And, damn. I went looking for Gina Torres info out of idle curiosity (she's 42! holy crap!) and good God, is she made out of 100% awesome. I never knew that she was a mezzo soprano trained in opera and jazz vocals, and that she and Laurence Fishburne got married at the Cloisters. How can one person contain that much spectacular?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It was in the 60s again today. The hyacinths have been sending shoots up for a while, but I haven't seen and flowers yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jeez. I just did my timecard for this week, and my weekly report, since tomorrow's my day off. I have nineteen and a half hours left on my task order, and they still don't have a contract in place.
I suspect I'm going to be out of the office after noon on Wednesday...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I nominate this dude for Dad of the Year - [link] Relatedly, I now want crazy-colored hair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah! So awesome, that dad.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Aw, I like that dad way better than the dad who shot his daughter's laptop.

I was going to say Tracie Thoms for Lizzy but she's also, like, 37.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like that dad's daughter better than the daughter who got the laptop shot. I like the dads about evenly.
Two Hunger Games TV spots: [link] I think the first one spoils a reveal (what Katniss chooses to do to impress the judges before the Games) that I felt like should have stayed secret, for some reason.
And it tipped me over into buying the second one. I'd just borrowed it at the time. But I had to look up the initial description of Finnick to quote scripture to explain why it couldn't be Bomer or Cavill. Come on, now. They're pretty, but.

Between Hunger Games, Brave and Legend of Korra this is going to be a good year for strong women warrior characters.
