Oh, my poor email.

It's going to be stuffed full of comments after today. :)
So, just to make this one easy -- pimp something!
Pimp anything in the comments. Movies, TV shows, books, comics, your favorite conditioner, those potato chips you can't get enough of, whatever. Anything at all that more people should know about because they'd like it, pimp away!
(For the record, I'm going to continue to pimp Pushing Daisies until I'm blue in the face.)

I knew I kept this icon around for a reason.
Date: 2007-07-28 03:11 pm (UTC)Larry (which is to say, Mr Downey) screws up a lot. Perry is badass and awesome and definitely Kilmer's best role since Tombstone. It's basically awesome.

Date: 2007-07-28 03:18 pm (UTC)After that - Rob Thurman (female author) who has started a series about two brothers - the younger one is half-elf (the dark twisty kind of elf) and the old human but has vowed to protect his younger brother once they find out he's a target for elves. As a result they both go on the run ... and well, let's just say she's Eric Kripke's twin on paper. Two books have been released Moonshine and Night Life. Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Date: 2007-07-28 03:49 pm (UTC)Ocean of Fear might be a bit too much for me. I should be home tomorrow night so I'll probably give it a try.

Date: 2007-07-28 03:46 pm (UTC)Its this totally awesome show on USA (Thursday, 10 PM EST, RIGHT AFTER SUPERNATURAL HOMG!) about a secret agent (Michael Westen, played by... Jeffrey Donovan!) who's had a burn notice put out on him and he's stuck in Miami, FL while trying to figure out who burned him.
It has the bonus casting of Sharon Gless as his mother, and--wait for it--BRUCE CAMPBELL as his best friend Sam.

Date: 2007-07-28 03:50 pm (UTC)Also, Fruit chips and vegetable chips (http://www.flatearth.com/). No, really. It's not as weird as it sounds - they are yummy, and they count as half a serving of fruit/vegetables. My favorite are the 'Wild Berry Patch' chips.

Date: 2007-07-28 04:05 pm (UTC)I pimped it to a television/comm studies prof, and he's planning to track it one of his classes in the fall. Homg, what an awesome show. :D

Simple enough for a child to make (my 9 did it), and yummy!
no subject
Date: 2007-07-28 06:46 pm (UTC)Fruit: Hachiya persimmons. Available only in the fall. Heart-shaped (unlike the Fuyus which look like tomatoes and aren't as good.) must be eaten when soft and fully ripe. Honey sweet, perfumey heaven in your mouth.
Book: The World Without Us -- Incredibly interesting book about what would happen if man disappeared suddenly.
CD: The Slide Guitar: Bottles, Knives and Steel This is The Blues. Accept no substitute.
Movie: Monsoon Wedding. Catches hold of your heart and mind with its beauty.
