House, dog, and cat sat for my parents this weekend. It's always fun to be the one who gets to spring the dog from the kennel--she's so happy about it. Even the cat was unusually affectionate and non-grumpy.
Note to self: remember to go comment on the Steve/Tony emo-porn up at marvel_slash, in order to encourage the production of further Steve/Tony emo-porn.
And on the topic of marvel_slash: I'd say it was declasse to include in one's comments on a fic a pointed statement of your contempt for 1/2 of the pairing depicted, but, well...
In the Steve/Tony fixit fic of endless conversation porn, I have just manged to use the nouns "Scarlet Witch" and "mass genocide" in the same sentence. With the verb "committed" between them. And composing said sentence for eventual public consumption made my entire morning, even though it's a mere throwaway line. I may possibly have cackled in glee while I typed.
When you get right down to it, I'm just as petty and biased as Certain Fangirls Who Shall Not Be Named.
Though, in fairness to the people who don't really, really, really want Wanda to be put on trial by an international tribunal and executed for crimes against humanity, I did specify that she used to be a decent human being (you know, before going insane and becoming the most powerful/successful supervillain ever).

Must peer-edit fellow seminar student's research project. Don't want to (I can't think of anything to say but, "This is good and better than mine. I like how, unlike me, you did your historiography in the footnotes rather than the text. Also, you remembered to space between the footnotes, again, unlike me.").
It has occurred to me that, despite my longtime avoidance of RPGs (which always sounded to me like they generally descend into randomness and OOC-ness, sometimes through the use of many, many in-jokes), the original "outline" for Fixit Fic is essentially an RPG of two, complete with in-references ("and they they do the S&H forehead touching thing") and things that are only there because we thought they were funny ("are you certain we have the right body this time, Skull?").
And the 13+ page "outline" for Denialverse (the five roughly plotted virtual seasons of an imaginary Avengers cartoon branching off from the Iron Man animated film) is even more RPG-like, since it exists mainly for the fun of having our own little happy and Disassembled/Civil War-free Avengers world, and may or may not ever actually be written (five virtual seasons would be longer than a novel).And includes things like the almost-as-well-developed AU where everyone is the opposite gender, because Stephanie Rogers/Tonya Stark makes me happy in an emo-porn-licious way only equaled by Dicken's Hard Times.
