hi, interwebs!

Oh god exams.

I've got two days left before I can turn in my papers without guilt, but I really want to be done with them now. On the plus side, today there was lots of packing. Which was good.

I saw PotC the at the midnight showing, but haven't felt the need to say anything about it. It makes me so completely, un-complicatedly happy. It's all the pirate games I played as a little girl with a stunning budget and production values. I have complete glee in it--not that I think I'm necessarily dumbing myself down. It's just, this is a game, okay? Free, unfettered imaginative play. It has different rules than structured, message-y stuff. Pirate Kings! Being Jack Sparrow! Bottle of rum!

...I'm going to see it again Tuesday, at which point I might find some things to say.

Good luck on your exams!

[lotesse]

Thanks! (Though, of course, I'm an English major, so no tests. Just enormous papers. At the moment, I'm not entirely sure whether that's a good thing or a bad one, but most of the time I like it just fine.)

Dittoing the good luck.

I know what you mean about POTC3, I don't really have any particular thoughts to report, it's just a glorious romp!

(I like POTC, because it's one of the fandoms I feel like I have a perfect amount of interest in - for me, I don't like, shun people who are more into it - so I don't really read fic or meta or have icons of it and I don't get upset or angry over the shitty bits but I have slightly more interest in it than Joe Public so I can feel clever ;)

Thanks much.

I'm maybe a little mode into it than that--I'll read the fic and the meta, and maybe make some icons because they're all just so pretty, but I don't really have a whole lot to say myself. It's nice to like things without complication, sometimes.

Heh, I must admit I've been checking out the icon communities sort of hopefully the last couple of days.
(Although for fics, I've still only ever read one - albeit an awesome one, pogrebin's Jack/Barbossa - any recommendations?)
