fannishness; anecdotes

[hermionesviolin]

1. hi-res X3 poster images

2. a download of the Bones ep w/ Adam Baldwin -- which I downloaded last night and which plays as a blank avi, wtf?

3. Gina Torres is being hot on The Shield? *is sad to not get FX*

4. Prompted by the X3 pictures on my wall, Eric told me that the Ghost Rider trailer is gonna be attached to the X3 movie. He is annoyed that Nicholas Cage is playing Ghost Rider 'cause he doesn't like Nicholas Cage. I said I didn't particularly have strong feelings either way.
     "He named his kid Kal-el." (Kal-el Coppola Cage)
     "Not his best moment," I admitted. But not as bad as "Moon Unit," I pointed out.
     "Moon Unit"? Apparently this was completely new knowledge to Eric.
     I couldn't remember the other one ("Dweezil") so I Googled. And thereby learned that Frank Zappa had 4 badly named kids. (Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Rodan, and Diva) I totally thought there were just the 2 (Moon Unit and Dweezil).

5. glossing made my day like whoa.

I am yet again considering getting a del.icio.us

Probably as public service much like tagging since LJMemories-dump basically works for keeping track of the stuff I personally have yet to read/officially rec. [Though I could also tag by themes etc., thus aiding my own searching/referencing purposes. *ponders* And yes of course my tagging system function as a search aid probably even more for myself than for anyone else. I mean, it is about me first and public service second.]

This is gonna be the part where nobody responds and I ultimately decide to go ahead and do it, right?

(Ooh, if I did del.icio.us I could also do it for fanart. Though, see, the danger in that is that then I might never do up a fanart recs page on my site.)

Day before Break? Yeah, 's been a slow day.

My trains ran fast this morning, so I was in at like 8:35. (Usually I'm in around 8:40, 8:45.)
Greg (who's always in before me): Do you live sufficiently close, or do you get up sufficiently early from far away?

Yesterday I decided not to bring a brownie with lunch and ended up craving one and bought a Snickers bar.
So today I brought a brownie and (before I'd eaten it) Barbara came back from a meeting bearing (among other things) fruit and cookies.

Wednesday's Metro there was a kerfluffle about IHOP coming to Harvard Square. 'Cause, um, it's a chain.
Non-kerfluffly, The Hempest is coming to Upstairs at the Garage. Oh the Northampton convergences.

Millionaire the other day I was wrong. Synovial fluid is cracking your knuckles, not popping your ears.

The receipt from a previous person who had my Martín Espada library book has 2 items on it:
   Imagine the angels of bread: poems
   Betty Crocker's Step-by-step cookbook
I was amused.

Rich's cell phone alarm went off and I jumped.
"I startle easily; it's not my fault."

Edit: Almost forgot: club_joss is doing BK's "Cry Havoc" -- which still makes me cry.

1. I love it when there are reciepts in my library books from old borrowers.

I really like del.icio.us. I still update the recs LJ, because that feels more official to me, but things were starting to fall through the cracks with my old way of doing things (which was basically, paste the links into a word doc, write the blurbs, and hope I didn't leave anything out, as I would end up with multiple versions of the list - home, work, parents' PC etc.).

So I use it mostly for my own organizational purposes, rather than for sharing, but I know other people do use it - er, my list there, i mean. It's here: http://del.icio.us/victoria.p

Yeeeeaaaah, that whole Gina Torres thing is really making me regret my decision to not get cable. Or at least making me regret that no one seems to be screencapping it.

X-men pictures take my breath away.
God- I can't *wait*.

Wanna fucking time machine. (V for Vendetta is out today and I *forgot*. Walked home without seeing it. Hopefully will go tomorrow)

In a recent book I checked out I found a post card of Athens that had never been written on.

Once I found an advertisement from the turn of the century tucked into an ancient book in the uni library. I so kept it, too. LOL

Well, it wasn't an actual sex scene. Just the beginning of one.

We saw Gina Torres booty, though.
