Because he's a badass, that's why.

This is why I fail.

So I decided that I was going to skip out on watching Oscar movies today and focus on trying to get something written, and I packed up ye olde laptop and went to the cafe and threw down five bucks on a cheesesteak panini aaaaand instead I spent the entire time watching MST3K clips and Crystal Bowersox videos on YouTube. I didn't even eat much of the cheesesteak, really, because apparently I'm not even a little bit hungry today.

On the other hand, fuck me, that woman's got a great voice.

Okay, I think it's time to pack up and head pack home to see what I can get done. *sigh*

Huh.

I just realized it's about that time for another round of apocalyptothon.

Now all I have to do is decide:

a.) if I want to go through with the option I was tempted to do last year of retiring certain fandoms.
b.) if I should have the usual fic exchange, a small-fandoms prompt challenge, or both at the same damn time with someone else organizing the prompt challenge, since my mental energy unfortunately winds down towards the end to the detriment of everything else and never got around to doing the prompt challenge last year.
c.) if I'll even have the mental energy to write anything for it this year.
d.) when the hell to do it.
e.) if I should shorten the time to turn it in to REALLY make things interesting.
f.) if more help will be required this year. (What would really work for me is if I could do the set up, I could have a hard-ass to cover the stories getting turned in to wield the mod stick, aaaand somebody willing to organize the prompt challenge.)

... yes, as a matter of fact I am procrastinating. Your point?

Oscarwatch: Inglorious Basterds

-- That was awesome. I would have no problem with that winning Best Picture, although it won't. It'll be Avatar (which would disappoint me for a number of reasons like the casual racism, the bad writing, or the fact that doing exceptionally well in one area of filmmaking like visual effects doesn't make up for being hand-wavingly weak in every other area, at least not in a Best Film category) or The Hurt Locker (which I still have to finish watching but enjoyed so far).

-- That said, Christoph Waltz will win the Oscar because he'll have earned it.

-- That said, now I'm bitter Melanie Laurent wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actress. (Or Best Actress, really, considering.)

-- Now I get why my dad loves this movie. It's right up his alley. (My dad's a sucker for Quentin Tarantino movies, and he said this one is his new favorite.)

-- It took me half of that one scene to figure out that was Mike Myers. I suppose I should be impressed by that.

-- I really wish I still remembered how to speak German. *sigh*

Wes Anderson does Spider-Man.

Oh, my God, the Owen Wilson voice. I sprained something laughing. *dies*
