That's the good news. The bad news is that at 3 and 7 they are too little to watch the movies. Which is really a shame because Erik just loves Captain America and Iron Man. I did find the Superhero Squad Show which is geared towards kids, but I know he would love to see the movies. He was so thrilled to get to meet Captain America at Disneyland. ( Read more... )

Sherlock Series 3 - Holy sheep dip batman was that amazing. I so did not see the conclusion to the main storyline coming. The tag/set up for Series 4, while I didn't know the specifics, I obviously knew something had to happen there. And I love John more and more. That poor man has been through so much ( Read more... )

So I did catch up on Sherlock season 2. Amazing! And now I can't wait to see how season 3 shapes up. Of course I had hoped it would be on Amazon Prime, but no luck. Perhaps it's On Demand (haven't checked) otherwise might need to finally make a trip to the library (not sure I want to shell out $29 on iTunes when that's about what they charge for ( Read more... )

I knew that it was good, but having a great time watching it. The interplay between the characters is great. I definitely love poor Watson and how he seems to keep giving off the gay vibe. it was brilliant in The Great Game (1-3) how he had to deal with the brother hitting on him and of course everyone assuming that he and Sherlock are a couple and ( Read more... )

There are many things wrong with Americans, but this one just makes me shake my head. I drive Katie to school because we don't think she's really mature enough to ride the bus. That and the bus picks up at 7am, so we would have to be out of the house by 6:45 to walk her down to the bus stop, which is 30 minutes earlier than we can leave if I drive ( Read more... )

I now have a new favorite Marvel movie. J watched the kids today so I could go see the new Captain America movie. He saw it on travel this last time since he had time to kill in the evenings and didn't want to spend every evening with his family. So incredibly awesome. Some things I saw coming, some (like who the Winter Soldier was) I knew about ( Read more... )

So I started working in earnest on getting my one HP WIP that I had started posting and somewhat abandoned back to regular updates. Thankfully my wonderful beta was happy to pick up where we left off. Not sure what has caused the lack of fannish interest for the last 8 months or so, but there it was. I just think it's the general depression that ( Read more... )

The MIL sent a package to the kiddos and included a couple of Christian coloring books - clearly hoping the kids won't grow up heathens since J and I have more or less abandoned organized religion because of the hypocrisy ( Read more... )

It's been super busy here. Well, perhaps not super, but just one of those things where I feel like a drone just chugging along with Katie doing school and the little guy being a 3 year old ( Read more... )

The shutdown doesn't have too much of a direct effect on us. J still gets paid and I wasn't trying to use my veteran's tuition benefits. The Commissary is closed, but we're lucky enough that he's a senior officer and money isn't super tight. Some families of lower ranks are going to be hurting. While not everything is a deal at the Commissary (milk ( Read more... )
