In honor of the various Femslash events that popped up this February, I figured I'd go with the theme for the pairings prompts. :D I picked two of my favorites.

Managed to finish my

smallfandomfest prompt early this morning (only 2 hours late...).

Signed up for the Fresh Femslash Salad Bar, figured I'd try my hand at it. If anyone has a particular femslash pairing they want to see (and you know I ship it or just ask, you never know - I haven't finished updating that list), feel free to request a pairing. I'm not quite sure what pairings I'll do, but that would be helpful to narrow it down.

Week 1 of the DCU Femslash February Comment Fest has started which is focused on drabble/short form, angst, and/or rarepair.

Wrote up a post at

supergirl_tv about current challenges/events happening, feel free to let me know if I missed any. I'm going to try do that monthly, but who knows.

Also did a "First Kiss" prompt at basically all my communities that I run.

Finished my Hunting Party icons for

tvmovie20in20 - shockingly early! I of course had to use Nick Wechsler's character Oliver for the "Space" prompt in honor of the first role I knew him from Kyle from Roswell. I used also a lot more textures than I normally do with this set so hopefully they turned out ok. XD Seriously if anyone starts watching the show and enjoys it, please let me know! It's a really small fandom so the more the merrier.

Man, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, or why I can't seem to dredge up the energy to come update this thing.

Life's been more or less pretty steady. Work, care for the home, spend time with partner and dog. We haven't really done anything interesting since our little two-day trip to Minneapolis.

We did, however, go with Blair's sister and brother-in-law to see Iron Lung today, which was exciting as a long-time fan of Markiplier. It was so much better than I expected, and we all enjoyed it. Proud of that guy. He's good people, and he worked so long, and so hard, for this.

I'm excited for Blair's upcoming birthday, which is on February 12th, and then of course for Valentine's Day, as it will be our first ever Valentine's Day spent together in person.

It's been cold and snowy. I still find snow flurries magical, and I'm acclimating to the frigid climate quite nicely, I think.

Current Mood: working

It's February, which means that it's Black History Month, and that means the return of the 2002 classic "Brown Sugar". I first saw this movie (or at least a sizeable portion of this movie) on Showtime- I was flipping stations and saw Taye Diggs and stopped long enough to be intrigued and follow it to the end.

The movie focuses on a music reporter, Syd Shaw, who covers the hip-hop scene and her best friend, Dre, a music producer. The two have been friends since they were kids and know every single thing about each other, much to the dismay of their romantic partners. What follows is a friends-to-lovers romance with the backdrop of the hip-hop scene and all of the classic roadblocks and misunderstandings that you'd expect.

The cast of this movie is phenomenal- both Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan excel as the leads, and Nicole-Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe as the unfortunate love interests as well as Queen Latifah and Mos Def in comedic roles provide fine support.

Two scenes stand out in my mind- both involving Nicole-Ari Parker's Reese. In the first, Reese and Syd meet up in a boxing class at the local gym and hash out all of their issues while throwing punches. And the second is the "Richard Lawson" scene (I'll save the spoilers, but if you search Richard Lawson Brown Sugar on YouTube, you'll find it). Those are just the first two and when I start thinking about the movie, different parts keep coming to me and if I recap them all, you might as well just have watched.

One thing that I didn't really care for is the addition of Ren and Ten, a hip-hop act, that basically denotes the corporatization of industry, and is a catalyst for Dre at a certain point in the film. I felt like they used them a bit much and the comic effect that they were supposed to have fell a bit flat. They had a purpose, but it just dragged on a little too much for my tastes.

If you're looking for a light, funny, romantic comedy, you may want to check it out this month before they stick it back into hibernation for another year.

So, there seems to be something odd going on with Dreamwidth right now -- I can't put account links for more than one community and some of my sentences are actually disappearing when I try, no matter if I use HTML or Rich Text options. Weird. So, no links.

I've been busy busy busy, mostly writing fills for Three-Sentence-Ficathon.

So, how do you go about participating in 3SF? I mostly fill and I find it hard to come up with prompts, although I try to do some. I just go browsing through the pages reading the prompts and wait for one to jump out at me. I usually get an idea right away, then I go and write it. If it doesn't grab me immediately, I usually just skip over it. If I see a rare fandom I'm familiar with, though, I like to try and write something for it, because I know what it's like to be desperate for fic in a non-existent fandom. 3SF is a great way to fulfill those wishes.

This one can be readers' choice of fandom even though I definitely had a specific ship in mind when I wrote it. 😉

Words: 129

Summary: They don’t notice the rain, only each other
Note: In one of those weird coincidences, as I read this prompt and started writing it, "It's Just the Rain" by Journey came on randomly, lending atmosphere and title (but not thematic inspiration).

Almost caught up with my posting of

M, Boycritter, and I went down to the nearest Hobbytown (about an hour away) for Bandai Builders Day yesterday. This Hobbytown just became the only Bandai Builders certified shop in the state, so I definitely wanted to support them and their events. (Hobbytowns are franchise shops and each individual one is locally owned.)

This event had a free 30 Minute Fantasy kit, unique to this event! We got there a smidge early, did our check-in (and skewed their demographics, ha!), and got our kits. It was a pretty simplified kit, so I think it only took about 15-20 minutes to build. We chatted with other folks who turned up and posed for some photos while working, lol. By the time we were done, other people were arriving and waiting for our seats. Yay for a good turnout! By the time we'd finished shopping, maybe 2/3 of their stock of the event kit was gone.

(I picked up a 30MF accessory set, HG Abyss, HG 0 Gundam ACD, and HG Murasame Kai as well. M got a ton of paint for his tanks - though he did like the event kit and might pick up some 30MF stuff. Boycritter got a RG RX-78-2 Gramps and HG Sazabi.)

From there we went up to the conveyor sushi place and ate ourselves broke. So tasty! I tried to be a little more adventurous and found a few things I really liked. Next time I want to try more. ^_^

Details aren't entirely available yet, but there's some sort of 30 Minute Label competition in March and I'm interested, but that's also not a lot of time to come up with something, get a kit, and build. So I guess we'll see. But then again, I'd really like to enter for the fun of entering. Hmm.
