•I got new comics :D Winter Soldier: Winter Kills and my trade paperback of New X-Men: Childhood's End vol. 1 are now in my possession and I love them. Ugh I seriously want more of the Academy X/New X-Men arc, but all the other trades inexplicably cost a freaking fortune. Sadface. (Anyone know an inexpensive source?) Also I got the first two tpb of Ultimates out from the library and... uh. Don't think I'll be reading the rest, because they are grim and violent and everyone is a dick in that universe. Not a fan.
•US figure skating nationals were this weekend! SPOILER ALERT: Jeremy Abbott and Davis & White were awesome, and handed everyone their asses. Check out Abbott's
free skate complete with flawless quad and his jazzy, sassy
short program. I was also very pleased to see some of our ladies not suck! The current crop of US women has been really not up to par recently.
•I have been stalled on my writing lately. I suppose since most of my half-finished gdocs are currently self-indulgent futurefic in the Stark twins 'verse it doesn't really matter, but it's frustrating.
•Who else is watching White Collar? Was the last episode not a total case of White Collar meets Gossip Girl? I'm really not sure how I felt about that– though I know I felt good about Matt Bomer's glasses. Mrow.
•I started a tumblr for superheroes doing normal people stuff, called
Superheroes Hanging Out. The Avengers play a lot of baseball, you guys. Anyway, if that's relevant to your interests you should check it out/follow/submit things.
•I know I'm late, but I finally got around to watching X-Men: First Class over the weekend. Wow. So heterosexual. It was good, though immediately after I felt compelled to rewatch X2 for real Magneto. Sorry Fassy, but you just aren't Sir Ian. It's nothing to be ashamed of. (I also want to rewatch X3 now, which is a bit more shameful but dammit I love Beast in that one). Was not impressed with the casting on Emma Frost, who should be much more awesome and witty. Did deeply enjoy the training montage because I'm a sucker for that shit.
