stoney321Ahahahahaha. Aha. Heh. Um... Okay, so the Post That Took Over Life (or PTTOL) gave me a new strength in my hands, and now I can bend metal. Man, I haven't typed that much since that day of taking minutes for the Hyperactive Freetalkers with Tourettes and Cocaine Addiction seminar. (rimshot) Only two real dissenters, and they basically missed the point entirely. I wasn't saying people can't have OPINIONS. I was saying their opinions were WRONG. Hahahaha. Kidding! I was civil to both, and backspaced over "how do you walk with balls that big, do you have a special chair or something?" because that wasn't NICE. ([eta] make that three people, now.)
Quick heads up to all the lovely people from yesterday that added me to their flist: thank you! Now here's your chance to flee. I'm... Well, I typically a LOT cruder than I was yesterday. I just know how to clean up, is all. I take NO OFFENSE to being "defriended" and consider your flist your READING list. You just take care of your business with no worries from me. Examples: this is who I am (bio). Oh, and this, too. Sometimes I'm this. I'm almost always this, or at least I try to be. If you're standing back in horror now, go ahead and unclick that ticky box. :)
So the post I MEANT to make yesterday was to link up to all the awesome fics that people wrote for my birthday, because how cool is that?! *slides a dollar across the table* So I'm only a day late.
Just an embarrassment of riches! Thanks, guys! (If I missed anything, it's because my brain is mush.)
In other news, I still continue to be bugged that Angela can REALLY REALLY sew on Project Runway. She bugs me as a person, but dammit. The girl has skills. And MICHAEL!! Whuh whuh! The man is too good. What did he say earlier in the show? "I'm no Captain Ho-Saver?" Hahaha. He's awesome. ALSO, due to a great person on my flist, I got my hands on the pilot of Heroes and I am SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED for that show, OH MY GOD. So. It hooked me from the very beginning. Run down premise: due to simple genetics, man is evolving into something more. It's happening in fits and spurts, as evolution always seems to. They totally give X-Men shout outs, for those looking askance. But it's NOT the X-Men Redeaux.
#1, Kudos to NBC for having two of the lead characters be Asian and Eastern Indian, and treat them with respect. The Japanese guy is hilarious, I will say. Funny, TOTALLY into comic books, so he's much more aware of the potential that he's a hero. And his name? Hiro. Heee! (They make it subtle.) The young Texan girl with an AMAZING power is so good. You ache for her. She is just beside herself, trying to understand what is happening to her. What I'm assuming is the main character, a younger brother who is a medic, has a very Clark Kent vibe, and I was instantly bored. Hahaha. BUT. It's mostly the actor they chose - there's something about his lip that bugs me. (I"m weird.) And it's very idol-worship of HIS big brother (and whoa - tone down the sexual tension there, NBC. Or don't. Amp it up, actually. Hahaha.) The Ali Larter character is a weird one. We don't know what her power is - just that it's DARK. I'm totally ready to watch the next ep to find out. Two MAJOR twists in the end, I won't give them away because it will SERIOUSLY impair your enjoyment. I don't know if I'm an idiot for not seeing them coming, or if they just really did a great job of juggling all the balls so I didn't see the twist coming. So. Thumbs WAAAY up from me. Starts in September.
I meant to do this whole summary of yesterday like I did with the fandom kerfuffles, but I'm lazy. So. Off for a jog! Have a great day!

- I was Laura Sued into a chapter of
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moosesal's ongoing Denis Leary RPS (yum.) - Will Ferrell (it is not for you to understand, only to accept about me) was inserted (*cough* not that way) into a lovely Spike/Xander drabble by entrenous88
- My whole FAMILY was Sued (heh) into this hilarious and crack-tastic fic by crazydiamondsue which is here. Warning: humor. More inside jokes than you can shake a stick at.
- cherusha made me a movie (hahaha!) and so did yin_again. Hee hee!
- A smoking hot and spare and raw Angel/Connor (yeah, you read that correctly. It's in your face with it, too. No explanation, just BAM - thank you, ma'am!) by romanyg
- And TWO, count 'em TWO not-really-fics-but-they-are-actually by dovil, who also littered my user info page with virtual gifts, woot!
- They weren't FOR me technically, but chrisleeoctaves wrote S/A/B and also a series of 10 drabbles, and she is a fantastic writer. (I'm getting back to those in five, four, three...)
- There was a nice little snapshot moment from S3 AtS Connor by cordelienne

insane liberal bitches from Texas who just want to garden thankyouverymuchgrey haired old ladies who just want to plant tomatoes with your very personal so-far-right-it's-in-China opinions, then you are just begging for "feedback."p.s. I &hearts you!

Date: 2006-08-10 01:44 pm (UTC)And for the curious, exactly how far *do* you jog?
no subject
Date: 2006-08-10 01:52 pm (UTC)When it's hot like it is now, about 3.5 - 4 miles. When it's nice out, 6. Any more and my knees give out. Yay, arthritis!

