1. So hey guys, remember how we were going to post that prompt list from [livejournal.com profile] fma_ladyfest? Well, now it is up! Whether or not you participated in the original ficathon, take a look, see if you are struck by inspiration - it would be pretty awesome to see some of these fics popping up on my flist. ~FMA LADIES~ <3333333 (Also, for those who did participate in the ladyfest, it's not too late to get your prompts added to the list; if you fill out the poll here and drop us a comment, we'll put them up ASAP!)

2. Movies I have seen in theaters recently: Megamind, Harry Potter 7 pt. 1

Megamind: Liked it enormously! The characters are largely adorable, and whatever flaws it has are all wiped out for me by the fact that, while the vast majority of films thoroughly shore up the Nice Guy trope, Megamind critiques it with a vengeance. Yes, that guy who lurks around and makes creeper eyes at you and refuses to take no for a final answer: not just romantic and misunderstood! In fact, often creepy and potentially dangerous! THANK YOU, DREAMWORKS.

Harry Potter: I suspect I am the only person in the world who prefers the movies to the books. HEATHEN, SACRILEGE, ETC., I know! But I just really enjoy the visuals and the worldbuilding in the movies - the magic stuff actually feels integrated into the world, rather than being cool bits that were stuck in because JKR thought they were cool without thinking much about implications. Also, I have a great fondness for Daniel Radcliffe ever since watching him be a giant overenthusiastic dork at the Tonys. He's so tiny! Anyway, overall I thought the film was pretty gorgeous (shiny, lulzy makeout scene aside). That said, there was one point at which I think the whole theater sort of hated us, but you try keeping a straight face as Ron shouts at Harry, "YOUR PARENTS ARE DEEEEEAD!"

3. Relatedly: thanks to [livejournal.com profile] innerbrat, there is now a #ChaSongJooisBatman tag on Twitter. I don't actually have a Twitter, but if I did it would be my MOST USED TAG EVER.

4. Tomorrow morning I am going home for Thanksgiving! Plans include: an epic ton of cooking, an epic ton of writing, chilling with high school friends, keeping my promise to my mother to see Harry Potter with her, FINISHING MY GRAD SCHOOL APPLICATION.
