1. This is why Petrellicest is a viable option. Thank you piratesdaughter. For those who may be on the fence, I recommend scribblinlenore who broke my 'cest cherry. Yeah, it's just as dirty as it sounds.

b. antheia made FNL icons! Oh, FNL, how I love you so! You've inspired me for the first time in months. Why does everybody else not love FNL, too? Finally, a fandom that's all fictional and not me harassing George to run for Senate. Oh, what's that? Other people are thinking it too? Oh, well then that's okay. *link from heidi8


Friday Night Lights

Spoilers through 1.09 'Full Hearts'

Smashnstreet

( Normally I'd put a summary here or a teaser or something, but mostly I just want to say that I love this story. I enjoyed thinking about it and writing it and I feel good about it and how it came out. I have pride in this story, and I want to thank my betas for encouraging me to write it. Yeah, that's about it. Play ball. )

Model-turned-actors are not really high on my credibility rating. I mean Tom Welling is hot, but I don't see him earning any Emmys for his craft unless they make an Emmy for male hotass!divas. So imagine my shock when smonsterbite informed me that Taylor Kitsch (ain't that a fabulous surname?) AKA Tim Riggins used to model for friggin soft porn, err, Abercrombie. I knew he was hotassery, but I mean the boy can actually ACT. So, you know, I'm almost conflicted, but not really.

All The Trees Of The Field Will Clap Their Hands


( It's too hot to move. It's too hot for most anything. )

1. For those who missed it on Friday, I put up my November Frankenstein Mix, so yay, music!

2. George's pig, Max, died! I am very sad about this. Obviously not as sad as George, but Ari and I are very depressed on George's behalf. I told Ari he couldn't send George bacon in a gift basket though.

3. Speaking of George, uh, you may've heard that the reason Danny Devito was drunk on The View* last week was because he was still drunk from drinking with George the night before. Good one, George!

*For those who don't know The View is just another craptastic American talk show about fuck all besides giving celebs places to talk about how they great they are. You know, the usual b.s..

4. Ugly Betty fic! by mardia. I absolutely adore Ugly Betty, and America Ferrera, and this just made me very happy. There should be way more UB fic.

5. If you are not watching Rob & Big on MTV you are truly missing out on something great. Just saying. Rob Dyrdek is a big-time skateboarder (I'm sure John Sheppard is a fan) and Big is his bodyguard and they live together and they have a baby bulldog named Meaty. You can catch the episodes on mtv.com here, and believe me I know how shitty MTV has been over the last ten (fifteen) years, but this is just AWESOME. They are so married. ♥ Rob and Big.

Also, randomly, people go and tell sparky77 that Heroes RPS featuring Adrian Pasdar (who is fast becoming my favorite hotass on TV) and Milo Twentymiles is bad and wrong and writing itself. Err, ignore that. Wow, I can chose between really bad!wrong!RPS or really bad and wrong incest.

I think I'll just go write some nice dysfunctional FNL. Or maybe Clueless. I so want to write some Clueless. Or Ugly Betty. Did everyone have a nice weekend?

So apparently if you all vote on it I do it.

1. Nathan & Peter Petrelli fic. CHECK

2. 3000 words of yuletide turned over to my beta? (3,262 to be exact) CHECK, MOTHERFUCKER! CHECK!

3. November Frankenstein Mix? Thinking on it. You lot should really participate so I have more music to play with. Just saying. If you don't do for yourself, who will?

4. Friday Night Lights Riggs/Six-fic of porn and angsty doom? SO thinking on it.

I would just like to say that I think FNL may easily be one of the best shows on TV right now. This week's episode pretty much had me on the floor in agony. Ah-go-nee.

5. George was on Jon Stewart last night. Where's the youtube clip, people? sparky77? Hook a sister up!

[Poll #877342]


ETA: It's SO awesome when you have grammar typos in your poll! That should be According TO, and 'enablering' is not a word, kids, don't let this turn into an 'edumacation' problem. Or heaven forbid, 'irregardless'.

1. For those of you who have not seen Latter Days (Mormon boy + California out-n-proud = surprisingly heartfelt and HOT movie), you really really must. REALLY.

2. So I was reading People's Sexiest Man Alive this morning, because, hello RESEARCH MATERIAL, and they asked George who he would pick as People's Sexiest Man Alive. He said Matt Damon. Can we just have a moment and consider that I wrote that story on Wednesday even though the magazine didn't come out until FRIDAY. (As recounted to serialkarma)

Sexiest Former Batmen Who Were Also On a Hospital Show (When I Come Out You Won't Even Matter)

( George Clooney has been named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive for 2006 – joining his pal Brad Pitt as a two-time honoree. 'Brad's going to be upset,' the 45-year-old Oscar winner tells PEOPLE in its special issue. 'But that's what he gets for leaving me to go play Rainbow Tribe with Angie –- I would've been willing to adopt eventually. Asshole. '  )

Dear Friday Night Lights:

I haven't seen a GAYLE (Gayest Look of the Episode) like that since Season 1 Smallville. ( And then there's that thing that Tim said in front of the WHOLE TEAM (episode spoiler and also, for future episode) )

Wow.

Keep up the good work!!

hackthis

p.s. Yes, okay them0rgue, Landry + Saracen is canon.

I just wanted to give some music away because I can, so there.

