Five sentences? Um... 1. KITTIES! 2. This picture makes me smile every time I see it. 3. KITTIES! 4. They look so sweet, but in reality they're about to have a fight over who gets the chair -- it's a reminder that things are not always the way they seem! 5. KITTIES!

I know, that's cheating, but... KITTIES!

My favorite part of this meme is actually see what programs everybody has on their desktop. *G*

ANOTHER MEME! SHEESH. This one is more serious.

( Privilege Meme )

Well, yes, it's important to be aware of how you are privileged, but NOW WHAT? That's what I always end up with coming out of these discussions. I have privilege... and? Can I go back and NOT have gone to summer camp? Should I refuse to accept an apartment or a job because a person of less privilege might not have gotten it? Unpacking my backpack, okay... AND? I don't know. I rarely see any positive effect in this particular discussion. Consciousness is all well and good, but consciousness without a means to act is just spinning your wheels and feeling guilty for things that were not your fault. The best you can do, I guess, is to fight against discrimination however and wherever you can.

DMB Return With Best Album Yet

W00t! That's my boys. However, shouldn't it be "DMB Returns?" It's "Dave Matthews Band," which in this instance is a single entity, not separate individuals. If they named each guy, then it would be "return" -- MIRITE?

But yeah, anyway, this album rocks HARD. I wouldn't say it's their BEST album, but it is fricking amazing! You can check out the album yourself for free at the end of that article, if you're so inclined!

Okay, I usually try to screen the majority of my Adam Lambert squee! from you guys over at lambert_ducks, but this video was the CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!

Future Glambert Fangirls of America!

I really tried to watch the Tony awards... I wanted to see some stuff from Hair, and... NPH! But he's... not really funny! WTF? :(

It's still on while I finish this, but... I'm kind of bored with it.

Finally, in closing: THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PORN!



Come get some prompts and MAKE SOME PORN! WHEEEE! Every fandom, every pairing/grouping, any possible kink you can imagine! FUN! (Dudes, there are prompts for Disney Princess porn, for eros sake.) (Weirdly though, my prompts for Buffy/Angel and Fred/Willow didn't make it on there somehow. I guess I'll just have to write them myself!)

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Hey! This is really cool -- tobyaw created a tool to find out which of your LJ Friends has come on over to DW to play!

~

Is anybody else not getting their LJ notifications... AGAIN? *sigh* FAIL, LJ. BIG FAIL.

Hahahaha Slashy M&Ms! Hee! Australia so pwns us sometimes.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks to dracodraconis via ms_danson.

NEW DMB! NEW DMB! NEW DMB! (Gods, I hate iTunes) NEW DMB! ( Okay, I'm going to get weird and emotional, here... )

FRICKIN DAVE MATTHEWS RULES. OMG THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD.

"In the past, the reaction to our records has been like having a puppy you fall in love with — in two weeks, you love it more, and in six months, you love it more. This one starts out a good-lookin' dog. And then I think it's only going to get better." - Dave

YES, that's EXACTLY how it is. And he's absolutely right about this album. I don't think I was as instantly hooked by any of their albums before this one. I'm junked out already. Others have sort of grown on me (Stand Up never really has -- I need to give it a better chance, I think), but now they stand as some of my all time favorite records. In fact, it's safe to say that "Before These Crowded Streets" and "Busted Stuff" are in my top 5.

Hulu has some great DMB stuff available. The new band shot makes me sad -- it looks so empty without LeRoi.

The video of my favorite song of all time behind the cut. ( Crush by the Dave Matthews Band )

So, courtesy of a very good media crack dealing friend, I watched LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS last night. ( Cut for spoilers. )

You know something I've learned from being out in Adam Lambert fandom? I had completely forgotten that the vast majority of people outside of LJ are NOT sophisticated about sexuality or LGBT culture and politics. AT ALL. There are some incredibly ignorant, bigoted things being said every few minutes, and it's hard just not to lose my mind and start screaming at people. And these are PRO-Adam people, supposedly! I know it's a lack of exposure/education/whatever, but... I find myself stopping every time sexuality is hinted at, skirted around, dismissed, ignored, or otherwise devalued, and wondering how much good I can do saying anything.

But of course, being the GIANT BIG MOUTH that I am, I got a thread closed today because I quietly flipped out that people were calling pictures of Adam holding his boyfriend's hand coming out of a club "Bad PR." STFU! ARRRGH. I thought I was pretty calm, considering some of the BS being spewed. I think the harshest word I used was "archaic". But still, SNIP, there it went. That is why I have my own squee zone, I guess, but MAN. WTF is wrong with people?

And in closing:



Only she made him take a BATH FIRST AND COMB HIS FREAKING HAIR.
