The school observed the moment of silence the other day for the victims of the Arizona shooting; I am not in a brainspace where I can be coherent about super heavy things, and Jon Stewart said pretty much everything I have been thinking anyway, so. I will leave it at that and move on to somewhat more shallow things.

Actually, I will segue with a middling thing: I think I got the closest I have ever come to an actualfax panic attack in my life, and it was over having my arm trapped inside the body of my sweatshirt and not being able to get it back through the sleeve. /o\ I mean, I knew I was pretty claustrophobic, and I am really wiggy about restraints - if I am ever handcuffed, I will probably flip my lid completely - but, wow, brain. That was SPECIAL. D:

And now, the shallows. My mother was deeply intrigued by the preview commercials for The Cape, so we all sat down together to watch the pilot. Wow, is that ever two hours I am never going to get back. )

I can handle a cracky plot for the sake of characters I like, but they crammed so much stuff in there that there was barely any room for anybody to display some personality. I mean, here's hoping it was just an attack of pilotitis, and now that they're done explaining how everybody got where they are, they'll take the time to actually tell a story; but I'm not holding my breath. :/ Anyway, what all this boils down to is that I have not in any way started writing a fic where Donna is The Cape instead. Nope nope. That would be ridiculous. :D

Also, saw Tangled, which I basically adored. I mean, of course I have a couple of complaints, I'm me; but overall, I liked it WAY more than I expected to. Spoilery. ) It wasn't, like, Toy Story 3 or WALL-E or anything, but it was sweet and engaging and I LOVE RAPUNZEL, SHE IS AWESOME. Now I want post-movie fic of her learning how to run her kingdom. :D

The next chapter of ItO is on track for Sunday, and I am trying to think of things I could do for [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon, though, knowing me, I will need to start early because they'll all be 20k words long. Oh, and: I have a meeting with the school headmaster tomorrow at noon, at which he just might maybe offer to make me full-time. **crosses fingers**

Yay rain!

I appreciate it. Really, I do. Even if it was coming down hard enough to wake me up early this morning. I will forgive you almost anything, outdoors, if it can always be fifty degrees or cooler when I wake up in the morning.

Sadly, I suspect it is not to be, since the forecast says it'll be eighty-five (eighty-five! Kill me now!) tomorrow. *ded* And I have gym, too. DNW!

But I appreciate the effort, outdoors. It's the thought that counts.

Let's see. Can I think of anything else to blather about before I start doing actual work? Oh - well, yesterday, I saw Disney's Robin Hood for the first time ... )

... This is turning into some kind of bizarro meta review thing for a really old Disney movie that very few people probably care about, which wasn't really my intention. I was just trying to get out of doing work for a little bit! Suffice it to say that it wasn't bad; having seen it, I feel a lot of the kind of nostalgic affection for it that I do for 101 Dalmatians, or The Jungle Book, simply due to the style and the sort of innocent, old-fashioned morality it expresses. But if I had the choice between it (or either of those other movies) and, say, Beauty and the Beast? ... Yeah. I know which one I'm gonna watch.
