Links dump.

You know that thing where there's something you really really need to do, but you don't want to do it, because well, you just don't? Yeah, I hate that too. Especially the part where it still has to get done.

Have some links for thought:

1. It's very hard for me to avoid Southland OT3 RPF thoughts when there are photos like this in the world.

2. Speaking of photos in the world, Oh, Hai thar, USA Soccer Team Porn on Video. Kinda. Thank snowybaby for your edification.

3. I told sparky77 that this is where Ray took Walt on their first date. Trufax, y'all. Discuss.

4. There is a show called I Heart Hipsters on Current TV. I could not watch it, not even in jest and mockery.

5. I have been sick for the last 2 and a 1/2 weeks (no, no typo). I am finally over it. I must say, I can't really recommend it. The sick part, not the getting over it part.

6. Does anybody have the new Roots album, How I Got Over to share? Thanks sugargroupie!

7. I forgot this one.

8. This is straight out of Treme. And not in the good, oooh, let me pack up my shit and move down there right now way.

9. Yesterday I came across this little gem of sports study. It's good to know that I am genetically predisposed to run, not swim. I'll remember that when I go swimming today. If you wonder why there is no money for AIDS funding, it's because people chose instead to pay for bullshit like this.

10. And while I'm ragging on where people are erroneously putting their money. I'm just going to come out and say I'm having issues with our current administration. I shilled for this dude, I can express my dissent. There are many places were we are, uh, not agreeing, but I'm going to say this up front and out loud.

"Barack Obama, you are the fucking president. I appreciate that when you were up for election you wanted everything to be a bipartisan effort, but I'm pretty sure that the last 19 months have shown you that that shit? Does not get the job done.

"At some point you need to sack up and say, 'This is how shit is going to be. It wasn't up for debate before; it's not up for debate now. Especially not when you all are paid to shut up and do as you're told. Ergo? Suck it, bitches.'"

*The 'bitches' in this instance being the members of Congress and any of the commissioned officers who are playing 'Punk Ass Bitch' with the DADT repeal. The enlisted don't seem to be nearly as reticent and sac-less about this as their superiors. Shocking. [/sarcasm]

11. But because we cannot be ending this on a sour note, I present to you: Marines and Kittens, brought to you by the most awesome romanticalgirl.

ETA: And congratulations to Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz! I'm not a big fan of hers, but I've loved him since Before Night Falls. What? Y'all thought I was congratulating Levi and Bristol? ;-)

"At some point you need to sack up and say, 'This is how shit is going to be. It is not open for debate. Especially not when you all are paid to shut up and do are you're told. Suck it, bitches.'"

Hear fucking hear. Bipartisanship is a noble goal and something that should never entirely be put on the back burner, but it's pretty impossible to argue with brick walls. To say nothing of the fact that the military wasn't asked to take a fucking survey when African-Americans or women were integrated into 'regular' combat units.

My sentiments exactly. You don't join the military to share your opinion, so why are they being asked now? Just more Congressional bullshit.

6. Yes.

You always have exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you so much. You wouldn't happen to have a spare million Americans dollars lying around would you? What? It's not like I asked for ten million! That would've just been greedy :)

Hahaha, sorry I'm fresh out. You're welcome. You're always asking for music after I've recently uploaded for friends, so it's not a problem.

I campaigned for him too and I'm so disappointed with was a pushover he's been. They think that they're going to get all this support from the youngins in the next election but as far as I can tell all of us (under 40, lets say) are pretty disheartened.

WORD.

1. I totally agree! Their faces!! :DDDD

3. Oh god, is that for real? Also, tell me more about that first date! Imagine Ray trying to kiss Walt in that last pic (#10) and Walt hissing, "Do you have a death wish, Ray?" while pulling away. The only reason Walt got free was because Ray's beer was going to fall and "it had a quarter left, ok?"

Walt got huffy and then sunburnt but Ray got his kiss in the end.

5. Awwwwww, that sucks! Well, you are well now so that's all that matters! *sends chicken soup just in case*

11. My (cold, black) heart is melting! Awwww, boys and kitties! Also, imagine Ray finding a kitten and wants to adopt it and Brad's all, "I already have a whiskey tango pet to look after, I don't need one more burden." "Awwww, I love you too but kitty! Think of all the hot pussy you'd get!" Brad's pointed look outside the HumVee says it all. "Well, yes, not at the moment but I bet you the LT would go off like a teenage boy at a whorehouse for this little cutie!"

12. Because I like even numbers. ♥♥♥♥♥

1. They are so happy. I love happiness!

3. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ray chose his beer over Walt! In another setting Walt might be offended by that choice.

11. Okay, BEST STORY EVER. Brad using the kitten to woo the LT. And the kitten sort of curling up on Brad's shoulder, purring like a 300 lbs. truck driver while Brad's working on the Blue Force Tracker, and then the LT wanders over (not that Nate's ever wandered anywhere) and he's like, "uh huh." And Brad's like, "I am being held hostage by a hostile forces. If I attempt to remove it, it digs its claws in." And the kitten purrs even louder and Nate just grins and Brad's like, "Is that for me or the cat?"

3. In this setting, he actually was! But then he quickly swiped Ray's beer and downed it, leaving Ray looking mournfully at his lack of beer andWalt.

11. LOL! "I am being held hostage by a hostile forces." Oh, Brad!

1. I've heard the best way to get rid of such difficulties as OT3 thoughts is to write them all down and share them with interested parties. I would be happy to help you out with that. Just saying.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LMFAO. You are always so helpful and supportive :D

[ricochet]

I do my best. ^_^

This certainly has nothing to do with the current lack of OT3 fic in my life.

3. I can totally imagine Brad's look of complete horror when Ray tells him all about the bobbing for frozen pig's feet. That's some straight up weird shit.

And re: Bardem & Cruz. Yay! I love his ass.
