So Cookie and I got in the habit of cooking our lunch every evening. But today we had to go out and buy some hot soup - I just love sharing mundane details about my life with you guys, aren't you thrilled? ;-) - because omg it's so bloody cold inside our offices! It's freezing. A couple of my coworkers even brought their blankets at work. Not even kidding. Admittedly, it gives a cozy feel to the place ;-) But I wish they fixed the problem or turned the heat on or something so that I could stop shivering and get feeling back in my hands. I don't think it's asking too much, is it?

How was your weekend, flist? Mine was excellent. Cookie and I spent the whole weekend in Normandy with the family - parents, sis, BIL, nieces, godfather and aunt - and we had a blast. Those little weekends are always good for the soul. We didn't do a lot on Saturday because it rained pretty much all day but Sunday was much better so we went to the marketplace, walked back on the beach, then got out again in the afternoon for a little stroll in another part of the beach. It was so relaxing ♥ I love our family weekends, when it feels like it's just us in the world :-)

Cookie got back with the Cold From Hell, which is not of the good but! She felt well enough yesterday night to go and see The Bourne Legacy for the fourth time. She asked this time! And you should always indulge your girlfriend when she's sick. Especially if it gives you some Renner \o/ My enjoyment of the film was still intact :-) Incidentally, it's not often these days that I feel like writing a fic when watching something but I must admit that The Bourne Legacy made me feel the itch. I know I won't but it's always an exciting feeling. As fun as it would be to write the slash scene between TallCabinDude and Aaron and give them some nice back-story together, what truly interests me is the little revelation about Aaron's back-story. I find it fascinating that he basically lived his whole life with below-average intelligence. He truly is brand new, in a way. I wish the writers had delved into that part of his life much more. And I can't help but think about everything that happened between that little interview Byer was watching on his computer when Aaron is still Kenneth James Kitsom and the time we actually meet Aaron. I mean, how did the transition go? Was it difficult? How did he adapt? How did he relate to the world with his enhanced intelligence, with others? So many questions. So many bunnies for a fic, if you ask me.

It's too bad films don't always cater to your whims. I know that is what fanfic is here for, usually, but as it happens, there aren't that many Bourne Legacy fic, so. Thankfully as far as my Renner fix goes, the Avengers fandom is here to help. Am still - slowly - reading my way through the Clint tag over at AO3. RL is cutting on my fic-reading time, though - only good things, mind, concerts, exhibits, shows etc. - so it might take me even longer to see the end of it. That is, to see me go back to the very beginning of the tag to read the new stories that have been posted in the meantime. A fic reader's work is never done!

Good thing I love reading about everybody else's everyday life :D

Sounds like a lovely weekend, I did laundry and got upset by a book, but I also worked on my latest puzzle :D

Good thing, indeed ;-)

Ah, unexpected upsetting books, never a good feeling. Hope it didn't upset you too much! And that the puzzle made it all better :-)

wow, did cookie see the bourne legacy more than tdkr ?? lol

anyway, I cook my lunch every week end :D It's the best way to eat healthy and without sepending a lot of money! I can have a great dose of vegetables this way!

Turns out, she did ;-) Though she told me to tell you (is that Cathy, btw?) that she would have seen TDKR a couple more times if she'd found people to go with.

Yeah, cooking our own lunch saved us some money, which was one of the reasons why we decided to do it. That and the fact that the place where we usually had lunch was so noisy it really was getting on our nerves and, also, it's easy to pay attention to what you eat, that way.

I would totally take links to Kenneth-to-Aaron fic if you found some! :D

Ugh, it's always RL cutting into fic or fic cutting into RL! WHY CAN'T THEY JUST GET ALONG? (Maybe because we don't know when to stop? lol)

Glad to read you had a great weekend! :)

Should I find some, I'll send them your way!

Maybe because we don't know when to stop? lol)

Well, I can't deny there is some truth in what you're saying!

Thanks :-)

You know, as enticing it sounds to sit wrapped in a blanket at work, it has to be something that's better at home and relaxing and you know, not having to actually work.

But what a good girlfriend you are, going to the cinema yet again to make Cookie feel better *g*

lol Well, we'd all rather be home, wrapped in our blankets, than at work but what can you do, right?

I am a goodfriend, aren't I? Sacrificing my time to go see Renner (hee ♥) just because she asked. She's so lucky ;-)
