Why is that a rule? Does anyone know?
1. (via
snowynight) Ten Things You Should Know About Comics by Alex Zalben. This is the most accurate and concise summary of how Big Two superhero comics work that I've ever seen. Go read. If you don't read comics, it'll tell you what's going on. If you do, it's worth a laugh.
2. Precious Polish. It's a blog about nail polish. I like it. I never have either the time or the colours to do much of this stuff, but the tutorials work well, and the designs are pretty. Plus she and I have the same approach to cosmetics, which is ALL THE COLOURS!
3. Fic rec:
Title: In Which Cougar Always Looks
Author:
resonant
Fandom: The Losers (2010)
Words: 2,400
Rating: Explicit (sex, violence and some gore)
Summary: There were many things Cougar would have liked to unsee, but the world didn't work like that.
Notes: Leaving aside that it's a story for ME! (and that I've been hopelessly lapse in not reccing it until now), this is a fantastic story. Cougar/Jensen from Cougar's wonderfully self contained, cutting and beautifully honest point of view. I love the slow build to the relationship, Cougar's insights into the team and their work, and all the lovely little turns of phrase.

I like the one about seeing and unseeing. That was good. Comics summary made me laugh. And I really need to break out my polish again...don't think I've worn any since I last saw you!

I did those purple and copper nails, but have them super short now. May do something at Easter.

Date: 12 Mar 2012 09:06 (UTC)Nail polish blog was pretty. Something I never even bother with, because my nails are perpetually too short, and never shaped properly. Just can't seem to manage it.
