Fandom: Media consumed and created
While I haven't yet watched Mockingjay part one (I tend to watch the Hunger Games movies when they're available on Blu-Ray, though I may make an exception for this one if I can work it in tomorrow between car repair and leaving town -- so probably not), this version of the hanging tree gave me chills.
I'm giving The Flash a try. Missed episode one being available on Hulu+, but so far, it's kind of adorable. In particular, I love Detective Joe West and his son feels about Barry, Iris West and her delightful self, and everyone at STAR labs. I'm not super familiar with The Flash from comic books, but so far, it seems like a fun show along the lines of the first Tobey McGuire Spiderman with a dash of Batman-esque drama thrown in. Could do without the fridged mother character, of course.
Watched the latest WWE pay-per-view, Survivor Series, and overall came away pleased though mostly that is because of the AMAZING main event, Dolph Ziggler kicking so much ass and finally getting some fantastic recognition, Seth Rollins leaping in and out and causing trouble, and MOTHER FUCKING STING SHOWING UP OMG. Plus TEAM RYBACK FOREVER. I also really enjoyed the tag team fatal four-way, mostly because I love the Usos and Mizdow. My adoration of Mizdow is one of the biggest surprises for me, because I did not like Sandow at all. Enjoyed the divas survivor match, unimpressed with the title match between AJ and Nikki, though I'm thrilled to see Nikki with the title. I love Nikki and her rack attack.
The Jurassic World teaser trailer does nothing but annoy me. I WANT THE ACTUAL TRAILER NOW. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER. MORE DINOSAURS DUDES DINOSAURS FOREVER.
Still source reviewing for my actual Yuletide assignment, but one of the treats has now reached 8500 words oh my god it just won't stop. It's paused for the moment, and I need to do a little more source review for it, too, but oh, man, this treat is ridiculous and out of control. I'm so excited about it and my assignment. (I'll be excited about the other treats I started, too, once I get to work on them again.)
Unrelated to media, except in that it falls into my garage and mechanic love, I tried some minor repairs on my car, which failed, alas. I think the battery is just dead, due to not being able to start it for a week in the cold weather while I was waiting on a part, and J and I have now joined AAA, so I'm calling them in the morning. Here's hoping the jump will be it, because I really need to be on the road fairly early tomorrow. I have a four hour drive down to J's, and I don't really want to do it in the dark with the weather we're having. Plus I'm off to pick up a friend at the train station on Tuesday, and that will be an easier drive if I've made it to J's on Monday. So looking forward to friend's visit.
