12:45AM - alias fandom.
So, Alias. I've watched it all with friends over the past few months and I am intrigued by the crack of it all. Where's the fandom at? Is it still active? Where's the interesting fic? Where's the good porn? (Any and all pairings, I'm not picky, just curious.) I've been Googling a bit, but not turning up much, sadly. Is this one of those shows that doesn't have much of a fandom?
9:25AM - Reaffirming Your Faith In Just About Everything
*ahem*
If you have not yet seen this new ad for the Discovery Channel, you totally should.
It's got everything -- astronauts, singing Egyptologists, Mike Rowe, Bear Grylls serenading a tarantula, giant squid, Adam Savage with a flame thrower, and Stephen Hawking singing -- and wraps it all up with an old campfire song and tops it with the best slogan ever: "The World Is Just Awesome."
(If you have seen a version of this on the network, you may have seen the shorter, Hawkings-less one -- this is still worth a gander.)
I have watched this about 58 times already. :-) If this thing doesn't win a Clio award I'm going to kick someone.
Edit: This just in! Apparently there was some Yay-Discovery event, at which some stars appeared with a chorus of kids and did a live version of this! No Mythbusters, but you get Mike Rowe, Bear Grylls, the guy from Cash Cab, and -- yes -- some of the crew from DEADLIEST CATCH! Singing live!
11:10AM - "And she wound up on top of me again, and she says, 'hit me.' And I say, 'oh, shit.' "
I didn't know Dante Basco did slam poetry. And all I can hear is Zuko...
