At Home

[elspethdixon]

Well, in the past few days I've gone home (six hour drive), not gone to the air show on Memorial Day (it was pouring done rain, thus no air show), been to the library, and started unpacking. And I'm still watching X-Men Evolution. Speaking of which, last night's episode was wonderful--an unusually large amount of screen time for the acolytes, plus, Pyro finally got dialogue that consisted of something other than maniacal laughter. And there was Gambit! Lots of Gambit! (Yes, I admit it, I'm a rabid fangirl when it comes to Gambit-every time he appears on the screen I go "Squee!" and bounce in my seat) The first few minutes of the show were like something out of Oceans' Eleven--he vaults the fence, he breaks in through the window (drawing a cute little smiley face on the glass in the process), he sneaks through the laser grid--Warren Worthington's security system is his bitch! And then later in the show he smashes the giant mystical spider-thing under a doubledecker bus--and then charges the bus. Okay, so Magneto and the Acolytes weren't really supposed to destroy the spider (in fact, in doing so they accidentally helped put Appocalypse one step closer to being loose). I don't care. The only good arachnid is a dead arachnid. Squash that spider, Magneto! *blinks and wonders when she began rooting for the villain* Oh yeah, when the X-Men team for an episode doesn't involve anyone interesting like Nightcrawler, Wolverine, or Rogue, just the boring people like Jean and Scott.

In the real world, my sister left a can of coke in the freezer yesterday. It exploded. God, am I glad it wasn't my can of coke.
