Full Days, Quiet Nights

This weekend has been rather busy for me and I ended up doing more than I realized. On Friday I went grocery shopping and remembered how much I don't like shopping in Barnes and Noble. I got a paycheck so I was planning on buy X-Men: First Class since Barnes and Noble is next to Whole Foods but in the end I didn't. There's something about the space in those bookstores that doesn't make me eager to buy things and it's kind of sad, but they sent me a coupon so I might go back.

Especially since I ended up creating a journal for Charles Xavier, balancingminds and putting him in Mixed Muses and Ididwhatwithwho, he's a lot of fun to play. One thing that in_the_blue pointed out, anyone can tag into the ididwhatwithwho post if you'd rather play someplace that's not Milliways' lite. I've been abusing bending time over in Mixed Muses as I adore his reaction to other psychics which is this great combination of ooh want to know everything and oops, didn't mean to be rude. Both of those EPs are open for ages and he'll probably be getting another one in Mixed Muses from a later point in canon this week. Now I need to find more icons from the movie that actually work for RP, far too many of them just don't.

Saturday was a fairly quiet day where the big thing I did was make a quiche. It turned out tasty and I'll be having the last leftovers for dinner tonight. The silly thing I did was I forgot to defrost the pie crust until all the other parts were set, but I'll know better for next time. Also next time I'll be more thoughtful in terms of amount of filling to eggs as it's tasty and looks like a quiche but falls apart easily.

Sunday I saw The Three Musketeers with the_croupier and had a fantastic time. One thing I realized is that thanks to Milliways, I consider Logan Lerman one of those actors I keep an eye out for and I had so much second hand embarrassment for him in the movie. He's a good actor but he was surrounded by such hams that I kept wanting to pat him on the head though he did better than I had expected. The movie made me laugh out loud so much that my stomach hurt a bit and seeing it with Rick was wonderful, it really is a Milliways' movie as the plot's something that a group of us would come up with.

Then I came home and got very inspired on 100wordstories which had three prompts for the day. I wrote a Charles X fic that gives a hint to my current long one about his dreams. The other one I wrote is a Tumnus' fic about his time in stone.

The nice surprise of last night was how good Once Upon a Time was, the characters started to actually feel real and I cared about them. Hopefully it can follow up on that and keep improving.
