IDK if you guys have noticed, but LJ changed its comment pages and folks have some opinions on the matter. ( in which I am belgium. )

NOW TO FUN STUFF.

1. Posted my Yuletide! After having to default last year, this feels SUPER AWESOME, and I am really excited about what I wrote.

2. HEY SPEAKING OF FIC, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO TO A HAPPY PLACE FULL OF RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE AND HOMOSEXUALITY, bo_lauren is having an AWESOME FICATHON. IT IS ALSO FOR ICONS AND FANVIDS AND IDK YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF INTERPRETIVE DANCE, WHATEVER YOUR JAM MIGHT BE.



At the very least, go leave some prompts, goddamn.

3. Oh god, time off is the best. Planning to play tons more Skyrim and write a lot of really embarrassing fic about Bo and Lauren making cookies and having winter hat fetishes and calling each other pretty.

Hey guys, apologies for the fact that this LJ has become 90% ALL LOST GIRL POSTS ALL THE TIME. If you start watching that show, those will seem less irritating, I bet. :D?

In other news:

1) thrace_ has lured me back onto WoW, with promises of shiny trinkets and self-esteem once I level to 85. IDK if I believe her, but I have been told I have to finish slogging through Outland before I can really pass judgment on the above-60 content.

2) Fringe this week gave me an absurd amount of feelings. ( briefly, under the cut. spoilers/possible trigger warning )

3) In less depressing news, HOLY FUCK BECKETT'S HAIR in this week's Castle. And I mean, also everything else she did, and the plot of the episode. But mostly I sat there going "God, she's so pretty," while GF made fun of me. This is kind of a theme for me, when I watch Castle.

4) Don't forget: there is more Seeker Rewatch happening at sword_of_lies this weekend. I want someone to do some sort of tally of the number of times Kahlan and Richard hook up without it "counting," because SERIOUSLY. Possibly with video.

Possibly that person will have to be me, WHATEVER.

LOL YOU GUYS I CAN'T EVEN.

( pirates vs. ninjas vs. zombies vs. pandas )

This is a phone game. That actually exists. I cannot even, how did the world become this wonderful.

In conclusion, I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION HERE IS, DOES THIS MAKE thrace_ THE ZOMBIE, OR THE NINJA.

God, this week is not long enough. I thought I had four days to organize my life, but it feels more like two. It's summer, isn't that time when you're not supposed to have any responsibilities and you can sit around in your pyjamas playing video games until noon? I feel as though I have been lied to.

Anyway. A few things, briefly:

+ I am really really enjoying playing Dragon Age: Origins, and would like to maybe beat it? However oh my GOD, the hours upon hours of listening to voice acting. It feels like an eternity every time I have to pump someone for information, which is MOST OF THE GAME, and UGH I JUST WANT TO KILL DEMON BEARS ETC. I also want to figure out if I can make my (female) character hook up with the sullen swamp witch.

+ Olivia Dunham Olivia Dunham Olivia Dunham. Like, just in case you guys forgot that she's my new TV girlfriend.

+ Unrelatedly, I was thinking that there should probably be, like. An actual femslash comm for Fringe. Maybe.

[Poll #1598984]

Sigh. I need to pack. And probably start my femslash10. Also the cat is positive that I'm neglecting her.

Here are some thoughts I have had today.

1. Unffff, Leighton Meester's VOICE. It makes me think of bad lighting and hips. I speak, of course, of the Cobra Starship collaboration that everyone is freaking out about, ALTHOUGH ALSO JUST IN GENERAL. I swear to god, that girl could sing the phone book and I'd pay money to listen.

2. I was going to mention, again, how Ashley Tisdale's twitter makes me happy. But then girlboymusic started making fun of me, so NEVERMIND GUYS, SORRY YOU MISSED OUT.

3. I saw Wolverine yesterday, and basically: ( this is not a spoiler. ) THEREFORE, this movie will win ALL OF THE OSCARS. Except possibly the ones that go to Transformers 2, because that movie has the potential of having a HELICOPTER punch ANOTHER HELICOPTER in the face.*

4. The Scrubs finale made me tear up a little, OF COURSE. It was not as emotional for me as the one where Dr. Kelso retired or the one where Laverne died, but it was pretty close. Guys, I have so many deep and complicated feelings about that show. I have watched it for so long, and it's so comforting and sweet and one of those shows where I can just pick a DVD and find something that I forgot I loved as much as I do. Also, I want to be JD when I grow up.

In other news: my dwarf warrior in WoW is at level 40. This is exciting, if you are me, but oh my god I am sick of Stranglethorn Vale. (That is the name of the level I am working on.) Whoever designed that map should be forced to PLAY IT UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

*(Also: please note, comics fans, that I did not at any point comment on the validity of a story about Wolverine's sibling issues as an art form. THAT IS HOW YOU DISCUSS SOMEONE ELSE'S FANNISH LOVE RESPECTFULLY. You may want to take notes, in case you are ever, IDK, watching HSM or Hannah Montana or anything with Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens OR WHATEVER and feel the need to share your thoughts and impressions.)

So, Watchmen. I. . .still have no idea.

( spoilercutting for a movie based on a book that's been in print longer than 10 years. BECAUSE I CARE. )

And this may be my point. I don't know if the Watchmen movie was good or bad, because I am still trying to decide whether or not I even respect the story that Moore is trying to tell, and I suspect the answer is "no, I totally don't."
