Title: Getting the Job Done
Fandom: Batman Begins/The Dark Knight
Rating: PG-13
Summary: There are still reasons to fight.

Author's Note: Right after I saw The Dark Knight the first line of this fic popped into my head. I've been waiting to write it ever since. This is kind of on-the-fly and it's weirdly in second person but it works for me. Sometimes you wonder why anyone in his/her/its right mind would ever stay around Gotham, especially since horrible things won't stop happening. Hopefully this helps answer that question, at least in this particular case.

And I guess this fic could be sub-titled 'Law School is Good for Something After All.' ;-)

ETA: This is also my attempt to show that Rachel Dawes was more than just a Woman in a Refrigerator, no matter what Chris Nolan might lead you to believe.

Christmas came and went and was joyful and happy and overwhelming, same as always. I got some pretty exciting loot and had the joy of picking out some great gifts for the rest of the fam. Spent most on the Da but seeing as Band of Brothers also works as a gift for myself I don't regret a penny of it.

I got the Collector's Edition of Batman Begins that comes with a nifty graphic novel. As we were watching the movie last night I had a neat thought. ( Read more... )

Because Christmas was on a Sunday we had to wake up at the crack of dawn if we wanted to open presents before church. It was kind of neat, reminded me of the old days when my brothers and I wouldn't be able to sleep all night because we were so excited. It was especially poignant to have both of my brothers at home. This was the first time in 5 years that we've been a family for the holidays.

Got out and saw King Kong the Friday before Christmas. ( Read more... )

The New Year is nearly upon us. I wonder what 2006 will hold for us all.

The weather's been crazy this weekend. There was a really, really big storm that blew through here yesterday morning. Cut off my power, had me all freaked out because I was half awake and it was thundering and there was lightening and the trees were blowing around in the wind. I woke up enough to close my windows but not enough to notice that the electricity had gone out. I slept through church, it was unfortunate.

Then it got hot, hot, hot and it looks to be staying that way for a while. There goes my electric bill, spiking again. Grrrrr. Don't even have camping to look forward to this weekend because the Da had a prior commitment he had conveniently forgotten about. It's only a week delay but, still, I was looking forward to some time off.

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Moan, moan, moan, I know. I'm pathetic. =D The Big Lug thinks we should use our joint movie gift card to go see either Wedding Crashers or The Island. I informed him that I'm anti-Michael Bay movies. He informed me that The Island was filmed in Detroit, a fact I had conveniently relegated to the scrap yard portion of my brain. Considering how much random info I have packed in there it takes a special kind of info to get shoved into the scrap yard. Detroit + Sean Bean + Djimon Honsou + Steve Buscemi + Ewan MacGregor = I might have to see The Island. However Scarlett Johanson + Michael Bay = I'm extremely trepidatious. But, dude, Detroit!

I'm kind of in love with Entourage. Last night they had Dale Dye teaching Vince how to scuba dive. Next week the gang is going to ComiCon. Be still my geeky l'il fangirl heart.

I'm also really, really, a lot in love with Justice League and the season finale they aired on Saturday night. I don't have words enough to express my love. It was All Batman, All the Time and I was in heaven.

Finally, let us meme. There's that top 5 list thing going around so ask me to rank anything and I will attempt to do so. Have at it.

I have seen Batman Begins and it was glorious! I loved everything about it, I even loved Katie Holmes' character! This is how much I love and adore this movie! I saw it on Friday and then I saw it again on Saturday and either tonight or tomorrow night I'm going to see it in IMAX. If I had millions and millions of dollars I would give them to Christopher Nolan just to insure that he would make more movies in this franchise.

At the Friday viewing saw the trailer for Serenity and it was really cool. I had watched it online like three times that day as I was bored at work but seeing it on the big screen is pretty dang remarkable and ( Sooper Sekrit Message for Hiyacynth )

I can't get over my reaction to this movie. I thought I would love it and hoped I would love it and knew that Christian Bale would be an awsesome Batman so I had pretty high expectations going in and I'm so giddygiddygiddy that they've been met and spectacularly exceeded.

And, on a more shallow note, I've got to move to Gotham because even the villains there are extraordinarily hot. I loved Cillian Murphy before this but now, wow. *is speechless*

In completely other news, why is it that talking to my mother on the telephone makes me need to eat a comfort snack? I don't think that's the reaction she intended when she called. ;-)
