Magma is molten rock beneath the earth's surface  
(or, Megan had no idea what to call this.)

Bridal shower was a success. Although, by success I mean that Lauren loved it. Becca and I were the only two members from the bridal party that showed up. So we had to do all of the setting up and then had to pick Lauren up. Matthew was supposed to bring her, but his mother was in the hospital. And then pretty much everyone from his side of the family didn't show up. Lauren loved all of her gifts (Becca and I got her some Pyrex).

Afterwards Becki and I had a ~serious~ talk about how Lauren is now in a different phase of her life and that even though we feel awkward with her right now we will just have to find our feet again and then things will be okay. Then she came over and we had delicious chili and watched Infested!

Yesterday was supposed to be bingo for my H_E badgers but no one showed up. I'm going to plan a chat for Friday, but idk if I'll try bingo again. Several people had expressed interest, but I don't feel like wasting another afternoon waiting around for people to show up.

Afterward that big ol' failure of an in-house activity Mom and I went to see MI: Ghost Protocol. I really enjoyed Pegg and Renner in it but I really wish that Paula Patton's character had more of a role besides "emotionally compromised agent who keeps screwing up who's sole role is then to seduce a rich businessman." She really didn't do anything and then got shot (but survived) in the last major scene so she didn't even get to take part in that.

I mean, I was expecting as much. But it still sucks when it happens.

I did have to close my eyes several times when Cruise was doing the stunts on the Burj because I literally almost threw up since I'm so scared of heights.

I loved the music, but since it was composed by Giacchino, I sort of walked in expecting that.

Although I am now totally on the William-Brandt-is-Hawkeye train and nothing you say can convince me otherwise. (Also, that scene before he jumps down that big ol' shaft and he's doing all of those stretches in that suit? UNF.)

Then I came home and commented on Becca's FIRST EVER LJ entry (awww my baby is growing up) and then promptly went to bed because migraine.

Woke up this morning and I was wheezing and felt like I had several cats perched on my head and shoulders so I cancelled my plans to run errands. I think I watch yesterday's Once Upon a Time and Pan Am and then move on to Alexa Vega movies. And then depending on how I feel I may start Adventure Time because Becki keeps bugging me to watch that.

It's too bad that badger bingo didn't work out! I want to come but I just don't have that kind of dedicated computer time until after the kiddo goes to bed. *is a lame old person*

Yeah, it kind of bummed me out but oh well. You are not a lame old person! You are just an awesome person who will not ditch her kid for internet stuff. I would be really concerned if you were leaving her to run about just so you could play bingo.

lthough I am now totally on the William-Brandt-is-Hawkeye train and nothing you say can convince me otherwise

I WAS READING FIC LAST NIGHT BEFORE FINALLY SUCCUMBING TO THE MIGRAINE AND I LOVE THAT TRAIN.

I am watching Pan Am right now. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE WARNING.

IT IS A HAPPY TRAIN OF WONDERFUL AND YOU SHOULD POINT ME TOWARDS FIC IN FACT.

Pan Am has slightly less feelings. BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY. It was a feelings night for the tv.

HERE IS FIC: After the Mission (Clint/Coulson), The Many Faces of Clint Barton (also crosses with SWAT, but you don't have to have seen it to read and enjoy), We're (Maybe Not So Really) Screwed. IF I FIND MORE I WILL DIRECT YOU TOWARDS IT.

Oh god oh god it is really good so far. And I am only just past the opening credits. Looking really forward to OUaT.
