Finally meme time!

Stolen/encouraged by

Some of the pics below the cut are DEFINITELY not safe for work.

( List 10 celebs who could get it without asking twice. Include photos! )

Answer to last Wednesday's song: Cabaret, from Cabaret. No one guessed this.

Current Mood: accomplished

Even though they've probably existed for as long as Sherlock Holmes has, I'm pretty sure that every time the movie Sherlock Holmes plays, 100 slash fics spontaneously come into being. They don't get written, they just suddenly exist.

In other words, it was awesome, and you should all see it. I love it when men love each other (platonically, I'm sure) but won't say so, because they are men. Also, Holmes and Watson are 12. Also also, I have a real thing for big reveals, when someone explains the whole elaborate plot, as well as the person doing the revealing. Because it's SCIENCE!

One gripe though: I knew, as soon as Rachel McAdams walked on the screen, that she was going to need saving at some point in the movie, despite the fact that she's a badass, and a successful theif, and carries a knife. And I was right. Because women, no matter how cool, always need saving eventually. Blech.

Finally, Janeea and I kept drawing parallels between this movie and Firefly. Right down to the music. This is not a bad thing.

Conclusion: I have the hots for Sherlock Holmes. Always have. Right back to my childhood, with Basil, the Great Mouse Detective. (Who isn't actually Sherlock Holmes, but is close enough). But I haven't really ever read one of his stories. I should get on that.

( Cur for Dr. Horrible Act III Spoilers )

Elsewise, I'm trying to decide how often to post story bits. Any thoughts?

Current Mood: cold
Current Music: Cold Case

Just in case anyone on my friends list hasn't seen it yet, Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog.

It's a project/musical that Joss Whedon did, starring Felicia Day, Neil Patrick Harris, and NATHAN FILLION.

I personally like Act II better than Act I, as I found Act I rather dull until Nathan appeared. AND HE SINGS. But they're both pretty funny, and Act III goes up tomorrow.

If you like Joss, Nathan, Neil, Felicia, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, or any combination thereof, go watch.

In an unrelated story, I think I broke my toe at practice last night. I was kicking a hose to unroll it, and now my toe is quite puffy and slowing turning purple.

ETA: Anyone who has seen it, does it seem to you like Dr. Horrible would fit right in with Jonathan, Warren, and Andrew? I love Joss Whedon.

MY LAPTOP IS BACK IN MY LAP, AND IT IS FIXED. YAY!!!!!

And to celebrate, more babble!

( C is for Criminal Minds! )

Ok, I have to stop now, though I may come back to this topic later. Firefly is on, and it's terribly distracting. :)

Simon: This may come as a shock, but I'm not very good at talking to girls.
Zoe: Why, is there someone you are good at talking to?

Current Mood: bouncy
Current Music: Firefly - The Message

Even though I own the entirety of Firefly on DVD, it’s on Sci-Fi right now, and when I saw that I screamed, threw the flicker away from me, and settled down to watch.

And speaking of screaming, I went to NYC this weekend and saw Spring Awakening.

( Cut Cause It Got Kinda Long )

In any case, it was a lot of fun, the Healys deserve a medal, Spring Awakening is phenomenal, and if you want to hear more about the play, I can tell you in person. If you’re sure you want to know. :)

Current Mood: exhausted

1. I concluded tonight that I need to stop watching the Disney Channel, because it's making me lose all respect for Zac Efron. Every time I see his "music video" a little piece of my love for him dies.

2. I don't know if anyone watched Criminal Minds tonight (Or, as I'm pretty sure it was a re-run, watched it the first time it was on) but it was SO GOOD. I only remember to watch it occasionally, but it's always fantastic. The guy who played Ranch Burgess in Heart of Gold was in it, and just...GAH.

Reid: When does it end?
Jack: Tomorrow. *shoots the guy who kidnapped his daughter and killed her friend*

And the daugher going "Kill him Daddy. He killed Katie. Kill him." That was horrible and yet awesome at the same time.

3. After watching Bizarre Foods, I've decided that I could never eat something that was killed in front of me. Not even if it was a snake. I don't want to have seen the thing that I'm about to be consuming moving around beforehand.

Bonus: I was looking up what kind of owl Draco has for a fic of mine that I'm editing, and I saw this on his profile page on the Lexicon and laughed: Draco's interests: Quidditch, the Dark Arts, himself.

Current Mood: blah

Two things that annoy me:

1. The ad for Walk Hard where he calls the chimpanzee a monkey. CHIMPS ARE NOT MONKEYS. I've said this many times, and I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about it, but honestly. If you want to make monkey jokes in your movie, hire a monkey.

2. The fact that Beastmaster, which is AWFUL (in terms of acting, dialogue, plot, ludicrous costumes, and stuff that just makes NO SENSE AT ALL) was on for three full seasons, while Firefly (which is fantastic in all aspects) was cancelled before all 14 episodes could be shown. I like both shows, a lot, but Firefly is clearly SO MUCH BETTER.

Dad says it's because Firefly doesn't have a consistently half-naked protagonist. He may very well be right.

Current Mood: annoyed

Meme skanked from

siriusly_sex.

