A to Z challenge, day 15 - letter O

Blogging from A to Z Challenge continues with day 15 : today's letter is O and I have two posts for you today.

O is for Otherworldly - over at my Tasha's Thinkings Blog. I wrote fic for today's post, and it is called 'In the Fog'. There is also an mp3 version if you would rather listen to it; it's embedded in the page and also has a download link.

and

O is for Orchestra - over at FB3X for Drabblerotic. Just a silly little drabble with instruments :).

Review: Oblivion - Not bad, but not great and with more holes than plot.

Title: Oblivion
Rating: 12A
Cast:
Tom Cruise ... Jack
Morgan Freeman ... Beech
Olga Kurylenko ... Julia
Andrea Riseborough ... Victoria
Summary: Jack and Victoria are part of the clean up team on earth after there has been an invasion of aliens that has basically destroyed the planet's eco system. The invaders are still on earth, so Jack and Victoria maintain and protect the giant fusion generators that are using sea water to store energy. Almost everyone else has gone to Titan and soon Jack and Victoria will be going too. Only Jack's having doubts about wanting to leave.

Now let me start by saying this is not a bad film. I did not come out of watching it demanding I get those hours of my life back, but, I could also never watch this film again and still be perfectly happy.

So, all in all, if you like Sci-Fi and/or Tom Cruise and you have a spare couple of hours, go see it. If you don't, IMHO, you're not missing anything.
