random fannish stuff

[topaz119]

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?

I did something like it once a long time ago, and I think the key was to get up and move around (and go home during the boring movies and come back for the fun ones) but I was younger then and had less sense.

For what movies?

Or maybe I'll just get all the DVDs and we can work through them in all of April.

That sounds way more fun to me.

oh, it was back in the 80s and there was lots of Eddie Murphy (a couple of the Beverly Hills Cop movies and 48 Hours) and the first of the Trek movies and a Friday the Thirteenth/Halloween or two.

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'...)

She clearly wanted to jump in the deep end!
