I stay up late, puttering oddly, with the promise of a wee bit of a lie-in.

Yeah, no. And I can't even blame the sun, there's enough clouds so my room is not all lit up (east-facing windows.

That isn't coffee ground dust on my hands, those are bruises. Rubbing at them only makes them worse....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Zenkitty, that sounds delightful.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Okay, I did a quick skip and jump, and finally caught one scene with obvious white eyeliner. My question is: why would they do this? White line on a white eyeball does not make the eyes pop, it looks like a whitish line. It was the scene before Steve goes off to investigate on his own. It really was badly done. I have a bad feeling that this cannot be unseen.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Aha, I have found the solution to the neighbor's dog downstairs when he gets a little too enthusiastic about barking at every noise. Fido, meet alpha wolf making confrontational howl!

Our wings are not tired

I just played that in my office and both dogs came in from outside to investigate.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's a concession stand (those hamburgers were GOOD) and a big playground for the kids, and security, and it was PACKED and everyone was considerate and it was fun. And I may have made a friend.

Fun! You were rewarded for getting out of the house too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But, most places aren't dense markets, so they are a great idea.

I've never gotten one to work anywhere. City, highway, dirt road in the middle of nowhere - IME they need constant fiddling regardless.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Unlike the white eyeliner in Avengers and IM3. (To be fair, Chris Evans had it in Avengers, too.

Heh. But it's such a good cosmetic trick.

Sure, I do it all the time on the inner corner of my eyes. But I'm not in extreme closeup on a big screen. (Plus, I still think it was heavy-handed. If you know your actors' faces are going to be in extreme close-up, back off the whiteliner.)

When it's done properly it really does brighten up the eye area. It is a godsend when you're tired, because it fakes a (more) wide-awake look.

Hubby is very pleased with his latest pun and asked me to share. I love the man and am indulging.

He's watching some nature special, and he came back to my office with a big grin. "How is a polar bear attack like baby food?"

I sighed. "How."

"Well, a polar bear growls, so that's Grr. And he's in a cold place, so--"

I groaned. "And that's Brr."

He cackled delightedly. "Made you groan!" And went off.

And, in an unnecessary addendum, he wants it pointed out that he is on a lot of drugs.
