New Year's Eve was a cavalcade of movies for me:

Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol--It was a fun way to waste a couple of hours, and I loved several of the characters, including Jeremy Renner's Brandt and Paula Patton's Jane, but I don't know if it would get me excited about any future installments of the movies. I will say Jane was AWESOME, and ( Read more... )

* You know, as much as could be said about how much 2011 sucked--and wow, could I and have I said a lot, but I will now just say, "2011, I will not miss you"--my fannish year held blessed little to complain about for me. So I'm looking to do that ( Fannish End of the Year Meme )

* Doctor Who and its season finale just also happened to be this weekend. ( Cut for comments )

1. My flist! Among other reasons, several people posted recs in multiple fandoms I am interested in, meaning I have a ton of To Read booknmarks on Delicious to go through over the next few days ( Read more... )

Firstly, I went test driving on Saturday. That was kind of fun, and definitely an exercise in contrasts. ( Cut for all the ins and outs of that )
