morgandawn's XMen 2 Awards, they made me giggle a lot.
I'm also a couple of chapters into the novelization for X2 and am liking it very much already. Yay Chris Claremont for taking on the duties and knowing the characters and their powers intimately enough to write them well. Also yay for a few extra bits of character development and interaction! Here's hoping he also managed to tie up some of the loose plot points. As soon as I finish the book I'll be happy to loan it out to anyone who'd be interested. So far the bit that kicked my ass was the list of books and movies Nightcrawler owns, yay pirates! It made me dream of a swashbuckling Kurt in the next film *happy sigh*
Also Aelf and I have decided that we need to see the movie withtechnocowboy at some point, the Nightcrawler Fanclub (Bay Area Chapter) just needs to go together, don't you think? We also spent last evening re-reading Kitty's Fairytale and the Nightcrawler miniseries. Heh, Bamfs...
Speaking of my favorite fuzzy elf, here are some really cool wallpapers you might want to check out:

Also public service announcement time for anyone who wants to learn to drum:
Build-A-Drum workshop with the Stan "the Drum Man" Secrest!
May 10th & 11th at the Psychic Eye BookShop, 1128 El Camino Real, Moutain View, CA 94040
650.964.2220
Work with Stan Secrest, a man who lives and breathes drums, to create a quality drum of your very own! Choose from African and Native American style drums, and have a lot of fun making and understanding your drum!
To allow for the maximum of time for you to work on your new drum with Stan, the workshop hours will run the same hours the store is open: Saturday: 10am-10pm and Sunday: 11am-7pm, with breaks in between. It is possible to attend for just one day, depending on the style of drum you choose:
"As with most things, all good things take time, and so it goes with drum
building. In the one day workshop, participants have sufficient time to assemble and complete the Native American style hand drum. While they are the exception, there are those who can begin and complete the African style drum in only one day. As a rule of thumb, it's best to plan for two days if you'll be building an ashiko, or djembe."
Other than a list of things you'll need to bring with you, such as gloves, a blanket on which to work and a few other sundries, the only requirement is your enthusiasm and eager hands!
Choose from the following drum styles:
22" Ashiko (12" head) 115.00
28" Ashiko (12" head) 130.00
24" Djembe (13" head) 135.00
27" Djembe (13" head) 140.00
3"x 16" Native Frame Drum 105.00
(Pictures of styles available at http://buildadrum.com/whichdrum.htm )
The price listed includes the materials to make your drum and workshop time.
To register for the workshop, you can email Tempest at tempest@meddevi.com with:
-your name
-phone #
-first and second choices in drums
-preferred email address
or call The Psychic Eye *after* May 1st to register. There is limited space available, so if you pre-register with your credit card, or in person at the store beforehand, your spot will be secured.

Also, the look Alan Cumming decided on for the opening, which still makes me giggle.

But they are really close to Flames. :)
