I went to the movies in May! (And then I had feelings, about the movies.) Both of these ended up with a slightly meta aspect I was not anticipating. 1. Reaction Time (Iron Man 3) “So the Avengers are like the Muppets?” on dreamwidth on ao3 2. Safety Belt Challenge (Star Trek) “It is true […]
no tragic backstory, by twistedingenue Author Summary: “Darcy doesn’t have a tragic backstory. Kate thinks it’s about time that someone in Clint’s apartment doesn’t have one.” What’s not to love about this fic? It’s everything I ever wanted from a story the author describes as “a Clint/Darcy, Kate Bishop/Sass fic that happens the morning after.” […]
Phase One: Hike It was really only 0.4 miles from the starting point to the top of the hill, but it was VERY PRETTY. Note: Apparently the boss was not kidding yesterday when he said he was not going to bring any bug repellent because he was going to borrow it from someone else. That […]

I was planning to go see “Fast and Furious 6” (no clever name this time, just an acknowledgement that yup, there’s 6 of these now) on Thursday or Friday (my ‘weekend’ this week, thanks to some wonky holiday scheduling). But then I got kind of curious, combined with kind of nervous, and so I went […]
“Ain’t no such thing as a perfect day.” “If it was too perfect, I’d wonder what the hell was wrong.”
STAR TREK INTO WTF WAS THAT BUT I LIKED IT ANYWAY! Okay, so first things first — I can’t explain it at all, but there is something magical and amazing to me about sitting in a theater, hearing the opening music, and thinking, ‘I am at a Star Trek movie.’ (It’s like how some people […]
