So yesterday I finally closed off Hench. Woot woot! Two more Tuesdays and it'll have served its purpose. And I accidentally wrote three pages of the sequel. I was sort of planning to hold off on that.
Today is raining and appalling, but tomorrow I'm going flea-marketing with the other Amanda, so who can be depressed in the face of that kind of fun?
Tonight: There's Supernatural in my DVD player and Leatherheads in the cheap theater. Exquisite.

2:25 pm - In My Foggy Head
|
One of the exhausting things about being me is that I am pretty much constantly distracted by the shininess of new ideas. This week ALONE I developed ideas for a magazine, a novel, and an extension to an existing website that I don't even use, not to mention the commercial potentials of "gecko tread" gloves, shoes, and knee pads. And I accidentally finished a fic that has been on my hard drive since 2004.
No point to this post, other than to sigh about it and wonder if anyone has any tricks on how to keep from woolgathering.

1:14 pm - Comics Crossovers
|
So tahmthelame and I were chatting over the weekend about who should be who in upcoming comic-book movies, and we pegged someone but then retracted them because they were already in another comic-book movie, and we didn't want the universes to contradict even though one was Marvel and one was DC. I don't even remember who it was.
Then today I was poking through Wikipedia's list of black superheroes and realized that Halle Berry has done comics twice, once as DC's Catwoman and once as Marvel's Storm. Then I remembered that James Marsden has also done double duty as Marvel's Cyclops and that pilot dork in DC's Superman Returns.
So now I don't know. Maybe actors should be allowed to do double duty if they keep it to two different publishers. Of course if they ever settle on a crossover, things could get awkward.
current mood:  random

9:46 am - Friendslist First Dibs
|
It's time for me to get out of the BPAL fandom, and that means shedding the bulk of my perfume-oil collection. Or rather, not treating it like a collection anymore.
The friendslist gets first dibs until Friday, when I'll start linking in the BPAL communities.
GC Imps are priced to move at $1.50 each with bulk deals available. Discount for buyers of multiple bottles. There's some interesting stuff in the LE imps that I've been hoarding.
Shipping: $2.50 flat rate to US or Canada, $5 flat rate to the UK
( Imps and Bottles )
Bonus Sniffies: Buy anything and choose a free sniffie of one of the desirable, I-love-'em-so-much scents listed below:
Honey Moon
Schwarzer Mond
The Ecstasy of Passion
Tamamo-No-Mae
Lump of Coal (only 2 available)
Gingerbread Poppet '05
13 '05 (white label)
Snake Charmer '05
Hearth '04 (only 2 available)
Swaps: I'm not interested in swaps EXCEPT for more Honey Moon, possibly Hony Mone, and BPAL postcards and Carnival Diabolique trading cards that I don't have yet.
Payment Method: I can accept either non-CC or CC Paypal; please note which you'll be using in your comment, and please add 50 cents for CC Paypal.
If you have any questions or want reviews or scent descriptions, just holler.

Supernatural apparently has a new episode going on tomorrow, which I--sadly--will not see because I am not cable-enabled. Woe. But I'm waiting on season two! And it has shipped! And and! That's all. Expect squeeing once it arrives.

10:24 am - Tuesday, Boring Tuesday
|
Last night I dreamed about a museum. My most common dreams are "architecture dreams" where I go around looking at buildings, and the two most common subsets are museums and hotels. I've probably spent as much time in hotels in my sleep as I have in real life. Someone's going to analyze that someday and decide I was one sick puppy, but I enjoy it, and see no cause for alarm.
In other news: a box of Junior Mints melted all over my favorite watch. How am I going to get it clean without destroying it?

3:04 pm - Regarding FCBD
|
|
It appears that I made out much, much better on Free Comic Book Day than most people. God bless my local comics store. :) Would it be worth my time to review the comics I got? I probably ended up with two dozen of them. If anyone's curious, I'd be willing to write a couple lines about each of them. Spreading the wealth, as it were. :)

So between Iron Man last night and Free Comic Book Day today, this has been a pretty rockin' weekend so far.
Iron Man, Non-Spoilery Review: It's funny, it's full of cool, and the two hours fly by. There are obvious logical flaws (and, interestingly, everyone I've talked to found a different one) but I want that flying suit so bad that I just don't care. The interesting thing about this movie will be the fallout: Iron Man never struck me as a top-of-the-pantheon character, so it'll be interesting to watch his profile rise in accordance with the fact that this is seriously the best superhero movie since Spidey 2. Note: Now there are spoilers in the comments.
Free Comic Book Day: Local comic book stores get to decide what they offer, and now I have a whole bag of proof that my local comic book store is owned and operated by win. They had three whole tables stacked with FCBD comics, and I've spent all afternoon reading them. There are some real winners this year, too. They were running a 25% off sale on trade paperbacks, so I picked up Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and the first volume of Fables just to thank them. Truly, one of the best fake holidays of the year.

I think we can all agree that free books are awesome, so everyone go and enter this drawing for swag from Julie Bowe to celebrate the paperback edition of her middle-grade friendship novel, My Last Best Friend. Cheers!

12:44 pm - Two Things
|
Two quick items and then the next post should be a round-up of the weekend, including stories about how my brother is better at Lego Star Wars than I am and a review of Batman: Gotham by Gaslight.
1. From the ever-hilarious mistful: "Real life is sometimes boring, rarely conclusive and boy, does the dialogue need work." See, that's exactly why I keep a LiveJournal. You can take your real life and add an immediate gloss. See also: I am much cleverer in comment threads than I am in chat.
2. I have word from quamicauzilot that if somebody doesn't resolve Whiskey Lake in the next couple of weeks, he's likely to jump in and do it himself. Ooh, burn. Not really, that's just a paraphrase by me. In any case! If you are interested in vacationing in a lakeside resort town in Maine where people have died terribly, this is the place you want to be. I can't guarantee that you will die a terrible death, but neither can I promise that you won't.
(I should also mention that you're free at any time to just ride off into the sunset and let Whiskey Lake handle its own boogiemen. If you don't solve anything and something else happens, I'll just post another article letting you know.)

9:21 am - BEWARE
|
I just got a spam with a spectacular subject line:
From: Byron Nguyen
To: Kenny George
Subject: Girls will hunt you in the streets!
(Text: Start training your soldier of love now!)
I like to think this was actually misdirected email from some kind of alternate dystopia where it's not euphemistic, but literal.
