Oh, the Urban-ity.

[lillbet]

Hey folks. I was offline and looped on Nyquil all weekend, and trust me- it was a very good thing. Really. I feel tons better (though not totally healthy) and able to face the world- able, I just don't want to right now. Public "I'm sorry" to lethokis but at 1:57:36 pm on Friday (to be fair, I said that would happen in my entry Friday) I was out the door and didn't log in again until yesterday.

This weekend was very low key. I dragged myself to brunch at DCita's Sunday, Benifer came over on Sunday to put the bathroom shelf back up and watch Iron Chef (ALTON, I HEART YOU), and last night I managed to get in and out of VA for Chia-Chia's bbq. My sense of taste is shot, but the pint of Haagen Dazs dark chocolate ice cream was good anyway. Drank a lot of Gatorade. At some point I will probably post reviews of all the movies I watched this weekend. Bananas, I tell you. I tried to read MaryJanice Davidson's Fish Out of Water, but I'm over the tough bitch heroine thing. So, so over it. Started Mr. Muo's Traveling Couch by the guy who wrote Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress. So far, so good.

So Ben, while putting the shelf back up, drilled two holes in the wall that went clear into my bedroom, something I didn't notice until I was getting ready for bed. I was totally out of it at that point and was convinced that I was seeing things because of the Nyquil, but next morning- HOLES IN THE WALL! I was all "GAH! TEH HOLES!" *stagger* *clutch head* *koff* *wheeze* but luckily, I bought spackle when I moved in and it filled the holes quite nicely. :)

I joined ontd_startrek and after opening up my LJ friend's page this morning I was a little annoyed at how it's eating the page, but then I saw this gif (TEH EYEBROW! *swoon*), and I'm thinking I'll suck it up a bit longer.

Someone on there tried to get "GQ Motherfucker" on Urban Dictionary and failed- probably because they were too specific? (the Trek cast are not, I'm thinking, the only GQ motherfuckers out there...). So adorkable.

Putting up more writing tonight and catching up on Pulped Fictions. Or sleeping. Will see how I feel.

Everyone have a good weekend?

I'm just catching up myself from being internet-less all weekend.

I'm glad your cold is better. I just wanted you to know that I didn't get your cold.

I love the eyebrow.

[lillbet]

I was just checking out the Reading Page and apparently Nadine was quite prolific, so there's much to catch up on. XD

I've got some Halls to suck on, but I'm pretty much better. UpstairsLady has it too and in her own words wouldn't wish it on anyone, so she got it instead of you, apparently. *lol*

Teh eyebrow is ♥ I hope someone will take the time to put together a vid of all of his eyebrow moments and post it on YouTube. That would be so amazing...

[bethyb]

LOL I love Alton too! I thought I was the only one! Glad you are feeling better too.

Man I had to join ontd_startrek as well. I just can't stay away from the pretty and it will hold me over till I can see the movie again.

[lillbet]

Girl, Alton is my dream man- he's a geek, loves cooking, has a mixer with FLAMES ON IT, and can make even the dullest things sound VERRE EXCITING. When I found out he was married I was dejected for a whole minute. ♥

IKR? I'm itchin' to see this flick again but in the meantime, I haz crazy ONTD folks to tide me over. ♥

[bethyb]

He brings sexy science back to cooking. His show is so cheesy and dorky, but I love it.

Man and they ARE crazy! It's fun to watch.

[lillbet]

But that's the thing, it's not taxing to the brain. I'm not a science person by any stretch, but he just sorta sucks me in by breaking everything down and somehow more accessible. Can you tell I'm totally an Alton fangirl? :D

CIP: someone posted this in response to something else and it is just SO FETCH.

[bethyb]

Fan girl away, bb! Alton needs the love.

LOL, it's so MFGQ! I like the one with Bana and Urban.

[roh_wyn]

Glad to hear you're recovering. It took me like two weeks to beat Teh Sick, but I think I may have finally done it.

That gif cracks me up. Karl Urban eyebrow dancing ftw.

[lillbet]

Thanks, hon. :) I was just reading about your weekend and it sounds like you had a fabulous time!

And YAY FOR BEATING TEH SICK! For it is damnable and unpleasant and has NO PLACE IN OUR LIVES! ER, "LUNGS"!

