In an effort to improve my skills at writing a complete, novel length story, I wrote an Avengers movie-verse fanfic featuring lots of action scenes and a bit of Clint/Natasha romance. It was EPIC! Or at least it felt like it was, because my brain still hurts from all the creative stimulation. I'm hoping that with a little bit of polishing and a ( Read more... )

My thanks to lexzilla and latech for the birthday wishes today! I got some work done, had dinner out with my mother, and feel ready to crash out now.  I'm such a partier!

I pretty much mainlined seasons 1 & 2 of Survivors on Netflix the past week and I have to say, I'm seriously disappointed that it doesn't look like there'll be a S3 because Holy Cow! That was awesome!

It was what I wish The Walking Dead had been and if Survivors had included zombies in the tale? Total win all the way. In my mind's eye, the zombies ( Read more... )

I adore this man so much! Check out the photos at the link. How sweet is the little cupcake with the single birthday candle? Makes me want to write more Keanu/Baked Goods OTP stories like back in the day with his character in Speed and the muffin.
