Alan Moore Once Met Fabio On The Street. Moore Burst Into Laughter Fabio Burst Into Tears & Every Passing Car Burst Into Flames.

Note: I only seem to do these sorts of entries when I'm writing fiction, and need a small break by writing bullshit. Weird, yes?

Things I Like Today
* Freakangels. For being awesome and funny and making me scared for the nipples of people everywhere.

* The bad reviews Angels & Demons is getting, because I am petty and still annoyed by how brain-rapingly stupid the first one was.

* That I will be seeing Star Trek again, tonight, and that I will not have to pay for it.

* My hair, which will soon obey me and also have a white streak in it, because I think that will look cool. Look, I'm not dyeing it blue/purple/pink/black/green/orange again, so I've matured a LITTLE. Leave me alone, I'm only young once but I'll be stupid forever. Corey Feldman said that in Stand By Me, so it MUST be true.

* That in rewatching Heroes I finally remember/understand stuff that happened in later episodes. And am at some point going to make a page of Heroes theories. They will be archaic and badly written.

* Writing, which has mysteriously alleviated my sinus headache for the time being, and is also about to get super violent and people DIE, which is fun to write.

* Twitter, which is endlessly entertaining.

Things I Dislike Today
* Twitter, for distracting me terribly.

* LSATS, for existing (and myself, for thinking I wanted to TAKE them. WTF, self?)

* LiveJournal, for making me spend way too much time trying to tag my old entries and fucking up the formatting until I gave up in shame and disgust.

* Freakangels, for not having Karl this week (PLEASE let him live!).

* That nightmare I had about getting a 45 on the LSATs. I do not think that is possible.

* My sinuses, again.

* My writing, because the more I write the more I realize I HAVE to write, and this was supposed to be a fun, short novel, not an Epic Grandiose Treaty On The Vampire & Morality & Love & Redemption, So Serious OMFG. Do not want. It's meant to be funny and creepy and sad in places, but mostly just entertaining. NOT thought-provoking.

* Soap operas, because none can ever compare to Passions, which was the funniest show ever.

Things I Want Today
* The sinuses of someone who does not get sinus headaches ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

* Sushi.


* Firefly to be back on the air. What? I'm really in the mood to watch it.


* Rorschach, pretending to be Kovacs.

What? WHAT?

If You Are Within One Mile Of Alan Moore & You Drop Your Toast It Will Always Land Butter Side Up. Always.

Things I Like Today
* Still Heroes (especially the moment where Hiro sees waffles on the menu and goes, 'Waffles!' with such pure and genuine joy that it inspired the following Tweet from me:

Waffles make Hiro happy. Happy Hiro makes me happy. Ergo, waffles are an absolute good.

And yes, I just QUOTED MYSELF, but Hiro is so wonderful that he would forgive me.
I found the clip on YouTube, which is so perfect that of COURSE it would exist, just for me:

You are HUMBLED by the genius, aren't you?

* The reviews on Amazon.com of Tuscan Whole Milk, which are genius. Truly. Here's just one:

I thought I'd save a little money on this product so I clicked on the 'Order it used' button. Boy, was that a mistake!

When new, this product is just fine. When used, it's almost undrinkable.

So, if you're in the market for Whole Milk, heed my advice, buy new.

The internet is made of awesome.

* Free merchandise from work.

* Netflix, for speedily sending me season one of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so I can watch it and get angry that it's been cancelled.

Things I Dislike Today
* My sinuses.

* The people who call my magazine (which caters to the liquor industry), and drunkenly demand I pour them a glass. Over the phone. From Washington. And then YELL at me when I calmly explain that my phone cannot transport liquid.

* The lady who complained about the free t-shirt we sent her. I still don't get this. It was a t-shirt, a NICE one, that she got, for FREE. WHAT is there to complain about?

* Being completely and inexplicably exhausted.

* Sarah Palin, because she's a 'voracious reader' now. FAMILY CIRCUS DOES NOT COUNT, MRS. PALIN.

