So sick of this Potato Doom thing.
If someone only knows who you are because you've posted about her on Fandom Wank, and suddenly she's doing things like emailing you to alert you to her twitter post about the comment she made on your YouTube video, and then you post yet another wank about her that talks about how she's been doing things like email you to alert you to her twitter post about the comment she made on your YouTube video, aren't you pretty much giving her exactly what she wants at that point?
Also, how many times do you have to mention yourself in a post before the entire subject can finally go to i_wank to die?

I've been meaning to rec this for a while now.
What Ho, You Dalek Chaps! The Doctor regenerates into Bertie Wooster, with Jeeves as his faithful companion. Sort of. It is genius. GO READ IT NOW! I will wait. *waits*

OH, MR DARCY!
My daughter and I went to the bookstore yesterday, and aside from discovering that my daughter has apparently very recently developed a desperate love for the works of PC Cast (I've heard bad things), all went well, and it was terribly productive. I picked up a copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Yay!
But later, at home, upon hitting Chapter 5 (on page 17; very small chapters, these), I realized that, though it's clearly brilliant, I couldn't properly appreciate its brilliance, because I'd never actually read Pride and Prejudice, alas. I'd seen bits of adaptations of it here and there, but Regency romance is not generally my thing, and I'd also read bits and pieces of Austen here and there but I'd never really been able to get into it at all. Also, I tried to read Jane Eyre once as a teenager, or maybe it was Wuthering Heights, I don't remember, I just remember that it made me want to gouge out my own eyes within half a chapter, and it put me off even the idea of the big name historical romance-type writers for decades afterwards. Bleh.
Even so, though, I decided I could not fully enjoy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies without at least skimming Pride and Prejudice first, so I found a copy online and started reading. Just for comparison purposes, that kind of thing, you know. Yes. And so I've been up all night and I haven't slept at all and I read the whole thing in one sitting and I still haven't even started Chapter 5 on the zombie thingie yet, but OH MR DARCY! OH MR DARCY!
And yes, I will grant you that there were bits of it where just I wanted to scream "GOOD LORD GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!" at the damn thing, but I found I couldn't turn away, and I quite adored the book version of Elizabeth, and I loved all the sarcasm, and the big over-the-top to-do over the youngest sister's virtue was amazing, and even the propensity to tell-not-show was endearing in an adorably Regency sort of way, and also OH MR DARCY OMG!
This all so odd. And slightly embarrassing. I swear I'm not usually like this about his type of character, honestly, and I could see half the character revelations coming a mile away, but none the less... OH MR DARCY! *swoons*
I can only imagine how much better he will be with the addition of the undead. *SWOONS*

I'm not entirely sure *how* I forgot, but there you go.
Ack! I forgot he was banned and started talking about his mom. I'm sorry, Sep Snacky*! :(

I was going to put a quote here about sandwiches, but it was too much of a spoiler.

And now I need icons. Hmmmmmm...

Finally at my computer to fix that broken image in yesterday's picspam.
Really, Photobucket? Really? You TOS'd that? Seriously? I mean, I could understand the one I uploaded for Monday, I was kind of expecting that, but this? Oh, come on. >.<