Eyebrow dancing is a srs skill, bb. ♥

[roh_wyn]

Eyebrow dancing is a srs skill, bb

Abso-freakin'-lutely! I used to dazzle (and yes, I mean that in the most Edward Cullen-ish way possible) people (by which I mean man-shaped people) by coyly arching an eyebrow.

It's my "you cannot be srs" face. ;)

[lillbet]

OOH! You can do it too? DO WE GET A PICTURE????

I can sort of do it, but there's squintiness involved and it sort of kills the effect, sadly. ;p

[roh_wyn]

No pictures, but I'm very good at the single eyebrow lift. It really annoys my brother who cannot do it no matter how hard he tries. R has to physically hold up his eyebrow with a finger to do it. ;)

I was once flirting with this guy, and I did the eyebrow lift thinking I had moved in for the kill, but he totally did it back to me, and I ended up ROFLMAO. Which killed all the flirting mojo but made him my friend for life.

*haz died of teh cute*

That's so awesome. And I do NOT have enough icons...

[roh_wyn]

I only have four icons on here. And one of them is of Russell Tovey, which means it's only appropriate for posts about ears, really.

(I watched Little Dorrit again this weekend. He made me cry. *sniff*)

[lupislune]

Glad you feel better!

Alton is pretty awesome!

With the spackle and paint, no one will ever know the holes were there :) (lol, the spell check on firefox keeps wanting to correct spackle to sparkle.) *is mildly amused*

The eye twitch would make a great icon, lol.

[lillbet]

Spackle is pretty sparkly. I'll take it. ;)

The eye twitch would make a great icon, lol.

You make animated icons, doncha? Go for it! I'd be grateful, so would half the female population of DW and LJ, I'm sure. ;D

[eumelkeks]

Oh, I like that gif. Karl Urban is hawt in a very next-door kind of way. And his eyebrows - I'd hit it.

Someone on there tried to get "GQ Motherfucker" on Urban Dictionary and failed- probably because they were too specific? (the Trek cast are not, I'm thinking, the only GQ motherfuckers out there...). So adorkable.

I looked it up on urbandictionary and it says

Celebrity of the male persuation good looking enough to grace the cover of GQ magazine

Maybe it was added later?

[lillbet]

Maybe it was added later?

That's what I'm thinking. Or else, as I said, it was rejected for being "too specific", or the ONTD entry was a dupe. Or something.

All that said, I like "GQ motherfucker". I plan to add it to my vocabulary. Right after I hold that Karl Urban film fest... I have to watch "DOOM"? *sigh*

[eumelkeks]

"GQ motherfucker" could be the equivalent to 'Geile Dreckssau' in German. *rotfl*

[lillbet]

Seriously, what is the direct translation? I'm totally curious. *lol*

[eumelkeks]

There isn't a 1:1 translation because the words have several meanings in German, too.

Geil can mean horny as well as wicked or cool.

And Drecksau could be dirty pig *lol* or *looks it up* motherfucker, depending on the group that is using the word.

[lillbet]

WHEEEEE! German lessons are gonna be FUN!

[eumelkeks]

In der Tat (indeed).

[train_lindz]

Look! I opened a Dreamwidth tab!

[lillbet]

Your love. I feel it.

[train_lindz]

I did it just for you, bb.

[lillbet]

♥




Honestly, this crossposting thing is getting to be a bit much. There's a person on my LJ flist I absolutely adore who will have nothing to do with DW and so I continue because of her, but toggling between two identical entries on two different sites is getting kinda... eh.

[train-lindz.livejournal.com]

Dammit, Liz! He's an actor, not a doctor!!!

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

I think he should get an Oscar, right now, just for that move. It should be patent...ed or something. And he *is* a doctor. That eyebrow thing cures ennui like nobody's business.

Why are you commenting here instead of DW? I'm all turned around now... O.o

And is that Jackson's Avatar 'do? Are we kvelling?

[train-lindz.livejournal.com]

I'm too lazy to open another tab...

I think this is Jackson just being all Jacksonish, making doin with his crazy avatar hair. I kinda like the mohawk ;) It suits his quirkiness.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

What describes Jacksonosity, I wonder? What are the qualities inherent in Jackson-ishness?

