devildollI caught some kind of death plague thing with a cough that's been dragging on and on, and I am tired of it, so it needs to go away already. While I was sick, some stuff happened.
- Because I was a miserable ball of germs, chicklet_girl wrote me a foofy little Gibbs/DiNozzo ficlet that made me go "Awwww!" and only be a little bitter that I had to make my own damn tea. But I compensated for that by loading it with Bailey's Irish Cream, which I think is an idea I got from fyrdrakken?
- musesfool and I had a text convo about Steve Rogers (note: we have a text convo about Steve Rogers, or some other Avenger, every single day) and about how he may be a Madonna fan. My own personal contribution to this headcanon is the best part would be that he really likes Secret [YouTube link] because he thinks it's a really positive message. You should learn to love yourself! You should make your own happiness! And no one has the heart to tell him it's about masturbation.
- I had to make a very necessary run to the Wal-Marts to get toilet paper and kleenex and shampoo, and also essentials. Pictured below: essentials.

(Once I got my sense of taste back, these were actually quite disappointing--not very cinammony at all--and have since been relegated to the work break room, along with a box of chocolates, some chocolate-covered almonds, and few other things that came my way around Christmas that I will never eat.) - Anyway, I totally blame too many not-very-cinnamony jelly hearts for the fact that at the last minute I wrote a little Cougar/Jensen story for The Ante Up Losers Fic Scramble. I cannot tell you which one until the authors are revealed, though I think if you've read other things I've written you can probably suss it out. I've got a pony that does one trick, and I will ride it until the day I die.
- Finally, and most importantly, I have to share this comic book scan, because a while back I ended up buying a Justin Bieber notebook, which led me to write a snippet where Tony buys Steve from the United States government (as you do). And then last week I saw this on Tumblr, which I gather is from the Ulimate Captain America series (I stopped reading the Ultimate books years ago because everyone was so unrelentingly awful--and just Googling around to find the source of this image made me think the Ult Cap book was no different):

So, clearly, it was meant to be.

Considering how vile Ultimate!Cap is, it would not surprise me at all if he is a fan of the Justin Bieber, just so he could somehow ruin the lives of tween girls. (Sorry! I am never getting over my hate for Ultimate!Cap!)
I'm just sad the movie isn't going to include a scene of Steve and Darcy doing "Express Yourself" at karaoke night. YOU KNOW IT WOULD RULE.

Date: 2012-02-01 08:16 pm (UTC)And I can totally see Steve as liking Madonna because the implications are going right over his head, yes. Possibly Lady Gaga as well, if no one shows him any of her videos.
I have an entire box of Valentine's chocolates sitting by my knitting chair in the living room at home that I haven't opened yet because I think I'm still eating up the last little bit of Xmas candy in the fridge. (Mom ate most of my truffles, though. I didn't remind her that box cost something like $20.)
ETA: Also, there should be more of that Steve-sold-to-Tony-as-military-surplus fic. Just saying.

Date: 2012-02-06 07:37 pm (UTC)I have to say, it did not take me long to get used to having Irish Cream in the morning. Probably not the best beverage right before I drive 30 miles to work, though. I'll have to get some NA stuff.

Date: 2012-02-06 11:41 pm (UTC)Yeah, I can dimly remember when I first started using it as a milk substitute I would get slightly buzzed on my morning tea, but nowadays that doesn't happen unless I use a substantial amount (like when I use a huge mug for cocoa and fill it up the rest of the way with Irish cream). And in recent months, our city voted to go "wet" and beer and wine (although not stronger liquor) started being sold in the Wal-Mart we grocery shop in. (There are a couple of types of cheap wine Mom and I have learned we like, and Wal-Mart stocks them now, so we could be very self-indulgently drunk more frequently if we chose to. We're both lightweights, so a second glass of wine is enough to have a serious effect.) I've spotted what appears to be non-alcholic Irish cream substitute on the wine shelf but haven't tried it out.

Date: 2012-02-02 12:20 am (UTC)The art was pretty as all get out *points to icon* but seriously, if you don't like Ult Cap it's everything you don't like turned up to twelve and stripped of all nuance, and if you do like Ult Cap, the bits you like either aren't there or are actively contradicted.
Um, hi, this is my unsolicited opinion.

Date: 2012-02-02 12:44 am (UTC)that scan, hahahaha -- yes, yes... clearly it really was fate.
