Those who say the Black Widow’s fighting style is just movie bullshit can see the above. ^ Shit is terrifyingly real.

I think I’m in love.

She’s so tiny.

But she could kill me.

Great.

I will reblog this flying head scissors every time it comes on my dash because it’s so fucking awesome.

This is still MY FAVOURITE.

On this day, 20 years ago, I said, "I do."

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how I’ve grown old enough to have been married that long. Surely there must be some mistake.

Love got us started and is still going strong, but in of itself, it’s insufficient to reach such a milestone. Marriage takes understanding, tolerance, compromise, and perseverance. The movies often overlook that. Happily ever after takes real effort.

A column of ten World War II Japanese tanks stand as mute sentinels at the head of my driveway. Seriously. I pass by these rusting hulks so frequently, though, it’s easy to forget just how unique a thing they are. (Photo taken 2013-04-24)

No doubt this nerd chuckle has been around since the days of punch cards, but I encountered it for the first time a couple nights ago. It was on a background poster in an episode of NCIS.

“I don’t solve creative problems (and that’s what books are–narratives that can only be advanced through creative solutions) through some mystical skill of pulling together random things. In fact, I make long lists of possible choices, including the boring, stale ideas that have become cliche. I cross off the dull ones, then I cross off the ones that don’t work, then I keep adding to the list.”

A Good Day for Old Coins

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:12:03 +1200

This morning I found a 1943 nickel in some change. Then this evening another set of change brought me a 1913 penny. (For those keeping score, the former is nearly 70 years old, while the latter is almost 100.)

It makes me wonder how often I’ve blithely passed such treasures from palm to pocket without registering the same subtle irregularities that prompted me to take a closer look today.
