See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I took Matilda to her school's annual fundraising Fun Fest, meaning to stop in for a short while before bringing her back so she and Hec could see the Aardman pirate movie, but the facepainting booth looked so overloaded and hapless that I ended up spending the entire day painting face after face after face, until the paint applicating wands disintegrated and I was reduced to fingerpainting monkeys and dragons on kids' faces because there was nothing left but black, olive green and fingertips.

I feel so utterly, thoroughly fried. But the universe just this minute instantaneously rewarded me for the exhausting good-deed-doing, in the form of a call from Polter-Cow, who just cornered Greg Rucka before his Writers With Drinks event. Greg remembers me! Fondly! And P-C delivered verbatim the snark I asked him to pass along, which caused him to bark with laughter. In short: P-C, and long-lost college friends: both awesomecakes with awesomesauce on top.

Thanks for the update, David. I hate to admit that I hadn't been watching the scores today. I'm just happy they are over .500.

Yeah for good deed being rewarded, JZ. Man, I miss you guys.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am watching Thor, in preparation for my second Avengers viewing.

Thor pretty, especially shirtless, but it's really not very good, is it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I enjoyed Thor so much! But I think I saw it on a really hot day, and I really like going to the movies.

sara, that's so great.

Welllll... the special effects are really pretty, and the acting is good on Anthony Hopkins' and Tom Hiddleston's parts. But it didn't really wow me as that well put-together a story.

JZ, the box arrived today! Thank you so very much. I'm waiting until tomorrow to open it (and oh and ah) with Grace.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Right? And it took me two weeks and 3 DVDs to actually see the whole damn thing. I still haven't seen Avengers because I was trying to see all the other movies first.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought Thor was the best B-movie it could be. I liked it without reservation. Now, Captain America, OTOH... shudder.

Now that I've seen the whole thing, the second half was a lot better than the first.

Also, Thor pretty.

Because books.

I thought Thor was completely delightful. That'll definitely be a keeper for me.
