Playing catch-up.

BUSY weekend. Any online energies were spent answering customer emails or following #mooreandme. Therefore... catch-up.

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.


1. Someone who's not afraid to take charge. I'm no passive shy violet, mind. But just like the umpteen million people out there with strong day-to-day personalities, I have a big thing for ravishment fantasy. Pull my hair, pin me down, the works.

2. Having my neck nibbled / petted / massaged.

3. People who are sexually honest. Granted, I'm kind of past the phase in my life where I have to worry about if whoever I'm dating is telling me the truth about their sexual life & history-- I'm currently monogamous, and I take our boundaries seriously. But even with play partners and the like: shoot straight. "I'm in an open relationship; here are my boundaries" is INFINITELY sexier than lying about who you're with. You're a billion times more likely to get laid if you're just upfront and open about what's going on with you.


Looooong weekend. Saturday was order packing / braving the post office / cleaning the bathroom / bathing / going to Crucible with a friend. Sunday was making double chocolate pancakes for three, taking a nap with the husband, then getting up for a date: sushi at the rotating bar in Towson, then Black Swan. J was super excited because he'd worked creating digital models for the movie from 3D scans of Natalie Portman (DDI took them, but I couldn't tell you before now!). Presumably they were used in some of the transformation sequences where they needed very accurate body data.

Anyhow, I really liked Black Swan, even though I definitely covered my eyes through a lot of the bloody bits. I think it could be a freaking metaphor for Natalie Portman's career*: I have not seen her give such a deeply felt performance since The Professional / Leon... she usually comes off as completely wooden or the same old thing over and over (see: Manic Pixie Dream Girl). And her commitment to the dancing was very very admirable.

I keep meaning to talk about other movies I've seen lately that I really liked; The Secret of Kells was a headrush of amazement, and I liked Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World far more than I should have liked any movie starring Michael Cera. But for the moment, I have a few last minute pieces to make before I have to ensconce myself in PMC World for the remainder of the day. Ta!


* Uh, you know, minus the ending.
