Aaaaaand ... stuff.

-- I usually only play the same few playlists off my Zen but I just put it on Random Play All for kicks and bwahahahahaha. There is a lot of music on here that I'd completely forgotten I have.

-- My plans for the Fourth of July involve my couch, my Alpha Smart, beef chow mein, and a Law and Order: Criminal Intent marathon on USA. My boring life, let me show you it. *sigh*

-- Secrets of Stradivarius Explained -- In other words, why those violins sound so damn beautiful.

-- There's Oscar talk about Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight. For some reason I feel really weird about him being nominated, because that role pretty much killed him. And yet at the same time, that role pretty much killed him.. How'd you like to be the rest of the actors in THAT category, huh? He put EVERYTHING into the Joker -- just seeing the trailer's enough to know that -- and it's just ... YES. God, yes.

-- A pretty good example of why I hate Perez Hilton. Yeah, like anybody who read I Taught Your Boyfriend That Thing You Like couldn't figure that out. (I particularly liked the bit from I Love The New Millenium talking about Neil Patrick Harris and Lance Bass coming out where he was like, "I didn't FORCE them out of the closet! I just posted the pictures and presented the facts." Uh, hate to break it to you, Perez, BUT ...)

EDIT: Oh, and also I should not be listening to anything from the 28 Days Later soundtrack at night, as now I keep expecting zombies to pour from every doorway.

The Joker thing makes me feel weird too. Everything about the Joker makes me feel weird, actually, now.

I didn't know Neil Patrick Harris before the trailer for Joss Whedon's new thing, I didn't know he's gay. I must be living under a rock.

Hee at the macro.

I will say one thing -- I love his interpretation of the Joker. I mean, yes, he's a step away from other interpretations, but that guy genuinely scares the crap out of me.

Oh, dude, Neil Patrick Harris is AWESOME. Best thing about Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, best thing about How I Met Your Mother.

Perez Hilton is a creepy little troll.

But things even out. http://jezebel.com/5015802/perez-hiltons-clothing-launch-attracts-single+digit-crowds-he-weeps-sharon-stone-would-invoke-karma

HAHAHAHA. That link warms my heart. :)

I hate Perez Hilton with such a big passion. The only reason Lance Bass came out was because his mom read a Page 6 item about him and all the major gossip mags were going to report it anyway. It had so little to do with Perez posting pictures of Lance wearing the same clothes as his various boyfriends. *rolls eyes* He wishes he could claim credit. Such a douchebag. Also. NO MOCKING BABIES FOR BEING UGLY. Who does that? You'd think he'd be empathetic.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I recall correctly from watching I Love The New Millenium ... um, more than once (*shifty eyes*), I don't think anybody specifically said, "Perez Hilton outed them," before he got all defensive. They just said something about rumors popping up and he got all shouty and defensive. Which, UGH. Shut up, Perez, you fucking gasbag.

NO MOCKING BABIES FOR BEING UGLY.

Oh, that really pissed me off big-time because I think Harlow's goddamn adorable. Not the least of which being because it's blatantly obvious that the two of them love her like crazy. And also because she always looks like she's dressed in ... you know, normal cheap baby clothes as opposed to, like, five-hundred-dollar onesies.

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

Honestly, all babies look the same to me. They're babies! They can't even hold themselves up yet. There's no reason they should have to be defended against horrible bloggers who make up half their posts anyway.

Perez likes to assume "credit." He likes to say, "Lance seems so much happier since I outted him, doesn't he?" He's been doing this for 2 years, because the whole Lance thing was what made Perez famous. Which, it's just gross to me. Lance wasn't staying in his little glass closet to annoy Perez. He was doing it because his family are southern baptists and don't like gay people and he didn't want to deal with that. His mother CRIED when he came out to her, and his dad basically said, "Don't die from AIDS." I mean... I think people should come out, but sometimes they have really good reasons for not doing so, and we need to respect their choices because it's THEIR lives. Perez has no respect for anything except a paycheck and his hit count.

Oh, man. The reason Lance didn't come out is the same reason I don't tell my mother's side of the family about my being bi. It's just easier for both sides for them to live in ignorance. Because really it doesn't affect them so there's no need for them to get in a snit over it. Annnnd this illustrated why I'm glad I'm not famous.

At least until my maternal grandmother dies. Then I won't give a shit who knows.

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

The grandparents were a big deal for Lance, too. His mom didn't want them to know. And Lance was like, "Um, well. Either I tell them, or they find out in line at the grocery store." What a terrible choice to have to make. Well, in so much as it was a choice at all.

[secretbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly.

[cat-eyed-fox.livejournal.com]

Perez Hilton is a dirty bastard. He's just so... skeevy. Even when he's not being actively skeevy you know he's just lying in wait to say something awful about some poor person.

And btw, what's an Alpha Smart?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's basically just like a laptop that only saves text files. They sell it on this site -- it comes in handy when you're like me and get easily distracted by the Internet. And it's way cheaper than a real laptop, so if you have a desktop and just want a laptop so you can write elsewhere, it's perfect. :)

Thanks! I'd always wondered where you got it. :-) Definitely something to save for and get when I have a job again. *nods*
