As a reminder, "we are so screwed" is generally my apocalyptic weather tag.
First things first: everyone in the Midwestern/Mid-Atlantic U.S. who experienced that storm last night, damn. I hope you're okay. I'm at my parents' place in Columbus, and it was a doozy, though thankfully we've got power. It did flicker and go out for short periods last night. I've seen very few storms in my life like that, though: 80 mph winds ( Read more... ) -
A somewhat expanded take; or, AVENGLE!
Getting up this morning was interesting! I have had some Jamba Juice and oatmeal, though, and I think I can make it through this workday, for the most part. So, more thoughts on The Avengers!

Spoiler-hinting quote redacted.
I just want to document this. It's 4 AM. On a school night. When was the last time I posted at this hour on this kind of day?
So, The Avengers. That happened. Dang. Uh. I think I have to see it again just to sort of... be able to process it all. I have thoughts and feelings, but I also have less than three hours before I wake up for work. ( Read more... ) -
I like you. Be careful.
I just got back from The Hunger Games. I'm a little wrung out still, so I'm sitting here mainlining ginger snaps and maybe when those run out I'll go for the bag of Reese's Pieces that I bought but didn't open. Ohmygosh, where to even begin?
( Spoiler: I loved it. ) -
In conclusion: I'm a little punchy and enthusiastic right now.
This weekend was a good one for movie-watching. There was Inkheart (Helen Mirren! ON A UNICORN), and Hanna (I wanted to like it a lot more than I ultimately did), and finally, last night, Mansfield Park, the gorgeous 1999 version where you basically recognize half the cast and love all of them wholeheartedly. (Hugh Bonneville, not dignified at ALL ( Read more... ) -
Wool skirt, victory rolls... cold shower. Fans.
No letter yet, internets! Mr. Hiddleston, tomorrow is two weeks, and you will officially be on notice after that.
So, Captain America! I looked like this! More pictures with various other hotass fannish folks to come, but as for the movie: it was fun! IT HAD BUCK COMPTON IN IT. There were a loooooot of Thor references, including ( mildest of mild spoilers! ) -
Goddammit.
I probably have thoughts about Deathly Hallows, Part 2. But I couldn't describe anything to you right now other than white-hot, blinding anger, because the dude who sat next to me- Stank of cigarettes
- Ate nachos loudly FOR LIKE AN HOUR AND A HALF
- Kept gesticulating and BLOCKING MY VIEW, yes, he was sitting next to me
- TALKING. AT A LOUD VOLUME. THE ( Read more... )

A caper through time and space!
I had a string of merry adventures today! Today and tomorrow work is closed, so I have this extra weekend and I'm loving it. It started off with my intention to head over to the most excellent coffee shop near my apartment to work on some fiction. This place is cash only, so I went to the ATM... and discovered I'd left my card in the bill at the ( Read more... ) -

Here are my thoughts on X-Men: First Class.
We have six weeks until Captain America makes a go at my heart and soul. Until then, Loki, I'm still all yours.
Seriously, though, FUCKING FASSBENDER. I don't think it's a spoiler to say I enjoyed pretty much every moment he was onscreen. Also, Magneto and Xavier, most married or MOST MARRIED OF ALL? ( A GREAT LINE )
