Best Buy is having a sale this week. "Batman Begins" and "The Corpse Bride" are both marked down to $7.50, and a few others as well. Yay, I have new DVD's to watch!
Justslept through watched the news. George Stephanopoulous still looks like a dark-haired Ken doll. I think he's made a pact with the devil to have eternal youth.

pataka02 has her second fic(let) done. It's here and it's Kara/Leoben, post-Maelstrom. That brings me to my next link. Generally speaking I don't worry about the ideas behind the stories I've written. This describes how I feel. I love my ideas, even if no one else does, and sometimes I have no choice about them. Once Cally decided she was a fairy-tale princess I couldn't persuade her otherwise, for example. Instead I worry about how I write. I feel like I'm very utilitarian. That isn't always bad, but sometimes I wish I could write with more poetry. I had a point here--oh yeah, that I love pataka02's writing style. As "beta-reader" of her two stories so far mostly I just get to say "Stop worrying so much," and "Trust your instincts" rather than trying to fix choppy sentences and eliminate word repetition (two problems I have far too often).
Third link: speaking of Kara/Leoben, the massive Kara/Leoben fic round-up is here on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
trial_by_water, thanks to lunar47. I've read most of them. (A few I haven't read 'cause I try to stay away from porn of either variety.) If you know of any that were missed, go put them in the comments.
Currently eating an omelet, wishing I had fresh tomatoes to put on it. I never used to buy tomatoes at the grocery store, but a few of those vine-ripened cherry tomatoes that are ridiculously overpriced do, in fact, taste like tomatoes. Sadly I don't have any right now.
Also just turned on tv to catch this line on "Ugly Betty": dorkus interruptus. Hee!
eta: Brilliant Spider-Man 3 parody here.
