So, we're taking off tomorrow for the wilds of Colorado...

So, I'm going to leave you fine folks with some Robert Downey, Jr news and a couple of Iron Man fic recs.

First of all, from Newsweek's coverage of "Tropic Thunder":

Downey's Lazarus is the movie's most unforgettable jest. A fanatically committed method actor, he surgically darkens his skin to play the part of African-American Sgt. Lincoln Osiris and refuses to go out of character even when the cameras stop rolling. Downey is astonishing: he's so deep into this double role that when the characters' ghetto accent occasionally falters, it slips into an Aussie accent.

This makes me so gleeful. I have no words for how ridiculously much I'm looking forward to this movie.

Okay, this first fic rec is...really really darkfic. I've recced stuff by quigonejinn before, because she's just brilliant. In this one, we consider what might have happened had Pepper been Obadiah's assistant rather than Tony's, and what loyalty means to her. So, I give you: The Hardest Part of Your Job. This will make you go gaaaaaaah. And then you'll want to go back and read it again.

And this one to comfort you after reading that one: Books and Backchat, by the lovely and effulgent awanderingbard. Tony and Pepper banter at its best.

And now I must go forth and pack. Whee.

I won't have any internet access until Tuesday, after we leave tomorrow.
