nerdcakes was here this weekend. She was great. We watched Emmerdale, and went to a very bizarre late-night Simon Amstell gig, and explored the gaping underground chasm vaguely near my flat, and watched Iron Man, and discussed how fandom is just RUBBISH at pairings, and she watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with me, and Arrested Development, and Suburban Shootout, and Dr Who, and today we had a truly memorable experience at the Tales of Robin Hood. It started with a live falcon (which was possibly a different bird), and ended with learning that green dye was actually poisonous back in Robin Hood's day, and in between there was a jaunty song about the rape of the Sabine Women, which it turns out was Sobbin' Women from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than a cheerful incitement to rape sung by and for a band of outlaws in an Errol Flynn-era film, which is what we assumed, but, y'know, memorable all the same. Rape seems to have been a bit of a theme for the weekend. Along with vomit, and people disappointing their dudes.

nerdcakes went back today. I hope she gets home alright, and the trains aren't too weird and Sunday-ish. I assume I will hear at some point.

Pairings nerdcakes and I generally agreed don't get enough fic:

• The King brothers.


• Richard Nixon/Henry Kissinger


• Obadiah Stane/Tony Stark


• Hiro/Ando


• Anyone on Suburban Shootout (I hadn't actually watched the Oestrogen Patch episode before. Dude.)


• Crichton/Scorpius (although I was mostly leading on this one)


• Arrested Development in general


• Anyone good

I love Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. So very. And I love Robert Downey Jr. And yesterday, I went to see Iron Man. I think I might go to previews all the time, or whenever they're on. It was cheaper, there were no adverts, and they showed some trailers from some GREAT-looking movies, up on the big screen. Anyway. ( Spoilers )
