Jupiter Ascending is even more amusing if you think of it as the Wachowski sibs' Bella/Jacob crack AU with the serial numbers filed off. (You see there's this *ordinary girl* who's actually *really special* and her love interest is a *buff and chivalrous werewolf who takes his shirt off* but a *rich creepy pasty immortal prettyboy* asks her to ( Read more... ) -

I met the greatest little kid at work in the nursery today. He was a very precocious five year old boy who wanted to tell us all about marine biology. -

Amateur reviews seem to indicate the Jupiter Ascending is the good kind of ridiculous, not the dull kind. (I never expected it to be good-good.) Now to find a friend or family member who also wants to see it, since I prefer to go to the movies with other people. -

Modcloth has such cute bathing suits, but I don't go swimming often enough to justify spending the money on one. They charge as much for a one-piece as they do for a whole dress. -

Mom and I have decided that Jean-Luc Picard (a Frenchman) and Benjamin Sisko (an African-American from New Orleans) both sound so Shakespearean because Starfleet cadets get elocution lessons. When you're giving orders verbally, being able to project strongly and articulate clearly is a must, and it's simpler for personnel (human and alien) whose ( Read more... ) -

Watched the "Agent Carter" pilot tonight. I liked it, but then, since I'm a feminist femme who likes historical fiction and superheroes, this show was pretty much pandering to me. (Peggy Carter kicks ass, battles sexism, and passes the Bechdel Test in fabulous midcentury clothes!) Peggy is a bit of a Strong Female Character Who Takes No Shit, ( Read more... ) -

Magical librarians are very important to me. They’re the one heroic occupation I actually have talent for. I’m no Action Girl, and not just because of lack of training. (I have the upper body strength of pre-serum Steve Rogers, the raw athleticism of Bella Swan, and the fighting spirit of the gentle opossum.) I’m not a tech savant, I have just ( Read more... )
