| 4:00 pm | Also, ILU, jezebel.com. I love it when people find a way to voice my own opinions more forcefully and concisely than I could do on my own: The Accused: Perez Hilton The Crime: Denigrating a woman's looks for not being stereotypically "feminine" The Evidence: "Can't she get that fixed??? Rumer Willis, aspiring "actress", attended the 2008 Crystal Lucy Women in Film Awards in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Seriously, isn't there surgery where you can shave down your jaw??? We're sure some trannys have gotten it done to make themselves look more "feminine." Plastic surgery is not always a bad thing. Rumer should look into it! And, while she's there, she might wanna get her nose done too!" What did Rumer Willis ever do to Perez? She is a constant target for him — he takes every possible opportunity to criticize her for no reason. His continued denigration of alternative sexuality (last week: dissing Samantha Ronson, this week, implying Rumer Willis is a "tranny") make his gay-rights advocacy totally suspect. Apparently he only wants respect and rights for himself not for the actual community. The Punishment: A kick in the nards from Rumer's dad, Bruce. He looks like he does not suffer fools gladly. Because "fighting for gay rights" = calling Samantha Ronson "SaMANtha". Classy, Perez. |
| 11:14 am | there will be thewlol Mine is the second-worst* attempt at leaving fandom ever. But that doesn't matter because there are NEW!** pics of Thewlol and Nat Tena as Lupin and Tonks that make me &hearts because the costumes and hair are so delightfully retro in that sort of mish-mash of eras kinda way. He looks like he's caning for a steak and kidney pie covered in HP sauce and a nice cup of tea, and she looks like an actress from a porno knockoff of the first "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie. That's fucking hot, yo. The quality of pics aren't spectacular, but it's not keeping me awake at night because it's not like they've been advertised as high-res. And is it me or has Thewlol lost weight? Because he looked like he was going on an anzac biscuit binge for PoA and then he got lolskinny again for OotP. *not nnogfto. so gtfo. **well, new to any given value: I haven't kept up with anything last two weeks. |

| 10:08 am | Thewlol, are you listening? I think I've stumbled across the pre-production of Based on the comic, the story is a mystery set in 1950's London in which Captain Francis Blake and science professor Philip Mortimer look to identify a shadowy criminal known as The Yellow Mark. The list of sought after thesps apparently includes Kenneth Branagh as Blake, David Thewlis as Mortimer and John Malkovich as Colonel Orlik. But the premise of Thewlol and Kenneth Branagh teaming up in the 1950s to catch a shadowy John Malkovich looks so good on a computer screen. THEWLOL YOU BETTER TAKE THIS JOB AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CHILDREN OF JOHN FRANKENHEIMER DON'T CURSE YOU INTO MAKING MOAR CRAP >:( |

| 5:54 pm | true fucking fax 1. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS =/= JARGON AND BAD ENGLISH. 2. If I hear you complaining about political correctness, I just assume that i) you've been raised by bears, ii) you're pathologically incapable of being polite and courteous, and iii) you're just annoyed that you can't scream the N word at the top of your lungs without criticism. 3. That was our term for making fun of ourselves. GTFO n00bs. 4. I do think less of people who complain about "political correctness". I do think I'm better than you if I hear you use that term without irony. Of course, I don't mean when people shriek "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD" for lols, in which case I think you're a bit of all right. 5. No, the boys aren't going to respect you any more if you slag off your own gender. Serena Joy didn't get let outside for selling her own kind out, bitches. 5a. I hereby propose the Serena Joy Internets Law, by which females who say misogynistic shit to get brownie points with the dudes automatically fail at life and need their internet taken off them. End communication. *** The lj-deletion was a long-standing consideration of about... six months now. It's just convenient that people I once respected shat me off enough. And JF is hotter anyway. pps. ILU shaggy &hearts |

