fucking war.

Honestly, if they're going to do it no matter what anyone does or says, I wish they'd get it over with already, because the waiting's playing havoc with everything. And since it's basically inevitable at this point, it really seems like they're just prolonging the pain and agony of waiting, for everyone involved. Bloody insane bloodthirsty leaders, I swear.

Went to uni today, not much happened. Came home, not much happened. I got Yayed on the Bronze though which is neat :) and then I missed midnight, reread some VSDs, and then watched Labyrinth, Rove, and Angel. Rove's guests were all superbly famous yet superbly dull, though he did manage to liven it up as usual. The best part was the riders in G-strings. Many very nice ones in there. Discovered that Kylie has *gasp* a sense of humour, when Rove presented her with a photo of his impersonation of the Can't Get You Out Of My Head video (Rove in a sheet, very funny) and she responded with "This is going straight to the pool room." Americans and Brits, go buy an Aussie slang dictionary and then rent The Castle. It's the funniest Australian movie ever made, and with a shoestring budget too.
Tonight's Angel eppy was Spin the Bottle, thank Joss, b/c everything was getting far too icky for me and we needed the interlude. The return of Teen!Cordy was awesome, Gunn's just....being Gunn-like, Wesley was acting too old, and even Angel had a few genuinely funny moments. And as futher proof that Conner is Oedipus, how about that line from the hooker? "Why don't you go home, maybe Mommy's got a special treat for you." Unfortunately that means that Slouching Towards Bethlehem is soon, which, despite VERY shibby pyrotechnics and one of the best titles ever, is the beginning of The Ew. Spoilers for later in season 4 below...
I'm trying to work out exactly *when* Cordy turns evil. Anyone got any theories? I might ask at the Alt later.
Spoilers all done now.

Link of the day is The Nicest Dark Side. Why? Because I said so. Check out the Boys section for the gorgeous Lij/Gale Harold pages I linked to weeks ago. By the way, yes, it is N'Sync slash.

Pics of the day, a random little selection of fun stuff.

Fab's back on Aussie TV!

That's right, it's Monday night again, which means my weekly appraisal of 24, Queer as Folk, and Buffy. I'll try to make the 24 spoilers only visible when highlighted, but not the rest :) First, an update on you know, that real life thing. Have an earache. Ugh. Gothboy hasn't called, I might message him when I get credit. Coz you know, still cute. Came back from Sydney today, so pretty much altogether very, very boring. Am giving Nina shoes. Have uni tomorrow. Didn't mention that I have my Matchbox CD back before. I did, my cousin was borrowing it but I finally got it back, which is fortunate, coz I missed it. I mean I actively thought "I wish I could hear from 'More Than You Think You Are' right now." Moving on now, tv :)

