"Everything we've ever done has led to this."

Saw POTC3 Saturday. People are catching onto the whole $5 movie before noon. The theater (and concession stand and parking lot) was packed for just shy of 11am. I am not happy about this.

Anyway, I loved the movie. Mom, too. It was a vast improvement over the second, but the second was a lot of set-up for the awesome payoff in the third. Most on my flist have mentioned everything else I loved (and my few quibbles), but I’ve seen a lack of talk with regards to the ending (this includes the scene following the credits). ( spoilers, spoilers, spoilers. )

And don't hate me, but I REALLY want to see Transformers. Sadly, it only has a tiny bit to do with the fact that Shia stars.

It rained all day yesterday. Like, when Mom flipped over to the Weather Channel at one point, our area was under the orange part of the storm. ALL DAY. RAIN. We didn’t get to have our Pho Bowls at Hot Wok. Max and Boo were in a mood, constantly whining to go out back, and when we’d open the door for them, rain splattering on the linoleum, they’d give us the eyes, as if we had any control over the weather. All in all a sucky-ass, if wonderfully lazy (didn’t get out of my jammies at all) day.

“Holden Caulfield is such a whiny little bitch.”

Oh my hell, I have a terrible allergy headache. I think it's going to be a Chlor-Trimeton kind of night.

I have fic recs – are you surprised? – and they're in fandoms I haven't recced in the past.

Conflict Resolution by fearlessfan
[Fandom: Psych; rating: G; summary: why Carlton Lassiter punched Shawn Spencer, and how they got past it. Written For: Yuletide 2006.]
I love this fic. Carlton is Carlton and Shawn is Shawn, and it's fantastic. Also, some lovely cameos by Gus and Juliet. It makes me all that much more excited for the show's return this summer (God, I love USA and their split seasons).

You Know I'm No Good by buffyx
[The O.C.; pairing/character: Summer/Ryan; rating: R - pre-sex; spoilers/warnings: through season two.]
I've ALWAYS loved this pairing, and this captures them both so well. I love seeing the events of season two from Summer's perspective because God knows, the girl has some perspective on shit. Summer isn't one to pull punches, and she doesn't here, even with herself. Plus, you know, it's HOT as all get out, as I imagine all things with Ryan and Summer would be.

And lastly, I bought Neutrogena’s MoistureShine Lip Soother on a whim over the weekend. It lasts and lasts, which I haven’t found in most lipglosses I buy, but then it also has some serious moisturizer in there AND sunblock. Best impulse buy in awhile.
