Remember that tomorrow is More Joy Day!
I'm so glad to be in decent shape for my pair of deadlines tomorrow (if not as on top of things as I wish I were); US politics continue to have me in a general state of distress and anxiety, and I imagine tomorrow's going to be hellish in terms of focus, given everything ( Read more... )

--New X-Files trailer!

--Ginny and I, in a shocking development, went to see a movie tonight in a semi-timely fashion--not Star Wars*, which we aim to see sometime next week, but Mockingjay Part 2. (Hey, I said semi-timely, and given Casual Job and all, I think we're doing well to have managed it while it was still in theatres at all...) She and ( Read more... )

Thank you to everyone who left happy comments about the kittens' birthday! *^^* I really appreciate the collective willingness to be so delighted about them with me. Nine months, and I'm still just overwhelmed by joy at having them ( Read more... )

Of the things I meant to do this weekend (which is just ending today, because

scruloose, bosonator, and I rewatched The Matrix the other night. I feel so bad for the movie--it really was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed revisiting it (and boggling at the reminder that it came out over ten years ago), but the knowledge of how much I disliked the sequels diminished it somewhat.

Note the first: when I see Gina Torres (Zoe on Firefly) act, it doesn't ( Read more... )

I'm not a huge fan of Watchmen (it had already done its ground-breaking by the time I got into domestic comics, so I only read it for the first time a couple of months ago when I was figuring I'd be seeing the movie and ought to read the source material first), so I haven't been paying much attention to the upcoming movie. I mean, I heard about the ( Read more... )

For anyone who doesn't know already (haven't seen it mentioned around the f-list), the original Furuba.com forums are back up and running, and they already seem to be fairly active again.

Just got home from seeing V For Vendetta, which was pretty good; I haven't read the source material, and have heard conflicting things about how faithful it is ( Read more... )

I've always been a geek of some flavor, for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, it was X-Men comics; that phase lasted for about ten years, give or take, before I got sick of Marvel's marketing strategy ("wanna read the WHOLE STORY? You have to buy ALL TEN of the series that intersect!") and bailed. But I still have a soft spot for it-- ( Read more... )
