everything but the girl

Some of the district-specific Hunger Games posters were released today, and I think I finally found a use for my Tumblr. I still have no idea how to link to the exact post, but they're from Seat42f, and I put them up here and ( behind the cut )

The District 4 one isn't up yet, but the Facebook page where it'll be is here - how could I be from South Florida, ocean-touched and boat-surrounded as it is, knowing that in the world of Panem it's all under water, and not have an affinity for District Four?

Gah, I really hope this film is all it can be. And in other news, I am back home and hopefully not leaving the state for the rest of the year; Orlando is far enough to travel for a few months, including this weekend for the Ascendio site visit.

If you're newly on Pottermore, I have a poll asking for what your username there is - it's here - I'm WingSpirit211 (Ravenclaw) but I haven't been in there in over a week because of the holidays and travel.

Am finally caught up on Supernatural (YAY and I also LOVELOVELOVE my spn_j2_xmas prompt!!), saw Glee tonight (good songs, Will is annoying, and I have no idea if they're going to take any of the real issues seriously (including the Don't Hurt Rachel's Feelings ludicrousity) beyond this episode, and I want at least two of Rachel's dresses) and the second half of the Doctor Who finale, but I think I have to watch the first half of the ep for the second half to make sense. Tomorrow, at the gym, maybe.

The boys are off on a golf trip this weekend with my parents, so Catie and I have been doing a lot of mommy-daughter stuff, like swimming and going to the Science Museum in Lauderdale and hanging around the bookstore, and things that can get complicated when trying to run three kids of very diverse ages and interests around the town.

Had an incident at Target yesterday where the checkout-person, who's supposed to enter the last four digits of the credit card, screwed it up and charged the whole thing to the card three or maybe four times, and each time the computer told her it didn't go through, but I managed to call Aaron and tell him before he got the "Your Account Has Issues Now" email from the credit card company and they sorted it within five minutes, but still, is there anything more annoying than spending over an hour stocking your kids' camp clothing (bags of socks and shirts and batteries for reading after dark) to find out that you can't walk out wiht any of it because of the clerk?

Teach me to stop shopping at Target (and yes, I know the issues but when it comes to camp shopping, my options are basically Target and Wal Mart and neither are very good options. And at least Target gives a portion of the proceeds to our elementary school).

Luckily, Catie had a book while we were waiting for all of this to be solved, and I had Hunger Games-verse fanfic.

Yes, I finally read all three of the Hunger Games books in a two day spiral into madness last Sunday and Monday. I've been waiting to read it because I wanted to read it with Harry, but he told me he wants to read it at camp with his friend Dawson, so I ended up downloading all three to my kindle-app and read them switching between my ipad and iphone.

( See the icon? Yeah, spoilers for all three books. )

Are there any icons without the movie cast? I would love at least one "May the odds..." icon in a color I like, and yes I appreciate the irony.

This week is a week to finish a slew of Harry Potter and Supernatural fanvids, the former for my Leakycon project (although I may post them online beforehand) and the latter for the amazing, creative BigBang fic I am vidding for. If you haven't seen the vid/trailer-for-the-series Through the Pensieve, you should check it out. It's the kind of thing that makes me feel juvenile and incompetent re the vid I made for lubricus2011 over the last few weeks. Sigh. Still, must finish the ones I've planned to do, if only to get them out of my head.

ETA: Me on tumblr, finally. Thanks to jlh for helping me figure out how to set up an account, GAH!
