Yeah, baby...

Yesterday, I cracked 40,000 words.

Today, I cracked 41,000 words.

My villain now has even more motivation to hate Ben than he had before. I've done a bit more world-building. It's still coming together piecemeal, and I'm going to have to go back and edit a couple of scenes to reflect the new reality.

In other news, I made some more Sherlock Holmes wallpapers from the trailer, off the template I used before. I may post them later, or I may make another RDJ wallpaper from some candids that just showed up with him in the Tony Stark goatee, wearing a fabulous hat and an open-necked shirt, and smoking a cigar. GUH.

Later, we're going to see "Night at the Museum II." Is it bad that I think it'll probably be smarter than "Terminator: Salvation"? I mean, okay, my Geek Cred is intact in that I actually went to see the thing (and I'm terribly disappointed that I didn't get the Sherlock Holmes trailer with it, WTF, drive-in, just WTF?), but I have...issues with it. Issues. There's a good word.

Also: Coolest. Thing. EVER. Yes. Someone made a Vera replica. Having seen that, my life is now complete and I can die reasonably happy.

I am holding...

...in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, the complete series "My Own Worst Enemy." Picked it up at Wally World for $20. Also, they had "The Prestige" for $7.50, and I had to have that. And then we hied over to Target, where I picked up S1&S2 of "Perfect Strangers" in the same set for $13, and "Get Smart" for $10. Yeah. Went a little DVD-happy today. I do not have a Mypos Dance of Joy icon, so Numfar will have to do.

And, true to my prediction, "Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian" was both more entertaining and also smarter than "Terminator: Salvation." (spoilers in the comments) Hank Azaria was perfect, OMG. Also, he has pretty arms. Shallow agilebrit is shallow. Sue me.

If anyone's interested, Target has the first season of "Burn Notice" for $15.

Dammit, I wish I could find "Restoration" somewhere, cheap. Woe.

So, yeah. We've seen all the big SF/F releases so far this year. And so far my faves are "Night at the Museum" and "Wolverine." I should probably be ashamed of that, but I feel strangely unmotivated to hand in my Geek Card.
