OMG YOU GUYS, HOW AMAZINGLY HOT WERE THE LADIES OF GLEE SINGING "EXPRESS YOURSELF"?

also, is it possible for Shue to be more of a dick? Or Finn?

eta: I also feel like one of the few people who doesn't hate Jesse St James. He may be a dick, but at least he's not a passive aggressive dick like Finn and Shue.

and and and SANTANA ILU.

HEY, NEW GIRL WHO JUST MOVED IN TO THE CONDO UPSTAIRS:

PICK UP YOUR DOGS' CRAP.

1) Have signed up for the fitness challenge at work. 2 months with the end result of hopefully not sausage like arms.

2) 11 more quests for loremaster Kalimdor. 5 more dungeons for classic dungeonmaster. Starpony achieved.

3) I get to order my kitschy pseudo-flowers!

4) Nerdy or nerdiest: possibly getting a cake topper from ren faire of DRAGONS.

5) we had a conversation at work today that consisted of debating the merits of disney songs. To sum up: Menken/Ashman = best, Phil Collins = should be stricken from the canon.

i really like the Glee cast version of "Mercy" more than I actually like the original. /o\ Also, I keep picturing in my head a sherlock holmes (guy ritchie edition) vid to ramalama (bang bang). i love that song really a lot.

CAPTAIN EFFING AMERICA.

The idea of Chris Evans* AND Joss Whedon** having a hand in Captain America makes me very very sad.

*YOU DON'T GET TO PLAY TWO SUPERHEROES IN THE SAME UNIVERSE. THAT'S JUST UNFAIR TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO BE A GODDAMN SUPERHERO.

**WHY WOULD YOU LET JOSS WHEDON DIRECT THE AVENGERS?

(yes, I know it's an ad. but it is delightful nonetheless.)

the least interesting parts of this show are the ones that involve shue and finn. I like to call those parts the "going to the restroom OR kitchen OR making cookies parts."

Also, when I was in marching band, if someone acted the way Finn did and clearly couldn't commit to sparkle motion the activity, his ass would have been kicked out. So it keeps irking me that he doesn't get kicked out when everyone else -- including Puck, Brittany, Santana, Matt, and Mike -- made the commitment. And the guys made that commitment with the understanding (however temporary) that they would be off the football team if they did. ANYWAY.

How awesome is Rachel, you guys? And Santana&Brittany. And Jane Lynch.

ETA: SHUE, YOU ARE A DICK. DIAF.

I would (still) rather watch a show that tries and fails at diversity than a show that doesn't even bother.

in other news, the music from ATLA makes me happy. Here, have some: http://www.myspace.com/thetrackteammusicandsound

...are there ANY persian people in that movie?

like. at all?

>:(

1) In order for someone to realize that something is a badger mole or a komodo rhino or turtle duck or lion turtle, don't the individual components need to exist?

( spoilery )

5) What is the ratio of benders to non-benders? And, somewhat relatedly, how does the Fire Nation -- which isn't large -- have so damn many of them?

6) If Aang is the last Air Nomad and the last Airbender, what's going to happen when the Avatar cycle comes back around to them?

7) How amazing are Katara and Sokka? Discuss.

8) How Lost Generation-y is the ATLA world? I haven't really noticed a lot of adults in the show. The kids, yes, and older people, but outside of the military and various guards and a few exceptions, I can't actually recall seeing a lot of adults.

i think i have almost talked the boything into getting an ipad (mostly I think this because I let him buy a computer and he's stopped protesting every time I make the obvious, 'THIS WOULD BE AWESOME ON AN IPAD :D? :D?" statement)

we just got Sherlock Holmes on bluray, and it came with a dvd copy and a digital copy in addition to the real version.

baen publishing.

I keep thinking of the bluray disc thing and the movies I have on it, which almost all came with a digital copy of the movie. And I keep wanting books to do the same thing. I buy a LOT of books. I want an e-reader because I'd like to be able to take one device with me instead of four books at any given time. I want to own my books instead of licensing them. And while I understand there's an infrastructure argument to be made and I'm all for publishers making money and authors making money and everyone making money off the deal, I would really really like to be able to go to a store, buy a book, and then be able to download a legit electronic copy of that book for use on an e-reader. and I have to admit to being a little sad that this doesn't already happen (Baen does it with some of their hardcovers and I think it's AWESOME).

so, you know. just putting it out there for the universe.

also, stephen fry is adorable in his enthusiasm.

ETA: also, how long before someone puts out a cover for the thing that says DON'T PANIC?
