Okay. So I did just read a "and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" joke in Twilight Watch. Okay then. Down to the start of the last paragraph (not the last full paragraph, just a couple of lines) on page 17, so that was fun. I kept getting distracted by the ways in which Joss Whedon isn't nearly as good of a feminist as he is often taken for. Not the least of which is, dude, Joss. I appreciate that you think you have a mission, but could you shut the fuck up for five minutes and let the actual women talk about the trials and tribulations of being women?

At least when Patrick Stewart stumps for women he's aware of the fact that people listen to him because he's an old white dude, and he points this out and that it's wrong.

I think it's a rule for the new year, no matter what profile we build up something has to come in and blow it out of the water. Usually something so goddamn unexpected that we're left gaping like fishes afterwards. I'm not quite not looking forward to this weekend, but I am eyeballing it severely. This past weekend was the weekend of Hate The Other. Also the weekend of adorable couples, which was considerable with the cognitive dissonance.

Oh! I also saw Thor: The Dark World this weekend. Also known as Loki 3: Oh LOKI. Not sure I have anything really new to add to the conversation, though I did figure out how to work it into the Darcy/Loki 'verse. Also Jane slapping people was hysterically funny and well deserved.

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow for a cleaning that I'd almost forgotten about. Goddammit.

Urrgh. And I spent most of the time today that I meant to spend writing, having head explodie and being unable to focus instead. On the one hand, I'm not that behind on where I want to be. On the other hand, fucking argh. German has not yet been done, I think I'm going to scrap the possibility of writing today and do some of that reading to clear my head.