Date: 2006-08-10 01:58 pm (UTC)My knife is becoming legendary. I should stick it in something and take a picture of it so you can icon it and threaten people with it *g*
I believe with every particle of my being that running/jogging is evil. All that jostling of internal organs, my bad joints (ankles first then knees), just blech. How long does it take you to get that far? An hour on the short distance days? Longer on the others?
no subject
Date: 2006-08-10 02:11 pm (UTC)My knees are really trying to convince me to stop, but I feel SO GOOD when I move fast... Walking is good, too. I'm a fan of walking.
the short distance takes about 30 minutes. The longer one about 50 minutes. I used to be zippier. My BFF can run 8 miles in about 45 minutes. She's friggin' FAST. (She also runs several marathons a year, tho.)

Date: 2006-08-10 02:51 pm (UTC)So here we talk of mad dogs, Englishmen, and runners.....
Does keep the boy fit though, even if he is trashed after those marathons and half marathons. Cheering at a marathon is bloody boring, btw, you watch them head out and clap madly, then you go walk around for a couple of hours killing time until they start heading in, the winners shortly after two hours and the next thousand or so spread out for the next couple of hours after that. Makes golf look exciting.

Date: 2006-08-10 02:59 pm (UTC)Yeah, I like showing up at the finish line to cheer people on. I'm a sap that tears up as people cross, though. No marathons in my future - the longest I can run on my knees without serious medical attention (I'm due for total knee replacement at the age of 34 - bah) is a half-marathon, and that's painful. 10Ks are awesome. I'm trying to get back into shape to hit the circuit...

Date: 2006-08-10 02:06 pm (UTC)HEROES: new hour drama on NBC, starting in September. Made of kick-ass. Possibly a little whoop-ass as a chaser.
I'm glad you're in a good mood! I'm waiting for my breakfast to settle so I can pound the pavement, wooot!
no subject
Date: 2006-08-10 02:00 pm (UTC)Oh yes. My first thought after I watched the pilot (well second as my first was "Whoa! I need to see more of this!") was something along the lines of "Oh yes, give me another pair of slashy brothers to watch. Because I'm not going to hell fast enough with SPN...."
I didn't see the twists at the end coming either so it's not just you. Of course that could just me we're both idiots... ;)
no subject
Date: 2006-08-10 02:08 pm (UTC)It was SUCH a great show, right?? And that's the pilot! Can't wait for the show to get started! (The chick that likes the medic bro and has the drugged out BF kinda bugs, tho. Just me?)
no subject
Date: 2006-08-10 02:16 pm (UTC)The chick that likes medic bro didn't really do much for me either way and while I liked the drugged out BF's powers, he seemed a bit over the top in woe is me angst about it. (And I did see what he did coming a mile away and just... ew.) But I'm withholding judgement until I see what they do with those characters in future eps.
I love how all the characters' paths keep crisscrossing and look forward to seeing more of that.

As for me (oh, you so asked. You signalled me with your eyes) I'm wearing that Levi's skirt with the shredded pockets I wore at WC? And my hair looks wicked awesome this morning (EXTRA. STRAIGHT. Like that Hake dude) and I'm wearing so much orange lipgloss, it looks like I've been going down on a lady Oompa-Loompa for hours.
HI! So I'm in a swell mood. Shake and bake, baby. Shake and bake. God. You've got to see that movie so I'm not quoting in a vacuum...

Did you or did you not go to Talahdega Nights (no, I'm not going to figure out how that's really spelled kthx) on its opening night? Because I forced Mr Posh to go and sit amongst the teenage homophobic boys just so you and I could be movie-going, Will F-loving SOULMATES.
Mr Posh's fave scene was when he drove blindfolded. Bwah!

Date: 2006-08-10 07:56 pm (UTC)Grrrr. *G*
But PR last night was divine. I'm *so* happy Michael won. Do you listen to Tim's podcasts about it? They're available on iTunes, as well as on the Bravo site. Tim has utter respect for Michael as a designer, as well as some insights into Michael's creative process.
Bradley just needs to put the pipe down for a while, you know? And while Robert's dress was kind of boring, it was *very* Jackie O. I think it should have been Vincent and Bradley as the bottom two.
I'm starting to like Angela, which I do find scary. But she can sew. That dress was *gorgeous* and it was so appropriate. Kayne's, too, was *stunning*. Alison's I could take or leave. Jeffery's was way too OTT for me.
Since I injured my hip last year I haven't been able to run. It makes me very sad. I do walk, though, according to the treadmill at 4 MPH, every day.
no subject
Date: 2006-08-10 10:37 pm (UTC)I didn't mind Robert's outfit, with the exception of the material (linen? No, no, no, no.) and the RIDICULOUS rope belt, that was in no way Jackie O. The jacket's shape and skirt were fitting, just bad material.
Oooh, walking is one of the best exercises around! Low impact, takes a while, and uses almost your whole body! Good for you!!

Date: 2006-08-10 08:36 pm (UTC)So, Belated Happy Birthday wishes!
Secondly: that Hake guy is just scum. I will never buy anything from his company. Also, I didn't even know it was a gardening company from the name...I figured it was some sort of gay pride magazine for outdoorsy types. How wrong was I???
I'm going to look for Heroes. Sounds promising.
