Links, just 'cause ...

Six young actresses who deserve more mainstream stardom. Like the writer of the article points out, it's hard to pick just six talented actresses who should get bigger roles, but they certainly picked six I can agree with.

Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics -- Neat, if you actually know physics. (Which I don't, at least not very well, but I was still amused.) Read the reviews and find out how insultingly stupid your favorite action movie really is. :)

Movie-A-Minute -- Which hasn't been updated in a few years, as far as I can tell, but it's still pretty funny. (It links to Books-A-Minute, too, which if you read a lot and haven't looked it over is hysterical.)

Biology of B-Movie Monsters -- Oh, I so have to sit down and read this when I get a chance. I wasn't even a science nerd in high school, for crying out loud.

Raging Fred -- The Flintstones dubbed over with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci from "Raging Bull".

So You've Decided To Be Evil -- Decided? I never decided a damn thing. ;)

Guess the Dictator or TV Character -- You pretend, they guess. You can kill hours doing this. :)

You know that episode from the first season of Dead Like Me where they have to do filing, and George asks Rube a really complicated question about filing (well, sort of), and then realizes in her head that she was so busy hating her job, she didn't even realize she was learning how to do her job? Or something like that? Yeah, that's the kind of day I've been having.

Also, in my office is four racks. There is also my desk, on the left of which is a rack for researched packages and on the right of which is a rack for unresearched packages. I put up signs everywhere with big, easy-to-read letters telling everybody exactly where everything goes, so that I wouldn't come in to a pile of unresearched packages on my floor. I've been finding piles of them next to my desk for days, so I put a sign on my desk chair that I now turn towards the door when I leave, which says, "PUT NEW PACKAGES ON THAT RACK!" and underneath it, "------------->". Okay, who wants to guess how many new packages I found in great big piles on the OTHER rack? *headdesk*

If this day has proven anything, it's that when it's my workspace and my workspace alone, I tend to get a tad anal-retentive about the neatness. Hmm.

A meme gacked from a couple of people:

Ask me my opinion on any character from any fandom, and I will say. If I do not know the fandom, I will say what I think I know based on fannish osmosis.

Fair warning, though ... I neither watch nor know from fannish osmosis nearly all of the anime fandoms, with the exception of Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist, and the only things I know I learned from catystorm during the costume parties -- he's short, he's loud, and I think I love him. ;)

Also, I ordered Pop Nots today. Like, a case of them. Hmph. That should last me a week.

EDIT: Unless I missed it, I don't think I've seen anybody link to the Aeon Flux trailer. Aside from the dark hair on Charlize throwing me off (dude, it looks awful on her, even if it is correct), it looks like it could be awesome. And I want exploding marbles! *bounces up and down happily*

I'll give you a freakin' WISH list ...

So I was at work today, and I started making a list of stuff I wanted for my birthday next month, more because I like doing that instead of because I need one. (When my mother asks what I want for my birthday, I'm going to say, "Apartment stuff." There. Done. :))

But since I was using it more for daydreaming than any serious sort of list-making, I started making a real "wish list". As in, I'm walking down the street and I find a genie's lamp. If I could rub it and wish for anything I wanted right this second -- from stuff that costs nothing to stuff that I could never afford in a million years to stuff that I could never have regardless of the cost, and none of this three wishes crap -- this is what I would wish for today. That kind of thing. :)

So here it is ...
