1. Moving sucks. BUT! The new house is lovely. All big furniture items are moved, the dogs have explored every nook and cranny of the new place, and we've met...four different neighbors! Who are all v. friendly. I think my dad's making a Guy Friend with one of the neighbors. THEY DRANK BEER ON THE PORCH TOGETHER. IT WAS ADORABLE. 
2. My Crazy Uncle has decided that my mom's offer of the entire basement as an apartment basically rent-free is not generous enough, because the washer and dryer have to be down there and he cannot handle that. So he's in a hotel now. Somewhere. Or possible he's donated all of his belongings to a Goodwill and gone back to being homeless, which was his back-up plan. *headdesk*
3. No internet at new house yet. Will be even more out of touch the next week or so. SO SORRY! 

Question for flist: 

Working on a XMFC beach-aftermath fic, but I am historically/geographically stupid. What possible options are there for the team getting off the beach? What hospitals would they be close to? Would said hospitals have helicopters? Are there Canonical Facts about what transpired?

I'm going to see the movie again later today with my mom and hopefully Little Sister, who I bribed with an explanation about how the Xavier/Magneto divide was based on the different ideologies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.  She's been a King fan since she was a toddler. She used to sit everyone down and recite facts about Marfin Lufer King. (I miss her speech impediment.) 
Back to writing. Half an hour before the movie, then will be spending the rest of the day packing up shit at the old house and hauling it to the new place. 

HOW ARE YOU GUYS? GIVE ME UPDATES!

My reasoning: X-MEN ORIGINS WAS TOO CRAP TO EXIST. (Except, of course, for Tim Riggins Taylor Kitsch as Gambit.) Nothing in that movie actually happened.

Seriously though: the comics rewrite things when different writers/creators take over storylines, I figure same things happen with the movies. Different takes on the same canon.

You know, I consider it a deliberate AU. Which makes me happy because it does NOT have to end the way we saw in the other trilogy OR comic books...

Right. Well, I guess that kinda explains it. Like I said, I'm not really active in the fandom (and I've never read the comics), I just enjoy the movies. And I wasn't aware of the fact that they're supposed to be AUs to each other. Oh well... I'm gonna keep watching, whatever the next pre- or sequel is going to be.

I'm not sure if they are or aren't supposed to be AUs, officially, I mean. But there's just enough things different that it can't be an oversight. Well, in any case, it makes me happier that way ^_^
