Once again holding out for the late-night showing so that I can watch this pervy periodical in peace. Yep, family BBQ by day, liveblogging HBO mini-series by night! In the meantime, they're showing The Women , the 1939 one, not the crummy one. One thing that I like about this movie is that they show Crystal as the shameless homewrecker and Miriam as reasonably decent even though they're both technically...

First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson . I don't really have any personal connection with Ed or Farrah, but I do have a few childhood Michael Jackson memories. The earliest one being when we went to Disneyland when I was little (probably around 1987-ish) and I saw Captain EO . It was the coolest thing I had ever seen, and I remember it pretty vividly. The dancing, the singing...

I just realized how stupidly huge that post was, so I'm breaking it up. Voila! I feel like posting something random and fannish, but I dunno what. I haven't really gotten into anything new and fannish. I'm excited about the USA (USA! USA! USA! USA!) getting to the finals of the Confederations Cup, though I couldn't bloody watch because of the bloody cable being switched to digital-- the story is so...

I feel like I'd be remiss if I didn't make some sort of comment on Michael Jackson, largely because...well. I don't know why. Maybe because empathy for the celebrity gossip magazines is taking over my brain and some little editor who lives up there noted that Farrah Fawcett died and I barely gave it more than a half a thought and then Michael Jackson died and he said (in his wee little voice), " STOP...

23 hours and 50 minutes until the flight to Tokyo. I have some last minute running around to do-- drop off dogs at The Small Condo, pick up my sister's camera, pick up my travel buddy, OH YEAH GET HIRING PAPERS TO THE HEALTH AUTHORITY-- and then I'm sleeping early. Clark and Bruce are coming with me. The trip will be narrated by them in the manner of Cleolinda's Secret Life of Dolls and RandomGuy/Gal/Cat's...

VICTOLY! I removed American from Word's editing languages so it should never revert to that ever again! Numfar, commence the dance of joy! Yesterday was a spectacular failure in sleep that I'm paying for today -- I have spent most of my night groggy and wanting to crawl back into bed but I've had a cup of Facepuncher and now I'm all @___@ AWAKE but my head's warning of impending headache. As much...

You can watch the teaser trailer for The Last Airbender here . This thread makes me want to hit people like that in the face with my United States Racial and Cultural Minorities textbook. HARD.

On a related note, cleolinda brings us the news that yes, it took Mattel to go there with the literal sparkling . Between this and Pipecleaner Uhura , they're doing a great job of NOT...

I was thinking about Harry Potter today (it's been on my mind since Cleolinda  posted news about the upcoming Universal Studios attraction  in her Linkspam) and I realized: People are always giving SMeyer crap for having a blatant stand-in for herself who is in love with her own fictional creation, BUT ... Ginny Weasley, who is admittedly quite similar to Jo Rowling, goes out with and marries Rowling's...
