random fannish stuff
You know, I've been around one fandom or another for a really, really long time, and I am totally on board with how we all view the same source from different angles and that's fine, really, it is. It's awesome. That being said, wow, there are people watching Agents of SHIELD who are coming at it from another planet and seemed to have missed vast swathes of what I thought I was seeing (aka, my blacklist groweth on tumblr.)
Of course, then I was skimming my weekly round of Disney World blogs and ran smack dab into the hissy fits being thrown over the Sunshine Tree Terrace swapping places with Aloha Isle and how it's all an internal conspiracy against WDW and anything that was actually Floridian in the parks, so hey, the AoS crazies are looking kind of low-key again.
Current debate in the HoB: Marvel marathon, yea or nay? (the geek in me says, "HELL TO THE YEAH," but the semi-responsible mother says, "SCHOOL. FINALS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ETC.") It is #2Son's birthday, so that is a consideration. (And there is swag. My office board is looking a little un-updated recently... See how my brain works?)
I'm not spending money on stuff right now, but if I was, I'd totally go for these Hawkeye/Black Widow leggings from welovefine.
How's everyone else doing?

God luck with the marathon, I would both love to do that and be intimidated by the commitment
I'm good, trying to get back to writing after a) time away and b) reading the most wonderful Bucky + Steve recovery fic. I've recced it over on my dw if you're interested :)
no subject
Good luck with the writing--I am trying to be more consistent with my own and it's hit-or-miss lately. I will check out your rec--there are so many Steve and Bucky fics that it can be overwhelming to wade through them all. Pointers are most appreciated!

I would LOVE to do that marathon. Alas, I'll be having a new knee on March 27 and I doubt I'll be able to sit in the same place for 29 hours wherever it is. Maybe by Christmas ...
no subject
As for the marathon, yes, fine, I guess a new knee takes precedence. ;)

And we'll probably be doing the pre-AoU marathon at home, over a couple of days via BluRay.

They're only doing b2b Avengers here and I think I've lucked out. The Marathon sounds amazing. And really really long. Guess it really is time to buckle down and see Steve II.

Have you not seen Winter Soldier? !!! I think it might be my favorite of the entire run. We'll have to see about the whole marathon -- it's in the middle of the week and at least one kid can't miss school, so I don't know if I can pull it off, but I did a 24-hour thing back in the 80s, so there is precedence!
I've been following along with the pictures of the new hub (after the last year of waaaaaalllllllls, I honestly am just glad to see them coming down) and finally managed to see old/new maps and get the changes sorted out in my head. Thank goodness they put the little bronze character statues back in the new areas--I'm sure there would have been mass hysteria if they'd gone away for good. Now we just have the very center part and the rose garden to go?

I vote nay. Speaking personally, I do not enjoy marathons (two movies is my max) so by the time Avengers 2 rolled out, I would want more than anything to just go home. (Same reason I'm going to try to get a 9 p.m Thursday showing instead of one of midnight. I want to be rested enough to FULLY ENJOY the movie).
no subject
And this is starting on a Wednesday, so I don't know if I want to kill the rest of the week for it. But maybe coming and going? Or maybe I'll just get all the DVDs and we can work through them in all of April.
no subject
For what movies?

That sounds way more fun to me.

Picture me doing this with my office-mate, who had been raised in an extremely conservative family, to the point of not ever seeing a movie until she was out of college. (It was her idea, even though her husband & I were sort of 'ehhhh, I don't know if you're going to like *these* movies'...)
no subject
She clearly wanted to jump in the deep end!

For the record, I actually *like* that Ward has reasons why he was with HYDRA that have everything to do with a loyalty that was warped by his past. I like that he's not on anybody's side now, except his own. I think Brett Dalton is playing the hell out of the character and has actually brought a lot of subtlety to what could have been an one-note character. I just don't blame Melinda May for beating the shit out of him when she had the chance.