If you like Ben Folds, try Ben Lee. I know everybody loves Ben Folds, he rocks the suburbs, he's sarcastic, he tells stories, he writes haunting songs like 'Brick' that depress the shit out of you, and you keep coming back for it like a sucker. Ben Lee is a lot like that just shorter. And Australian. And doesn't play the piano. Whatever. Try one. Try both. You'll be better for it. Ben Folds 'Landed'; Ben Lee 'Grammercy Park Hotel

Ah, Gomez how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: Ian, Ben, Blackie, Ollie, and Tom. That's five ways. Five whole ways. I can't compare Gomez to anybody else, I wouldn't even try. Their sound is distinctive. Their personalities eccentric. They're blues/indie/rock/cult-following-inducing and truly one of the best live bands that you'll ever come across. Their music has suddenly popped up all over Grey's Anatomy apparently, but I recommend them unilaterally anyway (that would be sarcasm) -– and not just because Ben tells you to tie him up and seal his mouth with gaffer tape. Gomez 'The Best in Town'; Gomez 'Woman! Man!'

If you liked Ryan Adams before he went all, well, Ryan. And if you like, um, singer-songwriters that do that blues/I'm so depressed/oh god, my woman left and took my dog/my iPod/ my money/ my clothes, then yeah, you want to hear Jeffrey Foucault. Plus, he gets bonus points for being from Baltimore. I hope y'all are watching The Wire, just saying. Jeffrey Foucault 'Money Blues'; Jeffrey Foucault '4 & 20 Blues'

If you like Lady Sovereign, um, try Lily Allen. Yeah, okay Lily doesn't rap or anything, mostly she just has that sort of sarcastic white chick thing happening, but she amuses me, so she should amuse you too. Plus, she'd Keith Allen's daughter so if that doesn't amuse you (read scare the crap out of you), you know, hey. Lily Allen 'LDN'; Lily Allen 'Cheryl Tweedy'

Back in the early 90s there was a whole progressive hip hop movement with A Tribe Called Quest and Leaders of the New School, where it was okay to be smart and rap and then gangster rap came along and screwed it up. Now, we don't have much in the way of that, but if you like Kanye West or ATCQ try Lupe Fiasco. Where Kanye talks about the black middle class experience and trying to fit in the middle, Lupe talks about trying to be whomever you are, black, white, yellow, pink, purple, skateboarder or what have you and how you have to be yourself regardless. Lupe Fiasco 'The Emperors Soundtrack'; Lupe Fiasco 'Just Might Be Okay'

Pulp is not new in any way shape or form. In fact, Pulp is so old that they're retired, but during the great 80s and 90s brit-pop/stool rock/madchester/here let me take 20 E's/ britrock/lanky-pasty-bloke-with-too-tight-pants-phase, there was nobody better than Jarvis Cocker and Pulp, especially not that scary looking Brett Anderson. Yuck. Anyroad, Pulp are like Bowie, and I know you lot like Bowie. Pulp 'Last Day of the Miners Strike'; Pulp 'Common People'

I you like Ed Harcourt, Rufus Wainwright and/or Damien Rice try M Ward. Matt Ward to be exact. I can't even begin to explain why I like Matthew, there's just something about his voice that I find incredibly elegant and soothing at the same time. 'M Ward – Let's Dance' (David Bowie cover)'; M Ward 'Chinese Translation'

If you like Ok Go, I highly recommend What Made Milwaukee Famous, who are, uh, from Austin, TX. About a year ago one of you lovely people dropped 'Hello Drama' in this LJ. At the time WMMF didn't have a website or proper CD or anything you could pick up. This has all changed, hell, last month they were on Morning Becomes Eclectic, which is a very big deal in singer/songwriter music scene so. What Made Milwaukee Famous 'Sweet Lady' ; What Made Milwaukee Famous 'Hello Drama'


As always here is the zip, with a few extra surprises: If You Like…zip

ETA: Now with even more singles, because you can't decide you like a singer/songwriter based on one song. Believe me, I've tried.

This time last week I had 400 words of yuletide
On Friday I had 800.
On Sunday I decided the whole thing was shit, so I have to start over again. I am not back to zero, but now at -800 words. This SUXXORS! But fear not yuletide recepient, I shall make it work!

I would like to apologize to anybody who's sent feedback to my gmail and never heard back from me and thought I was an uberbitch who pissed on dead babies and put puppies on spikes and shit. I actually discovered this weekend that gmail was sending my FB to the spam folder, along with the 60 messages of spam I seem to acquire every day. So, I um, didn't know and was just cleaning it out willy nilly. My bad for reals.

---

I was going to write some SGA pron, but I can't write them, so I was gonna write some FNL porn, but then I thought I should wait for Tuesday. *pauses* Why is it not Tuesday yet?! Why don't I have a beloved pairing to write porn for? Why can't I write my yuletide story? Why does the jumper I'm wearing make me itch?

lyra_sena thinks I should write Coach Hotass pron, but a) he's already getting mad sex from his wife and b) there's something about his wife that doesn't work for me. She looks kind of haggard. Her make-up is way too harsh.

When is somebody gonna write some Matt Saracen? *looks around curiously* Matt & the Geek Squad or Matt/Jason (The American Idol) or Matt/Julie or something. C'mon, y'all.


Music Link of the Day: 'Some Surprise' -- Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody in a duet with Lisa Hannigan (Damien Rice) singing a song written by Bellx1's Paul Noonan for The Cake Sale, which benefits Oxfam.

Has anybody procured the new Damien Rice? What are your thoughts on '9'? Would you care to share a few choice tracks with the rest of the class?
