found this fic which I'd saved, somehow, under "unsorted bookmarks".

It's Avengers fic, and reasonably short at 2370 words, but it has a dry charm about it. Tony, hungover, is trying to make sense of ( Read more... )

Two in the last week, which is some kind of record for me. Last weekend it was Iron Man 3 and today was Star Trek Into Darkness.

( Here be spoilers )

I haven't been to the cinema for ages, not since the release of The Hobbit, and now all of a sudden there are a couple of films coming up that are must-sees. Iron Man 3 is released on the 24th of this month, and of course Star Trek: Into Darkness is in the cinemas from 9th May. I already have my tickets to that one ( Read more... )
