Plus it's awesome.

Andy Hallet who played Lorne on Angel died.  Thirty-three is nothing at all.

I wish it were an April fools.

What?!  What?!  What the fuck was that shit?

*sighs* I really need time to process it all...seriously, what the hell was that pile of garbage?

Ugh.  I'll do a proper review tomorrow.

1) Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2) List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3) Post them to your journal with these instructions

I was given T by cutmanmetal 


( Behind the cut )

I've spent the majority of the second last remaining day of my holiday with my head down the toliet puking up stomach acids.  Word of advice:  When a friend invites themselves over with a couple of bottles of cheap red wine, just say no.  Ugh, all I can taste is vinegar and my head feels as though it's about to fall off.  I also think I might be flammable.

Yeah, I think I can safely say today has been the low point of the holiday.  It's been such a waste, but I suppose that's what sundays are for...no, really.

I'd hoped to get some writing done this weekend, but a lot of other stuff came up and I just didn't have the time.  I made a pathetic attempt this afternoon and managed to write a whole line of a Wonder Woman fic before giving up and returning to my makeshift bed on the sofa.  If nothing else, at least I can stand up straight without thinking I'm about to topple over, that counts for something right?

I did want to do something fan related today and I did, god knows why, but I did.  It's about as redundant as a chocolate fireguard and about as much use, but I did it anyway: harley_and_ivy  .  Go figure.

I also saw this item on Battlestar Galactica and thought it was worth posting here.   It made me chuckle.

...and that's terrible.

Seriously.  If it wasn't for  scans_daily  I wouldn't have gotten back into comics again after a lengthy absence.   Hell, I probably wouldn't have bothered getting a LJ account in the first place.   It introduced me to the Secret Six,  Manhunter, and lots of other smaller titles that I wouldn't have even glanced at had I not seen them showcased over there first.   I know I'm not the only one.

Then there's the silver and golden age stuff.  Superdictionary; Lois Lane - Superman's Girlfriend; Tales from the Crypt and the like.  Not only were the scans fun to look at, they were fascinating in a historical context.   A brief look at how far we've come over the past few decades.

I also met some really cool people over there.

So fuck you Peter David.  I hope your title gets canned.  

That might have been childish and petulant of me, maybe a little unfair as well, but it felt good.

Later.

I think it says something about the quality of writing when a television show can make you hate a character with all the fury of a thousand suns one week, and then make you want to hug him the next.

Oh, Battlestar.  How I'll miss you when you're gone.  *Cuddles dvd boxsets and weeps*

I managed to exit out of my original bio for it without saving it and had to type it out all again - word sucks sometimes, but the good news is that a_b_joker  is now officially open for business!  I hope to see many of you over there.

Oh, and aeka  I can't remember if I told you or not, but a while back I saved your 'Harleen Quinzel does not approve' icon to my computer and I'm using it as one of the communities icons.  Is that alright?  I can take it down if you like, no biggie.

And remember kids! Pimping is good for the soul *gets down on knees and starts to cry*

Leonard Nimoy can do no wrong.
