Hello out there!

[phyncke]

I am posting in. I have started watching a new show - well it is not a new show but it is new to me - Orphan Black - on BBC America - about a young woman who discovers she is part of an illegal cloning experiment. It is quite compelling television and the actress who plays the girl who is the clone - Tatiana Maslachy is amazing. She plays each clone with nuances and differences and it is amazing acting. I binge watched this show last weekend and caught up on it. It is now in the middle of season 2 so I highly recommend this one. Great television.

Work is heading into summer and somewhat dullsville. I do have lots to do with background and organizational work to do. So there is that. Lots of things to keep me busy. I took today off for a mental health-sick day. Just felt like that was a good idea. I needed a break.

I have gotten into comic books lately. A friend of mine took me to a good store - The Escapist - in Berkeley and I got some freebies and I have started some series. I am reading Black Widow - Natasha Romanov - Captain America, The Winter Soldier and some other - Gambit from the X-Men and a few others. There is a pretty limitless amount of comics to look at and they are cool. I never really got into comics as a kid but they are pretty cool. I love the art work and the story lines. I also love getting freebies so that is all good.

I have some trips planned this summer - I am going to Los Angeles for July 4th weekend and then to Manchester in late July, early August. All family trips. My parents are moving house so I am going to help them with their unpacking etc.

Anyhoo. Thought I would post in and see what is up here. Hope all is well with you. Keeping on here.

If you are reading comics, this site is very good as a reference:

I got lots of info about Cap, Bucky and Natasha there. And which comics to buy. :)

Woo great. Looking at that now. Thanks! :)

Welcome! There is a story about the Winter Soldier, Captain America and the Black Widow. Look for Winter Soldier. It's a long arc. I have bought many of the comic compilations both here and at Amazon. :)

I heard it was a long story arc. I was looking for vol 1 and 2 but there is a compilation I am going to get that has the whole arc - I ordered that from my comic book store. Super excited. I am really liking the Black Widow comic run too. Beautifully drawn.

I am loving the comics, even if Bucky was different in the past. The movies speak about Cap's Howling Comandos, while it was Fury who led them. Then there is the story between Bucky and Natasha, etc. etc. =)

I am just getting into the comics but look forward to reading more. :)

Sounds like a good TV Show - I'll look out for that if it comes here.
Good for you taking some time off for head space. Great you've found some fun reading too. Comic book art can be absolutely amazing.
Some trips to look forward to as well. Yo, for the summer!
Hugs, T. xxx

It is good. I know we talked about it. Hope you can find it.
I needed a day to get my stuff together. I got the house clean and rested. All my trips are family related so I guess that is good.

*hugs*

I'm off with Rob for a week at the Hay-on-Wye Literary festival, now.
Sunshine and showers are forecast, but we have a nice place to stay and the festival is all under canvas, even the walkways.
Hope to come back refreshed.
Hugs, T. xxx

I'm avoiding the Cap A comics because they ruin my personal head canon. ;) Team Bucky/Steve!

I'm good. Feeling better but still recovering. Work is bizzy. Yada.

[phyncke.livejournal.com]

I am curious about the comics and want to see what they are about.
You should take it easy while you are recovering. Hope you get all better. :)

I love Orphan Black! Tatiana is an amazing actress-all her characters seem so apart from each other. I adore Felix! Season 2 we get to see his adorable butt often! :)

[phyncke.livejournal.com]

I know! She is brilliant. Felix is fabulous. I love how he paints and the bum shots. So hilarious. I am loving that show. :)
