    Mood: 12 Watching Batman Beyond episode 3. Highly disturbed.

    Oh god, why oh why does Bruce have Harley Quinn's and other rogues gallery villains' costumes displayed in the Batcave? Does he just steal their outfits as soon as they change into the ugly orange Arkham jumpsuits? Harley fell down a giant chasm -- did Batman climb down and strip her costume from her broken, bleeding body? D: Is it like stamp collecting but with people's clothes that he then goes and trades for other better clothes with fellow Justice League members?

    I don't care if you're a super hero or not, that's just creepy.

    Mood: 07 Yum~ Just ate the best cheddar cheese perogies EVAH

    While we were camping this past weekend we were given a copy of the Wabamun rules and warnings which included a note about wildlife to watch out for, emphasizing in particular "BEARS".

    o_O

    Well see, now we're just confused. Are these bears abnormal in some way? Are they actually ferocious man-eating bunnies that you like to pass off as bears? Or maybe park rangers dressed up in cheap bear suits in an effort to catch us off guard breaking the May Long liquor ban? They obviously pose a possible threat of some sort since you went out of your way to wield the PWR OF TEH CAPSLCK. Were the ambiguous air quotes really necessary? Now we can't tell whether it's a legitimate warning or an inside joke on behalf of the campground clerical staff that we're not in on. Or perhaps some idiots still do not understand that quotation marks ≠ emphasis.

    I just finished My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult and I think it's the closest I've ever come to actually crying reading a book. The ending was... just... *anguished little noise* For fear of spoiling the story (which apparently I very often do unintentionally -- sorry!) you should just take me at my word when I say the book is amazingly good and you should all go read it now.

    I started watching the first few episodes of Batman Beyond and it manages to fill the little empty hole that BtAS left after finishing off the final season. It's much darker than the original series... Watching the first episode suddenly makes the whole scene in Revenge of the Joker where Terry descends down into the graffitied Batcave so much more gut wrenching. D: Also, I don't know whether it's just because he's crotchety and old in this series or not, but Bruce is much more of a dick sometimes in BB. "Bring back the suit." "No!" *Beep* "GAAAA!" ^^; (Oh Batman, disgruntled and wrinkly as you may be, we still love you.)

    On a reverse note, does anyone else cringe at how often Batman says "chum" in the older comics? I realize the character has changed a lot since over the years, but it's very... un-Batsy compared to today's modern Batman who's much more broody and much less... bromancey. Look at him, he smiling too much! It's unnerving. Like ol' Brucie's trying to throw you off and at any moment he's going to whirl around and punch you in the face when you're not expecting it. (Or rape you if you're Robin.)

    "Come on, chum. Let's go home... and 'go to bed'." *Grins and swings off into the sunset.*

    Suuure.

    Mood: 06 Mood here.

    Very good House this week~ The whole Kutner suicide thing came out of nowhere. Turns out Penn is leaving the show for greener pastures, or in this case, white pastures. Team Obama/Penn FTW!

    Huddy romping! I was promised House-Cuddy shagging before this season was out and I didn't even know about it? So where was it in Monday's final episode? Wheeeeeeere?! D:

    EDIT: I was lied to by the interwebs! Monday wasn't the season finale! We still have four episodes to go, plenty of time for long-awaited Huddy sex! X3

    SO excited for new Doctor Who this weekend~ *SPOILER* Wilf is going to be the new official companion? I guess we won't have to worry about any hanky pankery in the Tardis. */SPOILER*

    Mason bought me the first two Avatar season boxsets for my birthday and the tracking information says they should arrive todaaaaay! YAY YAY YAY! *Love*

    Mood: 13 Tired

    Dear angry teens:

    If you would like me to post your anti-Twilight rants in the front page article section -- which I'd be more than happy to do simply for the uproar and fangirly angst that it would stir -- please try to make a half-decent submission that doesn't break every spelling and grammar rule in existence. (Despite what you may think, netspeak is not an acceptable form of English.) Also preferably a submission that is more than two sentences long. (Extra exclamation points do not count towards your word count.) I am always up for spreading more LULz at the expense of Stephanie Meyer and the Twilight series, but I can't do so when you don't put in any effort!

