  • 08:21 @mkcho73 Think Mimi from the Drew Carey show. #
  • 09:43 @mkcho73 Wait, what? This eye shadow is not of my invention. They’re all wearing it, on their own volition! I am merely the observer. #
  • 10:39 Puma Man, he flies like a moron! #
  • 15:48 My breath reeks of garlic. Life is good. #
  • 18:21 @jimmyaquino Have you been to Good Health Burger? Veggie burgers that are CRAZY DELICIOUS. Even this mad carnivore approves. #
  • 18:22 @boymonster Explosions pretty! #
  • 20:24 Ooh, a Canadian hurdler named Priscilla! I know nothing about you, but I’m cheering for you on principle! #
  • 21:51 HOLY COW. OLYMPIC TRAMPOLINE. My jaw is on the floor! This is not human! It is secretly filmed IN SPACE, where physics does not apply! #
  • 22:12 Middleman or Olympics? Choices, choices… Life is so hard! #
  • 22:23 Chose Olympics. Will watch rerun of Middleman at 12. Men’s gymnastics is worth two-hour deferral of Middleman love. Mmm, Still Rings. #
  • 00:08 @mkcho73 So much love for her. #

I can’t wait for tonight’s Middleman. Preview here!

  • 22:39 Why is EVERY FEMALE OLYMPIC GYMNAST wearing excessive blue eye shadow? Is there a uniform? #
  • 22:45 It’s always so much fun to watch the male pommel horse gymnasts when I can’t even do proper push-ups. SO MUCH YUM. #

The intrepid fangirl reporter returns! Subterranean Press didn’t give me an exact date, but they did specify “very early October.” Looks like Backup just got bumped forward 3-4 weeks! Huzzah!

Link spam, spam, spam, spam, wonderful linkspam!

New York Times: Is Jon Stewart the Most Trusted Man in America?

Photo from Half-Blood Prince: The Unbreakable Vow scene. Is it okay if I just paste photos of Lucy Saxon over Narcissa Malfoy’s head in every frame of the movie? Because SO MUCH NO. I dig her coat, though. I want a coat like that.

And speaking of the Malfoy sisters, a fanart rec: Makani presents Bella meets Bella

This Just In: Cosplaying Makes You Undateable! Funny that I get hit on the most when I’m dressed as a fictional character. Clearly, eHarmony doesn’t understand that cosplayers generally aren’t interested in dating the kind of person that would pass up on a photo of us in cosplay gear.

I’d date me.

Chungy asked for Pushing Daisies in the meme, so here goes!

1. bake cupcakes for
Emerson! He needs cupcake-love. Then maybe he’ll knit me a hat or a cute pair of gloves in return, as I lose hats and gloves faster than an arcade gamer loses quarters.

2. trust with the keys to my car
Ned, I suppose. He gets in a lot of potentially car-damaging situations, but he does love driving, and he would have the best of intentions for keeping my car safe.

3. put thumbtacks on their chair
I can’t think of anyone in the Pushing Daisies universe that deserves this! There is so much love in this show, even the villains are too caricatured to deserve thumbtacks. Instead, I shall thumbtack anyone that ever considers canceling it.

4. have a crush on
*clutches Ned defiantly as Chuck and Olive attempt to pry me loose with a crowbar*

5. pack up and leave if they moved next door
That guy who lived in the sewer in the explosive pop-up book episode, simply because of the smell!

6. vote for President
Digby

7. pick as my partner in a buddy movie
Olive. So much Olive.

8. pair up
Olive and the Homeopathic Mood Enhancer Guy. F’reals.

9. vote off the island and into the volcano
Ditto #3. I love all the major characters, and the nasty minor characters already tend to get their just desserts. (Har!)

10. wheedle into fixing my MP3 player
Wouldn’t it be cool if Ned’s ability to touch dead things and bring them back to life applied to electronics? Though as my mp3 player is an iPod and Apple has an awesome customer service policy, this would not be a problem that needed fixing by fictional characters.

Why does Subterranean Press list the Thomas-centric novelette Backup, initially slated for Halloween, among the September releases? Is this a mistake, or did we just jump over a month closer to delicious Jim Butcher/Mike Mignola collaboration?

This intrepid fangirl investigates!

  • 00:37 12:36am on a Friday night and I’M GOING HOME! You can’t keep me here forever, massive amount of character work! #
  • 10:31 @fredhicks Very Chinese philosophy of you, Fred. Way to find the silver lining, whatever it is. :D #
  • 10:47 Did I get a paper cut in my sleep? But there’s no paper to cut myself on! #
  • 12:21 @jimmyaquino I do have my own TV! It’s 37". That’s why roomie wanted to use it for her Olympics party. But it’s all good now! Mmmbittorrent. #

  • 10:00 I feel bright-eyed and chipper this morning! Perhaps it has to do with getting out at 7 last night and going to sleep at midnight. #
  • 16:01 I has a cookie! Om nom nom. #
  • 20:37 JOY! At long last, have converted best friend to a Codex Alera fan! #

Challenge: Dress male character in a yellow bodysuit that is sexy, bold, and daring.

Thought Process: Hmm, I suppose I could look at how they translated comic book Wolverine’s yellow spandex bodysuit to the screen for the X-Men movies OH WAIT THEY DIDN’T. And you know why they didn’t? Because it’s IMPOSSIBLE without making him look like a TROPICAL FISH.

WHY, out of all the colors in the rainbow, would you pick YELLOW?

I love my job.

*sighs and goes to look for Olympic speed skating bodysuits as reference*
