This is for last Friday
Jun. 2nd, 2014 08:25 amRandom Access Info…..
I keep meaning to get back to this and post but things have been weird. I’ve been making it back to the gym more than not but the last week or so I’ve been dealing with a horrible stuffed up ear. It was so bad that the week before last I got dizzy at the gym and had to sit down and stop my work out. I was woozy and hit an asthma attack. No fun. The weekend was kind of a bust for me getting anything done and I loafed around and read fan fic. Bleah. But over last weekend (Memorial Day) I was productive and managed to 1) go shopping with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ickaimp and elinor_dear for cosplay items for my interpretation of Pre-Changes Molly Carpenter. It was an epic amount of shopping and fun. We hit Goodwills and I found some awesome stuff. Elinor and Icka both found neat things too. To complete my outfit I need to find fishnets in my size (hello shopping at Hydra Downtown) and split my wigs to make them. Oh, and order my fake piercings which I will do today.
So, on the fan fic front I will recommend the following:
1) The Man on the Bridge
I think this is very close to what may happen in future Captain America Stuff. Its some Cap/Bucky slash but that is pretty secondary honestly. Its epic.
2) The Hollow Crown
Imagine that Tom Hiddleston could Channel Loki cause he’s played him. Epic adventure ensues to rescue Loki from a bad God clutches. Funny and just well, neato concept.
3) Tower of Glass Houses
Clint/Tony which is weird in a way but the writing is really well done. All of the characters are acting in cannon pretty well and the writing is very well done.
4) You’re My End of the Line.
Another take on the Bucky/Steve Story and the programming that has to be broken on Bucky. Wow, epic feels, PTSD dealing etc. Its really believable and everyone is well written.
5) The ‘Run-Verse
This is fluffy and believable in a weird way. Darcy (from Thor) is Tony Stark’s secret daughter. Yeah, I know sounds completely improbable but this completely fits.
6)I’m still looking for the fic that Darcy is Secretly Phil Coulson’s daughter and that Coulson got hit with the Super Soldier Serum with Tony, Clint and Clint’s bro as kids….its epic and good. And the Avengers eff with Spiderman. Nope that is #3! Again, awesome!
I’ve also been reading books at lot. I finished #5 – My Mother She Killed Me, My Father he Ate Me which was retelling of old, creepy and disturbing or new fairytales. Yeah, I won’t be reading that again. A few were good but most were squicky and just made me realize we are evil people deep down. #6 was Jenny Lawson’s Let’s Pretend This Never Happened . I know I read something between #6 and my current reading binge…but can’t remember what is it for the life of me. I’ll have to look at my discard pile.
But I have also read the first two books in the Rivers of London Series by Ben Aaronovitch which are Midnight Riot and Moon over SoHo and I’m almost done with Whispers Underground. (Books of the year #7-#9) They all deal with Peter Grant who is a young Constable with the London Police and how he stumbles onto magic and gets to be the apprentice to the last Wizard (as far as the government knew) of England since WWII. It’s a fantastic world and Peter is a great character and the magic is really neato and not easy to learn.
But I just finished a two day reading binge of Jim Butcher’s Skin Game which is the 15th Dresden Files book. Wow, its good, fast paced and Harry is finally learning things and where he fits in the World. There is a ton of fan service in the book and I’m very pleased with it.
Other than books I’ve been trying to get the house in order. One weekend I cleaned my studio, the next weekend I cleaned the bathrooms and this weekend will be sewing the chemise and bustle for my Victorian Baroness Cosplay. Ari helped me get the bustle pattern set and now its time to sew once I figure out if I have a ruffle foot for one of my machines which I’m pretty sure that I do.
Other than that I have a few SCA projects planned and more calligraphy than I can shake a stick at to do. Our scribble goal is to not have a single scroll without text on it in the case. It’s a large goal but I think we can do it.