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're feeling better!!

Oh dear god.
I need to stay the hell away from that community while at work. I can only pretend to cough to cover my laughter for so long before I get funny looks. o_0

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Steer clear of this nastiness if you can avoid it, because I've been out of the loop for way to long as a result and will be hating life when I get back on the treadmill... tomorrow. *cries*

IKR? It's madness, I tell you, MADNESS. Someone, thank dawg, actually transcribed the Letterman list of things that Spock should say in the sequel or... something:

10. Warp Factor 8! Arby’s Closes in 10 minutes.
9. We’re entering a breach in the space-time continuum or a wormhole or some crazy crap like that.
8. Set phasers to fabulous!
7. Welcome aboard the starship enterprise – today’s in flight movie is big momma’s house 2!
6. We’ve been hijacked by Somali pirates!
5. Sir, i’m going to need Saturday off to attend my nephew’s bar mitzvah.
4. My baby-daddy is a Vulcan – on the next 'Maury!'
3. The enterprise just hit a goose, we’re gonna have to land in the Hudson.
2. Live long, prosper, and keep on hangin’ and bangin’.
1. I find your choice of hairpiece highly illogical.

I don't care. It's funneh.

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

:(
I should be able to stay away from it, though honestly right now I'm more concerned I'll wind up with some weird lung fungus from all the old crap I'm having to sieve through.

1. I find your choice of hairpiece highly illogical.
I'm liking that one only because it actually could, in theory, come out of his mouth. By that I mean I could probably come up with a situation where he'd say that. A highly unlikely situation... and one with a whole lotta slapstick, but a situation nonetheless.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

They all just cry out to be iconned, dammit. I HAVE A JOB. I'M AN EDITOR, JIM, NOT A PHOTOSHOP HOOR! Okay, that's a lie. Or at least part of it... argh.

Stay well, stay warm!

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

Photoshop hooring happens after work, remember? You can be both!
Thankfully, my new fandom project won't be able to be started until after work... which is actually in a little over an hour. Hot damn. I've got to make a t-shirt. :D

Staying warm isn't an issue. Now, staying cool might be a problem, but Alabama does warm pretty damn good. :)

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Ooh! What tshirt? WILL THERE BE PICTURES???

How's the job going, by the way? Did they get their acts together and make you all official-like?

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

It's a really random t-shirt. prthecrazyone and I fangirled for a few hours last night over Quinto's appearance on "Off-Centre" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-swIlKWfejs). We decided we needed a t-shirt that says "Without animals, all you would have in zoos is air" and on the back it'd say "TRUTH" and have a picture of a guinea pig. Yeah... pretty random, isn't it?

Yes! They did finally get their acts together and I'm working 20 with Donnelly doing archiving and then another 11ish where I've been for the last year. I'm loving the archiving. It's a bit hard to read some of the letters I have to work with, and the ones I can read are kinda dull, but I get to research the writers and stuff they talk about... it's really very cool for me. :)

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

OMG! SEAN MAGUIRE! SQUEEEEE1 Thanks for that. Ever since I heard about Quinto appearing in "So No-TORI-ous" I've been dying to see him do something funny and this is GREAT! Watching it at home. Later, while I'm, er, Photoshop hooring... I'd buy that tshirt, by the way.

The job sounds like it shaped up to be something fantastic! Congrats! :D

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

Quinto needs to do more comedy. STAT. He's already a funny guy and should spread the funny once more now that he's all big and famous. *nods*

[madeline871.livejournal.com]

Karl Urban... I think I could eat him up.

The Urban Dictionary and Fandom Wank are what I use to pass the time at work.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Fandom Wank, eh? Must check that out.

I've got an entry on Urban Dictionary- it was actually a word bratanimus coined, but she let me send it over. I think it got approved... "fanpire"?

I just realized, no Karl Urban icon. Dammit. Must go home and make one, I suppose.

And how was your weekend?

[madeline871.livejournal.com]

It's all right you don't have a Karl Urban icon because the Spock one totally makes up for it!

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU! ♥

I've been totally obsessed with making Trek icons lately and NOT using the names of the characters/DEEP MEANINGFUL song lyrics/cheesy shit.

In the meantime, LOOK WHAT JOSH MADE ME!
