Which, you know, means it's Sunday again. But I digress.

Seeing as how I haven't been able to touch Blogger with a ten foot pole or any other freakishly gargantuan ethnicity in the past few days, I'm shifting operations over here. What's that mean exactly? It means Flavor of the Moment is now here rather than there.

I know. Earth-shattering. I'll give you a moment to ferklempt.

Anyway, I was trying to get onto Blogger because it had been a few weeks since I'd nominated a Flavor of the Moment and I was feeling all guilt-ridden and whatnot. (Don't even ask me how I feel about not putting out an X-Men Diary in a week and a half. My heart weeps, my soul trembles, my ... liver has a seizure, I don't know ...) In any event, most of the reason I'm doing this particular round of Flavors is that I've been swearing I'd do it since the beginning of May, and have I? No, because I'm a horrible, terrible slacker.

Okay, actually, I've been working like crazy to edit my fellowship submission, but again, I digress.

In other news, did I mention that I've got a cat who fetches underwear? Not even all underwear, just women's underwear. He comes running up to my mom and I with our undies in his mouth like he's carrying a Frisbee. And the other day, he found my thongs. Good Lord, you'd think he'd found the Shroud of Turin. "WOW! Slingshots!"

I've also got a cat whose favorite toy is a whip. See, none of our cats are right in the head! But seeing as they're ours, I'm amazed they don't spend all day ramming their heads into the walls.

What does that have to do with this week's Flavor of the Moment? Hell, I don't know. Women's underwear, whips and cats ... I see absolutely no connotation there whatsoever, for I am but an innocent virginal soul who happens to have some quite lovely swampland in Death Valley to sell you.

Anyway, onward and upward with the men of X ...

Flavor of the Moment #1 -- Butter Brickle (Shawn Ashmore -- "X2")

Now before anybody goes yammering on about Hugh the Gorgeous, go check out the old Flavor column at flavor_of_the_moment.blogspot.com. You know, if you can even load the freaking thing. (Then again, my laptop might just be mad at me for filling up all of this nice, lovely empty hard drive space with a bootleg copy of X2. But it's just going to have to suuuuufffffeeeeeer.)

So yeah, I've done the nominating thing with Hugh. Rah, rah, he's a hottie. Can I go now?

Anyway, onto Shawn. And okay, yeah, he looks young. And okay, yeah, he's playing a teenager even though he's my age. But you know what? I like my guys young and blond, and look at Bobby with all of the cuteness and blond hair and sweet devotion to his soul-sucking girlfriend. Awwww. Plus, we're talking my favorite X-Man ever, because he's always been right about at my level of maturity. Granted, that doesn't say much for either one of us, but still.

Oh, and did I mention? He's identical twins. Me want. Twins fun to play with.

Flavor of the Moment #2 -- Fudge Ripple (Daniel Cudmore -- "X2")

You're probably wondering why the guy who plays Colossus gets to be Fudge Ripple, of all Flavors. Well, it's the "Ripple" part that gets me. We're talking about a man who's apparently never even heard of body fat. His clincher scene gets to be the fact that during the entire school invasion, he was only wearing boxers. You know what? Same goes Shawn and his scrawny chicken legs. (Which, by the way, I happen to like. I know, the man can do no wrong in my eyes, except for the part where he dates the soul-sucking girlfriend, which sounds like a really sideways attempt at suicide to me. Dude, don't do it! You're too hot to die!)

Anyway, Colossus. One of your better Flavors because not only is he not very talkative and kinda artistic, he's also lined with fudge and low-fat! Okay, so maybe he's not lined with fudge, but ... but ... he could be drizzled in it! Yeah, that's the ticket ...

Jesus, where the hell did I leave my anti-stalker medication?

Flavor of the Moment #3 -- Creamsicle (James Marsden -- "X2")

Why is James a Creamsicle? Because I imagine Scott must be really tasty and delectable once you remove the stick from his ass.

Anyway, moving on --

Flavor of the Moment #4 -- Bubble Gum (Peter Wingfield -- "X2")

Hell, I don't know why the Wingfield kid gets to be Bubble Gum. Probably because he's so adorable that every time I see him, I want to nibble on parts of him.

For anybody who doesn't know, PW plays Stryker's second-in-command in the movie. The funny thing is that he used to play Methos on "Highlander," so while I appreciated a good two hours worth of scenes of him poured into camou (and what guy doesn't look good in camou, really?), all I could think was how if he would have just taken off his boots and wiggled his toes at everybody, peace would have been restored and everyone could have just gone out for Heinekins. (Hey, look! A HL fandom in-joke in the wild! I thought they were extinct!)

Okay, well, that's good enough for now. Until next time ... laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and I'll give you something to cry about, you little bastard! (Funny, it sounded better when Jeff Goldblum said it ...)

... is what I am, because I was misbehaving and slacking off reading fics I hadn't read yet on (un)frozen, and while I was reading "First, Do No Harm," Oasis's "Don't Go Away" came on my mp3 player.

Bad news: I am now a quivering pile of goo.
Good news: I can now be easily cleaned up by a Bounty paper towel. It's in a commercial, I've seen them do it. :)

Okay, now to go back to editing.

Damn it.