This would start so much unfunny at FW that it's not even... er... funny.
I used to watch Red Dwarf whenever I could get it, and I loved it, but then Craig Charles got arrested for rape and got acquitted because there wasn't a police doctor available to examine the victim until 30 hours after it happened and also the defense lawyer talked a lot of shit about her on the stand because she'd previously been an exotic dancer, and all the fanboys insisted that his acquittal meant that the victim was obviously a lying slag (SHE USED TO BE A STRIPPER OMG!) and he was innocent, innocent, oh so innocent (HE'S SO FUNNY! I LOVE HIS SHOW! HE WOULD NEVER! AND EVEN IF HE DID SHE PROBABLY WANTED IT! SHE USED TO BE A STRIPPER OMG!) and all the newspaper stories were all about how he was innocent, innocent, oh god so innocent (STRIPPER! WHORE! FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE NEVER WRONG!) and ever since then I have never been able to watch Red Dwarf again, no matter how funny it is, because he got off on a technicality and immediately started whining about how it's such a big problem that men are so often falsely accused of rape and the last thing the victim ever said on the matter was something about how she wished she'd never reported it, and also every time I've ever heard anyone talk about the matter at any geek-type convention ever I have ended up wanting to castrate the sexist little fuckweed with an exacto knife.
I know it's probably wrong of me to flinch at the very sight of Craig Charles when technically he was supposedly proven not guilty, except he wasn't actually proven not guilty, he was only proven to be a beneficiary of the same fucked-up system that prevents all those other rape cases from ever being proven, too. It's entirely possible that he's innocent, and I'm sure lots of people will comment here to give me all sorts of information about how innocent he is, but I still can't watch Red Dwarf, because I hate his face.
Which is a shame, because I really liked Red Dwarf, back in the day.

Actually, now that I'm doing it, it's much more satisfying than I thought it would be.

Looking for distractions
On a scale from SJA to Torchwood, how much will watching the new BSG make me want to kick the writers in the nads? I've heard that there's a rape scene, or at least a rape-related plotline. I don't do well with those.
(That last sentence might have been a MASSIVE MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT. Perhaps.)
I still haven't gotten around to watching the Doctor Who Christmas thingie. Was it any good? Maybe I'll just play Sims 2 and eat a lot of something-or-other that's really really bad for me, instead, that's always good.

POLLING!
OMG! THEY'RE NECK AND NECK! HOT BALD PEOPLE OR BRITISH COMICS? WHO WILL IT BE? SO EXCITING!
Also, unrelatedly, I've been reading this book with mummies and magic and ancient Egyptian gods etc. etc. and there was a line in it today that gave me pause. "Sep was the name of the god of chaos." OMG! THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH! And only a few days away from April 1, too! AT LAST ALL IS REVEALED!
I was going to spend tonight and tomorrow gathering pictures, but I don't know what I'm gathering. I've spent most of the month convinced that British Comics had an insurmountable lead, but I think I might be secretly rooting for Hot Bald People. Either way, I don't have enough pictures yet. I've considered combining them into Hot Bald British Comics if they tie, but I think that might limit my choice of subjects just a little too much, and also I'm running out of pictures of Simon Pegg.
ETA: AND NOW BRITISH COMICS HAVE PULLED AHEAD AGAIN BY ONE VOTE! CAN HOT BALD PEOPLE PULL OFF AN UPSET VICTORY? *bites nails*
ETA2: AND NOW HOT BALD PEOPLE ARE ONE VOTE AHEAD! *flails*
ETA3: TIED AGAIN! They were at 29-29 when I first posted, then 29-30, then 31-30, and now they're at 31-31. DAMMIT, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT PICS TO LOOK FOR! ;_;

Yet another post about how much I <3 Wonkette.
It is just absolutely fucking absurd that there are Tent Cities in America when there are, literally, tens of thousands of vacant, move-in ready tract homes sitting vacant, and cities are paying millions to patrol these places, board up the windows, keep the Jawas from stealing the plumbing copper, etc. Open those goddamned houses and put these families in these vacant houses, now. Good god, do you people need angry BLOGGERS to tell you this?
I love it when Wonkette does angry liveblogging. It makes me feel all warm inside.

