Nerdiness of Nic

I cannot wait. I'm going to see this tomorrow with my brother and Katie. I would've gone to a midnight show tonight but my brother really wanted to see it with me and he's wiped from studying for the bar exam so he couldn't do a midnight show.

Anyway! Here's a trailer of the awesomeness.



I'm unnaturally attached to Cap because my mom got me a subscription to the Captain America comic book when I was eight years old to encourage my interest in reading and I've been hooked ever since. I know he's not the coolest superhero but he's a good, decent, honest guy and he's somehow not boring (to me anyway) despite this and thus he's my favorite superhero and I think with how great Marvel movies have been lately (I loved Iron Man 2, Thor, and X-Men First Class) that a period piece WWII Captain America movie should kick ass.

Oh yeah! Want an ear worm? Here's one from X-Men First Class soundtrack Love Love by Take That. Which is what I'm sure I'll be feeling about Cap's movie tomorrow. So excited you guys. I cannot wait to see him throw his mighty shield.

Haha. So stupid. I fangirl so much over him.

ETA: You guyssssss! SyFy is showing the bad Captain America movies tomorrow! I don't care. I'm dvr'ing those suckers and recording them for posterity. Awesome.

ETA ETA: Just got back from seeing the movie with my brother and Katie. I loved it! Chris Evans does a perfect job and it followed comic book canon so well I couldn't be happier. Even his original not round shield costume was used! And Bucky! And Peggy Carter! And Red Skull! And Nick Fury! And you guys, don't leave the theater early! Cool shit happens after the credits. Now I'm even more excited for The Avengers. So much awesome. I love Marvel.

Good music like Adele's new album, featuring the song Rolling In The Deep, makes me super happy. Thus I share. Click on the above link to download the mp3 or you can just watch the music video provided below. I really want to see her live someday.

Also, in random fandom news, I have the attention span of a flea and am now obsessed with the Resident Evil movies. Thus proving my attention moving at the speed of light for fanfic projects, I have already plotted out a fic that features Alice/Jill and Alice/Claire shipping in it. I don't foresee it being long. I want to finish and post it by next week to get over my Resident Evil fixation and move onto my unfinished projects.

Anyway! Adele awesome music video away!

This is an awesome cover of Breakin' Dishes by Chase and the Reach. Ahh, I love my cover songs. Seriously. One day I need to do an upload of all my favorite ones to share.

I'm not sure how many folks who read my Whip It fanfics have heard Juliette Lewis' music but if they haven't they really should because it's quite awesome. Which is why I offer it to you in a zip file for download. The zipped folder contains all three cds from Juliette & The Licks as well as her solo cd Terra Incognita. Please enjoy!

Also? It's the evil midnight knitter what knits at midnight!

ETA: MediaFire emailed me to say seventeen people downloaded the file so... lol. I'm glad some of you are enjoying the music! I hate the idea of uploading music to share and no one actually takes me up on the sharing. Because, you know, my mom taught me sharing is good.

I just got off the phone with Suzanna, my ex-gf, who is the most femme woman I know. I mean, she doesn't own a pair of pants nor jeans. Her wardrobe consists solely of skirts and dresses and a myriad of high heels. Anyway! I totally forgot part of her "I'm going out and getting pretty" routine was to play the song I Am Body Beautiful by Salt N Pepa from the soundtrack for To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar while she puts on her make up via the opening scene in the movie. It cracks me up so much she does this. I find it super cute.

Now I totally want to watch this movie again. I know that Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze don't make the prettiest drag queens but they are super fierce in this movie. However, John Leguizamo? So pretty at the end! lol.

My musical fixation with British rapping continues. Missy Elliot shows up a lot of places. I thought couldn't love her more for being on a Ruslana track but this is pretty damn good too.

I'm feeling less sick today but buzzed from meds. My thoughts are less of this episode, which was good even though it had a severe lack of Annie and Aidan, and more on Bianca's status in her various ships and the fans who support them.

( Cut for tl;dr Bianca thoughts. This is just me and my thoughts. I'm not referencing people. I just read a crap load of Bianca/Lena old school fics that have her portrayed as a whiny brat and been to a few Bianca hating boards. )

Honestly, she does. Tamara Braun is a really good crier. Not a skill to be underestimated in the world of soaps. I'm actually going to link and babble about things not All My Children related and it might get long and thus...

( LJ Cut because I'm so nice. )

I'm a gigantic music whore and I love going to see people live. I've seen Pink four times in concert and she gives probably one of the best shows out there. Needless to say, I'm super jealous that one of my friends over in the UK got to see her live giving this performance...


Bastard! I envy you! I've never gotten to see her perform in such an intimate setting. I love her new album like burning, whatever the hell that means, and my favorite song is Bad Influence which you can download at that provided link.