Name your top six TV shows right now, before reading the questions.
1. Boston Legal
2. Pushing Daisies
3. Firefly
4. Criminal Minds
5. Sex and the City
6. Inuyasha

( Yes, I know some of these aren't on the air anymore, but I don't watch much TV... )

Current Mood: blank

If you see this, post a quote from Firefly or Serenity in your journal with this message immediately.

You mean besides the one in my icon? :)

Kaylee: Wash, tell me I'm pretty.
Wash: Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion.
Kaylee: 'Cause I'm pretty?
Wash: 'Cause you're pretty.

FROM MEMORY BITCHES!

Current Mood: creative
Current Music: The Storm

Oh man, I was just watching Boy Meets World, and you know how in the later seasons Amy Matthews has another baby, and he's got a heart thing, or something? Well, guess who the baby heart doctor is? Niska!

I laughed my ass off. Niska treats little babies! And doesn't have an accent!

Somebody else, anybody else, PLEASE find this funny. Or else I'll have to admit that I'm just too huge of a dork for my own good.

Current Mood: dorky
Current Music: Les Poissons

So, I was just poking around some Firefly sites, and I found some pictures of Gina Torres in like, non-Zoe roles.

I'm sorry, but she still looks like she could kick your ass in 12 different ways.

In other news, I'M HOME! YAY HOME YAY YAY HOME YAY!

ETA: Coincidentally, my mom was watching this show tonight, and Gina Torres was on it. And she did kick SO MUCH ASS. Cause she is just like that. GO ZOE!

Current Mood: tired
Current Location: HOME
Current Music: Jimmy Neutron

So I'm thinking about being Kaylee for Halloween... Any thoughts?

I'm thinking the pink shirt & overall ensemble, with facial grease smudges and a wrench. (Not real grease, obviously, but a real wrench.

I just wish I had some more crew members to play off of...

Current Mood: creative
Current Music: Savage Garden

Ok, so I just watched the deleted scenes on my RENT DVD, and one of them is an alternate ending.

It starts out the same as the ending in the movie, but then it cuts to all of them singing the finale in the spotlights, the way they sing "Seasons of Love", only Angel isn't in his spotlight.

And that gave me goosebumps.

But then he comes out, not looking like Angel, and he touches Collins and Collins laughs and Angel takes his spotlight and they all finish the song and it brought me to tears.

It was so fucking beautiful.

(Someone, probably Renee, told me that that's how they do it on Broadway, but since I've never seen it on Broadway...)

Oh, and last night I had to go wtih Emalee and Aunt Rose to the hospital because Emalee sprained her ankle. Again. I swear, I'm gonna lock that girl up in a padded room. (And Em? It was your right ankle last time. I looked at the picture on Facebook.)

P.S. I changed my icons again, mostly just because I want to show off some Firefly ones.

Current Mood: bored
Current Music: Red Sox

I'm sorry, I really am, this is my fourth post today, but I watched Heart of Gold and Objects in Space ALONE and I need to squee.

( Cut because I'm sure most of you don't want to read my Firefly reactionary rant, and/or won't know what I'm talking about. Also, there are spoilers for the above mentioned episodes. )

Current Mood: sad
Current Music: Quiet

In the past few days I have

1. Finished The Da Vinci Code.
Verdict: Liked it. Wasn't very shocked, but was very involved just the same. Wish to discuss it with people, and see the movie.

2. Watched Trash and The Message.
Verdict: Firefly still rocks hardcore, I can kill you with my brain, and the second one was sad.

3. Seen Beauty and the Beast at the Paramount.
Verdict: It was ok, but no Disney. Mrs. Whitman can sing, but she CANNOT ACT. Gaston and Lefou were amazing.

And those are all the opinions I currently have to share.

Current Mood: disappointed
Current Music: Human Again

And now, some quotes from Billy Connoly, in no particular order. (And you have to imagine all of this being said with a heavy Scottish accent.)

"I'm the only guy I know who died in the Muppet Movie!"

"Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life;
Get wasted all the time, and you'll have the time of your life!"

"That's a whole different box of frogs."

"There was another fella in the room, who was quite obviously dead. And had been for some time. All his family's sittin' around him, talking about football, and this little boy, you know, the one they're gonna be lookin' at through bars one day, is shoving grapes up the dead fella's nose. He says "Daddy, daddy, I'm up to 17! I'm goin' for 21!" and his dad says "That's nice son."

Then my mom and I had this conversation:
Billy Connoly: *Swears. A lot.*
Me: Mom, you thought Dane Cook was bad? This guy swears twice as much as Dane Cook, and you don't mind.
Mom: Well, he has an accent, so that makes it ok.

Sometime soon I'm going to start showing off all the new Firefly icons I've found, but not yet. Just colorbars for now.

Current Mood: hot
Current Music: Birdies

Life Conclusions:

-Firefly is AWESOME. I mean, I always knew it would be, but now I've CONCLUDED it.

-I need some Firefly icons.

-Guilt is a very powerful motivator. (I came to this conclusion after watching American Justice. Just don't ask me why I was watching that.

-Cooper Neilson from Center Stage IS Chris Archer. Don't even try to argue, because you won't convince me.

-Hannah needs to pick a time for dinner tomorrow. :)

-This entry is over.
