Happy Belated Eat Too Much Chocolate / Chinese New Year / Less Than a Month Until The Premiere of S2 Southland & The Pacific Day! The Things Wot Make Me Happy Edition

a) Southland S2 premiering on March 2, 2010. Watch it.

b) The Pacific premiering Sunday, March 14th on HBO. From the people who brought you Band of Brothers and the network that brought you Generation Kill. You like those, you are going to LOVE this.

c) If you want to know what my next two shiny toys are going to be, please to see a & b

d) Thank you to xnitelite for my awesome virtual candy and to alethialia, romanticalgirl and spookshowbaby for my hugs. Because I need hugs. Y'all have no idea.

e) People what are super duper helpful and patient when I am being challenged about my computer. I'm looking at you sparky77

f) Christina Hendricks is the hottest woman on the planet. She's stacked like a Lego Tower. So gorgeous Michelangelo would reconsider his sexuality. Has more curves than a snowboarding cross track AND she's a redhead. Yeah, I would go there.

And last, but never ever least: To My Awesome Flist

You, much like Christina Hendricks, are stacked like Lego towers, so stop trying to achieve some crazy standard of beauty that only happens with Photoshop and this insanely awesome photo editor I know who works Fashion Week.

You're all brilliant like Einstein, so stop studying until you see double and can't write your own name.

You need to be kinder to yourself and stop beating yourself up for somebody else's stupidity/meanness/negativity/desire to piss all over anything good.

You have enough balls to give Freud a complex, but enough tact not to take out somebody's eye when you're swinging your dicks around.

You know that walking away works better than throwing a tantrum, so stop getting worked up.

You're all incredibly kind/thoughtful/giving (especially with your time and intelligence and wisdom. And money. Even when you guys don't have money, you still give it up for a good cause).

You remind me that if you don't have the courage of your convictions, you need to reconsider your convictions or STFU.

And lastly, even when life is trench warfare, you offer a respite from what ails me and for that I am truly grateful.

You are all awesome, so don't lose sight of that.

Man, that is one hot picture of Christina Hendricks.

Christina Hendricks be hawt :)

::hugs more::

You see this article/cover of Hendricks yet? I am writing a post with it, but of course I thought of you first.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have, of course, seen the New York article. You know how I am. There's something weird about her eyes on the cover, though, I wish people would put the fucking Photoshop down.

The inside photo with the black corset is so hot I had to fan my monitor. That needs icons. God, the woman is fine. It's not even so much a sexual attraction inasmuch as I'm just so happy to see a real woman on TV and have her dressed like a woman, and not as though she should be ashamed of not having the body of a 13 year-old boy. Plus, she's smart and not attempting to act 20 or showing her chest all over the place like that's all she has to offer (cover excluded, check this photo she did for L'oumo Vogue (http://fuckyeahchristinahendricks.tumblr.com/post/392953618/luomo-vogue-feb-10-by-davis-factor-credit))?

In short, I like her because she's a woman who looks like a woman and acts like a woman.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Of course you have! Good to know.

In short, I like her because she's a woman who looks like a woman and acts like a woman.

THIS! I mainly knew of her from Life, pre-MM, where she was hot like fire and still a lady all the while. Awesome.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

She actually did Life during the first season of MM. I watched a few episodes of Life b/c she was in them and she's just hot all the time. Hell, she's hot just crossing the road (http://fuckyeahchristinahendricks.tumblr.com/post/369942450/via-nightinnantes). (TBH, I find the outfit kind of horrible, but she's hot and she's wearing glasses so I don't care).

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

I didn't watch MM until later (and was always sad her character didn't come back on Life, though now I get why). And dude, glasses are so your bulletproof kink! Hee!

Also, those pics just emphasize how very normal she looks. To have Hollywood folks calling her "big" or whatever is just...stfu.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Of course Hollywood thinks she's "big" remember Hollywood is home of the size 00. The other day I stumbled across Anne Hathaway talking about how she's at the large end of the spectrum at size 4, which, really now? She can STFU. I understand that b/c most actors are under 5'9 that ultimately they want the women not to tower over them, but c'mon, now. The whole 13 year old boy look is not attractive on a woman, never has been, never will be Kate Moss.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Oh, well do I know. But was Anne Hathaway being accepting of it? Because she's always seemed rather more levelheaded than that. I remember during The Devil Wears Prada they had to 'have a discussion' with her about her size and she seemed realistic about it, but hardly a cheerleader for the emaciated look.

A lot of actresses are also quite slight - not just skinny, but small-framed. Which is why I appreciate Hendricks and Noa Tishby, among others.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

She didn't seem particularly accepting of it, but I also remember her remarking that during the filming of Devil Wears Prada she went from a 6 to a 4 and seemed rather proud of that fact. But that's what happens when people are constantly remarking on how you look, taking your measurements and critiquing what you wear, if you're retaining water you must be pregnant. It could wear anybody down. The fact of the matter is that if you have to have a discussion about being that small, there's something wrong with the standards being set. But yes, I do know that a lot of actresses are small-framed, again to make the men not look quite as minute as they are. I like women who are vaunted for being tall or athletic or like Christina; it's just a shame there aren't more of them.

[redheadaholic.livejournal.com]

I approve of Christina Hendricks. And redheads.

[dexwebster]

All I can think of when I see pictures of Christina Hendricks is a quote from when Richard Burton met a 19 year old Elizabeth Taylor, "her breasts were apocalyptic, they would topple empires before they withered."

