Dear Brendan:
You win at Christmas. Oh my God his wee little head!
To the rest of the world: I will explain, but I believe my sister wants Lauren to see in person first, so it may be a week.
Wee little head!

Quote of the day once again goes to Jacque, who is rackin' em up lately.
Jacque: *setting up Nativity scene and talking to the cat* Loki, I remember you stampeding through downtown Bethlehem last year, when you were little. It was cute then, but no.

A while ago, I posted a ficfest based squarely in the concept of "kitty". Here's a collection of the resultant fics:
( The Pie Hole denizens + kitty )
( House + kitty )
( Wilson and Cameron + kittens + lyrics from an angsty-type song )
The fabulous K-Legal has also provided a ficlet.
The challenge is still open, by the way! Request kitties, provide kitties, no one will complain!

Jacque: I have been watching the TV, and it says that you have to give the ladies the lumps of compressed coal, or they will not love you. That is not true.
Jim: There's only one thing I have to give the ladies to make them love me.
Jacque: Please don't thrust that at me.
In other news, getting sick the *day* you're supposed to sing all two-and-a-half hours of Handel's Messiah? Is not cool.

Loki the Enthumbed, our super-adorable shorthair kitty, was cuddling me at the same time I was reading fic. So I thought, "I know! I'll do a pussy challenge!"
Name a character, or two or three, and I will write a snippet with said character(s) and a kitty. Or, you could write me a snippet with a kitty. It's basically a kittyfest, here. Fire away.

My local comic book store is having a sale; would anybody like me to send them DCAU tie-in comics for Christmas?

Oh dear lord! That's-- I-- He threatened a teenage boy with porn!
*spontaneously combusts*
I also watched the clip of "Not While I'm Around". I'm going to cry at this movie, aren't I?

This is my week for finding weird porn, I guess.
First, I was poking around Teland and discovered... Diablo porn! Like, yes, the computer game Diablo. Yes, of course it was slash. And actually, I'm not sure it really counts as porn. I mean, it seems pretty explicit--I got called away just when I was getting to the actual sexings, and haven't gone back yet--but there's a lot more of it than just the sex, so... And! Her characterization? *Better than I found in the game*! How cool is that?
Second... Dr. Who coat!porn! No, really! Coat!porn. Which is *adorable*.
Huh.

I think Speed Stix may have been created by Satan. No, seriously! I dare anyone out there to show me one truly beautiful item of clothing created on them. Go on then.
...
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Satan.
Eta: Two more things.
One, I have Teh Sick, which means that I must *stop* knitting Christmas presents, because contagion is the gift you should not give! Which in turn means the cat is getting another neckwarmer/playtoy from what I've already done. (Swatching! It not only makes your knitting look better, it keeps the cat from Helping!)
And two... In fuzzy, feathery yarn, no one can see you cable.... (Well, it amused me, anyway.)

I've been watching an awful lot of Pushing Daisies lately. I completely blame Brendan--curse you, Brendan!--for getting me into it; I told him I'd watch PD if he would watch Eureka, and as a result I have basically stopped my short-lived obsession with Eureka (although the denizens of Coeur d' Coeur running amok in Eureka and/or vice versa is a terrible, beautiful thought.) But I do recommend the show; it's funny, adorable, well-intentioned, adorable, quirky, adorable, hilarious, and, most importantly, adorable. It has Lee Pace, whom I now desperately need to see in everything he's ever done; Kristen Cheno-I-cannot-spell-this, who was well known as Glinda in Wicked; and the completely awesome Chi McBride, who was very good as Vogler and is now shining in a role which is actually likable.
And it's *adorable*. I cannot say this enough, because every time I watch it, it gets that much cuter. This is not a hyperbolic curve, here; it does not get a lot cuter, then a little bit less cuter but still cuter, then a little bit less cuter than that (but still cuter). It gets cuter *arithmetically*.
Anna Friel plays the flighty-but-otherwise-undomitable-and-yes-I-meant-to-say-that Chuck, childhood best friend of Ned. Ned makes pies. (So does Chuck! Hers tend to have cheese in them; I cannot object.) Ned also raises the dead. (Chuck does not raise the dead, partly because she never could raise the dead, and partly because, well, she *is* the dead.) Emerson Cod makes money off of this talent, which he then stores in hand-knitted money-cozies. (PS, Brendan? For you, with great thanks.) The hijinks get wackier from there, but it's the details that make the show.
Take, for example, Chuck's aunts. They could have just been the people who raised Chuck after Ned accidentally involuntarily manslaughtered her father, but there's more to them than that. They used to be famous synchronized swimmers, but stopped when Swoosie Kurtz (again, my name-spelling sucks) lost an eye. In a litterbox accident. So they became shut-ins. Who are also ornithologists. Who are also obsessed with cheese. And it keeps *going* like that!
So, being who and what I am, I of course spent most of my day trying to write porn for this series.
( It didn't quite work out. )
And after that it pretty much petered off. Damn it.

