...I can use this banner:

Because I love Cookie so, and I find that pic so hilarious...

It doesn't bother me that people read this that I don't talk to, but I just really love the banner. Would it really bother anybody if I did go FO?

I've been working on this for 2 weeks. It's my longest journal entry ever. Read at your own time suckage...

1. Bold the names of guys you'd definitely have sex with.
2. Italicize the names of guys you might have sex with after a little persuasion.
3. Leave the guys who don't do anything for you alone.
4. Turn gray the names of guys you can't actually get a mental image of. (I actually just ignored those ones too.)
5. Strike the guys you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
6. ADD FOUR OF YOUR OWN AT THE END. NOTE THAT THESE ARE THE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, NOT THE ACTORS THEMSELVES...(That's a whole other survey!)

Some new pics of Dom turned up--apparently he did a photoshoot in Paris last winter. You can see all the pics here. (You might have to register if you're not registered at AllDominic.)

Anyway, here are my two faves:

Sexy Man


Little Boy


I do finally have my American Idol pics, but I have to go through and organize them, so hopefully tomorrow I can post my concert recap, TWO WEEKS after the fact. Nobody will care anymore, but oh well.

Enjoy the view! Happy Tuesday! (I'm especially happy because my copy of Penelope came in the mail today!)

I know there are a few on my f-list, so please give this a gander if you have the time.

I watched most of S4 of the X-Files in 1996-97 when it aired (doesn't S4 end with people thinking Mulder is dead, or am I on crack?). I saw some of the beginning of S5, too, I'm pretty sure, but then I went on my mission and I was off TV from October 97 to April of 99. I don't think I watched any in 1999 because I didn't have FOX in good reception where I lived, but I know I watched the last two or three seasons, so I guess it depends what year it ended...anyway, I'm totally rambling. I wasn't addicted to the show, but I followed it enough to have a pretty good clue about what was going on and I watched the first movie at some point, and I do want to see the new movie.

My questions are: When was Scully abducted, and how long was she gone for? When did it happen, which season?

I'm watching the X-Files Revelations DVD because I have no time to watch all 9 seasons anytime soon to get caught up, and the movie comes on this Friday. I don't know that I'll see it this week, but I'm trying to get prepared.

I watched The Pilot this weekend and I really liked the parallel with them talking in the hotel room with Scully on the bed and Mulder on the floor because there is a similar scene in the series finale that I remember very distinctly. This really was a well done show. The Pilot is just awesome (and set in Oregon!).

Anyway, I'm not as good a fangirl when it comes to this fandom, but I do care and I am invested, so please help me! :D

David's cooling off, just for you, on your special day! :D

No worries, no spoilers lie here except the fact that you should get your ass to the theatre pronto.

The Dark Knight is by far my favorite movie of 2008.

I wasn't a big fan of Batman Begins. The action sequences were too long, I didn't care about his *training* and I liked Katie Holmes as the love interest about as much as I like mushrooms (i.e. not at all).

Anywho, I do love Chris Nolan. He gave us Momento and The Prestige after all, so I know he's a brilliant filmmaker.

Christian Bale is, well, Christian effing Bale.

And Heath Ledger is, as you know, no longer with us.

When Heath passed in January, I would have classified myself on a scale of 1 to 10, about a 4 in level of fangirlyness. I do own a few of his films, more for the films than for him, so I went to TDK with no intention of being caught up in the hype about his performance. I saw The Brothers Grimm and Lords of Dogtown, so I already knew the guy could act. His death didn't make me run out and rent Brokeback Mountain and nothing could ever really make me want to watch it. Never had any interest, never will.

All I will say about TDK is it's NOT hype. He's amazing. And for a girl who was 14 years old when Jack took his turn as The Joker, all I will say is this is not your older sister's joker.

If any of you have seen it and would like to discuss the film, please enter in. I have a feeling I'll be talking about it for the rest of the summer. The themes in this film are so strong, gah. If I could hug them all, I would.

Honorable mention to Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and the untouchable Morgan Freeman. Also Mahone (Bill Fichtner) makes an appearance, as does Richard (Nestor Carbonell) from Lost.

So, my Puerto Rican Wedding fic is coming along nicely. All for it's the weirdest thing ever.

I have a question for any of you that were reading my Effects Series (so really this question is just for happywriter06 but anyone can weigh in with any thoughts) or who have read other WIPs that have never been finished...

What I started to write has faded away entirely, but I had this sudden idea of how to finish it that will sort of gloss over the details I originally intended to write. It would be sort of a fastforward to get to the climax, which was an emotional journey between two characters. The backdrop just happened to be an action-packed story that I've since lost my jones for. This is the question: would you rather the author finish a WIP even if it doesn't give you all the events in minute detail, or would you rather them not even bother if they've lost the original thread of the story? Potato, poTAUTo, you know? What do you think?

but I tried! Happy Birthday, spoiled_andrea!



I hope you run into Went very soon. Tip: go to a Starbucks! :-)

Not safe for the spoilphobes, so here's a cut to protect your virtue...