24 spoilers: Okay, we all know Jack's going to be okay, but that moment when Prez Palmer was talking to him on the phone and crying was *so* good. Jack being all brace and shit was cool too. Anyone who didn't see the shooting of that Kate-related guy coming must be completely clueless. I'm gonna go not very far out on a limb and say that the chick who wanted to get rid of Mason is one of the 3 spies form next week. Much as I hate bitch-wife woman, I don't really think she's a spy. I'm hoping and praying Tony Almeida and Reza aren't spies coz I really like them, and I'm also hoping Prez Palmer's assistant-woman isn't either. Other than that they can go where they like.
24 spoilers done.
Moving on to Queer as Folk, and everything *but* Justin/Ethan was really not very interesting tonight. Naked Ted, not something I wanted to see. I really just don't care when he gets his own storyline. Geisha Emmett was adorable, though :D and the fizzling of Ben's party was done well. It was somewhat predictable that he'd gotten sicker as soon as he got pissed off at Michael. The treatment of Brian was very harsh, but necessary to build some Justin/Ethan, which has become very quickly my second favourite OTP on Queer as Folk. (By the way, I found out OTP stands for One True Pairing. So okay, second OTP doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, but you know what I mean.) I realise that Brian really does love Justin, but it's necessary to hurt Brian for this storyline to work, which I appreciate. I also appreciate the way they continued the violin music through the Brian/Justin scenes to highlight the tension, and Justin's mind being completely occupied by Ethan. And how *gorgeous* is that boy? "I'd give you breakfast in bed," "I see you as noble and sentimental..." *drools* Damn, I hate Justin. Oh gee, I have to choose between Ethan and Brian. How terrible for me. Two drop-dead gorgeous gay men want me, whatever am I going to do. Bitch.
I liked Selfless more than I thought I would. D'Hoffryn was particularly cool, he still makes an awesome bad guy. His insights into the characters were very interesting. Good quotes: "Isn't that just like a Slayer. Solving all her problems by sticking things with sharp objects," "I think we all know what lady hack-away wants," The killing of Halfrek was just amazing, and *so* effective. I also liked the breaking of tension with flashbacks, my favourite being Olaf as a troll, with the very funny, very literal subtitles. The one that suited my own odd little sense of humour best was when "Yarrrgh" was translated to "Arrrghh." I also liked the continuity with the mustard song, niiiiice. What's with those weird tops with the tie-waist things that Buffy keeps wearing? White in Lessons, black in this one. Ugly shit. (see I can notice this stuff coz I read the eps ahead of time and it's been so long since I you know, saw the clothes and stuff)

Hair update: Definitely faded. Most disappointing.

Link of the day is

Okay, I found a couple nice Spike pics at a quotes site that wasn't interesting in its own right. The girl who makes it has taste. So today's pics of the day are some nice Spike screencaps and a couple LotR boys at the SAGs, mostly coz Sean looked cute hosting. I was hoping for at least one pic of Sean with the others, but no such luck, and everybody knows about my distinct lack of a fondness for Billy Boyd, so not many of the Sags pics appealed to me. I've decided to use LJ cut tags to do this thing, so the pics from the LiveJournal are in my Comments section. Other blogs are as normal though.




Me? A bit of a thing for "Lessons" Spike? Maybe just a *little*...




Isn't there just a weird gangster feeling to that last one? I'd like to take this opportunity to say both Dom and Sean looked just gorgeous, and I love Dom't little hat. See, he dresses oddly and looks good. Orli just looks...well, stupid.

Yes I am
I hope you think you read me
Hope I start talking crazy before you think you understand me
Are we through
You think that I'm beneath you
But you like the things that I do

GREEN HAIR GETS ME GUYS!!!!

I dyed my hair green tonight. Serious, real green, I'll take a photo tomorrow and maybe post it or send it to ppl who want to see. But anyway, 2 guys hit on me! You remember I discussed a cute guy who looked like Jonas, one of my two O-Week guys, the one from the Toga party? I saw him again, and admired his hotness/prettiness. He's kinda goth but very hot. Anyway, Tom said "So go hit on him already." I walked up to Iain (hot gothic spike boy) and said "Tom said to hit on you already. Only problem is, I'm not very good. Haven't had much practice." 10 minutes later after a tiny bit of small talk and a fair bit of close dancing, I was getting his number! True, I said to him "So are you gonna ask for my number, or am I gonna give you my number" but still. It was FANTASTIC.

Nina and Sarah just called. Where was I?

Ah yes. So 10 minutes later this other guy walks up, pulls me over to him, says "Are you having a good night?" I said "Yeah, fantastic, I just gave him *indicates Iain* my number!" The guy persisted anyway, pulled me back over twice more to dance and ask my name. I fucking LOVE MY HAIR! Then I spent 20 minutes on the side of the road discussing my newfound desirability with Tom (I love you! You're the bestest friend ever!) who laughed a lot, and I grinned a lot, and I was drunk but people LIKE weird-haired drunks! And then I came home.

Friday Five

1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not? Yeah, I love it, because I love talking in general and it's a good way to do it.

