One of these days letters are going to fall from the sky

HELLO FRIENDS NEW AND OLD. HAPPY MARCH!

So..here 3 things that smack of goodness:
1. reel_merlin   signups! Seeing as I've been having a bit of fun with fic writing, I thought I'd try to sign up for something like this.  I read the completed entries over there in the fall and then asked myself "Self, what movie would I want to cross over with Merlin?". And then it hit me and refused to go away...I want a Merlinized version of The Fifth Element. With Arthur!Corbin Dallas and Merlin!Lilu. That's right, Merlin is going to be Milla Jovovich, only with magic instead of martial skills and no orange hair. I might be crazy, BUT I'M EXCITED, FOLKS.

2. March! Which means spring is on its way and kayak season is almost here! (Until I get a drysuit and perfect my roll..then it's on all 4 seasons)

3. Explaining plate tectonics to my coworkers using pizza slices and spatulas for props.

And 3 photos I for the road


That's a Sheppard Fairey piece (of HOPE poster fame) near work

   

Took these on the way to work today. I didn't do it, honest!

Ahahaha The Fifth Element, the entire movie I spent my time going: "just watch, it's love!" AND THEN IT HAPPENED and I laughed extensively. But I think Arthur and Merlin could fit quite well.

Oh, I know it's a silly movie...part of the reason why I like it is because it's a "save the world" setup that doesn't take itself too seriously. On a fluffy note, in the movie Lilu is supposed to be a very powerful being and is supposedly the protector of the world, but as it turns out even she needs help and protection too. So I feel like it does kind of fit the Merlin-Arthur framework.

We'll see what happens!

It is definitely not a movie to be taken too seriously. Gary Oldman was an excellent villain (as usual). This is true! I like that, I think if you take that as the most important part it could be quite fun!
