RDR gets smart. I think we can now safely say that Lexicongate is finally over... to everyone's relief and satisfaction. |

| 2008 casualty: Bratz Dolls! |
[Dec. 4th, 2008|12:22 pm] |
A judge has ruled that Bratz Dolls are the intellectual property of Mattel, and as such must be gone from the shelves as of Jan. 1, 2009.
Where will five-year-old girls learn to dress in fishnet tights now?!
Bonus activity: I'm sure someone who doesn't have to write a 20-page paper can find some Bratz fandom wank on this very subject. |

| Mmmmmm bacon |
[Dec. 4th, 2008|01:16 am] |
Candied bacon martinis
6 ounces premium vodka
4 ounces Applejack brandy
2 ounces amaretto liqueur
2 ounces maple syrup, preferably grade "B"
4 thin slices tart apple, such as Granny Smith
2 slices candied bacon, halved crosswise
Chill 4 martini glasses. In a large cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, brandy, amaretto and maple syrup with ice. Shake until combined and chilled. Strain the cocktail into the 4 chilled glasses and garnish each with an apple slice and half a slice of candied bacon. Serve immediately.
Candied bacon
8 slices smoked bacon
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, shiny side up. Dredge the bacon on both sides in the brown sugar and arrange the slices so they do not touch on the sheet. Bake until the bacon is richly caramelized, 15 to 25 minutes. Use a pair of tongs to transfer the bacon strips to a cooling rack and allow the excess fat to drain. Serve warm as candy or cool until hardened for the martinis.

Prop 8 - The Musical!
NPH is brilliant, as usual, but I think Jack Black as Jesus is the real breakout surprise entertainment here. Also, OMG, Margaret Cho! Andy Richter! Sara Chalke! Maya Rudolph! That chick who keeps saying "Obama-nation!" whose name I can't remember! They are all awesome and I love them. *loves* |

| Mini-sized BSG wank |
[Dec. 3rd, 2008|10:02 am] |
Once upon a time, there was a BSG fan named ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) starpollo who ran a Kara/Lee themed icon contest, karalee_ic. At some point she got burnt out on running the contest and announced that there would be no more rounds.
Then some time between then and now, starpollo decided to go and delete the comm, a fact which was discovered by anastashial. Alarmed by the loss of all those K/L icons, anastashial sent a message to starpollo urging her to undelete the comm.
However she also felt the need to announce this to the entire battlestar_blog community in a post that included a copypasta of her message to starpollo, a message I might add that smacks a little of fannish entitlement and self-importance.
This goes over about as well as you'd expect.
Small for the moment, but hopefully will grow.
Edit: Good grief, the OP also posted the same post, complete with copypasta, to the sasa_hq comm. Somebody's awfully determined.
Edit 2: And on beyond_insane as well. And that last link is likely to get especially wanky since starpollo herself has gotten involved. |

Thewlol, WE NEED TO TALK.
Presumably Lil' Joanie is now out of work, due to the unfortunate canning of "Pushing Daisies". This does not mean that YOU GET TO LOOK LIKE YOU'RE OUT OF WORK TOO >:(. The financial crisis is bad, yes. But while you seemingly have no standards for the projects you take on and are pretty much one step away from ATM porn anyway, you will never be short of work.
I hear they want to make Alone in the Dark 3. This sounds right up your alley. Get thee to a barber and prepare yourself mentally for making out with whoever it is that they hire when a casting director cannot afford Tara Reid. |

[Dec. 3rd, 2008|01:54 am] |
Last month, Dr. Pepper promised to give out free Dr. Pepper after Guns N Roses finally put out their Chinese Democracy Album. It was discussed in the lounge here.
Well, the band is not happy about it and have lawyered up looking for an apology. |

So there was that neat little Jupiter-Venus-Moon conjunction the other night. And I was inspired:
I saw that smiling little face and the first thing I thought of was the lyrics "Hey Moon" from Panic's Northern Downpour. :D |

Glitter, EVERYWHERE. 'tis a sign the holidays are here. Much though I am stunned because how on earth is it December already? But there we are.
Hopefully I will get my decorations up soon. My thought was to do it this weekend but I may turn out to be too busy. Granted it is busy with other holiday related things so it's not as though I'm some sort of holiday slacker. Also I have totally done all my Christmas shopping so I get to be smug now. *smug smug smug*
Granted, I am me, so of course I'm using my time to do things like try to replace old furniture in my living room. Because heaven forbid I do things in a simple and uncomplicated manner. |

Quick question, since I am having fail at finding what I'm looking for.
I seem to recall a post where it was mentioned that SMeyer had compared Edward to a number of earlier male characters, including Heathcliff and Gilbert Blythe. I can't seem to find either the post or the article it mentioned, and I need to share it with some folks elsenet.
Thanks. |

There was this one thing on secondlife (at least I'm pretty sure) where this guy pretended to be a female purple bunny(?) and got into an online relationship. There was a very fun fallout after they found out 'she' was a 'he' and I was trying to find this. Does anyone know where to find it? |
