I'm not going to follow you like some nervous poodle.

[hackthis_archive]

1. I am going to write a story called Fire on the Exhale, which is a shooting reference for those who don't spend too much time watching the Military Channel.

2. I don't think I'm doing yuletide this year, which will be the first year since it started that I haven't signed up, but I just don't have it in me. I am kind of sad about this, but I have to prioritize.

3. Dear White Collar,

The idea is that the shows are supposed to get BETTER as you go along, not worse. Each episode from the pilot has gotten progressively less interesting and more bland. Despite popular belief, you cannot hold my interest on looks alone. Looks are meant to enhance, like a very nice hat, they cannot be the sole substance. Fail, man. You also can't magically exchange one minority for another and not expect anybody to notice.

You are on notice. Clean up your act or we're over.

No love,
X

This once again leaves me with ZERO shows until January 12. Oh my god, Cooper and Ben and Lydia hurry up.

4. I am looking for music. I'm interested in trying out anything by Colin Hay (I have waiting for my real life to begin and I just don't think I'll ever get over losing you) and Iron & Wine (I have Sodom, South Georgia, AB's Song, Flightless Bird, and a few others) so, if you have a favorite, please feel free to share it!

I am also looking for Big Brovaz 'Favourite Things', New Edition's Heart Break album, and the Double CD of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

I am also looking for a single, straight, hotass, Recon Marine between the ages of 28 and 35, with a brain between his ears, at least one good moral, and who doesn't mind Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Ella Fitzgerald and The Roots on rotation. [Edited for explicit sex acts] Oh, and he needs to be male.

Hey, everybody has to have goals in life.

1. Tell me how the book is. I do read amazon reviews and those did not seem particularly pleased, but for $2 I'll try most things :D

2. I described the lack of June and Diana and general awesome thusly above: It is not fair to be all awesome in the beginning and then just fall off. This is like a bad dating experience. He tells you he's brilliant and has a place over looking the water. Turns out he's average and has a place overlooking a water tower.

3. Re Ella and Louis, I meant this complete works boxed set (http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Ella-Fitzgerald-Louis-Armstrong/dp/B0000047EI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1257797821&sr=1-4), which I just need to suck up and buy, but I would LOVE it if you'd be willing to help me out in the meantime.

4. You are hording all the Marines too! Why is nobody sharing. *sobs* Everybody is being mean to me! *sniffs* I WANT BRAD!

1. but for $2 I'll try most things

Hee!, and also: Good to know I'm not the only one.

Um.

ANYWAY.

I'll keep you posted about the book.

2. I love your description of the precipitous drop in WC awesome. Water towers do not cut it. Like, at all.

3. That boxed set looks fantastic. ::covets:: But here is a small slice of Ella & Louis deliciousness in the meantime.

4. Dude, I wish I were hoarding Marines...! Come on over, we'll go on an expedition together. Better yet, let's call Evan and make him introduce us.

1. Yay

3. Box.net won't let me download. It says the folder is inaccessible or deleted :(

4. EVAAAAAAAAAAAN! Have you finished Hella Nation? Also, we need to do Recon on some Marines. It'll be a new fad, Recon Women, for women who do Recon on Marines.

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

Curses. Okay, let's try that again.

I did finish Hella Nation. You were not lying: that was some awesome! That last article especially had me all o_O, good LORD. I would really love to hear the stories behind the stories...

Recon Women, for women who do Recon on Marines.

Hee, excellent!! I want a T-shirt. And some night-vision goggles.

Why didn't Evan do a book tour! I would've LOVED to hear him read from this! (Unless he did and I just wasn't paying attention).

ETA: And thank you for the music!

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this? Evan is fucking adorable!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OMG EVAN! Even with your limp nasty pornstache, you are adorable. And so soft spoken! No wonder the boys were like, ha! lisping pussy ass liberal.

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

Right?! It's a good thing he used to write for Hustler...

Your icon is truly one of my favorite GK icons ever. I know I keep telling you that, but only b/c it's true. Are you going to do yuletide this year?

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

The serpentine is awesome, it makes me ridiculously happy.

No yuletide for me... Too much other crazy happening, plus the writing's broken or something, I don't even know. It's vexing!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The serpentine... we were just watching that last week weren't we and talking about Alan Arkin and Peter Ladd? It's just so insane, and yet, isn't that what all the movies show, that you're supposed to run like that. I totally understand where Evan's coming from.

I know your writing is waiting for the magical healing power of Ben and John and Lydia on January 12th. Totes understandable.

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

If it weren't for what we learned in GK, I would have totally been serpentive in a situation like that...

I hope you are right about the writing. ONLY NINE MORE WEEKS!! Don't think I am not crossing off the days on my calendar, because I totally am. There also might be a heart around January 12. It might have sparkles.

...okay, fine. It totally does.
