Okay, so I can't be unhappy when listening to James Marsden sing "That's Amore" from Enchanted. I don't think it's actually possible. Something about that song just wires into my brain and I want to sing and gesture and sway in my office cube.

Not that I was unhappy. In fact, I finally got something working that I've been working on all week and which has been crapping me out. And it's FRIDAY!

My front garden bed has been cleared of about 2m cubed of red lava rocks and looks so nice and all ready for composting and fruit trees and orchard cover greenery. The 10 bags of horse manure should be delivered today. That's going into a compost pile (or several of them), and will also be dumped into the spots where I'm planning to plant fruit trees - probably dig holes, dump the compost, and then plant the trees come spring, when all the bare-rooted trees are being sold.

My weekend consists of nothing on Saturday (NOTHING) and a destash fabric market on Sunday (where I'm selling, not buying). Hopefully sell all the extra fabric I have - I did a big clean out, but I still have more to go.

I have done almost no writing lately. Maria Hill epic is going slowly, and none of the Jupiter Ascending stories are going anywhere. Once again, the profic has gone backburner.

This is partly due to quilting - I am three gifts behind, and have two coming due at the end of this month/start of next. *sigh*

And next month the ficathons start up again. [community profile] unconventionalcourtship, [livejournal.com profile] shipswap and the first check-up for the [livejournal.com profile] heroinebigbang which may or may not go.

I also signed up for...something related to Maria Hill on tumblr. It appears to be something like a crossbreed of ye olde webrings and a popularity contest - only the 15 most popular (as defined by reblogs) 'applications' get to be part of it? Or something?

*handwaves that*

Haven't gotten anywhere further on Agents of SHIELD. Thought about it last night while burying threads from quilting (seriously, most boring task ever, pushing even binding into second place), couldn't be assed. Also my sister was watching Australia vs. India in World Cup Cricket (we won) and I didn't particularly want it to become a battle of shows.

Finally: Friday meme

Pick any character from a fandom of mine and I'll answer the following questions:
1. What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
2. Is he/she important to the general plot?
3. Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
4. How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5. Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6. Is there anything about the character you would change?
7. If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her? Would you get along well? Fall in love with him/her? Dislike? Have a friendly rivalry?
8. Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9. Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about this character (if you dislike) to someone new to fandom?


Fandoms: anything you know I'm in, or think I'm in, or think I should be in (and I will base it on my understanding of that fandom).

Placeholder for the moment - there will definitely be more!

Okay, so I love these fandoms and I love the female characters of these fandoms (more specifically, I really really love one or two female characters in these fandoms: the others are nice but these ones tug my heartstrings) and I would adore it if you wrote something that is centric about these characters.

likes and dislikes - Agents of SHIELD, Sanctuary, Angel, Pacific Rim, Captain America )

As part of the yearly [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon challenge (which I have completely failed to contribute to this year), [personal profile] endeni has made a bunch of graphics for my January Blog Meme Post: Day #3 MCU Movies - and they are AWESOME!

Go and check them out - and/or reblog them on tumblr!

It was a lovely start to my weekend!

(And now I'm seriously considering writing this trilogy. I'd almost certainly end up Jossed by the time CA2 came out, however.)

Requested by [livejournal.com profile] crazy4orcas:

If you could write your own movie for Marvel -- who would make up your cast and what would be a general outline of the movie? Would you set it up for sequels, or maybe go the trilogy route?

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Dangerous, dangerous topic this one! But at the end of this, I want you to remember that YOU ASKED FOR IT.

Okay, I'd go trilogy route, because, hey, TRILOGY. (Plus, we really need more stories about women. Lots more stories.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Trilogy: The Director, The Cavalry, The Steel Fist )

Whew! I spent most of the day putting this together, reading up character bios in the films and working out which characters could do what...

ETA: ...and I just saw the news about the Peggy Carter TV series. Almost certainly would go a very different direction.