    On the related note of Twilight fuckwittage: If Twilight Were 10 Times Shorter and 100 Times More Honest

    So I've been badgered into taking a trip on the Twitter bandwagon. I made a deal that I'd use it for a week and I'm on my fifth day and am still not quite sure what the whole point of Twitter is. I'm trying, I really am. *Squints* Wait, is that... Nope. Sorry. Don't see it.

    I don't understand why people are flocking towards this awkward and somewhat useless middle ground between blogging and Facebooky social networking. I particularly dislike the part of this week-long deal where I'm being forced in turn to follow every Tom, Dick, and Sally that randomly decides to follow me. I don't understand. I don't know these people. I don't care what they're thinking, doing, or saying through out the day. Why are strangers following my Twitter feed in the first place? D:

    The only Twitterism that I've grown fond of is the handy ability to immediately update my Facebook status straight from the Twitter app on my desktop. That's cool. I also like the idea of being able to include a widget on the side of my blog that shows my recent updates. Basically I like and will probably continue using anything involving it that directly relates to updating or displaying my Facebook status, which essentially is all Twitter really is. Starting Friday though, I'm cleaning out my spammed-to-hell Twitter friend list.

    I didn't get to play any Guild Wars tonight, which I'm very sad about. :c I really need to buy a cheap computer headset. Playing in a party that I can't talk outloud to directly is really hard; I don't know where people are, or what they're doing, or what I'm supposed to be doing! There's not exactly a lot of time to spare to type out game plans while you're being mauled by a fucking gang bang of vicious skale monsters, you know?

    I'm a sucker for sappy fan-made shipper music videos (because, yes, I am that much of a nerd.) Sadly these are the only well done Ten/Rose ones I could find:



    *Hearts*

    And YAY for a new 2D animated movie from Disney~! :D A teaser is out for The Princess and the Frog and I'm very excited. Too much 3D has taken over the animated feature film and television industry, and the little hand-drawn loving part of my soul dies a bit each time. ;_; They just never seem to have the same impact on me as the old pencil and paper animation does. Back to basics, Disney! Make some magic again! Chop chop!

    Mood: 06 Squee!

    There's a nice old woman at Mason's work that constantly makes Mason lunches and goodies to bring home. Today I walked in to find she made us a giant tin of amazing sugar shortbread-ish type icing cookies~! They even have little cut up pieces of maraschino cherry on the top of them~ *OM NOM NOM NOM* I feel like I should bake her something tasty in return maybe or I'll throw off my tasty treat karma.

    Ahoy, neat girly find of the day! Where have you been all this time? Have any of you other ladies heard of this? I saw the commercial on T.V. and was like "HEY. I have that problem!" What a simple, marvelous idea! I found a pretty much identical bra strappy hiding product called Embrace which is sold in one of the stores here in town for cheap. I'll have to pick one up.

    We finished up the end of Doctor Who season 4 this evening and OMG FINALLY LONG AWAITED ROSExDOCTOR KISSAGE! *squee!* X3 *Rolls around on the couch in fangirlish glee while Mason looks at her strangely* I heart Ten x Rose, I really really do. Now they can go off and have lots of Rose Tyler / Half-Human Half-Time Lord babies~ And Doctor Donna! What happens to Doctor Donna? Isn't she supposed to be in next season? D:

    I know they usually make a habit anyway of getting the Doctor to snog/be snogged by someone at least once each season (which is always awesome), but adorable Ten x Rose face-suckage deserves to be showcased:


    Chelle, I don't remember whether or not you gave me the latest Christmas special. I have this vague memory of being given a CD with it on but for the life of me can't find physically find it. Yes? No? Am I crazy?
