"do you have any cocaine?"
i am in much better spirits this morning, and am hoping the trend will continue! i love how supportive my flist is; thanks to everyone for their encouragement in my last post <3 work has been slow so far, but i'm sure it'll pick up quite soon - so i figured i should get this update out of the way. the weather's turned crispy and cold overnight, but i'm not feeling too down. probably since this means my flat should ideally revert to its normal comfy temperature, and also because i have a few new sweaters i want to put to good use, heh.
first off, don't forget that there's ONLY 1 DAY LEFT TO SUBMIT YOUR PROMPTS FOR ROUND 1 OF the_ass_fest WINTER SHORTS 2008 FLASH FEST! click this link to submit your prompts - since you don't have to participate in the fest to do so, why not act like a muse for authors and artists? claiming will begin on october 2nd.
this week is going to be busy, but in the pleasant way. eid is on wednesday, so i'll be dining at
asha's that night,
ava's hosting her housewarming shindig on saturday, and the big kuwaiti-bengali eid bash is on sunday, w00t! this means i will get to dress up, see a wide selection of friends, and eat a ton of good food. absolutely nothing wrong with that scenario.
ava and i also have to hash out the details of our nyc/equus trip, which is coming up in less than 2 weeks, ack! i'm in a bit of an anticipatory/nervous snit right now but i am a worrier by nature. just keep your fingers [and all other appendages] crossed so that everything pans out smoothly!
speaking of equus, themarisa posted some wonderful photos of daniel radcliffe last week. these are from the official premiere of the play. he looks so funny in that blue suit! but uhm, the one of him on stage more than makes up for it. i don't usually find the dRad to be sexy but i have this complete weakness for hipbones. and like i told themarisa, i was reduced to spluttering at my desk when i saw that photo with the words "NIPPLES. HIPBONES. GUH." running through my head. plus it doesn't look like he's wearing underpants! anyhoodles, you be the judge
this post's hp recs both involve cross-gen fics, which i usually don't read. but the following 2 stories are so engaging and so DAMN HOT, that..well, just read them yourself and you'll see:-
1) make your own bed by melusinahp: draco/albus. starts off a bit cracky, and then transforms beautifully into something deeper. warrants an angst warning, although you won't be overloaded by the amount.
2) the danger in listening by snarkyscorp: features harry/scorpius, and well, it's dirty. like really dirty. and SO GOOD! aaah *dies*
3) edward cullen/sarah palin OTP by stoney321: i have saved the best for the last! this was so fucking hilarious that i was almost crying tears of mirth this morning. it has much to do with the improvement in my mood. who knew reading edward's love letters to the palinator would be a remedy for depression?
y'know what else helps? listening to john noble say the most hilariously ridiculous things as dr. walter bishop on fringe. that man has the best dialogues, i swear. here are some choice examples:-
1) walter: excellent! let's make some LSD. >> this has been my msn nick for the past 2 or 3 weeks now.
2) [watching "spongebob squarepants"]
walter: and this is a show for children?
astrid: yeah, it's huge.
walter: surprisingly profound for a narrative about a sponge.
3) peter: walter, i am with a woman in her mid-twenties, she is going into cardiac arrest due to an overdose of anesthesia. her heart just stopped.
walter: do you have any cocaine?
peter: cocaine?! no, i don't have any cocaine!
walter: oh, that's too bad.
4) broyles: forgive me, dr. bishop. i like to think i have an open mind. but i have a hard time accepting that that man is hearing another person's thoughts.
walter: oh yes, so do i. which is why i would like to prove it.
peter: and how would you do that?
walter: am i required to keep him alive?
olivia: that would probably be best.
5) walter: are you taking any medications, prescribed or illicit? you can be truthful, i won't judge. in fact, if the answer is "no," i may encourage some drug use.
6) [while trying to pick up a patient's brain waves while he is hooked up to a crazy machine]
walter: oh my god!
roy: what's wrong?
walter: i believe with proper demodulation, you could receive satellite television for free.

i am also worth a fair penny if i should ever befall organ trafficking.
