New Found Love, WoW, NaNoWriMo 2011, Work

I have fallen in love...again. It happened when I bought the X-Men: First Class DVD and watched it for the first time in the living room with Mom. See, there's this actor in it (a bunch actually) and he caught my eye. His name is James McAvoy, and he played Charles Xavier. I have liked the previous X-Men movies (though I think I've blocked out 3 and never watched the Wolverine one) and have quite the crush on James Marsden (yes, it is tiring being in love with this many men at once). But First Class... Oh man, I've never been so keen on Professor X. Yeah, Patrick Stewart is cool (he's got a 'sir'), but I mostly watched the first too for Cyclops. I absolutely adore the relationship between Charles and Erik in this movie. It's like the tragic love story of Charles and Erik, and there are some other people there too. I love how McAvoy played Charles. It's very fun, but the character still seems wise beyond his years. The flirting and partying was great (very funny and made the character feel more real), but he's also very adept at filling this role of mentor (parent?) that all the kids (and Erik) truly need.

Also, James McAvoy is adorable. I have a couple videos. I can't share them with the friends that I talk to the most because they haven't seen the movie (for the first one) and I don't want to keep throwing random McAvoy videos at them (the second one, I can only get away with so many before they start to get annoyed).

I advise that you do not watch this video if you haven't seen X-Men: First Class.

This one is from the press for the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I just adore how much he's paying attention while she speaks.

Looking at my YouTube favorites to find these, I realize that I have several more to share.

This one has nothing to do with what I've been typing about. But I love this guy's voice.

And one last thing on the topic of James McAvoy (for now) is a link to a tumblr that has gifs showing James as the 12th Doctor (Doctor Who). This does not yet exist in canon for Doctor Who, but I would love it. http://thetwelfthdoctorandhistardis.tumblr.com/

Moving on, WoW has been going well. New information about 4.3 keeps coming out, so we're in a bit of a slump in terms of staying excited for the content that exists. We have finally conquered the Zandalari heroics. They are still a challenge and we mostly queue up in groups for protection, but we can do them now, and that is fantastic. We gotten some new members. Someone I recruited from the Guild Finder offered to be a recruitment officer for the guild, and it's nice to see another person so excited about us doing stuff as a guild.

NaNoWriMo is coming. I have the 2011 badge up on the sidebar, and I've logged into the new and improved website. I, of course, don't have a plot idea or characters (though if previous years are a sign then my male main character will probably look like James McAvoy).

Work is going well for me. I'm really tired and ready for a day off. This is day 9 of 11 without a day off because I'm spending the weekend with my sister at college. We're also trying to transition to a new way of doing some of the chores and to fall (as opposed to summer), but the weather is confusing people and we're still doing summer business, instead of slowing down for fall and winter. It's making everything quite hectic there, but we're all surviving so far.

Hopefully that is all from me for today. I have one thing I want to look up. Then I have to get my butt in gear and get ready for work.
