* I, like everyone else, have been thinking about Mandela. I can't say what I'm doing, though, is mourning ( Read more... )

* Saw Gravity this weekend. Non-spoilery reaction ( Read more... )

* It's the first week of school, sure (starts Wednesday), but I'm really all about the start of Agents of SHIELD tomorrow night. WHY IS IT ONLY MONDAY ( Read more... )

* Watched Riddick over the weekend. I can say that it was better than I was expecting: it's a good action movie more in line with Pitch Black, and some nice effects. Someone's also definitely watched a lot of John Ford movies, if those vistas are anything to go by ( Read more... )

This not completely unheard of: she got freaked and managed to get out about five years ago, and was gone for a week(ish) before we could re-trap her. (She was a semi-feral kitten, and she tends to run away from those of us she' ( Read more... )

I'm just coming out of a work-related avalanche long enough to breathe, and find many things to celebrate:

* First and foremost, of course, DOMA and Prop 8 struck down by the US Supreme Court. I can't explain how high I feel today ( Read more... )
