For all you shatter is our seeming, And in breaking we are free

I just received 2 new pair of jeans, from something that had been on my wishlist back in July. If that was you, thank you.

If not, Amazon burped and repeated an order for me.

2013. You know what this means, right? Time to cancel the apocalypse!

It seems to also have been a real slow down in my viewing, but I was working nights and/or juggling supervision work without being a supervisor.

Fast & Furious 6 - Decent. At this point it really was about how ludicrous the stunts could be.

After Earth - Is it great? No. Did it hold my attention? YES. It's one of those that I watched a few times, will not rec it to just anyone, but it had SOMETHING there that grabs my attention.

Pacific Rim - Not even in the Top 10 movies of the year, and yet. The impact of seeing this (I bought it in a cheapie bin! I don't think there was ANY marketing in my area for it) cannot be measured. It was watching Godzilla on a Saturday morning, and following it up with Voltron. It was joy. It was tragedy. It was beautiful.

Summary:

They trade off who handles lunch

---

Drizzt had set the basket of food and jug of cider on the table, then gone back to his room to clean up, thinking he had plenty of time.

He came back to find Alustriel already dividing the portions onto plates, the cider poured (and likely warmed by her spells).

"I thought it was my day to treat us with our lunch? And you are early."

"My last appointment sent her regrets, and why should I not help? You hunted it, in a fashion, and this is me preparing it."

He kissed her, smiling in the kiss.

"You spoil me."

If you weren't here before I stopped these, I would basically gather all of the recs I'd posted in my server, organize them a bit, and share them on ... Sundays? I think.

Summary:

Alfred is a bit disappointed.

---

Alfred raised one eyebrow at his charge arriving alone for the night.

"I presume the absence of Miss Vale is the reason you insisted on driving yourself to the date?"

Bruce grimaced. "She's got a prime opportunity to do some reporting in Hong Kong," he deflected.

"And were I to inquire on the ultimate ownership of the press agency she will be going there for, would I find it under one of our ledgers?"

That got silence and a pointed removal of his coat at first, which Alfred took.

"No," Bruce said, relenting. "But someone did owe me a favor."

Summary:

It's business; why's Clark nervous?

---

"Lane! Kent!"

Clark hastily put his pen down and stood up, taking that first stride and nearly bumped into Lois. He paused and made the gesture for her to precede him, not that she'd ever done much more than glare. He followed behind her, and shut the door at Perry's irritable wave at that.

"Yes, Mister White?" Clark asked after Lois's more irritated "What is it?"

"Talk to Daphne for tickets; sending you both to Paris to cover their reaction to the Euro Parliament elections," Perry said. "Try not to get off-beat on this one!"

Lois smiled. "Thank you, Perry."

Clark was suspicious of that sudden shift in her voice and mood, but he followed her out with a 'yes sir', to go see Daphne. Paris might be an interesting place to visit, without it being about world peace or saving the world.

Lois seemed to see it as good.

Ma wants to make a better one

---

"Ma wants the measurements this year," Clark said as he sipped a cup of hot cocoa and peered over at J'onn.

The Martian chuckled. "I still have the previous sweater, and wear it on occasion," J'onn pointed out.

"She wants to make one that fits you, in the form you are most likely to wear one," Clark rebutted. "Please?"

"Do you have a measuring tape handy?" J'onn asked with good humor, setting his empty glass down. His form shifted to that of a nondescript average guy in a fedora and trench coat when Clark produced it, so they could measure.

Jareth has an interloper in his realm

Seductive Distaction

A grimace touched the Goblin King's lips, before fully settling into a scowl.

"I thought I told you, babies and toddlers only!" he snapped at his closest goblin lieutenant.

"But you said he was pretty and you wanted —" the words were cut off abruptly as Jareth used his riding crop to smack the chair the goblin was on.

"How to head him off before he seduces every denizen of my realm," Jareth mused, watching the handsome man in his uniform handily winning directions from everyone he met.

"Maybe you can seduce him?"

Jareth glowered at the speaker.

"Maybe I shall."
