Yikes, my calendar says it's been 2 weeks since I posted? Clearly, the brain-wave powered posting mechanism has not yet been implemented.

Non-fandom Life in bullet points (fandom stuff in a later post, feel free to skip):

Poison ivy - Systemic, but not bad enough to bite the bullet and go for the crazy-making Zpack. ::itches::

Spring break - Here, but no travel. Fun things like cleaning out the corners of my bedroom and finding the tops of my dresser and cedar chest under all the clutter and crap and hauling around the hand-me-down couch and loveseat from my mother-in-law. Today I am tackling BabyBoy's room which is a frightening thing.

Spring in GA - The pollen count yesterday was >6000. No, that is not a typo. The pine pollen goes swooshing off the cars like the little cloud of dust and dirt that followed Pig Pen around in the old Peanuts comics. I don't even *have* allergies and it's killing me. It's supposed to storm today, which will hopefully clear the last of it out.

Thank you for all your movie suggestions in response to my earlier question. We are working our way through them--yesterday's matinee was Big Hero 6, which, good grief, I was not expecting to be all choked up over. I knew the assorted kids in my life had loved it (over New Years, I ended up buying 3? 4? Baymax souvenier drink thingies for the (now all taller than 6 feet) kids (mine + L's) because they all had loved the movie so much) but apparently they all felt it was important I go into this w/o knowing it was going to rip my heart out. I felt the only appropriate response was a re-watch of The Iron Giant so it was sort of a soggy day around here yesterday.

I have a baking spree planned for the weekend -- I haven't actually decided on the recipes, but the stack of cookbooks by my bed passed ridiculous several days ago so I feel like crazed baking is the only way to redeem myself.

...and that's really about it. Fannishness to follow in a bit...
