Ducks - You say that like it's a bad thing.

I don't know what the hell is going on with me, but now that I'm over the Death Flu, I now have some kind of Crohn's related intestinal HORROR going on that is just completely driving me crazy. I'm nauseous all the time (in spite of the powerful anti-nausea medicine I take), I feel like I'm getting ready to give birth to a number of aliens that are currently nesting in my gut, and I AM MORE MISERABLE THAN USUAL. OH! And to make things even more fun, my CPAP mask broke, and I feel like I didn't sleep at all last night. I'm sure the part I need to fix it will be outrageously expensive and take weeks to get here.

I HATE TODAY.

LOL Okay, this was funny: http://syndicated.livejournal.com/xkcd_rss/201317.html

I confess, a lot of times, I don't even get xkcd, but others, it makes my day. Part of what killed me with this one is that just about a week ago, I had to go through something similar when my cable internet went out (remember when I imploded?). I already knew it wasn't my computer, but I had to reboot it anyway. Of course, I was talking to a computer that was walking me through an endless script, so I didn't really have a chance to talk to an actual person, but... still, this made me chuckle. They should have tech support choices for beginners, intermediate, and advanced computer people.

Of course, feeling as crappy as I do means I'm WAY behind on my TV. I managed to get through Bones, which I thought was adorable, but that was it. I haven't even watched my ep of Terriers from the other day yet. SO!

WAAAH! Why was Vampire Diaries a repeat last night? I don't need this crap today. *sob*

Well, as many of you know, our town exists in the late 19th century, so when the wind blows, we lose power, so I'm going to post this now. *sigh* Of course, the book I'm reading right now is an EBOOK, so I won't even be able to read if they power stays out. BASTARDS OF WEATHER! *Shakes Fist at Gods of Weather*

ANYWAY.

After last week, I'm not so quick to bow down this week. We'll have to see how things go.

Okay, TV catch up time. Most of these are brief because I'm sick and I don't feel commenty.

Terriers was REALLY good this week -- the story is starting to go somewhere. Come on, baby, hold on a while longer! ( Read more... ) I love this show, I don't want it to go away. For those of you who have been holding off, or thought it didn't have enough umph, the action is really starting to pick up, and the storyline is growing some teeth.

Stolen from cleolinda: The Avatar-Inspired Masturbation Toy, For The Man Who Masturbates To Avatar

... whut?

But don't feel bad, ladies or gents so inclined... there's a corresponding model for you too.

You can put it on the shelf next to your sparkling Twilight Edward Peen.

Whatever happened to old fashioned things that were like, flesh colored? Maybe sparkly pink just for fun? Or hey, here's something radical -- USING YOUR HANDS!

Sorry. Themed sex toys wig me out. Especially when they look like that Avatar dildo. *shudder* (Although, I don't know, it might be interesting if it wasn't THEMED.)

I'm not a big Oprah fan, but I have to say A MILLION THANK YOU'S to the woman for interviewing JK Rowling instead of Stephenie Freaking Bane of My Existence Meyer. THANK YOU.

Of course, I'm bored senseless by the interview, but it's the principle of the thing. You don't have to be fascinated by a writer to really enjoy their material, no?

~

Speaking of writing, starting tomorrow or Sunday and over the next month or so, I'm going to be needing a beta or two or three for some fic I'll be writing -- mostly B/A mush for schmoop_bingo. Some will be porny, but all with be morshy. Anybody in the mood, please let me know.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled waiting for Supernatural to come on.

You better be having a happy Talk Like a Pirate Day, or ye'll be WALKING THE PLANK!

Yarrrr.

(It never stops being funny. Sorry.)

I'm at the end of Season 2 of The Wire, and I have to say, I had NO IDEA that Chris Bauer (who plays our poor sherrif Andy Bellefleur on True Blood) was such a great and accomplished actor! He's just one of those guys who seems to slip under the radar, you know? Anyway, I've been really impressed with him in this role.

But I'll always hear him screaming, "PIIIIGGG!"

Also in regard to The Wire: I can't help but love Omar. He's such a tricky bitch. I know he has to die sooner or later, but still.
