commotiocordisI have been knitting a hat. Sort of making it up as I go along, though. It's in this pretty yarn I got for free, though--all multicolored, though it sort of ends up all together purpleish if you look at it like a blur. I stopped, though, because I can't decide what to do next, whether to put in another little stitch-stripe thing or not.
This is big for me, though, as usually I just knit with no destination in mind, and more often than not just experiment and then rip it all out and play with the same yarn again (resulting in the outermost bunch on the ball of most of my yarns being all sort of untwistedlike). Though sometimes I turn what I've made into something (I've got a really pretty purse type thing I made with just plain knit stitch something like 3 or 4 years ago that I should take a picture of sometime), usually not. So I hope this works. (Though I think it may be too small for my head, as my needles aren't long enough to carry that many stitches, so I may end up giving it to my sister.)
ANDANDAND I found this "Where In Time is Carmen Sandiego" book from ages and ages ago in my basement. It's sort of a choose your own adventure type thing, but it's bits hard to play without the cards from the middle of the book that got ripped out and lost ages and ages ago, because you have to use the descriptions of the suspects that the people you talk to give you to pick the right person who stole whatever (because it's not always Carmen, as she has bitches to do whatever she doesn't want to do), and the dossiers of her V.I.L.E. Henchmen (I can't believe I remembered that that's what they're called) are on the cards. Still. CARMEN.
I had this Carmen Sandiego plotbunny a while ago that just popped back into my head. It was Carmen Sandiego/Jean Grey (from X-Men), and Carmen stole all the X-Men's powers, so Jean has to sex her to get her all vulnerable so she can steal them back. Because you know how in the show/games/books they always steal impossible stuff? It's like that. I think I must write that. I'll prolly have to enlist Katie in the caper, though, because she knows the X-Men universe, and though this isn't going to be close to/rely on/even look like it's ever gotten near canon, it's going to have to take place more or less in the X-Menverse, and I only remember about 1/3 of what she tells me about it and the people therein.
AND LJ COMMENTS ARE STILL GOING INTO MY INBOX SOMETIMES AND IT IS LE FRUSTRATING.
Edit: There is a raccoon or sommat on my freaking roof. It just bounced really hard on it. I shake my fist at you, random mammal, as you are loud and startling.

my pants are screaming "NO!"
lololol. Yah, and evil!Jean was hotter anyhow, so I think we can just leave her be, kthx. Or, I mean, they always come up with a way to stop the evil powers in everything. Can't they like run her through the Star Trek transporter beam backwards while reversing the polarity or something? That'd prolly separate the good from the bad! (And there's a canon--well, book--X-men/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover. Perfect.) Except then she'd feel a bit like she lost a part of her, so she has to go for counseling with Deanna Troi, who is a hot alien babe, and we all know what comes from that.

I either laugh or cry during tragic death scenes. But the whole "NOOOOOO! *heartbreak*" thing is hard to pull off, IMO, with it being such a cliche and all), but I think I felt it with Wolverine.
and we all know what comes from that
lololol. Indeed we do.
And that's a good theory you have there. I still maintain every filmwriting team should have at least one fangirl on it. WE KNOW BEST, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.
