Bleh, my brain has been so soft and spongy of late. Silly brain, melting in the heat.

Saw the X-Files movie on Friday and loved it. I don't think it's very spoilery to tell you that I thought it was like really great fanfiction, the kind that always makes you say, after finishing the last word, "Man, that would make an awesome episode." I went in with absolutely zero expectations and came away with much squeeful happiness. MULDER&SCULLY FTW!

BTW, I love Vancouver, love it to itty bitty pieces. But that kind of goes without saying. ;-)

Saw Dark Knight in IMAX with the brothers last night. If you can go see it in IMAX, you really should. The city shots and the action scenes look incredible. The details just pop. Really, very cool looking. Still absolutely dig that movie.

Also, for those who remember my tiny little DK quibble, this story by minim_calibre helps make it all better. I love Bats so very, very much.

Went to the Detroit Institute of Art with all of the fam except the Da today. The DIA is a wonderful art musesum and it was a very nice trip. I always have a new favorite part and today's was the Rivera Court. A little cliche, I know, but how can you not love the statement that old Bolshevik was making to the industrial leaders of the world? No wonder Frida Kahlo was in love with that crazy bastard.

Writing has been fiendishly hard the past week, and today's surprise excursion didn't help matters. I'm sure you all will be happy to know, however, that the next chapter is off with beta. Progress is progress is progress, after all. And if I'm very good tonight and tomorrow, maybe I'll let myself write that little Dark Knight fic that popped into my head a week or so ago. I'm sure it will surprise absolutely none of you that it is primarily about female characters. Yeap, I'm nothing if not predictable.

*<3s you all*

HA! Had to share this quick car conversation that my brothers and I had this afternoon.

The Wrestler: (after discussing his trip to Ecuador) And everyone in the group wanted me to get a Facebook account so that they could keep up with me and I was all, "If I want to keep up with you I'll email you or call you. I don't want to get a Facebook just so I feel like I have to friend you if you friend me." They were okay people but they annoyed me a lot. If they want to send me pictures they can email them to me.

Me: Plus, you cut down on stalking that way.

The Big Lug: You two are the only people I know who don't have Facebook accounts. You're so weird.

Me: Well, you're the only person I know with one.

Big Lug: What kind of freaks do you hang out with?

Me: (In My Head: Oh, little brother, you have no idea.) Aloud, changing subject: Did you know that Faceboook was funded by the CIA?

I thought you all might enjoy that little exchange. And, yes, the Wrestler occasionally sounds like a crotchedy 60 year old rather than a spry 24. ;-)
