Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to do this? ‘Definitely not going to be racing to finish this New Year’s Eve’ — I’m sure I remember promising that. Dammit. Anyway, here it is, one final 2011 fic. look to the sky for love (look to the stars for light) Fandom: Avengers movie!verse, sort of Word […]
1. Jude Law: snappy dresser. Seriously, how did he manage to look good in *everything* they put on him? RDJ mostly looked like a bum, no matter what he was wearing. Even when he was dressed up! (No offense to Robert Downey Jr; bum is a good look for him.) 2. So they cut out […]
Back from the (movie) theater! Wow, I am still having trouble with the fact that it costs *eight dollars* to see a matinee. That is — wow. Anyway! It turns out that our local cineplex is just as loud and obnoxiously colored as it always has been, but I hadn’t been in a while, so […]
