Three Things Which Are Made Of Win:

1. Water! Falling from the sky! I had forgotten that was possible - it's like a magical miracle making everything clean and wet and cool and green!

Also, with it being hot and windows being open, one of the birds that lives in the tree outside my window has learned to mimic the ringing of our phone. This is only 'kinda neat' unless you realise that I have to wake up to a phone call every morning, and that this bird started singing at about dawn.

2. This theory, which I would never have discovered except for wandering all over Journalfen this weekend, which turns the very end of PotC3 from eeww into Hooray!! Most perfect ending ever!!!

3. Making Up Is Hard to Do, by [livejournal.com profile] china_shop: Fandom/LJ angry make-up sex, NC-17, het, D/s, etc.

I have the feeling this started out as somebody saying "LJ can *suck me*. No, really," but really quickly turned into a love letter to fandom. The only way this could possibly be better is if she'd mentioned that Fandom's well over four times his age. :D

So this bird is stealing the phone's job!

The fanwanky boys in my household have a theory that the reason Elizabeth looks so young at the very end is not in fact that Hollywood is a bunch of sexist, ageist pigs who were unwilling to have Kera Knightly show a wrinkle, but is in fact instead because Elizabeth left the island, adventured with Jack and Barbossa, got to the fountain of youth before them, and therefore hasn't aged a day. As long as they never make a fourth movie, we can buy one of these alternatives is beautiful and real.

They will blow it all to hell in the next movie, of course.
