Currently.
Sick
Doubly sick, in fact. I caught a stomach flu in Vietnam and have been rotten since Sunday, and then today I've just started coughing and sneezing. So count on me to have both a tropical bug and influenza at the same time.
Eating
Rice porridge, pork floss, and salted duck egg. Which is basically what I've been living on the last 5 days.
Wearing
Pyjamas.
Loving
My hot water bottle.
X-Men: First Class
Seen it three times already (not in the cinema); I both love it, and have problems with it (its treatment of female characters and POCs, the pacing, the Mystique/Beast subplot, Alex Summers in general, etc.). But the squee definitely outweighs the cringe overall. If you want more thinky-think,
marina links to some very interesting reviews. (My response to one of them is in the comments; and boy, what I would give to read a review of the themes of the film from a Daoist or Zen Buddhist perspective. ETA: I just thought of a book I have that is also related: Carry Tiger to Mountain: The Tao of Activism and Leadership.)
Or if you want fic, "Snakes and Ladders Are Banned In Here" is by far the best First Class-verse fic I've read so far.
