Mnemovore: Nathan, Jean, Shiro, Monet, Marius, and Jean-Paul

...safehouse's location had been chosen well. The squat, concrete building had the majority of its levels below ...of the hall, and down a set of concrete stairs in as many seconds as the speedster ..., eyes narrowing. More cracks spiderwebbed across the concrete, dirt trickling through the gaps. He continued to... glistening chunks that clung to the paint and concrete. At the little red drops that fell from ...

[Thursday]

....  Talking about being straight, he said, "Guys don't have boobs, and hips, and soft cuddly bits.  They're made of concrete and rage.  How can you cuddle concrete and rage?" ASP did in fact get my subscription renewal.  (I left a voicemail yesterday because my check still hadn't been cashed.  The woman called ...

The King of Pop

...'s a freak, that guy was talented. In fact, he may have been the greatest musical genius of our time. At the very least, you can say he was one of the greatest entertainers of the world. I my earliest concrete memories of him were watching Captain EO at Disneyland (aka MJ vs. the Borg). It was so much fun. I always tried to grab that flying guy when he 3-D'ed all close to my face. The music was ...

I bought my first tub of gel medium recently & have been collaging/art-journaling up a storm. (The shredded papers that make up the background in this one are actually the comments I was given at my not-so-great piano exam.. Hence the angry message)

The Trouble with Magic

... Tower, shining like a beacon in the distance. Damn the SHRA. Damn Steve and Stephen for being so difficult. I'll manage, Tony thought, I always do. Tony felt his legs give way underneath him, the solid weight of the door at his back, the chill of the concrete through his coat, under his seat and thighs. He'd move, soon. Tony sat on the step for a long time, thinking about nothing. Fin

First time/help

... is where he’d chosen to die, right before the eyes of his god- and so it would be done. Frederick gave a “tsk” and shook his head. “That is so like you, brother- stone, concrete, unmovable-” The rumble of Kohar crawling away from the wall with a low, animalistic growl interrupted his speech. He barked an order to the rebels behind him: “Hold her back.” Without hesitation, the men grabbed Kohar’...

:D

..., instead. Jim’s mildly disappointed that he didn’t immediately fall for the act, not least because it wasn’t entirely an act. Not that he plans on having his mind changed, but he is hungry for a concrete description, for a frame to hang the shreds of the Vulcan’s memory on. But Pike looks so desperate, so tempted, that it’s only a matter of time. He shrugs. “Money. Power. The call of adventure. ...

Not Quite Sabine [KH/Greek Mythology, Hades/Persephone, R]

... Hades would make them into shapes, and that wouldn't be anywhere near as pleasant. The land was well into spring by the time they finally got there. Theseus had misgivings about this plan. Nothing so concrete as a thought. Thoughts crowded into your mind while you fought, watching the movement of your enemy and not only what he was doing, but what he would do. Little flick of the eyes to ...

Cynicism:: 1/3

... saw her dancing one day, in an alley, just moving to the music that was always ricocheting off the concrete of the decomposing city. She swung her hips, rolled her body, made her chest pop like a mutated ... no real harm; everyone was these days. A bullet whizzed by his head to bury itself in the concrete wall with a crack. “Not me, darling,” she purred as she lowered the smoking gun. He hadn’t ...

Today was one of those peculiar days where I worked fairly consistently, but managed to get very little concrete work accomplished--at least anything you could see. I made some decisions about light fixtures, and worked with my electrical engineer. I think her patience with me is wearing pretty thin, since I've fallen pretty firmly into the role of "fussy-picky-architect," and conversely, she's ...
