Random stuff

1. ( Yesterday's Christian and Olli )

Love the storyline. Kinda want to punch a boxing fan now, though.

2. The good news! The bonus checks are available this Friday. The bad news! Oh, wait, did I say this Friday? I meant that if you're working, you get them handed out there, but if you're not working (see: me), they're getting dropped in the mail on Friday, which means we won't get them until Monday or Tuesday.

My place of employment -- still piloting the failboat down the mighty Lackawanna.

(Of course, there's still the possibility I won't get anything, which ... ugh, I'm trying not to think about that.)

3. This article makes me want to watch Stick It again. And not just because Nastia Liukin actually wins on the uneven bars in that movie.

4. Need to take a shower, eat something, and start writing. I really want to try and finish chapter two of The Hollow Girl, because as soon as I get three or four chapters finished I'm going to polish the hell out of it and see what someone who's not me makes of it.

In other news, I'm horribly tempted to write a story about a girl who's the Zeppo. You know, her roommate's a hot ass-kicking demon hunter, the guy the roommate's got major sexual chemistry with is a vampire king, there's a love triangle with ... I don't know, a minor Greek god or something goofy like that, the roommate's best frend is a witch, and my girl is just ... you know, a girl. The one who's NOT a special and unique snowflake or a raging angst monkey. Hmm.

Oh, honey.

more cat pictures

A few links

Another blog entry about Nastia Luikin losing out on gold, which I mainly point out for both the awesome picture of the bitchface Nastia's giving the Chinese gymnasts and her winningly catty response to losing. I think I'm in love.

The college freshmen mind-set. Oh, Yahoo. I didn't know you cared enough to research stuff for The Hollow Girl for me! *hugs*

Christina Applegate has double mastectomy. Damn.

Lawsuit says eatery to blame for 9-foot tapeworm -- He later passed the giant parasite, which a pathologist determined came from undercooked fish, such as salmon. EW, EW, EW, EW. Have I mentioned how skeeved I get by just the mention of the word "tapeworm"? I'm not really grossed out by much, but every time I think of tapeworms I think of the one that was in a jar on a shelf near my desk in high school biology and how freaking icky it was and ... and NINE FEET? He passed a nine-foot-long tapeworm?! GYAH. I have a new nightmare.

15 Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped -- The airplane shot made me squee, 'cause that's just cool. And I should probably be freaking out over that picture of the crab, but now I'm just hungry for seafood.

7 "Eccentric" Geniuses Who Were Clearly Just Insane

The 5 Most Baffling Sex Scenes in the History of Fanfiction -- No mention of ithurtsmybrain? Clearly, we're not trying hard enough. (Actually, we're not trying at all. Hmm. I should get on that soon. Maybe after apocalyptothon is over.)
