Holy shit, Marvel.

Thor is going to be a woman and SAM WILSON is going to be Captain America?

I may be growing optimistic here. SOMEONE STOP ME.

Satan's toaster makes good toast.

A Marvel Lego Game? I AM SO THERE.

Okay, wait.

Aml Ameen was in Red Tails, along with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrance Howard? Damn, I need to rent that movie.

I have been reading Jack/Easter Bunny fic. Don't judge me.

Also, I've been reading some incredible Castiel meta on tumblr, and it makes me a) want more fic that I can stand to read, and b) do a rewatch of the entire series. I need season 7 like burning.

I've had a pretty eventful week so far, I feel.

On Saturday, scheherezhad, dungeonmarm, Zarita, my dad and I all went to ComiCon-way, the first annual comicon for our little city, and it was pretty fun. We stayed for two hours or so, and we got to see Storm Troopers and two Deadpools dance Gangam-Style, so I figure our con experience was solid. I also saw a panel on Batman and Psychology, and Zarita bought me Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight, so that was cool. I didn't have any money (because I am super, super broke) but as I didn't see any Batwoman, Renee Montoya, or Violent Messiahs merchandise, I was okay with it.

Seriously, sometimes I look at my fannish obsessions and wonder why I'm so intensely attached to them, but I guess every fangirl wonders that.

After our con visit, we went to Layla's Diner for dinner, and it was really good. I'd like to go there again sometime.

Tuesday and Wednesday I worked. It's so difficult to be in the work mindset again, because I really, really enjoyed having nothing to do. However, after working customer service on the phone for so long, it's nice to see people's faces again. People really are nicer face to face.

Yesterday, dungeonmarm had a day off, so we went to the comic book store and had breakfast at Stoby's before I went to work, and then after he picked me up again, and we went to the theater to see the encore showing of the Met's Otello. Verdi's music was wonderful, but the libretto was awful. Otello's singer was basically in blackface (D:) and while his voice was spectacular, his acting...really left something to be desired. (double D:)

The Tempest is playing on November 28th, so that might be fun to see. It's in English, though, so I'll be very sad if they don't give us subtitles, because I can barely hear as it is.

Today, I have been lazy, because shark week has started, and I have to go to work tomorrow. On the other hand, I have the weekend free, so yay?

As for NaNo...ha. I am so full of fail, I don't even.

I've been super boring over the last couple of months, but things have actually been happening recently?

Anyway, I currently have a temp position at TJ Maxx, which is delightful because retail during the holidays is never delightful. And I'll admit I'm a little nervous over the fact that apparently they aren't going to provide us any real training until our first shift—I think I'll be okay, but after having a job where they actually provide training before you jump into work, it left me feeling a little unsettled. Orientation was on Thursday and I have a namebadge and a store discount and everything.

Yesterday, Dad and I had lunch and went to see Silent Hill: Revelation. I enjoyed myself, actually, although I think it was a bad movie. dungeonmarm wanted to go to a haunted house after he got off work, so once we stopped being lazy, the two of us and evanjeline went to a local one, where we chatted for fifteen minutes or so while we waited in line, discovered that evanjeline had never been to a haunted house at all, and then got paired with another group of three before we headed in.

It was fun, if nothing spectacular to write home about. I have apparently lost my ability to be scared by haunted houses, but the two girls in the other half of our party made up for that, because they were either really terrified or having a lot of fun pretending they were scared. After that, we had a late dinner at IHOP, and then went to my place, where dungeonmarm complained about being too tired to drive, and I was too tired to care.

We have plans today to make it up to Little Rock for a 9:00pm showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (participation kits included. :DDD) so that should be fun.

OMG RENEE MONTOYA IS IN THE FOURTH ROUND.

I would do a celebratory picspam, but, you know, DC isn't using her, so there aren't any new pictures. -.-

All the same, vote Renee Montoya today!

So, I watched OUaT S02E02 yesterday (also, look at that format! I pirate way too freaking much.) I've been patiently waiting for lady_krysis to watch it so I can squee, but then I realized there was a whole INTERNET out here!

( Once Upon a Time was on Sunday!!! )

This week had a fantastic episode, in my opinion. And I do not know when I became such a Blaine fan. Wow. Also, I LOVED ALL THE MUSIC THIS WEEK! \o/
