State of the babble.

[hackthis_archive]

I am not a morning person. No, like, for real, SO not a morning person. I had a thought that was going there, but mostly at this point I am all just blathering. Points of interest:

a) I posted my picfor1000 story, which is Chuck Happiness Was Never Really Our Success, which I apologise madly for if you tried to read it yesterday. There was a bit of a coding snafu, which cut out, like seven lines, which, when dealing with 1000 words, kind of relevant.

b) All Hail Generation Kill people! UK goers, GK started airing on FX like yesterday, so you know, FUCKING WATCH IT. Ahem. And the rest of us are required (yes, by me) to read bluflamingo's Yuletide Resolution story Seagulls and Sand, which takes place when Nate goes to visit Brad in the UK. Ah, GK fen, we do not turn out a lot of work (I have complaints about this), but what we do churn out I enjoy immensely. No lie. Maybe I need to check out the GK-based resolutions myself. Hmmm.

c) Speaking of small but mighty fandoms, Leverage folk, OMG THE ALEC/ELIOT Y'ALL ARE WRITING IS THE BOMB! Naturally, I (biasedly) recommend everything sparky77 has written (Leverage/O11 people), as well as with_a_key's work (esp this story), and this story by merle_p and this story by darkeyedwolf.

d) DEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA,

U IZ THE MOST AWESOMEST EVER.

<3,
X

e) Rahm Emanuel continues to be greater than you. (or me). Turns out the NYT has a White House OTP too.

f) I know y'all thought I was bullshitting you about Robert Downey Jr being cracked out in The Kingdom of the Blaggers, but I wasn't. Hell, by this example, I totally didn't apply ENOUGH crack. Gacked from musesfool

g) We now return you to your regularly scheduled Merlin/Burn Notice*/Psych/Gossip Girl/Leverage/BSG** babbling already in progress.

g2*) Burn Notice people, it is not my imagination that Michael got hotter, is it? Yeah, didn't think so. Also, do we all agree that in the Sam & Michael relationship, Sam is the big brother, which is why he gets to call Michael "Mikey" and nobody else does. Do we have fic about that, because we sure as hell need some.

g3) BSG, people, I don't even have words about the last two weeks. Actually, yes I do : OMGWTFBBQSTOPLYING!

psst: your html for the NYT/Rahm link has fail... it's trying to append the URL at the end of the page it's coming from (e.g., my flist), likely cos it's missing the http:// part.

You should TOTALLY write that. And yes indeed, Michael has managed to get hotter. I am not sure how, but your eyes do not deceive you.

a) Bryce!

b) It's mine! It's all mine! JUST FOR ME! *clutches story to her chest* (I have this GK bunny that I don't really know how to put into words but maybe one of the resolutions can spark something)

c) Yes! I need to get on that Leverage/Merlin thingy I promised sparky77

d) ISN'T HE JUST? <3

e) Oh dear gods. Wow. That RPS basically writes itself now.

f) I read that and thought of you.

g) Squeeee!

Oh, I LOVE the Rahm piece in the NYT. Thanks for the link...

[lembeau.livejournal.com]

Yay for Chuck. Those additional seven lines did help, a lot, lol. It was adorkably cute. Chuck <3's Bryce.

I will eventually get to Leverage (and Burn Notice). Some day. But that's never stopped me from the sparkly fic, so yay!

Heh, RDJ is all kinds of awesome. Did you see the vid where he's being asked about his nominations? It's adorable, cuz he's teasing his wife, who's off-screen.

I'm sad I can't access the Rahm NYT article. Maybe I'll try later.

SO DO I!

but what we do churn out I enjoy immensely. No lie.

Indeed. That's some good stuff right there.

Maybe I need to check out the GK-based resolutions myself. Hmmm.

Dude, when I read that NYT article, my jaw dropped a little. Because there really was slash in the Grey Lady. I mean, they ended on *this*:

Then Mr. Obama came to his door.

“Mr. President!” Mr. Emanuel said, jumping from his couch to his feet in something that resembled a dance move, and they walked out together.

And they lived happily ever after. (And with civil liberties for all!)

d) SECONDED (also having a crush on the President- eff it, the whole First Family- is very weird, but I could get used to it)

f) RDJ and Anne Hathaway = my personal dream cocktail party. Thank you for linking, I made ridiculous squee noises through the entire article.

Best.Rahm post.ever. Thanks for that.
