I just got back from seeing it. I loved it! They were very subtle with the "This happens in the 1960s!" thing, and I enjoyed that neither the Russians or the Americans were bad guys. Also, I could totally see why the internet (and James McAvoy) are convinced Erik and Charles are madly in love. Speaking of McAvoy, he is insanely cute, which I rather ( Read more... )

We finished all of our accounts (except the long-term ones) before Christmas holidays and there was no point in starting anything new because I'm going home next weekend. (Da's coming home!) So we did nothing at work this weekend except watch movies all day and audition for an indy horror feature.

I've found a new favourite singer. Maybe all the love is because I just found him, but I seriously doubt it. Jonathan Coulton You can listen to all his songs online (which is awesome). They're all pretty good but I recommend The Town Crotch, Code Monkey, and Mandelbrot Set. The last is where the post title came from. Trust me, you'll love him ( Read more... )

I just read the best McKay/Sheppard story here. McKay is a painter and Sheppard is his King. It's really good.

A couple of days ago, I wrote a fanletter to Steve Troop. I gushed alot and then I asked permission to quote one of his strips next semester when I do my "dissertation" on my undergrad research. I expected a form "yes" or form "no." Most likely a "no;" you try to ask physicists to cite their studies and the second they find out you don't have a ( Read more... )

So LJ is being a mother bitch. My flist still isn't working and now I'm not getting comment notifications. *beats the crap out of LJ* It's really pissing me off.

My family went to Roanoke Island early Friday morning and got back late Saturday night. They had fun; I decided I HATE Elizabethan gardens and that taking somebody with allergies to one ( Read more... )

I have this blue t-shirt that says "Talk nerdy to me" on it. Remember this.

The "Boy" went home this weekend and when he came back he had my V-day gift. He was extremely excited and decided he *had* to give it to me *right now OMG!!!!!!one!* Look at his wonderful present here. Though I'm fairly certain it's obvious, it's a romance novel named Talk ( Read more... )

'Why?' you ask. We were talking on AIM (since he lives 2 and 1/2 hours away!) and he was trying to make me feel better about life in general. And his idea of making me try to feel better was, "I like you almost as much as WarHammer." *headdesk* I know he's a geek (he's a nuclear physics major and he had just finished with 'I like you more than my ( Read more... )

So I'm trying to fight my way through my flist and am failing miserably. So if I respond to something you wrote weeks ago, you know why. Also, while the 'net was dead, "The Boy" became "The Boyfriend." *squee* Yesterday, he told me that I'm the first girlfriend he ever had so I'm freaking out. It's really weird to realise that I'm his first ( Read more... )