| 11:02 pm | 1. Every time I see Miley Cyrus as blonde Hannah Montana, she reminds me so much of Portia Di Rossi that I find myself superimposing a red singlet with the word "SLUT" on it, just to set my world at ease again. Because HELLO, Mandy and that shirt were made for each other, quite specifically. 2. Speaking of all things slutty and red, I have painted my nails a fierce red that somehow manages to put colour into my pallor - courtesy of it being a blue-red, I guess. I'm a fan. 3. The cons of my weekend job are that my other co-workers (all male) are slightly sexist. The pros are that I'm at least three inches and ten pounds bigger* than all of them (not to mention louder and meaner), it's set inside a gourmet fresh produce place that serves fresh 100% organic raspberry juice (om nom nom x10000000) in addition to all the fresh fruit I can possibly gorge myself on, and - my restaurant being a gourmet french patisserie - I am expected to try everything in the cabinets so I can describe it to diners, including the ability to take home. OMG. Loving it. And when I've finished my training, I can go work at their sister restaurant, which is two streets away from home. YES. 4. New medication is making me fall asleep at the oddest of times - I'll just snap asleep in the blink of an eye while looking for my keys, or turning off the ignition to my car. Not even settling into sleep - I just drop into it. I should get that looked into, that can't be good. Et vous? Someone said there was race wank (that I wasn't picking, of all things), but there's always race wank somewhere out there. *and I'm not even that big, objectively. Does hospitality attract the short gents? |

| 7:09 pm | 1. This is a phenomenon I explained to ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} lizbee ages ago, but basically there must be something about me that's a bigot magnet. WHYYYYYYYYYY. I think it's because I look like the most caucasian person in the universe, and when you combine pastiness + slight overweightness + a childish face + modest and sensible clothing, you just give off an air of come share with me your prejudices, your peccadilloes, your most horrible and asinine innermost thoughts. People should know better than to tell me anything: I will judge you more harshly than the bitchiest bitchface. I might look like a twelve year old mormon, but I'm really a horrible, horrible person.2. On the topic of appearance, I just got my first haircut in seven months, and it looks BANGING. 3. My boyfriend lost the cat again. Again, WHYYYYYYYYYYY. FFS. She doesn't have a collar on, it's now night-time, and there are plenty of big scary cats in the neighbourhood. That said, it is nearly dinner-time, she knows where home is, and she's got that feral scrapper-mentality about her. I'm sure she'll be back soon. |

| 7:39 pm | help a ho out! 1. Does anyone have any running advice for me? I really want to take it up (I have a 1/4 marathon as my fitness goal for this year) but I find running really hard in light of severe genu valgum* and low-grade lymphoedema* that nevertheless makes running extremely painful. (My feet and ankles can swell by more than 2 inches after a two hour walk, making even walking extremely painful and blistery and oh the agony :( :( :( ) So if any of you have lower limb problems, or even if you don't but you just love running, would you have any recommendations for me, aside from compression bandages? (Note to self: must buy. I am such an old lady. :() 2. My hair: I'm thinking like a purply burgundy red, as opposed to the dark brown with bits of grey* poking through now. Would it work on a complexion that can only be described as "corpsely"* and green eyes? Maybe a fringe as well? *man, I really inherited the ass genes in my family :( |

| 1:18 am | My boyfriend lost the cat outside tonight. Our indoor cat, who wasn't wearing her collar because I was out getting her a new collar that she could actually fit into, and who now has no visible identification. I've listed her at the RSPCA, sent facebook messages to my neighbours + a midnight doorknock to any neighbour that was actually awake and active, and I've kept the door open so she can come back in. I love my boyfriend, I really do, but right about now, I want to drown him in a bucket. ETA: seven hours after her last sighting, I hear a pitiful sound - I say sound, because she actually cannot make normal cat sounds* - coming from the roof of our termite-infested carport, and there she was, crying because she didn't know how to get down. What a fuckwit. She's inside and Mr Gun is crying and cuddling her. IT'S 4AM >:( Cuddle me, I was the one who found the wee fucker :( *amongst other things, yes, my cat has parts of her throat missing, much to the amazement of my vet. |

| 9:57 am | PIE TIME! Once again, to give back to people something I have stolen from so many. This is possibly the most rewarding recipe I can give you - it literally takes three minutes to put together. CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE 1 sheet short-crust pastry 2/3 cup corn syrup/glucose syrup (I used glucose, and it seemed to work fine) 200g pecans, chopped in half 180g dark cooking chocolate, chopped up or in buds - you get what you pay for, so buy quality 3 eggs 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla essence 1 tablespoon cooking cocoa 1. Let the short-crust pastry thaw on the counter-top, according to manufacturer's instructions. Preheat oven to 180 celcius. 2. When crust has thawed, line a pie-dish with it, crimping the edges if you like. Put the bits of chocolate and nut into the dish. 3. Whisk together the syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla essence and cocoa together for about 3 minutes, then pour over the chocolate and nuts. Put in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. If you make it, let me know how it goes. I'm trying it out on my n00bs today so hopefully they'll like it. |

