Watched a cool movie today, but I don't know the title ;-; Thing is, it had this fantasy subplots that would be so awesome for an entire story being based on them, and I would've digged the movie if they'd used them. Oh well.

It's 10:18 and only now I remembered that Doctor Who, in all it's subtitled glory is on TV. *kicks herself* And it's The Unquiet Dead, too! (I heart that episode, it's just so brilliant).

The new userinfo? HATE IT. It's truly, deeply horrible. Let's hope they listen to the EFFING 30+ PAGES of comments saying "OMG HIDEOUS".

Anyway, I'm going to the beach tomorrow morning, to the annual family reunion in Cuyutlán, what appears to be the MOST UNKNOWN BEACH EVER. Bah, whatever, I could really use some sun, my legs are awfully pale, especially compared to my arms (which are tanned as hell from being in a car under the blistering sun for more than an hour and a half every day). It should be fun, anyway, I'll try and bring pictures. :) I'll be back on Sunday (I knoooow, it's way too short of a trip considering it's 3+ hours away), so don't miss me too much, k? *winks*

Now, I feel like reccing:

Betrayals and Resurrections by c_elisa. 5 lovely post X-3 vignettes, filling in where the movie was lacking. The ending, especially, gave me the chills.

In Revers by laytoncolt. Silent, angsty Bobby/John after X-3, with them sorting through the consequences of their fight in the movie, and Bobby actually goes and takes John captive, and somehow, she doesn't turn it into a cliche.

A Topograhical Survey of the Island of Manhattan by vagabond_sal. John, post X-2, waiting in New York for Magneto's orders while having no money, no food, no hope. He meets with the human version of the Avalanche, and it's all so sad and achey and the ending broke me. Wonderful, just like anything by this author, really (he writes the best Pyro fic ever).

Up and Down by enkidu_fic. I've loved this two vignettes for a looooong time, perfectly twisted Sasu/Naru, just in the way it should be written.

Touch the Parade by in_my_notebook. Oh just beatiful Sasu/Naru. If you think this is AU, think again. This has wonderful descriptions of life in a circus, and even when not a color is mentioned (sad, I know), it still feels so alive and full of movement.

Ta, folks. :)

OMG OMG OMG, OMG!!!!

( spoilers for Naruto 306 )

I've just caught up on the manga, since I was like, so behind it wasn't even funny. (chap 292, I think...) I'm digging how Sakura has FINALLY been brought up to both Naruto and Sasuke's level. I started as a Sasu/Saku and then Kaka/Saku shipper (I know, I know... HET! XD) before I moved on to the goodness of Naru/Sasu, so I've always liked how grown up she can be in the moments it counts, and I've NEVER really understood what's up with all the bashing; but at the end of the last arc, Kishimoto did forget about her a bit, and now she's SUPER COOL AND SUPER POWERFUL AND YAYZ! because she deserves it. And because they can now be the new Sannin and be great as a disfunctional team ^g^

Now all I have to do is finally get caught up with the latest Bleach *g*

Now, onto other matters: I'm writing Remus/Regulus, Remus/Sirius, but I've a grammar question: 'seeing from the corner of the eyes' is the right way to say it, right? Because we say 'del rabillo del ojo' which would mean the same thing, but I'm still not sure if I'm just inventing my own grammar rules... Which wouldn't be odd with me. XD Anyway, if it IS right, how do you use it? with 'through', 'in', 'on' or WHAT?

Also, moonix? digging the Tomte XD

Oh God this is done, FINALLY!! I rather like the ending result, but damn, was it hard to write. I feel free, suddenly XD (now, if I could only do any homework, though...)
