Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

I'm not 100% sure it's accurate to say 'happy' Veterans Day, but thank you all for your service! I have many, many relatives who are currently in the armed forces, or veterans of various branches, so it's never been far from my life.

As I type, we're watching the best part of Lord of the Rings, aka the part with Galadriel. :D

While watching Dancing With the Stars, I have two questions:

1. How can you have Idina Menzel as guest judge, on Broadway night, and not have a single team do a dance to Wicked or Rent?

2. Why is Julianne Hough always yelling?

Someday, someone will ask me where I was when the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in over 100 years. And I will proudly tell them that I was on my living room couch, watching it happen. While Andrew went to bed. :P

Ahoy mateys! Please be enjoyin' the last little bit o' Talk Like A Pirate Day, while I do the least piratical thing o' all, foldin' laundry.

And o' course, it be the birrrthday o' Hermione. A pirate never forgets tha'.

Arrrrr!

Pokemon Update: Caught a Dugtrio and named it Cedric, to go wth my Diglett named Diggory.


MH Mermaid Update:

Howleen. Don't ask why she has clownfish friends, because I don't have a great answer. They just matched her color scheme. :)

I think I was mistaken yesterday, and today was the Tower of London day, but what can you do? Anyway, on the 27th, we also went to Westminster Abbey (twice), Tower Bridge, and I took roughly 50 (more) pictures of Big Ben.

And now, a letter to NBC:

Dear NBC,

I know why you cancelled Heartbeat, because that show was a hot mess. But it was so much fun to watch, never boring, and gave me a new game to play (ala horrify the Twilight noob) which was to tell my mother about the 'medical' stuff they did on the show, and watch her face. (Possibly you cancelled it because you didn't think you could top the absolute bat-shit insanity of transplanting a defective, HIV positive, 10 year old boy's heart into a CHIMPANZEE. Which was stolen from a medical research facility. It was AMAZING.)

However, your handling of the inevitable love triangle is what I have an issue with. You had Millicent (great name by the way) tell Alex that it was impossible for her to choose between Jesse Shane (TERRIBLE name) and Pierce Harrison (trying waaaay too hard, with this name, but he's so pretty) and then proved that by having her marry both of them in Vegas. Even if you had been renewed, where the fuck were you going with this? Only one of those marriages can be valid, because polygamy, and she chose Pierce TWICE, so seriously, what the hell? Even if she had ended up with stupid Jesse with his stupid Australian accent, that at least would have made sense.

P.S. I admire the commitment you had to including women, people of color, gay people, and trans people on this show. Don't think that was the reason you had to cancel, it was more stuff like using that guy's daughter as a stand-in heart & lung machine, and having the cardiac surgeon perform an autopsy (seriously) on the guy who dropped dead in front of her while teaching her how to use a robot to do surgery.

P.P.S. Thank you at least for letting Jamie Kennedy and Ji-Sung get together. <3

Movies I have seen today: Deadpool and Great Scarrier Reef.

-Deadpool was hilarious, and I quite enjoyed it. Not as groundbreaking as I was hoping, yet still amazing.

-Great Scarrier Reef was also pretty good, predictable, but much better than Boo York. However, Mattel, WHERE IS MY GIL MANTA RAY DOLL?! Hands down the best character design of that movie, and he's nowhere to be found. WTF.

Well, I'm sad that we're not going to get any snow here (WHERE IS MY WINTER, MASSACHUSETTS?) so here are some funny pictures from my Pinterest. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: There is some interesting language under here. And I fucking love Thranduil.

( I'm in a very LotR mood lately... )

Face Off is back! For those of you new to my journal, Face Off is a show on SyFy that asks makeup artists to meet a challenge each week (similar to Project Runway or America's Next Top Model) and then judges them and eliminates someone. I typically do weekly posts, showing the winning and losing looks, and last season my fav ended up winning. :D


( So let us take a look at the first challenge! )
