A question for the MCU detail-oriented...
...or possibly Washington DC residents. In Cap 2, Steve goes to the Smithsonian to his own exhibit--the hallway and escalator kind of looked like Air & Space to me, but the topic makes more sense at the Museum of American History. Anybody know which museum building it was for sure, or can point me at appropriate screencaps somewhere or something ( Read more... ) -
The Ten Movies you kind of need to get to get me
There are a lot of memes I obviously skip, but story is so important to who I am and how I see the world, it's impossible to ignore the '10 movies that shaped who you are now' thing that's going around. And because I'm me, I'm going to add books, too. ;) It was super hard not to write up the reasonings behind them all, but if you're curious do ( Read more... ) -
Where's my flak jacket?
Right, so, it's May. And I was excited for April because March is so long and was stressful and dreary except for the one week I was in Florida, but April was also stressful and dreary and exciting and weird and exhausting, and if May is the same I'm going to spend all of June with a blanket over my head. Good things happened in April - I ( Read more... ) -
Finally saw Winter Soldier

Argh Poetry Brain
A generous friend/coworker has offered to nominate me for a small writing fellowship, application due soonish, which if received, would allow me to do awesome things like travel to Wales for a research and writing vacation, for instance.
This is, of course, splendiferous and exciting and unlikely, but inspiring anyway.
Problem being, she thinks, ( Read more... ) -
Month of Letters, Submissions, and School Vacation Week
So February was not a quiet month! Several of you heard all about it already, because I had your RL addresses and you got letters from me during the Month of Letters Challenge (a piece of mail for every day the post runs). I also ran a very busy week of programming at the museum during school vacation week (on just the Monday holiday we had 2,300 ( Read more... ) -
Ow
So, snow here in New England again, which I usually love, and can be relatively excited about because The Eagle Scout is taking me on a lovely cross country skiing trip this weekend as a belated birthday present (fingers crossed we actually make it north this week!). However, in the cold and windy, slippery trek back to my apartment, with fresh ( Read more... ) -
Thor 2 reactions, etc.
Non-spoilery stuff first:
1) I've been tracking my creative output in the spirit of Nanowrimo this year, putting all my writing efforts, original and fan, into the mix, just to see if I can get in the habit of a) seriously writing every day and b) forcing myself to finish stuff. I've been doing really well staying on target, but today my brain ( Read more... ) -
