Do you know why Jake Gyllenhaal is hot? Because he reads bedtime stories to horses! *ovaries explode*

How would you like to be on Discovery right now and find that out? "Uh, guys ... guys ..."

I'm almost totally packed for my trip. I've got my giant gym bag so tightly packed that if I open it right now, thirty clowns are bound to spill out.

Also, I'm making that superpowered high school hijinks challenge official. Just ... erm, give me a minute.

EDIT: My mom is spazzy. In related news ... ( KITTY PICTURES! )

SON OF EDIT: Oh, for crying out loud. They're remaking Yours, Mine and Ours? Okay, look, I adore Rene Russo and Dennis Quaid, and if they want to star in the remake together, I hope they do a good job. But on the other hand, I LOVE the original. LOVE. Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda in the original always remind me of my grandparents, who might not have had eighteen kids but did have seven kids, her mother, and what I can only assume was countless brothers and sisters on both sides visiting. Plus, their house looked a lot like the one in the movie, except smaller, so the original makes me nostalgic. (And if the poster is any indication, Dennis Quaid's character adopted at least half of his kids, which I both like and find a little Extreme Makeover: Home Edition at the same time.)

The Superpowered High School Hijinks Fanfic Challenge

In honor of Sky High and in the same vein as the Everyday Superhero Fanfic Challenge, I know what I want for my birthday.

I want normally human high school and college-student characters shooting each other in the hallways with laser beams. I want Logan Echolls able to bench press a Buick and Ferris Bueller flying from place to place and John Bender reading everybody's minds in detention just to more expertly fuck with them.

I want superpowered high school hijinks, damn it. (Although I'm not averse to college-age characters having abilities.)

Pleeeeeeeeease? *bats eyelashes*

The fandom doesn't have to be an "ordinary" fandom (although that'd probably be a heck of a lot more fun to play with) but the characters do have to be completely and totally powerless in canon. Give 'em a superpower. Make Nellie Olson a teleporter. Have Jeff Spicoli able to breathe underwater. Give Long Duck Dong telepathy.

The deadline's September 29th, my birthday, although it's a nebulous deadline at that so if you finish a story later, it's not a problem or anything. And link back here, 'cause God knows the rest of us will want to read 'em. :)

(Now to see how many entries I can write ... *cackles maniacally*)

Gacked from taraljc ...

Spoilery pics of the filming of the Doctor Who Christmas special here and here.

Also, David Tennant wants to be the first naked Doctor.

Boy, I'm glad I don't really have to use my brain for the rest of the night. Mmm-hmm. *wanders off in a daze*

So I'm killing time at work and I wandered over to Watch With Kristin to see if she had any new spoilers up for anything. And she did.

( She pretty much spoiled that last scene in the finale, if what she did. )

Three things:

1. I got my digital camera to work again! YAY! Now I can take it on my trip and take pictures of people and cats and places and fireworks and cheese fries and puppies and ... well, lots of things. ;)

2. I have a bag of Frosted Flakes and the baggie of Pairing List entries in my lap and keep switching between the two as I do about three things at once. A moment ago, I very nearly put some of the Pairing List slips in my mouth. Considering they are Pairing List entries, I don't even want to speculate as to what they might taste like.

3. While contemplating my Doctor Who CDs, I realized I must have seen "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances" about five kajillion times and pretty much have them memorized ... and I put them in the drive anyway.