Oh Em Eff Gee. It wasn't just me? Holy crap! It wasn't just me!
So much for complaints of a lack of positive gay role model in there.

Damn it, Brendan!
I am stuck between, "N'aaawwwww, he fixed her espresso machine!" and "I want her clothes!" and I can't decide which to go with!
Also, that is going to be some *hella* kinky sex.

I am filled with glee! There is a new movie trailer out, and it includes *no spoilers*! It does, however, include Alan Rickman and Johnny Depp. Singing. (Well, Johnny is, anyway; we didn't actually get to see anyone else doing it.)
The thing about this movie is that it's based on another, incredibly gruesome work. (No, seriously, go watch that trailer right the hell now!) And anyone who goes in and sees it *not knowing* what's going to be coming at them... well, that person is pretty much guarenteed to be shocked and horrified.
Now consider the casting. Alan Rickman; Johnny Depp. Both very talented actors, but most recently best known for, respectively, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Which means that there are going to be a lot of truly horrified thirteen-year-old fangirls wailing into livejournal when this thing comes out.
I can't *wait*!

I have figured it out!
The reason John Williams is *so* incredibly awesome is that while he is a classical composer, you can still, almost always, headbang to his work.

I have a very old car, a '91 Honda accord, and as a result, no CD player. Which was fine, until the antenna broke, but now there's never anything to listen to in the car, and, well, I get bored.
So I stopped at Goodwill yesterday to see if they had any good CDs, and realized they have cassettes, as well. "Ah-HAH!" I thought, "I can listen to music again!"
I bought, and have been merrily bopping around the countryside listening to:
Best of John Williams
Hercules (soundtrack)
A Sega Genesis cartridge which does not, in fact, hold the Lion King soundtrack (Bummer!)
American Graffiti, the soundtrack
George Michaels Faith
But wait! you exclaim. You're the most culturally-impaired person on the planet, how do *you* know about George Michaels?
And I answer you: Like this.
I am lame.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Of all the race issues tied into this, oddly the one it makes me think about hardest is privelege. Because, I immediately try to understand what the hell those guys were thinking, and the closest I can really come to relating is "I just want what's mine to stay mine" mentality. But a) you shouldn't have things like all-white benches anymore and b) that behavior was *never* justified method for reclaiming something, even if it was yours.
But, y'know, I almost didn't post about this because after all it doesn't affect me, right?
Yeah, that thought pattern is something else that counts as "privelege". It shouldn't really *be* "mine".

*clings, mewling, to the internets*
Oh, Internets. Never leave me again.
(For those who don't know, our sketchy-for-some-time-now internets finally completely crapped out a couple weeks ago, and I have been geekiness deprived now for some time. But now, I can read fanfic again! Oh, happy day.)

I think that Cassandra Sandsmark must buy the really expensive bras, because otherwise, how would her breasts be so perky?
Kory's suit is actually a great deal stiffer than it looks, like, some organic organism bonding with her or something, and does really support her.
Wonder Woman has the strapless underwires of DOOM.
Spoiler just used a plain old sports bra.
The first Batgirl used lace. Pink lace, and then rolled her eyes at herself for doing it. Now, she alternates between that and sports bras, whichever she happens to feel like.
The second Batgirl doesn't bother. Oracle is obscurely bothered by this, but could never figure out how to say something about it.
Black Canary's leotard is surprisingly supportive.
And Power Girl? Doesn't wear a bra. She levitates them.

Quote of the day goes to Jim:
"The fact that Mary had God-sex and then went back to Joseph and they had lots and lots of kids after Jesus was born? Means that Joseph was *really* well hung."

I have been on a musicals kick lately--and by lately, I mean the last six months or so. This has resulted in me listening to a lot of pirated musicals music, and that, in turn, has resulted in me wanting to write a number of stories which I simply have not the talent to pull off.
Most notably, listening to the bestest track of Elton John's Aida, namely "My Strongest Suit," always makes me want to write a long Brucie one-shot called "Those Few who are Invited". This I will never do.
I also will never write a story about that period of time when Tim was retired from being Robin titled, "There are Giants in the Sky", nor an early Tim piece entitled "Chimerical".
(Incidentally, I may write a Steph story called "Just Keep Swimming".)
I will not write a story about Dick Grayson called "Let Me Fall," nor will he ever be "Defying Gravity" (despite the fact that this makes me giggle).
I will, however, always appreciate that "Seventy-Six Trombones played Gloria Gaynor".
