mimesereyou are ON NOTICE. Go eff yourself.
tomorrow is friday, pay day, and Giant Orc Mounted on a Wolf Statue Woo Hoo Gift Day. I got my Butch Walker Leavin' The Game on Luckie St dvd today and somehow today *still* blows. fuck this noise.
In less aggravating news:
Hey, people who read the telepathic wolves with bonus gay and gangbangin' action -- A Companion to Wolves or some such -- how likely is it to make me want to punch people in the face? 'Cause man, I'm willing to go to the ridiculous telepathic wolves with bonus gay and gangbangin' action place, but Sarah Monette's writing style um. Well. It makes me want to punch all the characters in the face. At least it does in those other books she writes. If it's the same, then I'm giving the wolf thing a pass, despite having many of my favorite things in the basic description. This is ditto Elizabeth Bear. Wait, you know what? Never mind. I will wait till it comes out in paperback as I can stand spending $8 for a book by two authors I normally don't like for telepathic gay wolf shenanigans.
I am currently reading Justina Robson's Quantum Gravity books (Keeping It Real) which have have wacky physics, alternate dimensions, magic, rock and roll, cyborgs, and elves. Entertaining elves. Ooh, also, essentially, a demonic Britney Spears. I am fully in favor. I am probably going to pick up the next book tomorrow.
Cyborg spies, drunk fairies, rock and roll, quantum physics used for cracktastical purposes, and ass-kicking. AWESOME.
Apparently, my secret kink is ridiculous magical spy hijinks. WHO KNEW? Someone should totally get on a ridiculous magical spy hijinks bandom AU. Or, you know, I could go for ridiculous magical spy hijinks in the faux-historical Caribbean.
Also, Rosemary Kirstein needs to come out with a new book soon.
Anyway. I have a dvd to watch and a book to read and tomorrow is Orc Mounted On a Wolf Statue Woohoo Gift Day and that is all awesome. And next week is our department outing to Dave and Busters to play trivia games and pool and eat and get ninety billion tickets. I'm trying to ignore the part where it is also Be At Work By 8 AM Day.
And then soon, I shall have a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thelionforreal and a ladysorka and a missmollyetc and happy happy concert woo! Also, the FOB *and* Muse dvds drop that week. Ooh, ooh, also, I saw this post from muselive.com come across my flist and I laughed at the idea of Jon Walker fanboying Matt Bellamy some more.
why hello there, mood swings, how are you today? Also, the failblog makes me giggle every time.
And this: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4488/noonealivech0.jpg makes me laugh and laugh and laugh every time I look at it.
Okay, and? You guys, where is the fic where Patrick Stump is as crazy in love with Pete as Pete is with him, but he's just WAY better at hiding it? Not that I don't um, occasionally really like jailbait Patrick stuff, but come on, I want successful confident total-music-whore Patrick *now* being crazy in love. OH PATRICK STUMP, YOU ARE THE MARVIEST. Seriously, I don't know how it is that I am surprised *every time* by how good IOH and FUCT are, but I am.
Conversation I had at work:
boy I was totally not dating: "So, why is Jay-Z on that one Fall Out Boy song?"
me: "He likes them. Also he's their boss."
boy: "Really?"
me: "Well, he's the boss of Def Jam, which is half of the label they're on."
boy: "Wait, really?"
me: "Well, yeah, Island/Def Jam. Also, he likes them. He totally gave themthe ultimate ghetto pass Roc-A-Fella Records bling as a gift. But mostly he likes them."
boy: "Jay-Z likes Fall Out Boy."
me: "Yes."
boy: "*Jay-Z*."
me: "So does Kanye West. And Lupe Fiasco. And the Roots."
boy: "Are you shitting me?"
me: "Well, they like Patrick Stump, anyway."
icon keywords: action transvestite. An Eddie Izzard photo that makes me chortle with glee. It is one of my (many) icons of gleefulness. And or cheerful queerness. Or loving Eddie Izzard.
