Lizardbeth's Tale

well, tangentially, not directly. it's a theme!

- I have proof that if your fic gets linked on an LJ/blog with several thousand readers, you will, in fact, suddenly get more hits than you know what to do with. *blinks* Sudden resurgence of serial killer fanfic for the win!

- They also released the first photo of Anne Hathaway's Catwoman for The Dark Knight Rises, which was cleverly selected to be as unrevealing as possible. lol. (set pics also "leaked" today show the suit better) Actually, the pics of Marion Cotillard from last week were way more revealing, I thought.

( the pictures )

- OH, and just because two tidbits seem too short: Akinator came up with Patrick Bateman on the first try, based on badness, wealthy, office work, and sort of a comedy. It didn't even need to link novel or killing humans in there. heh.

Drugged up on migraine meds, I am nonetheless a thousand words into a Terminator/Batman crossover/mash-up fic. oh Christian, when did you cross the line into a full blown crush forcing me to write you cracky crossovers?.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?

However, it is great fun so far -- lots of Kate and Post-Apocalyptic America and fighting bad robots (for yes, I AM connecting Dark Knight to Terminator Salvation. Because I have seen the Salvation trailer too many times. And also, I am crazy. *g* )

Speaking of stories, I was a bit worried that the Yuletide treat ficlet I wrote in ten minutes was going to be more popular than the fic I actually WORKED on. How depressing would that be, hm? Luckily it appears that more people are finding the main story now. So phew, crisis of neuroses averted!

Because one pic isn't enough - and why post pics of trees or butterflies or whatever when I could be posting pics of my imaginary boyfriends?

( yo, you think there might be photos under here? yeah, you'd be right )

I may add to this as the day and night goes on... and on... and on...
Next random person to ask if I voted, I'm going to tell them that felons can't vote, thankyouverymuch, and fuck with their heads.

Watching TSSC: "What He Beheld" again. Damn, this episode is awesome. We were just flicking through - I'd forgotten it was on - and we had to watch it all the way through, again. I'm buying the dvds tomorrow - *grabby hands*

Hubby and I got the parents to watch Rugrat while we went to see Dark Knight in IMAX. We figured the movie's been out, what, six weeks now, so it wouldn't be hard to get tickets. However, the only seats left were the first two rows. And the first two rows of an IMAX show SUCK (much worse than the first two rows of an ordinary movie theater because the screen is so tall above your head). So no IMAX Batman for me this week either. Bummer. Man, I want to see that - the first twenty minutes (including the first main action sequence) were shot with IMAX cameras specifically and it's supposed to be amazing.

I have so many stories that are THIS CLOSE. And I've worked on NONE of them the past few weeks of Olympics mania/rugrat vacation. *sigh* One more week. and then SCHOOL STARTS YAYAYAYAYAY!

okay, so it's only three days and a really shortened schedule - that's not the point!

(my sympathies to the teachers on my flist - but let me repeat for the parents - YAAYAYAYAYAY!)
