Hello Network.

I've just spent the past 72 hours doing nothing but looking at pictures of bath bombs on tumblr, sleeping and wishing I cared about House of Cards, but there is literally no way I can watch a bunch of people lying about being politicans who lie. Sorry, House of Cards fandom. But I watched 13 hours of documentaries about the melting polar ice caps in solidarity, I guess?

Anyway. I read somewhere that it's easier to do one more thing in a day than .. One thing in a day. Like, that having endless time on your hands can actually be unmotivating. So, I pose a question to you:

How do you fill up your day?

But -- there are conditions! in your answer - don't mention your job, or other people. How are you productive in your alone time?





... Yeah, answering "Netflix" doesn't count either.

[Johnny Storm]

I told you so.

[People who placed bets on Gwen's post here]

Well well well, how the tables have turned!

FILTERED TO FRIENDS & FAMILY OF MJ & PETER (minus MJ!):

Keep the 8th open, okay? This awesome lady we all happen to know and love has a birthday on the 9th, but I figure Sunday works best to coordinate stuff. Aaaaand it might even be a semi-surprise if my mouth doesn't run away on me like it usually does. I have a problem. I know, I know.

FILTERED TO JOHNNY STORM:

Y'know, usually it's the mutants that end up bleeding me out when it comes to cash. Wolverine never pays back when he borrows money. Or maybe that's a Canadian thing? I don't know.

Hey, walk of shame aside, you should get over here tonight. We do a thing on Tuesdays where we all sit around the table and have dinner, and usually no fights break out. It's great.

Emails from the White House are about on par with Bruce, it's your turn to try these popular local restaurants in terms of messages I actually read, but occasionally they do come up with something that promises to make for an entertaining afternoon:

Have a question about our changing climate? You've got the President's science advisor at your fingertips.

Since November, Dr. John Holdren has been encouraging the public to ask him anything about climate change on social media using the hashtag #AskDrH. You've been asking -- and he's been answering.

#DrH doesn't appear to have his own Twitter handle, presumably because he's 71 - and perhaps because a good chunk of the questions that have been #asked involve chemtrails. (Carefully-edited responses from senior citizens on behalf of politicians: unquestionably the way to promote credibility with the scientifically-minded voters of tomorrow.) So, here's the latest in my series of indifferent attempts to get people who matter to listen to me for a change: I'm @Criticalitea.

TEXT MESSAGE TO HER TONY STARK

-- You know what's really annoying and makes you want to chuck a book at someone/
-- When they happen to be really tall and decide to sit right in front of you
-- And then they keep moving that you can't see the slides to take down notes
-- SO ANNOYING
-- I'm ready to start making plans for spring break, by the way

What were you saying about putting money where your mouth is?

You're going to need decades worth of practice to get where I am.

So spill now. What exactly happened when Billy apparently broke everything?

I just got an email, daily biotechnological newsletter sort of thing, entitled Mutants vs. Morphants. Now, it was talking about flies, not in the sense that we mean mutants, but I have to wonder, if mutation implies a variation in the X gene, might a term such as morphant be appropriate for those who gained power from the White Events?

This is a very nice place they've given me, though it's very full of things. How many things does one person really need? I understand there's a tavern of some description in this place?

I'm Belgarath. Pleased to meet you all.

[Audrey and Nathan]

Are you two still available to help with my sister's situation?

In my few days spent here, I have decided that the Internet is equally helpful as the HoloNet -- possibly more helpful -- since speaking up against the government does not seem to earn you a trip from your local Star Destroyer.

And all things being what they are I can think of worse welcoming committees than what has been provided.

I found a bookstore, and a history section, and it isn't entirely Imperial propaganda. It's a breath of fresh air.

[Phoebe]

I am preparing myself for patrolling for the full-moon and have made stun potions that may come in handy. I also went out and bought a flare gun in the case that this werewolf might be a wendigo. I highly doubt it's a wendigo, but better to be safe than sorry. I bought an extra one for you, if you want it.

After this whole werewolf problem is solved (please be soon!), lets go somewhere warm for a weekend. You in?

How is everything going with you? Are you used to the craziness of this place yet?

Waiting on Estonia gives us downtime. But we have plenty more hospitals to look through and new leads to find. I'll keep on that; anyone who wants to pitch in and help Sitwell and me is welcome. I can upload a portion of the files where you can see them, Ward. Since SHIELD hit the fan last year, I've also developed some personal projects, namely in stopping human trafficking. If any of you would like in on that, I can keep you apprised and take you with me when I find a hornet's nest. There's kicking ass and helping victims get started in new lives. It's a free offer, no pressure to take it. It's not our objective, and I won't think less of you for wanting to focus on HYDRA. Or there's always looking into Boris Nemtsov's murder uninvited.

Looks like I'm back in town for a few days at least. Do you have any evenings free?

L.L. Bean lives up to the guarantee on their boots, though they were surprised at the conditions mine were in. Still, a fresh set of boots to wear in.

Have you considered trying to graduate early? You know more than enough to be going to college or somewhere else.

Everyone's been trying to reach out to White Event people. SHIELD, SWORD, X-Men, Avengers, anyone who knows anything to help them. We only hear about some of it, but I thought we could look for teenagers, people who wouldn't want to talk with cops or adults who think they know better. We're more like their peers, and if we find them, they may be willing to talk.

I don't know whether I believe the NYPD is retraining 22,000 cops based on the lesson Patrick Swayze's character Dalton from the movie Road House, but it's not bad advice: be nice, don't take things personally. And it's enough reason to watch the movie. If anyone wants in, it is Patrick Swayze.

So hi, hello, some of you may know me or recognize my face. I'm Caroline Forbes, and I am lucky enough to be engaged to one of your own, Hank McCoy. You're his family, and I would like to get to know you better. With Hank's invitation, I'll be eating with you at your home once a week, and I want to extend the opportunity to chat here as well as spend other time together. You're all welcome to come to Fangtasia, where I can be found most nights. My business gives me free time during the day to meet for lunch or other activities, and while I am noooowhere near as fast as Quicksilver (congratulations on beating Barry Allen in that race), I can meet with you in a jiffy, swish swish.

Go Go. Next up after kimchi, Baymax Ramen. Ramax? Baymen? What the heck?? Except it's kind of weird to eat my own bot. I think I'd rather float in ramen too.

It would appear that the guinea pig (for lack of a better term, I've still no idea what SHE is, really), is a she. When I returned from the clinic this evening, I discovered that she'd given birth to a litter of little guinea pigs! And as I really do not have the time for more than one, and since they seem to be nearly as big as she is, I feel that it is only right that I should give the litter away to good homes. So please, if you'd like one, speak now and I will deliver it to you personally.


[ooc: there are still 2 open spots for the plot prompt for today, so whoever wanted one last night and wasn't signed up will get one. dawn summers, definitely. anyone from pen's dungeon friends? helena?]

It's no Buzzfeed quiz but if you like to read, it's useful.

I can say that I do miss the spring.

Spring in Arendelle was quite a sight and one that I am going to miss. I fear I'm also missing Anna's birthday...and her wedding. Neither of which I intended to miss. Not after all of those missed years and the time lost being apart.

There's little I can do about it here, I know. That doesn't make it any easier.