2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone? Sarah and Nina, about 2 minutes ago.

3. About how many telephones do you have at home? My mobile, Mum's, Clare's, Papa's, and two home phones--6.

4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened? Yes, Jonas, but I get through it. I really don't mind.

5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not? Yes because it's more personal.

Finishing the survey later, sorry, but I'm drunk and hyper and I need to go to bed soon or I won't get up.

Link of the day--Scifi.com? Sure, why not. Cham's been busy there. Nveer been there myself, but meh, go see it anyway. Cham has taste.

Pic of the day. If I've used it before. I apologise, and will make up for it later.



Everybody, dye your hair, for cancer research and for picking up!

grrr SICK OF FUCKING ARGUING

Before I do a big fat rant over the Bronze riot that broke out over the first of yesterday's Pics of the Day, I'd like to discuss The Third Man. I watched this movie today, and it was fantastic. Studying Nosferatu beforehand also helped me appreciate the use of diagonal lines and unusual shapes to make the viewer disoriented and build tension, and the nods to German expressionism. God, I sound pretentious. The Third Man was a great thriller, the characters and settings were gritty and awesome, and Orson Welles! To see him so young and pre-status and really acting was fantastic. I feel like when he got older, he just had this legend built around him, so that he never had to act. He just had to be Orson Welles. For anyone who hasn't seen The Third Man, I highly recommend it.

Moving on. I posted the first of the two pics I posted in my blog yesterday on The Alt Bronze, one of my *favourite* sites that I frequent. A lot. Anyway, after asking what the boys were doing and getting a reply that they were "about to kiss," someone replied "i find it offensive to have to see two men kissing. i'm not trying to start anything.. but if you're going to be posting pics such as these, please put some kind of warning." It started an absolute uproar. She was called homophobic, some people said she was wrong but should be free to express her views, and then another argument completely broke out over someone who had attacked her. Well, her comment pissed me off. It was rude, and wrong, and implied that there was something wrong with me for liking the picture. It also implied that seeing two guys kissing is unnatural, whereas a guy and a girl is fine. The girl apologised for her point of view and gave the excuse that she grew up in a small town, but hell, weren't a lot of people raised to believe there was something wrong with gay people? I know I was, and look at me now! This was unfair and wrong, and I don't believe she had a right to ask for a warning. Rant over.

*sigh* I'm all flustered and having trouble finding a Link of the Day. How about Film Quotes & TV Trivia. The site is pretty crappy but I've been subscribed to the newsletter for a long time and it's pretty cool. Mr. Squirrely's not up to the standards of the original newsletter writer (forgotten his name) but it's still worthwhile if you're a film buff.

Pics of the Day are of my fave pics of boys kissing or close and of my favourite slash pairings. Why? Because I LIKE THEM THAT WAY!

Guess who's back. Back again.

Well it ain't Shady and it ain't Kenny, so don't get your hopes up back-rubbing men. It's just me with my usual daily installment. Today went pretty well, got to have big yelling fights with people in my Anthropology tutorial. Watched a not entirely dull doco called "My Mother India" in Asian Studies. Didn't bother going to my Written Jap tute. Had lunch with Nina, Tom, Peter and Ben, who may or may not be called Stewart. And bought bleach and green hair dye....

Because I'm taking part in "World's Greatest Shave for a Cure", my link of the day. I didn't wanna shave my head but I'm not gonna wuss out and just spray my hair orange or some shit like that either. People (by people, I mean you. specifically. Yes, you.) should join in, it's to raise money for cancer research.

While looking for the pics below, which I find hilarious and cute (coz at the time there were lots of rumours of rivalry between Nicky and Seth,) I came across this page. Which I found hilariously funny.
Although it would tend to indicate a continually growing trend with me.

Anyway, here are the pics.




Yay! I get to sleep in tomorrow! *dances*
Fly, you fools!
