I really am starting to feel like it's a countdown to doomsday

MCU Civil War: 60 hours.

Still trying to be upbeat, expecting entertainment and plotbunnies.

Still angry.

( shipping and female characters )

And yes, I'm still bitter.

parents and politics

Had the parentals over for dinner last night - Mum's birthday.

Cooked roast beef, vegies, and ANZAC Cheesecake.



It turned out pretty good, I think, although the base needed to be thinner at the corners.

In the after-dinner conversation we managed to get into how the internet is a bad thing because of ISIS and extremism (my stepfather). We argued it for a little while, but he's set in his ways.

The worrying thing is that this is becoming a thing in the after-dinner conversations where there's us (the kids - including my stepbrothers) and him. My sisters and I tend liberal (small-l; that's important in Australia), so does my mother. Not sure about the stepbrothers but I suspect they tend centrist - or, at least, enough to argue with their dad about politics. But, yeah, the stepdad tends conservative.

I think the next time politics comes up, I'm going to clear the dishes rather than engage.

I know nobody likes being 'wrong', but come on, we need more people to write Maria-centric stuff...
