I always run out of batteries for my camera at the worst times.

Otis is currently alternating between looking for me to pet him and attacking the extra brand-new unwrapped roll of paper towels I bought today as if I'd brought it home with the express purpose of giving him a new toy. Which I didn't. But I did leave it on the floor so I pretty much asked for that.

In other news, wizardy's real! As someone who finds herself writing wizards in her original novels I'm now annoyed I was not informed. Of course I don't talk to many batshit religious nuts so that's probably why I'm out of the loop on that one.

Somebody stop me.

I keep dropping everything to go back and rewatch this scene over and over again.



I didn't notice Christian's hand resting on Olli's knee until I saw that screencap. I just keep focusing on Olli staring fondly at him throughout the entire conversation with Judith and constantly touching Christian on his ear and the back of his head and his shoulders and Jesus fuck, they're SO CUTE.

D'awwwww. Do they HAVE to have some soap-opera obstacle come between them eventually? Can't they just make out and cuddle all the time? It's sweet, damn it. (Not that I don't want them to have some great storyline or whatever, but ... but ... look at them, adorably eroding at our collective morals. *flaily hands*)

I paid for things I could have afforded when there was a Democrat in the White House.

How I Spent My Stimulus

Mine is here. I completely forgot I took that picture from the car as we drove down to Wincon that first year. Heh.

A couple of things ...

Twilight teaser trailer -- Otherwise known as the movie I have no desire to see.

The Top 25 Sexiest Movie Couples -- Most of these I totally agree with. And it's not just straight couples, either, which is cool. (Although the gay and lesbian couples on the list aren't exactly a surprise, if you think about it.)

An interesting New York Times article regarding the lack of good female roles in Hollywood films, particularly the summer blockbuster.

Samantha Bee on gay penguins (I'd lean towards NSFW on this one):

Also, I'm now wondering why I haven't written Christian/Olli smut yet. Seriously, yo, I don't know what's wrong with me.

A couple more things

This is my new wallpaper. I mean, REALLY.

Also, since I can't remember whether or not I ever posted this, Meg Cabot acts out Pretty in Pink with dolls.

I'm supposed to be writing, you know.

( Cut for NSFW-ness )

A quick nonspoilery comment on tonight's Top Chef

I'm seriously starting to think it's going to start to become evident that even-numbered seasons of TC are filled with douchebags.
