ebooks and whatnots

Have a lot of random ebooks to produce and release—I promised a Chuck vs. the Sound of Music II ebook, and I have some of my own to make—but I went ahead and started compiling an ebook of all of the stories/art posted in the [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised Secret Santa challenge. The entries have started going up and every single one is wonderful. I’ve preformatted it so that each entry will have its banner and I’ll be able to slot in the authors whenever the reveals are made.

Even better than all of them (sorry, I’m vain!), though, is the one that my lovely person wrote for me, which has everything I never knew I wanted (Sleeping Beauty!Clint, Natasha being a BAMF and talking to Maria Hill with reasons and logic!, the Scarlet Witch!, kissing in car trunks!). Seriously, you should go read it here and shower the writer with compliments. I am inordinately jealous because I have never been able to write kissing very well, and this person just excels. **huggles fic**

How strange is life when you’re able to send your mother Yuletide recs? I’m, uh, asking for a friend.

Still have not seen Les Mis. I have Fandango Cash to see it because my dad got Bourne Legacy for Christmas (that was fun; I fell asleep on the couch on Christmas morning and woke to explosions and SURPRISE RENNER) and there was an offer on the box, but I just haven’t made it to a theater yet. [livejournal.com profile] sabra_n might actually try to strangle me if I don’t go soon, though.

The news is showing something that looks like it’s about the production of bullets. I looked up and thought that all of that gold meant it was Reese’s peanut butter cups (you know, the little ones you get at Halloween) and got really nervous, but whew. Just bullets.

Hey, messing with my miniature Reese’s cups is fighting words.

I'm not going to strangle you! I'm just...tapping my foot. Waiting.

*stares*

You forget I live with a Boston Terrier who stares at me for hours at a time. Not gonna work.

*munches on popcorn*

I'm about as intimidating as a small dog, too. Which is why I'm mostly serene about waiting until you get around to watching. :)

I think my small dogs would be intimidating if they could get past that whole "being portable" problem. Which is probably the point.

Plus, they're bug-eyed and ugly, too.

I will definitely be watching soon! I just wanted to avoid theaters with singing.

There was no singing at my theater. There wasn't even loud crunching or cell phone noises. JUST SAYING.

Agree with that comment! There was not any singing from audience members when I went to go see Les Mis on Christmas. However, it was sold out in the theaters close to me, so we had to go to Tomball.

I would suggest getting tix online to be guaranteed seats, but that's just me, Frea, :)