| 5:33 pm | So what happened with the meme? Also, while I'm sneaking a fandom-half hour in, does anyone have that Regina Spektor cover of Real Love? Because a) I love it, even though I'm not into Regina Spektor, and b), I'd like to use it in a uni performance. |

| 7:36 am | So did anyone read msscribe's apology and have it remind you of the most asinine Vicky Pollard sketch? Fandom: Now, Msscribe: OMG STOP LOOKIN AT ME EVOLS >:( Fandom: Did you, or did you not create sockpuppets to harrass the HP fandom? Msscribe: Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, because I couldn't of done it because Cassie Claire was tryin' to rob Heidi of her big gold hoop earrings from Asda and I was all like OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT and anyway you'll have to ask them cos I was out the back with my hand down Holly Black's tracky-bottoms. Fandom... Msscribe: OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD ACCUSE ME OF SOCKPUPPETTING! I'VE ONLY DONE IT LIKE ONE EVER TIME, LIKE, TWO EVER TIMES, god this is like being back in Borstal. This is rubbish. Fandom... This is probably the point were David Walliams' character just says "well, fuck this" and leaves her to her own stupid devices. I presume. |

| 8:11 pm | Just for the record: if anyone wants to know what societal minority group I would like ethnically cleansed, you could probably start with ONTD posters. I can't think of a case where eugenics would be more appropriate. |

| 7:37 pm | Chicken Casserole a la Gun I should probably tag all my recipe entries. Serves 4 if you eat like normal people, 1-2 if you eat like pigs/Mr Gun. 8 chicken drumsticks, stripped of skin and fat 425g can of chopped tomatoes. (If you can, get organic or roma. Mmmmmmmmmm.) 1/2 cup white wine 2 tablespoons tomato paste pinch of sugar 12 kalamata olives, halved 150g shallots, halved 4 cloves of garlic 1 handful of chopped fresh oregano 1 handful of chopped fresh basil 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar couple of capers little bit of lemon zest 4 strips of proscuitto 1/2 cup chopped parsley olive oil 1. Preheat oven to 180 celcius, or whatever that is in fahrenheit. 2. Get a fuck-off big frypan, pour a bit of oil into it, and then cook the drumsticks for 3-4 minutes on each side. Once cooked, put it in a dutch oven or a casserole pot. 3. Using the same oil, cook your garlic cloves and shallots for about five minutes. They should be soft, but not browned. Add in the white wine (you can add extra if you like - I did and it seems to work fine), and bring to the boil. 4. Add the tomato, tomato paste, herbs, salt and cracked pepper, sugar, vinegar and olives. Bring to the boil for a couple of minutes, then pour over the chicken. 5. Put the covered pot in the oven for about 45 minutes. Smell it while it cooks. asldkjalskdjlskadjlaskdj it's like a big fat cumshot of flavour, srs bsns. 6. In the last five minutes it's in the oven, get your pan and fry up the proscuitto for about three minutes - or until crispy. Break them up and wait for the chicken to finish. 7. Take the chicken out. It should be soft and tender. Take your parsley, zest and capers, and sprinkle over the mix. Then top with the proscuitto. You can serve it with rice or pasta if you'd like. I made polenta, but instead of frying it in wedges like I normally do, I just took it fluffy off the stove and poured it over that to soak up the juices. |

| 9:10 am | It's that most magical time of the year: Slag on your OTP Day. Come one, come all, and tell me what you think blows chunks about your favourite HP pairing. No rules, post whatever you'd like. It did so well last time that I thought it would be fun to run again to spread some good will about fandom. |

| 5:42 pm | Note to self: don't bother respecting anything suzycat might say. |

| 3:23 pm | This is all I'm going to say on the matter. I know some people thought I was lying about not knowing, or that I actually condoned what was said, but I can't give better than my (admittedly untrustworthy) word. And I never thought I'd actually say this, but hell - the Gun!haters are far less annoying than the Gunpatrol. Cut it the fuck out, whoever is doing it. |

| 9:26 am | So, anyway, I've publicly issued an invitation to a dinner-date to Caina upon how hearing how badly she wants to get into my knickers. Countdown to ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif){kind=small} i_wank or clairvoyantwank in three... |

| 6:09 pm | Lord, Give me strength not to delete my LJ in a hissy-fit of moderate-liberal fury; give me the fortitude not to spam my own LJ with pics from rotten.com; give me the mettle to live through this in a house without alcohol. |