Cooper and Ben + suspenders. Discuss.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh my god. I just had this AU flash of Ben and Cooper as FIREFIGHTERS! And Cooper's always going around with the suspenders of his yellow pants hanging down around his waist and his ass and Ben is in this constant battle of wills not to just yank on them. Ben on the other hand always wears his suspenders snug over his shoulders, which gives Cooper plenty of chance to snap them. Ben's been wanting to ride the pole at the firehouse since he was five and got to pet the dalmatian at the 4th of July parade. Okay, I totally just killed myself with the idea of wee!Ben with floppy hair petting the station's dalmatian, even though those are notoriously bad tempered dogs.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

You know I will sell my soul if it means this story will come into existence.

There can be dramatic rescues from fiery doom and the saving of kittens from trees.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I won't lie... that seems mighty tempting. I could make it something short. Oh dude, the first time Ben goes tearing into a fire and has to be carried out by John b/c of smoke inhalation? *shakes head*

I am watching men's figure skating. The French champion is called like Florent Amodio , but he was actually born in Brazil and abandoned as an infant and adopted by a French family. I won't lie I'm kind of like, dude, that's so Walt. He even has hair like Walt and he's really good and such a pretty skater. Are you watching? You better be watching this!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I am not watching. I have to write a paper thingy. But now I am intrigued.


And, John will be super pissed at Ben and screaming about how stupid he is, but when they try to take Ben away from him to give him oxygen and medical attention, John won't let go.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Damn the man, stop the work!

The Russian gold medal champion retired for three years and then decided 11 months ago he was going to come and do it again. He's 26. Also, most male skaters are between 5'5 and 5'8, so you know, Brad and Nate are like freaks of nature. What if Brad was the champion coming out of retirement to beat the new upstart (Nate). You know male skating has to be as gossipy as the Corps. Oh, wait, I did this already with swim!Slash. Never mind.

Also, OMG! John would flip the fuck out and be cursing at Ben and trying not to think about how blue Ben's eyes are since his face is totally covered with soot. Ah, and then finally, Chickie gets John to let Ben go and then later than night John's at the firehouse, drinking beer, letting the new house mutt drool on his feet and Ben comes back all clean and shiny and apologetic and John throws his bottle near Ben's head, because Ben doesn't get to worry him like that. And Ben's like, I was trying to do my job, trying to make you proud and John's like, you are fucking stupid. I have no idea why I like you
you're so fucking stupid.

Holy shit, the canadian top skater really does look just like Walt, holy shit, I have to find his name so you can see photos.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I am waiting patiently for this picture of ice skater Walt.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I totally forgot, you can never claim a bad memory again. Vaughn Chipeur (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/CAN/Vaughn+Chipeur/1012603/gallery/im:urn:newsml:sports.yahoo,ap:20050301:oly,photo,olyfs12202170149.vancouver_olympics_figure_skating_olyfs122:1;_ylt=AvJXLY4dDP7obAMkMvd04eatIbh_). Another photo (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/CAN/Vaughn+Chipeur/1012603/gallery/im:urn:newsml:sports.yahoo,getty:20050301:oly,photo,e489ac2934df9a42f6433b5fbe59dbb0-getty-95657913ke040_olympic_previ:1;_ylt=Agj9sxUZs1rx02SoMRX.wk2tIbh_). The more I see of him the more I don't think he looks a lot like Walt, but he's blond, compact, solid and he skates.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I totally see it in the first picture, but not so much in the second. He is adorable, though.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I don't think the photos do him justice TBH.

[elzed.livejournal.com]

Christina Hendricks is absurdly hot, yes. Apparently though she is not a real redhead (do I care? No. Just sharing trivia. ANd she looks awesome with red hair). I've liked her ever since she turned up as the manipulative Saffron in Firefly...

ITA on the return of Southland, btw.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Shhh, stop messing with my illusions! (Although, yes, I have seen her roots showing)

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

Holy fucking god, Christina Hendricks. I loved her on Firefly and Life; I don't watch Mad Men, but maybe I should, huh? Yeah. She is just awe-inspiring.

Also, SOUTHLAND. I... Dude, every time I see a commercial for it? Goosebumps. Shortness of breath. Uncontrollable inarticulate noises. So excited. SO EXCITED!!

You are all awesome

Back atcha, bb.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You know how I am about TV, so when I tell you, WATCH MAD MEN. I mean WATCH MAD MEN. It's just... dude.

Also, Oh, Southland please hurry up and save the day.

(pee ess I saw your post about nekkid!Cooper, butum, last night, see what had happened was... okay, it was male skating! And the Japanese were awesome. And did you see Brian Joubert? He did modeling for Calvin Klein and I kind of want to write skating!slash now. It's sparky77's fault. We've been blathering about pairs skating for Brad and Ray and Walt and Nate (they're all sleeping with the enemy) and and... it's not my fault!

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

Right, Mad Men: on the list!

Dude. Skating. I was switching back and forth between it and Southland. Brian Joubert is fucking fit, I tell you what. And although I'm glad Lysacek did so well -- and good god, his legs!, for days, those things -- Takahashi's charisma cannot be measured with existing instruments.

So! In conclusion: skating!slash, oh hell yes, I see where you're coming from. The smackdown between Plushenko and Brad (Iceman! Hee! Okay, sorry) would be fucking epic. Because you know Brad would get up in that, even if he is doing pairs. Also, Olympic sexytimes! I approve.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm kind of feening on the skating slash, I have to admit. I'd read anybody at this point.

[madgebettany.livejournal.com]

Thanks for pimping Southland. Also, newbies can catch up on the current/old episodes at TNT.tv site. I can't wait for the new eps.

Your new icon with Yosaffbridge in specs is awesome.

[vylit.livejournal.com]

The Pacific looks so damn good.

And Christina Hendricks is ridiculous with her hotness. That woman, hollee.
