thoughts (somewhat) aloud on Pirates, next edition

"Gillette. Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it," could creatively also mean "don't let the redcoats go off and shoot him." except whatever, the redcoats wouldn't shoot him, but there gets to be a point where, even with Sparrington, you're scraping the barrel for subtext.

also -- apparently when writing the mutiny sequence in Psalms I forgot that um, if it's windy enough for them to have to take in sail that severely, the deck's not gonna just stay nice and level. in fact, it's going to not-stay-level enough that I might want to toss in a phrase to that effect, or something, while writing. oops. ...live and learn.

back to the movie; let's see how far I get tonight :)

esta noche te prometo que no vendran / ni dragones ni fantasmas a molestar

LOOK! WHALES HAVE GRAMMAR!

so after somewhere between three and a million people tagged me to do this...
THE GUILTY MEME! meh.

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	bacon	it goes against all my self-imposed dietary guidelines – it's meat, it's ridiculously fatty and stereotypically unhealthy… but BLTs and bacon/eggs and/or bacon/cheese combinations make me happy
Literary:	'Animorphs' books	yes, I still go back and reread them. Ax is funny, dammit!
Audiovisual:	Batman, Justice League, Batman Beyond, Static Shock cartoons	I have to slink into the kids' section of the library to get them. >.>;
Musical:	Pokemon: The Movie soundtrack	you. say nothing.
Celebrity:	Keanu Reeves	every once in a while, I like to lie to myself and claim the boy can act. he can't. but he usually manages to find roles that don't really need it… and he's fucking pretty.

bla bla bla I'm going to make someone else pick 5 people at random off my flist to do this.
__dtrain, wulingyi, jenlan, phurie_dae, british_pickle
if you've done it already you're off the hook.

[ETA:] ganked from mme_of_achilles:

Where you died in your past life:

'Where did you die in your past life?' at QuizGalaxy.com

AHA! I died at sea! YAY ME!

it's a marvelous night for a moondance

I just wanted to share the fact that tonight Bruce and Kitten are out on the balcony dancing to Van Morrison's "Moondance" (click link to download).

( lyrics )

...they're adorable. (just don't tell Bruce I said so!)

[ETA: Kitten is wearing a sleeveless, plunging-neckline floor-length slinky-sparkly black dress with a slit up the side almost to where Bruce's hand curves on her her waist. Her hair's swept back in gentle waves, but a few curls have slipped free and they frame her face and seem to fascinate Bruce -- as though he isn't enthralled enough already! He's not as dressed up as she is -- no suitcoat, but his powder-blue dress shirt looks like magic under the stars and against his almost-black tie. Van Morrison's voice drifts through the open glass windows that double as doors -- she hadn't known Bruce Wayne kept an extensive record collection, but he's just full of surprises and mysteries, isn't he? She hopes none of the less convenient surprises show themselves tonight, because the night air would be much too chilly to bear without his strong, warm arms wrapped around her, holding her close enough that he can whisper the words to the song in her ear and tickle her neck as his puffs of breath move her errant locks. She sighs softly and is infinitely glad the sky above shines with starlight and moonlight, and nothing else at the moment.]
