{ reading and movies and stuff }

1) reading: I've caught up on a lot of fanfic reading lately, particularly in that week and a half that I was off work, to the point where I now have nothing bookmarked in my 'to read' folder. This is not good.

2) paper legends: All seems to be going okay and next week the serious business of writer/artist matching begins with the big check-in and the submission of summaries. So a busy few weeks ahead for me culminating in (I hope!) lots of writers and artist matched with each other, and a day off from work for me (May 21st) to sleep after what will be a hectic weekend of matching (May 19th-20th).

3) timetable of doom: I'm having to do regular ToD's as so many people leaving lately. I'm currently on my third this year already, and I have another to write towards the end of May that'll mean big changes. So basically the first two weeks of May will be dominated by Paper Legends for me, and the last two weeks full of ToD work and me going slowly but surely crazy. Excellent.

4) ankle: Saw my GP this week and she says my ankle is badly sprained (oh really?) and that it may take a few weeks for all the pain/swelling to go away. It's annoying, and some days it hurts more than others, so am just trying to practice patience now.

5) movies: Went with Peter to see Battleship last Saturday and I LOVED IT! It's ridiculous and cheesy and pretty unbelievable, yes. But I went in expecting something highly improbable but great fun, and I wanted to see something highly improbable but great fun, and that's exactly what I got! Fantastically cheesy dialogue, unlikely scenarios, slow-mo sequences to imply heroism = wonderful afternoon at the movies! Here is what doubleholmes had to say about the movie (and where he complains a bit about me too!)

This weekend me, Peter and our brother Matt are going to see Avengers; pretty excited for this, though perhaps not as excited as Peter! Watched Thor for the first time this week, as it was the only one of the Avenger-related movies I'd not yet seen, and that was highly entertaining (in a similar way to Battleship) and I'm very much looking forward to seeing more of Thor and Loki!

(You'll have to excuse my childlike squee over Battleship. I'm trying to make myself post more regularly (because honestly, I miss you guys and I love interacting with you) and I don't want to be burdening you all with crappy RL stuff, so am focusing on the postive and/or silly things instead.)


Hope you're all okay ♥
