Oh my god, George Takei does one of commentary tracks for Heroes season one. The commentaries are really shitty, except that's awesome.

MASI OKA STOP TALKING OVER HIM! You're awesome, but he outranks you in every way!

Too small for any wank comm, but I laughed:

"You're elitist for thinking people would have Showtime!"

"I can't be elitist, I watch basic cable!"

"Assuming people could watch the show on time shows that you hate the poor! That's immoral but it's totally okay to download shows and steal wireless to do so!"

And if you can't tell, Sparky is shaved to look like a lion. But people at the vet sometimes think he's a special breed that looks like that and offer big $$$ for him. I don't know if they still want to after they find out he's just shaved, but who wouldn't, he's so cute!

Raider 1: Guys, I don't usually say this about girls named "Sara" but she is fugly.
Raider 2: Hey, beauty is just on the outside, it's the inside that counts.
Raider 1: But the inside is Yogg Saron!
Raider 3: I don't know, Yogg Saron is an Old God and power makes me horny.

So, last night we spend four hours wiping to Yogg Saron. And like all intense video game sessions, I kept forgetting to blink. By the end of the night we had phase one down almost flawlessly, and we were making serious progress on phase two. I think our best attempt had him around 75%. We're a few weeks from downing him, so now our focus will be speed killing the rest of Ulduar. 11 bosses in two days so we'll have Thursday to focus on him.

Seriously fun fight, though. After phase one, which is a serious yaaaaaawn for healers.

We still need another tank, though. One of ours kept triggering clouds, and we couldn't get passed p1 till we made one of our DPS respec and take his place.

The turkeys have been refusing to stay visible for any length of time after I've seen them, so I had to take their picture through the window. This is the third time I've seen them, though. So cute!

ZOMG you guys. There was a goldfinch in my house, trying to fly through a window. BAD SPARKY! Lucky, mom was here to set it free, and it flew off just fine. I wish I'd gotten a picture, it was really cool.

ETA: Also, since Tom has no intention of ever moving back home, I'm getting his nice, expensive, soft mattress for my apartment at school. Yay no more futon!

ETA2: THE WILD TURKEY FAMILY WAS BACK! Zomg.

I CHOOSE YOU, STEELBREAKER!

Last night was in parts suck and awesome. I had to take myself out for a bit because I just couldn't concentrate on Iron Council. Apparently my replacement wasn't doing any better, so I got a snack and went back in. After two wipes our raid leader was ready to go do an easy boss and be done for the night. But I was feeling much better, so I asked for one more and down they went! We got a recording of the "Event" afterward.

Tonight we'll probably go back to regular modes, we're down to the hard bosses (Freya, Mimiron, General Vezax) and we lost our bloodlust. Any shamans looking for a good home? D:

I barely blinked an eye at these quotes until I looked at the year published. Holy shit, fuck you medical community.

Kologarn: I CAN CRUSH AN ARMORED TAUREN IN MY POWERFUL STONE GRIP.

Yogg-Saron: Yeah, but the tauren can't get over the ravine anyway. And it will be extra funny, because they could totally get over the ravine if they could use their flying mounts, but flying mounts are disabled in Ulduar. That will make them crazy. See, that's what I do.

Also, my guild had me all freaked out that I'd gotten hacked or had a bad addon cuz they got mail from my main that linked to a keylogger. Then I had them check and see if one of the letters was special, and the character that sent it had already been deleted. GG, guys.

Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared.

Reasons why women shouldn't be in politics:
*They get hormonal
*They are too wussy for defense
*They will gut a seal and eat it's heart

World of Goo is $5 on Steam this week. If you have $5, buy it! It's totally worth the $20 price tag, $5 is practically theft. But it's legal, so do it!

Having a lovely birthday, trying to decide what/if alcohol to buy.

OH SHIT. My desire to constantly snack is, apparently, genetic. This means I'll either have to fight it constantly, or give in and spend a lot of money on food that doesn't really do anything for me. And gain weight, but honestly, I care more about my wallet these days.

If you have a spare hour ever, I suggest you watch BBC: Horizon - Why Are Thin People Not Fat?. I had a little review written up, but I got to the end and all I can say:

One guy stopped exercising and doubled his caloric intake and put on muscle.

There are some other interesting reactions to removing exercise and eating more, but seriously, he put on muscle, oh my god.

PS. I found this from boredly surfing around a pro-anorexia community. I was looking for a good fat acceptance one, but couldn't find one so checked out that instead. They were pretty upset that their bodies would forever want to be fat--which I can't really blame them for. *points up, sighs*

My thoughts on LOST so I can stop sharing them in the wank:

The show was awesome when it was a sprinkling of scifi to fuel character interactions. LOST had some really awesome characters, and even the ones they've got left over are pretty cool. Or they would be, but they're more concerned with making us watch them jump through time with not even a hint as to what's going on. But okay, we'll go YMMV and say that hey, some people were more into the scifi thing than the characters.

The scifi stuff is still badly written. It doesn't help that they start a thing, then drop it without any explanation. The smoke monster? Kate's horse? The whispers? The polar bear? Jack's dad? The island's healing abilities? The numbers? The four toed statue? These are pressing questions that I ~~used to~~ want answers to, and the reason why I spent so much time reading theories on the LOSTpedia (and why I just spent 20 minutes surfing around there when I went to make sure I didn't have a memory fail). But instead now we're watching time travel and it's not even the kind of time travel that we saw previously like in the Constant (which was really interesting and clever). Seriously, of 108 mysteries (of varying degrees of scifi-ness), 28 are solved, and the rest are barely being touched on in the current season.

I mean, look, I get that there's no reason to BAW about the scifi, but really, it's just badly written. They seem to have no idea where they're going, or where they came from. We've got our LOSTies running around the jungle, through time, but no whispers? No more mysterious animals yelling people's names? No fucking smoke monster, who showed up (kind of) in the first season and hasn't been explained at all?

. . .This rant just made me really bitter than LOST isn't better. They've got so much good stuff to work with. I'mma go emo somewhere about it and not read that wank anymore.

Oh, also: Kate is obnoxious and I'm really sad that Ana Lucia, Libby, Shannon, and all those other women died (or lost almost all their screen time) but she gets to live.

Fair FW going people: Sorry for getting wanky in the funny. :(

I'm all caught up with Battlestar Galactica, and back to watching it live. HOMG I love this show. Also, old!Starbuck couldn't fit one of "Stardoe"'s giant balls in his sexist mouth so Dirk Benedict can just shut up. (Seriously, what the fuck? Has he never seen the new series, or is he really that insecure in his masculinity?)
