Blog* Title is from The Office. Iron Man* Sam Rockwell is going to be the best part of
, except for Robert Downey, Jr. of course. But I love Sam Rockwell. He was life-changing in Galaxy Quest. I did not see
, however, because I didn't love the book, although I may, if you tell me to. Anyway, here is an interview in which Sam Rockwell discusses Iron Man 2. Enjoy it.Animals* This is a monkey:[Found at Neatorama]I'm totally lying. It's a hamster. OR IS IT BOTH? Or neither. Neither works. Whatever it is, it is fuzzy and delightful, and I would name it Mr. Magoo.Daily Hot Guy[Dweezil Zappa, who I saw in concert last night and it was UNBELIEVABLE, and they played Magic Fingers, and I got to hang out with Billy Hulting, who is a friend of my father's and possibly one of the nicest people I have ever met, and we went on the tour bus and got drinks, and it was JUST LIKE BEING A ROCK STAR, only without the fame or money or talent, because I have none of those. ]Apocalypse How?* According to this website:

You are a bloodthirsty misanthrope. You believe mankind is stupid and fallible and that America will destroy itself in a bloody mess. You'll know you're right when: The United States succumbs to a torrent of Russian nukes; we clone ourselves, get bum genes, and dieI think Rorschach would be proud, dammit. Slate lets you choose your own apocalypse. I picked nukes, because they are scary. Although I didn't know that Vermont seceding was even an OPTION, and now I am frigging TERRIFIED.Girly Shit* I hate this shoe:[Found at ShoeLust]I don't understand it, or the logic behind it, or how anyone could find it appealing. It's making me quite angry, actually. I think I want to hurt it. Or it could be my hangover. No, it's the shoe. WHAT THE HELL? Also orange is ugly. Music* Cory Doctorow explains why free downloads help the music industry. He uses smarts and wisdom, as opposed to me, who just relies on the sentiment, 'I am cheap and I pay a shitload of money for concert tickets, and I spent the rest of my money on Watchmen stuff, so give me free downloads, OK?'Although if you read the article, giving away music makes people buy more of your music, so yay everybody wins!Technology* You know you are a supreme geek, or a technological junkie, when you let out little scream of delight over the idea of a universal charger:[Found at UniqueDaily]But how AWESOME? I lose my chargers constantly. CONSTANTLY. Then my phone dies, and people think I'm avoiding them, when I'm really just easily distracted by shiny objects. I want this. I want this bad. As bad as I DO NOT want the ugly orange shoes.Watchmen* This video makes me laugh every damn time:
Nobody Watches the Watchmen - watch more funny videos
Then I worry about Zack Snyder, because really, one day Alan Moore will unleash unholy retribution, and it will be UNPLEASANT.* Listen to this song. Read the lyrics. Then, understand why I am relatively sane. RELATIVELY. Comparatively. A little. Never mind. This is a Rorschach fan song. It's... amazing. And scary. It is the Alpha and Omega of the fandom.* Apparently, we all look like Doctor Manhattan:[Found at Geeokologie]Only we can't see it because it's too weak, and most of us don't run around naked unless we're asked to, politely, by certain celebrities. Also we don't explode people. I'm just SAYING.Tattoo Of Win[Found at LOLTATZ]Food* I can make my own ginger ale. So SCREW YOU, SODA PEOPLE. I DON'T NEED YOUR CARBONATED CRACK!Words of Winsee more Fail BlogBooks* Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld novels, and one of my all-time favorite authors, has Alzheimer's. He wrote a beautiful, heartbreaking peace about the right to die:I am enjoying my life to the full, and hope to continue for quite some time. But I also intend, before the endgame looms, to die sitting in a chair in my own garden with a glass of brandy in my hand and Thomas Tallis on the iPod - the latter because Thomas's music could lift even an atheist a little bit closer to Heaven - and perhaps a second brandy if there is time.The rest is here. I hope he's wrong about finding a cure in his lifetime. But if he's not, I sincerely hope he 'jumps' the way he wants to.Star Trek* This is just awesome:{Found at ONTD_StarTrek]There are a lot more, but Data as Sherlock Holmes satisfies my geekery on so many levels that frankly the rest are kind of irrelevant. Also Riker annoys me. Torchwood* This sort of sums up my most rage-filled moments:
OH, BOY. I MEAN, WHAT KIND OF FAN WOULD WANT TO SPEND THEIR FREE TIME AND IMAGINATION LIVING IN A WORLD WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT AS ITS STEWARD? I MEAN, CONSTANTLY GETTING JERKED AROUND BY SOMEONE WHO ACTS LIKE THEY'RE JOSS WHEDON AND DOUGLAS ADAMS ROLLED INTO A CHUBBY LITTLE GAY BURRITO OF AWESOME BUT ACTUALLY MAKES ERIC KRIPKE LOOK LIKE A FUCKING SAVANT? I WOULD HATE THAT. I WOULD GET FED UP. IN FACT, IF IT GOT OUTRAGEOUS ENOUGH, I WOULD PROBABLY SAY, "TO HELL WITH IT" AND LEAVE THE FANDOM. WHY WOULD I WANT SOMEONE WHO HAS NO RESPECT OR CARE FOR THE CHARACTERS I LOVE IN CHARGE OF MY WORLD?I WOULDN'T.Haha. Ha. Ha.Srevans of LiveJournal, I pledge my sword to you in the fight against horrible character death that leaves me in the fetal position for WEEKS. You are a genius. I don't care what you said, I want you to have your own TV universe. YOU WOULD BE NICE ABOUT IT. Read the rest of her diatribe of TRUTH here.Comics* Oh, look at this: YET ANOTHER CON I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO. Next up, Joss Whedon is going to work on the Twilight franchise, Jackie Earle Haley is going to disappear forever, and they're going to let Uwe Boll direct the next Star Trek movie, AND the Watchmen prequel, and Gareth David-Lloyd is going to disappear too, and COME ON! I AM A GOOD FANGIRL. Screw this, I'm joining the Twilight fandom.People I Love* I have no idea what's happening in this picture, but if Bill Nighy feels the need to brain a small and adorable child, the child probably deserves it:OK, I have many errands to run, none of which involve me getting a small pet to name after a fictional character. WHAT? I get a little fixated sometimes. It's a charming personality quirk. So I tell myself.Oh, and one of the tech guys for Zappa on Zappa recognized my FREAKANGELS bag, which was probably one of the coolest moments, ever.- LV
