Odds and sods

[hackthis_archive]

1. A few weeks ago I mentioned that my hotass girlfriend, Christina Hendricks, was in the new Broken Bells video. Y'all it's so depressing. And a big ode to Firefly I would guess. Still the hottest in the land. Especially when she's teasing Elizabeth Moss.

2. Thank you alethialia and inmyriadbits for my footballs!

Speaking of football...

3. Americans, are you sober yet, because I know yesterday's match left a lot of people looking for the worm at the bottom of the bottle of Mezcal?

I have to admit when the game started I was happy for both sides. I was totally willing to see Ghana win. And then they won and I was so sad! My poor babies! Tim Howard! Benny Feilhaber! Michael Bradley, I was so willing to be your cougar.

People, if there is no consolation sex between Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey after this I will lose my faith in the entire world. Seriously. Clint kept getting smacked in the mouth and when it was over all those tears. C'mon, you know there has to be consolation we'll get'em next time fucking.

3 1/2. Alexi Lalas. Keep being awesome, because holy shit that dude you are working with is a dumbass.

4. Dear England,

This morning the following conversation transpired while you were playing:

Person X: Who's playing
Me: Germany v England
X: How's it going?
Me: Germany totally has England over its knee.
X: Wow... I have not heard that expression before.
Me: Yes, but it's still fitting.

And I was talking about when the score was only 2-0!

All due respect, but Alexi was right, y'all are not as good as your paychecks and egos think you are.

5. Walton Goggins (Boyd Crowder, people!) is going to be playing a criminal in Predators, the film. This film also has Larry Fishburne, Adrian Brody. Huh.

5 1/2. And then there is also Inception, which was written and directed by the most awesome Chris Nolan. It stars Ellen Page (!), Joseph Gordon Levitt (!!!!!) and Cillian Murphy (!!!!!!!). It also has Leo DiCaprio, but I don't like him so whatevercakes.

6. Back to football for a minute. Maradona, your team, they are bad fucking ass, no doubt. BUT. Have y'all thought of coming out of the 80s and cutting your mullets and other various offensive hair styles? I'm just saying.

7. I was gonna give y'all some music today (It's gonna be all All Female Mix), but I'm a bit knackered, so I'll hook you up later this week.

8. no_detective and scribblinlenore I heard my first Adam Lambert song this weekend and thought of you. I can hear people gasping in shock*, I know what came over me, but I was forced to listen to the radio (which I avoid like Fox and Friends) and "What Do You Want From Me" came on and it was not bad.

*I do not do the radio or American Idol or pretty much anything owned by Mega Corporation or Simon Cowell or Clear Channel. That's how's it possible to avoid these things.

:laugh:

I so agree, the players do need a haircut. Hey maybe they are like Hercules, once their hair gets cut they can't play.

I was vaguely interested in Inception when I saw the first trailer. When I saw the Cillian involvement I knew I was going opening weekend.. Joseph Gordon Levitt? Ah, as if I needed additional justification.

QOTD seen on Twitter: "I have not seen the Germans abuse the English this badly since the end of 'The Great Escape.'"

I totally need this. NEED IT. Ahem.

I didn't even *like* Landon Donovan before this World Cup. (back in the late 90s, when LD came back from Europe, everyone was all, Landon Donovan will save U.S. Soccer! But he didn't! We used to call him Landon of Nazareth).

I had absolutely no interest in Inception because I am not a Leo fan, but then I saw a trailer and it was awesome and Joseph Gordon Levitt! So I will definitely be seeing it. And I have no interest in Predators until I saw that Walton Goggins was it, but I have a very bad feeling that he dies early in the movie, so I'm not sure I'm going to bother with that.

OMG, yes! I need it now. *makes grabby hands*

Re: #8. YAY! *twirls and twirls and twirls*

Seriously, WORD. I think FIFA's being a bunch of idiots w/r/t the tech, but there was nothing about that game to convince me that England had the better team.

Sad, but true story? My son stops fussing when we play Adam Lambert. *sigh* The world doesn't know the pain of having to interrupt The Headstones to cheer up a 4 month with Adam Lambert

3. i totally agree with you, i was so confused at the end of the match. actually for some Dempsey/Donovan comfort smut you may have to write because there is NO WAY i'm able to. ;)

4) God, but were dismal. Awful. Appalling.

It was one of the most embarrassing performances we have never put on.

In fact, this entire World Cup I'd like to wipe from the collective memory.

The worst of it is, those players, individually - or, well, playing for their clubs - are awesome players.

Rooney doesn't know how to not to score for Manchester United. Terry is amazing in Chelsea's defence and Lampard is such a presence of Chelsea as well. Gerrard is a brilliant player for Liverpool. I could keep going, but I won't *g*

But take all these players away from their clubs and they seem to forget how to play. It's horrible to watch because we know how good they are on a club level.

one day we will get a manager who knows how to get the best out of them, the same way their club managers do. It will probably take years for that to happen, but one day.

Germany utterly deserved the win, no doubt about it.

But, hell, FIFA really need to get line technology in. How many goals have been disallowed/ignored now?

6) HAHAHAHA ROTFLMAO No, they haven't thought of doing that *g*

I still can't even talk about England. They have four years to put together a squad not entirely comprised of arrogant divas who don't know how to pull their shit together. *SIGH*

WHY DOESN'T THE VIDEO PLAY? GRRRRR! But yay for breaking your Adam cherry, lol! You should watch that song's video! Adam's just a woobie who wants to be loved!

It also has Leo DiCaprio, but I don't like him so whatevercakes.

OMG, I thought I was the only one with DiCaprio Issues. *clings to you*

I'm honestly fascinated with Boyd Crowder. Goggings is doing a really good job with that character!

Yeah, that was a little random.