Things I Want Today
* Food. Like, dinner. Right now.

* Time to watch Doctor Who, Heroes, and Star Trek, because HUZZAH I found a VHS player. Or a Dalek. It's a toss-up.

* For it to be Friday, so I can SLEEEEEEP.

* For Trent Reznor, Tool, and Jane's Addiction to all decide to come to my town in New Jersey and hold a free concert, only for me and those I choose, and Russell Brand will MC and Zachary Quinto will show up and Quentin Tarantino will film it, and I can invite my relations from across the ocean, and I'll end up with either Brand or Qunto or Tarantino, because it's MY DAYDREAM.

* Some Tylenol. Thought I'd end on a realistic note there.

In An Average Living Room There Are 1,242 Objects Alan Moore Could Use To Kill You Including The Room Itself.

This is me being spoiled/bored, and taking a brief breather from my fiction writing.

Things I Like Today
* Star Trek

* Zachary Quinto:

* Amazon.com, for making me money after YEARS of taking it away

* 100 Calorie Twinkie Bites, which really have no right to be so delicious

* Heroes, which I am rediscovering


* Netflix, which I remembered I HAVE, and finally returned my DVDs after four months

* A surprise day off from work in which to catch up on my studying and other boring shit

* The weather, which is divine

* My book, because I've been mulling over this scene for a while, and the scene AFTER this scene is the one where, like, a few major characters die horrible and grisly deaths, and THIS scene is a scene where a few major characters suffer extreme trauma

* Rorschach. Cuz.


Things I Dislike Today
* That Zachary Quinto is not in my life (no offense to people who ARE in my life. I adore you. You just FAIL to be Zachary Quinto in any way, shape or form. But I am willing to overlook this, because I am an ADULT).

* Filling out envelopes to ship stuff, because I'm lazy.

* Peter Petrelli. Go cry your angsty tears of angst, you selfish, spoiled little emo BASTARD. And GET A HAIRCUT.

'I'm sorry, Christopher, I can't hear you over the sound of my TEARS.'
'It's all right, mate. You also didn't hear when I called Tennant up and asked him to drop the TARDIS on your sad little head. Cheers!'

* Netflix, because WTF, why do you not have season one of Star Trek: The Original Series? I mean, I know we have them somewhere in the house on VHS, but VHS is DEAD man, and I can't watch that on my computer, which means I'll have to go find a TV somewhere that still TAKES VHS, which is like looking for a car that plays 8-tracks. I miss VHS, incidentally.

* My book, because it is still NOT DONE and I fear it is going to be longer than I intended.

* Miss California, because everyone is shitting themselves over this, and I refuse to care.

* The fact that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is like, definitely cancelled, but I can't find any confirmation from FOX, because FOX is made of SUCK AND BULLSHIT. Can't even deal with Dollhouse. Joss, why do you trust these VIPERS?

* The knowledge that this dress I want costs $1,090, and when I asked a friend for that money, she thought I meant $10.90, and she still laughed in my face and said no.

* Car payments.

* Money.

Things I Want Today
* Money. Lots of money. I know that sounds greedy, but you can totally have some. I just want enough to buy some fun things and pay for my car.

* To see Star Trek again, even though I'm seeing it on Friday

* To get my hair dyed (again, Friday)(I'll probably post pictures)

* French food.


* Netflix to stop being a douche, and also to show me how to watch movies on my Mac, because it ain't working.

* A nap.
* To go to Starfleet Academy (Screw you, I'd look so cute in the damn uniform, and I could have panic attacks with McCoy, and probably get court-martialed for knocking out Spock and dragging him back to my quarters REPEATEDLY).

* Thomas Pynchon's new novel to come out, now.

* A copy of Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.

* A super power AND the zombie apocalypse. HOLYSHITTHATWOULDBESWEET.

* All the dresses Zoe Saldana wore to the premieres. ALL of them. And the shoes. Right now.

WHERE does one buy cheap knock-offs of such AWESOME?

Well, that was unproductive. Hurray!
