Just out of curiosity who on my flist is watching Glee? I know some of you, but I'm wondering if there are any closet Glee fans? Anyway, if you were into performing at all in hs (choir, band, jazz band, etc.) you'd probably love the show. Plus there's some interesting behind-the-scenes stuff. I'm not a fan of the humor on the show, but the showpieces more than make up for it. ( See? )

I try to visit Day in Pictures as often as I can.

(Do I need to warn that these promos might be spoilery?)

*purrs*




(PS. When does Sons of Anarchy come back? TUESDAY!

And why does the FX website suck so bad?)

Aha! Found a Sam Crow trailer!

I still think the first Kane album is my favorite. I like the more garage-band feel of the earlier stuff and I don't care as much for the polished vibe of the new stuff, but I do really like this version of Luckenbach, Texas.



Okay, for the first time since... last November? I am almost excited for SPN. Yes, I caved and watched this promo. (the song is awesomely creepy and available for DL on the CW site. Come on, awesome+free=WIN!) Still leery about where Show is going though. And Jim said something at the con that did nothing to allay my fears.


Now that I am mostly recovered from the con plague and the wildfire soot and I have a three-day weekend at my fingertips, I'm not sure what to do with myself. I could sort pictures from Vancouver, read fanfic, try my hand at vidding, work on my recs post for spnroundtable darn that other reccer for reccing vids today. That's what I was going to do (Would it be too pointed of me to do a set of Sam-centric recs?) go grocery shopping, various housecleaning things, catch up on TV, put some stuff on ebay to sell. I don't know what to do with myself when I have too many options and no deadlines.

( stashing my to-do list so I can find it later )


Wanna hear something awesomely creepy and stalkery? My sister's ex from 15 years ago just friended me on facebook. He also emailed her just before she got married a few years ago, but she ignored it.


Does anyone have a good enchilada recipe? I'm craving enchiladas something fierce.

Best way to dispute it if YouTube takes your videos down. Please note that this probably won't work if you're just reupping TV footage.

Unpopular fannish opinion? I think Jared looks more like a zombie and less like a goth in the new pictures. BRRRRAAAAIIINNNNNNNNS. (Okay, an emo!zombie, but still a zombie nonetheless.)

I have three goals for this weekend:
1) Do my income taxes.
2) Install Premiere on the laptop and futz around with it to see how I feel about making a music video.
3) Finish watching both Merlin and Sons of Anarchy.
4) Pay my bills.

Four! I have four goals for this weekend!

5) Figure out if it's worth devaluing my condo to get a better property tax rate.

Five! Five things! /Count von Count

Another thing we are captioning at work is Primeval. Cheesey full-of-plotholes BBC shows are fun! (even though I'm not a fan of time-travel dinosaur shows.*facepalm* And I can't help but point out the plotholes-- such as diving into a canal with automatic weapon would probably render said weapon useless. And sticking your bare arm in a giant prehistoric shark's gullet probably isn't the wisest move. Where the hell is your protective gear, you moronic scientist?)

Isn't there an SPN convention coming up before the LA Creation Con? Is it the one in NJ?

I am annoyed at the way heat moves in my condo this week. I turn up the heat and the living room gets toasty, but the bedroom stays cold. It's the same way in the summer but the other way around. I've got a fan blowing in the LR but it's not circulating air into the bedroom and I don't want to put a fan in the doorway. I think I need to experiment more with fan placement.

I am actually tempted by bpal's 13 blend this time. Mmmm, spicy dark-chocolatey goodness. But do I take a chance and buy a bottle untested and pay an arm and leg for shipping? Or try and swap for one after the fact? Or just settle for a decant?

( Keep me off YouTube )


Also if you remember me pining for the fjords some Smart!Jared fic, you will know how gleeful this thread makes me. Brains are sexy.

YAYE! Daddy managed to fix my dishwasher long-distance!! \o/ My daddy is magic, yo! Apparently they sometimes come unplugged when you're shoving dishes around in the cabinet where the plug is. Who knew?

Then Gretchen came to visit and I dragged her all over creation Long Beach.

( Dialup users, midwesterners and east-coasters may want to skip. =P )


Also I have registration for both Vancouver and Wincon! Off to make plane reservations and then try to catch up on my flist.

N'awww! My Chris Kane love is coming back:



(We have the same birthday. *^_^*)

( Getting sick of the political posts? Check this one out... )

ETA: >.< Video fixed after NBC started pulling them off YouTube.

I'd vote for this guy if I lived in Kansas.

Oh, glee! Coffeemate has brought back their chai creamer in the big bottles! *dances* (They also had something called Black Cherry Streusel or something like that, which I think is a bid to cash in on the popularity of the Blueberry Cobbler. I bought one so we'll see how it tastes.)

( Comic Con! )

In the wake of Generation Kill airing, I find this article about the military censoring journalists in Iraq pretty topical. The NYT has had some interesting articles lately. I'm impressed.

Dear Spooks, I know you find my suitcase the most fascinating thing ever, and if I didn't know that, then the fact that you have been sharpening your claws on it and sleeping on it for the past week might have clued me in. However, now that it has been emptied, it is not your jungle gym/new bed/hidey spot for toys/favoritest place ever. I'm sorry but I need to put it in the closet.


OH OH OH OH OH!! Dexter S3 trailer!


(From Comic Con.)

I'm trying to decide if I should scan my SPN doujinshi at all. I know there's other ones floating around for DL, but I feel a little weird about it for some reason. Interest? Thoughts?


Oh, JDM, my heart!


Okay, I need to clean and do errands, get some cash, eat. I am such a slacker today!

ETA: THIS makes my little geek heart go pitter-pat.
