she drinks another coffee and finds it hard to stay awake

A belated but very bon anniversaire to plum_evil. Remind me to send you Get Up Kids. I think you'd dig 'em.

Everyone should go read this. The comments, too. Just, yes. Also, this, because if there's one impulse I have to continue to quash in popslash besides the Bassez reflex, it's second-person point of view. Interesting points as to why it might not be just me, which is always reassuring.

With that, fandom news!
- Our best guesstimates of Joey's wedding date conflict with Justin being scheduled to appear at the Shark Tale premier in Italy. Personally, there's really no contest at all as to where his priorities lie in that scenario.
- There is rumor of a video for Who Am I and a benefit concert by Chris & co. aka Little Red Monsters in Orlando come November, the prospect of which makes me giddy all over again for solo!club!tour! season.
- According to KnoxNews.com, the biggest disappointment in Justin's young life is "realizing his biological parents weren't Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross." Bwah!
- Lance will be lending his voice to an electrician on a new Disney cartoon.
- I see afropuff's "!!!!!" and raise y'all an oh.my.god. Fannish holy grail, anyone?
- Your required fandom reading for today.

Started what is tentatively being called the Cabin Karaoke series. You see, I sing in my car. Loudly. Not when there are passengers, but I don't usually have compunctions about fellow motorists raising eyebrows or smiling along to my antics. Anyway, any commute in this town is about 7-10 minutes, which is just enough for a rehearsal and one take, and I've begun recording myself via LiveJournal phoneposting. There was Yeah on Monday, Tainted Love on Tuesday, Uptown Girl on Wednesday, and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous yesterday afternoon. The second one isn't quite as likely to make great-great generations of relatives roll over in their graves, but it's not good enough to post publicly.

walkingshadow rocketh righteously for scoring me a planner from the Honors department. Best ever! Well, right behind Athens/Rome slash, because that's just genius beyond measure, but yes, great little planner over which I spent a good half an hour transferring all my appointments/show premiers/DVD and music release dates with a chai latte. Oh, Starbucks. Coffeemaker in the house or not, I remain, as ever, your loyal addict.

Last night was great. Gorgeous sky, firm establishment of Roommate Night over burritos at Moe's, and so, so much squealing over a Google image search for Kirk and Spock pictures that Miranda and I had to close my door lest we wake the rest of the house. Just when you thought things couldn't get any gayer, they add gold sashes. It's fantastic beyond measure.

In current news:



Graphic thanks to Miranda and the National Weather Service. The bottom red X is Hollywood (Miranda's people), the middle is West Palm Beach (my people), and the top is us in Gainesville.

( Fucking Frances )

Also, this picture? Seen it before. Of Mulder and Scully. On which point, I recorded the Sci-Fi Channel expecting six hours of vintage Trek - got Kolchak: The Night Stalker instead. !!! Mah roots! Can't wait.

Oh, and GIP - new default. Again thanks to the uber-awesome Miranda.
