Ack, I apologize to everyone who hasn't gotten comments or responses in awhile-- vacation and Impending School and the occasional computer issue do hinder one's ability to communicate with the online world, apparently. ;-; I'm catching up! But meanwhile, a few updates.
Last weekend, my family went and visited
Stratford, followed by a three-day adventure in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Which was-- interesting. Okay, I've been going to Frankenmuth every year for the past four years, but, I mean, it's still wildly disconcerting to see Christmas lights in the middle of summer. It's like being in Florida in December or something.
( Stratford first. )Frankenmuth was also incredible. We spent a
ridiculous amount of money on clothes and fudge and ridiculous little trinkets (I bought a baby seal plushie!). Highlights include going to Old Navy and buying ten Marvel t-shirts, including Captain America and Iron Man, Sara and I
wearing said t-shirts, and subsequently hearing
Battlefield on the radio and being physically unable to stop ourselves from having a singalong despite standing in the middle of the mall. (WHY DOES LOVE ALWAYS FEEL LIKE A BATTLEFIIIIELD... it is so them, ok, don't deny it. ;-;)
I've been a little behind on comic-buying lately, but as of yesterday I am officially caught up. In re: Batgirl #1--
( I will not get my hopes up, because DC does not have the best track record with playing nice, but, I mean, GLEE. )Other than that-- Dark Wolverine #77 was a blast, and I'm pretty sure the sexual tension between Lester and Daken is
not just subtext anymore, and is very rapidly becoming
actual text, many thanks to Daken and his very eloquent way of expressing his feelings.
Methinks arrows are not the only thing Lester wants to be impaling him with? Mac is such a dweeb, though, and nevertheless I find myself wanting to smother him in hugs, WHAT IS MY PROBLEM. Gotham City Sirens #3 was a riot, but I am finding myself missing the presence of Firefly in Streets of Gotham, even if he's only been gone for one issue. (Sara is not so impresed with GCS at the moment-- we are, after all, paying to see what will inevitably result in Harley and Ivy seducing Selina for a threesome, and not freaking
Tommy Elliot and whatever it is he's doing nowadays, but The-Man-Formerly-Known-As-Riddler will suffice for now.)
Today, as per recommendation of
enemyfrigate, I made key lime pie (here have a
recipe). It turned out
fabulously, and I am actually rather impressed with it. We will be eating it for dessert. :3
But
yeah. If any of you have any updates for me that you don't want me to accidentially miss while scrolling through my flist, please do not hesitate to drop a line, because I totes miss you guys. ;-; Hope you're all doing good.
and ps, am I the only one who kind of wants glambert to do a cover of 'listen to your heart', or is that just me?
