Watching a "Joan of Arcadia" marathon on Syfy- I had no idea Michael Welch ("Twilight"'s Mike Newton) played Joan's brother Luke. He's kind of awesome. And adorable. And not puffy.
The current episode includes Joan auditioning for a musical about singing and dancing zombies, and the subject line was G*d telling her to try out. LOVE.
"REAL WORLD DC". OH SHIT. IT'S COMING. Damn you, Fox, I hold you responsible for this- take away "Glee" for like 5 months and this is what I end up doing with my time. I remember when they were filming in DC- my coworker Andrew kept reporting back about the RW kids partying in Georgetown. I haven't been watching a lot of reali-crap lately, but from the promos I have to give MTV kudos for showing two pretty boys kissing as a prelude to sex, and then talking about it. RW has come a very long way from Pedro. Thank gawd. And now that I think about it, oh gawd, I will (probably) watch (at least one episode of) "The Real Housewives of DC" too. Because everyone loves a trainwreck, right?
There's an icon comm that I got TDE affiliated with that I basically joined and watch because one of my favorite makers was a member, but she went on hiatus at the beginning of the year hasn't come back. I stayed on the watch list because it wasn't bothering me too much, and then last week I noticed (right around when they changed their name) that... I really hate their icons. They win awards, but the coloring is all the same and the cropping is not that special (imo), and they use the same effects and textures every single time. It's an elite comm, too, which is weird. I guess I can see the point- it's basically quality control. That said... I'm going to take those tutorials on animated icons, and keep using as much damn color as I like in my own stuff, because entry after entry of the sameness us completely unappealing.
Got a bit frustrated at PT yesterday- things hurt again that weren't hurting last week. Some cutesy girl in pink was saying something about having to bail halfway through her step class and all I could think was "YOU TOOK A STEP CLASS? I WANNA TAKE A STEP CLASS!" Which is weird, because I fucking hate step classes. My physical therapist gave me ice and stim- slapped a bunch of electrodes on my back, then paper towels and a giant ice pack thing and then cranked up the current. The electrodes made me chuckle- it felt like little cat tongues tugging at my skin.
You know what's good? Caramel hot chocolate with a dash of sea salt. Breakfast at 11am. Getting work done. The wind outside. A marathon of a quirky, interesting show about religion that doesn't make me want to kill something. Finishing up my pulped_fictions holiday entry. Plans for NYE with cool people. :)