I thought about calling this post "Random Shoes" except I hated that episode, bleh.
It's possible that I'm a little over-enthusiastic in enforcing the "no negative comments" rule on ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) hot_daily sometimes, but I've decided I'd rather err on the side of screening than leave them visible, just because any sort of little negative comment can be such a buzzkill sometimes, especially when the general atmosphere of the comm is almost overwhelmingly happy like it is over there. That being said, though, I have in the past left comments like "smoking, ew" in place on pics of people with cigarettes, because, let's face it, that's not really all that controversial a statement, there, although I did reply to that one with an "I know, but" kind of thing, just because there's bound to be someone in our membership who has a hot-people-with-cigarettes kink. It's not that uncommon. I'm fairly certain someone may have mentioned it before, actually. And there's at least one person with a people-who-make-political-statements kind of kink, too, and countless people who think Daniel Craig is hot (THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS FACE. D:) so I continue to post a wide variety of pictures in an effort to make as many members as possible very very happy at least once, more if possible. It's my goal.
This is the awesomest cake ever made. I want one.
InsaneJournal says that my accounts are inactive and scheduled to be deleted. Has it really been that long since I've even logged in over there? I can't decide if I want to save them or not, although I probably will, just because. I like having them available, I don't know why.
I just got a note from Netflix that my second DVD will be a little late, which is odd, because my account only allows for one DVD at a time. I logged in over there to see what was up, and my queue has this little link near the top that says "Why do you have an extra DVD?" so I clicked on it to find out and got a little popup window with their answer: "We have sent you an extra DVD rental from your Queue." So apparently the reason that I have an extra DVD is because they have sent me an extra DVD, which makes sense, except that I can't help but feel that this explanation is ever-so-slightly inadequate, as explanations go. Hmm.
I took this quiz and scored a 335/400. I think that might mean I'm a socialist. But not a communist! There's a difference! Also, I kind of want to go find Marx/Engels slashfic now. Ow, my brain. :(
My cat just puked on the rug. :(
And, of course, last but never least, my co-workers and I spent the day enjoying the musical stylings of Richard Cheese. Or, as we like to refer to him, Dick Cheese. We're quite fond of his version of "Down with the Sickness" as well as his "Personal Jesus" (He does the breathing thing! Glee!) although I think I like Jonathan Coulton's version of "Baby Got Back" better. I haven't listened to the Dick Cheese version of "99 Luftballons" yet. I wonder if he does it in the German? Because that would be too awesome for words. Oh, and his version of "Milkshake" made me laugh so hard I cried, it's fantastic. ♥ ♥ ♥
One of my co-workers was extremely impressed that I recognized that version of "Personal Jesus" before the lyrics started, but really, it was pretty obvious. That song is genius, honestly. I think I'm in love.
ETA: Oh, yeah, and I won one of those Children of Time Awards thingies. I still don't think it's crackfic, but whatever. Go me!

It is a very important day today!
That's right! It is a very important day today! IT IS INTERNATIONAL PUPPY AND KITTY AND CUTE THINGS POSTING DAY! Hooray!
( WARNING: EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF CUTE! )
OMG SO CUTE! And, of course, if it were also someone's birthday, perhaps maybe someone who isn't necessarily all that into large public declarations of birthday affection on their birthday, possibly, then I'm sure that's just a MASSIVE COINCIDENCE and not at all related to this preponderance of cute, NOT AT ALL OMG.
( These pictures are not at all birthday-related, I swear. )
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ADORABILITY DAY, EVERYBODY! <3 <3 <3

I meant to mention this when I first got the notifications, but I got distracted.
So the Children of Time Awards are in Round 2, and I got nominated four categories, which is kind of awesome. I keep meaning to link it, but I keep forgetting, but then I realized today that voting ends, like, Thursday or something, so I should probably do that now if I'm going to, right? Right.
( I wasn't actually going to cut this, but then I started babbling. (I knew I was in trouble when I started using parentheses, those are never a good sign.) )
Also, dude, I just now noticed that Ann's Hot Fuzz crossover got nominated! Sweet! I didn't even know that was on the Teaspoon. Unless I did and I forgot, which is entirely possible. And not that the Teaspoon is actually required, lots of their linked fics don't go there, but they do seem to be quite focused on it, and that's where Ann's link goes. I may have to actually vote in this thing now! Awesome!
There was someone else on my flist who was nominated, and now I can't remember. I am not having a good brain day month year whatever. :(

Obviously I was sleep-deleting. Hey, what can I say, it happens.
Wait. I've been deleting tags? Can I even do that?
