My workplace was doing seafood demos today and they were delicious. It was a good omen for a day that ended up not half bad! And of course, seeing a message from Babycat can make anyone's day.

I like how you think. My thoughts on what will happen regarding our favorite Avenger, Vision, would probably disturb you. Then again, you might be guessing the same thing anyway. I have a feeling this will happen but I'm hoping not until infinity war actually happens. I also hope that by that time they've figured out how to keep Vizh around without needing the mind stone. They've transferred his consciousness before. In any case it might be interesting - potential "white" or "ghost" Vision? A girl can dream, no? As for Hulk, Ragnarok, etc... I really want to see more good development for Bruce Banner. I feel kind of robbed of that. His verbal sparring with Tony in AoU was pretty good IMO and allowed a nice look at his own code of ethics and such.

Uh... if you're truly curious, shoot me a message. Or read my post in Open Secrets. Sometimes you gotta figure yourself out, y'know? Suffice it to say I am happy to be back at TRF. (:

Coffee is my motivation for getting up in the morning. It drives me to tackle the day. It has me convinced I can do anything, including an 8AM Microecon class or dealing with neurotic customers at an even earlier hour. I wield my coffee as a knight does his shield. With coffee, all things are possible! Also, it's delicious. I'm a big fan of Pear's and Cameron's coffee brands.

Jasmine, by Bharati Mukherjee. For my Critical Approaches to Literature course. It's actually a really interesting read. Bonus if you live or have lived in Nebraska or Iowa.

So, in light of the fact that phase three of the MCU will soon be upon us, I'm reviving this thread. I think I'll go ahead and state, perhaps obviously, that by now we should be prepared for spoilers from Ant-Man and Age of Ultron. Any spoilers for Civil War and Doctor Strange will be hidden. Of course, I am only going off of promo art and trailers. The team line-ups as follows are... I probably will avoid drawing too many paralells between the Earth-616 (primary Marvel timeline/universe) CW and the MCU (also called Earth-199999) since so much is different. There was no M-Day in this series, and several origin stories are different. But perhaps suffice it to say I am really excited for this film. I love Ultron, truly. And it was fantastic to see my precious robot perfect red velvet cupcake, too good for this world and too pure, I... I mean the Vision, finally make his debut. But all in all I wasn't terribly impressed with Phase II, save Winter Soldier. I'm eagle-eyed for any updates on Civil War (because I am hoping a certain couple of misfits are locking lips by the end) but they're starting to release info on the Sorceror Supreme down the road. Any thoughts on either, true believers?

His final delivery of "one moment's high / and glory rolls on by" always sends chills up my spine. Marathon is such an obvious song for a run but man, does it work.

I like this thread; think I'll try to post in it to stay optimistic. Today, I reconnected with a dear friend I hadn't had a decent conversation with in forever, and found out she's come so far from where she was even just a year ago. I'm so proud of her and glad we're back in touch.

I have mixed feelings about the upcoming Deadpool film. On one hand, Colossus is making an appearance. Nobody can keep me from my dear Piotr. On the other hand, the whole movie is about... Deadpool. He really is the epitome of 90's marvel, and I wasn't a huge fan of the whole era from about 90-07 or so, with exceptions. Copper age was kind of eehhh to me. But, who knows; this may well be Fox's turn of the tide when it comes to their Marvel films. More on the topic, I'm a sucker for B movies. It's when high budget films try too hard that I can't get through it. Exception is Stranger by the Lake because I can only take so much of... Some of those scenes... It was gorgeous and even well written but after 30 minutes I decided to spare myself.

I have been super enjoying Marvel Heroes (especially since the latest patch cleaned up some bad glitches). Besides, it's the only game where I can have Vision running past Iron Man and hear Tony remark, "What's the matter, Vizh? Wanda got you down?" This MMO will be the death of me.

Haters gonna hate! Kidding. But honestly, I adore Presto. And not just because my member title comes from the title song. It's my go-to pick-me-up especially if I've had a bad day. Available Light is gorgeous; love love the piano there. Besides, I wouldn't even use the CD case as a coaster. It has bunnies on it! Bunnies!

You know, it's funny, but about five years ago I myself wrote about 54k words of a novel I, too, called 2113. I'm a little sad I'm only now seeing this thread. Not that the story went anywhere, and not that I would ever expect it to get picked up by anyone (if I've learned anything in my quest to enter the publication business, it's that the field is tough to get into), but I am... surprised, I guess.

Aw, thanks guys! It's been so long and it's a long story aha. Might post a bit in NWW but it's good to see familiar... Usernames. Guess you could say I couldn't stay away forever.

I did a Google search for TRF and discovered it was still around. And, miracle of miracles my account still exists! (Hi guys.)
