I said, go, Cinderella, go, Cinderella
There's not a lot going on today. I shoveled for a few hours, and fucked around for a few hours, and now I'm going to grade for a few hours. Before I go, I figured I'd spend a little more time on Misfits because I want a million people to squee over this show with me. And because I fell asleep too early to watch Southland last night, so I can't squee about that just yet. :-D
This picspam by stainofmylove (lj) is a great bundle of reasons for why you should watch Misfits. It is also what I would call spoiler-free (gives away nothing!), so hop on that train like it's the last one out of the station and there's a creepy guy eyeing you from the end of the platform.
Apparently Misfits is also great at cross-media promotion. Simon has a youtube page on which he stalks his friends and posts videos of them - this is my favorite (it's about Kelly and made me laugh out loud) - as well as a facebook, and oh my goodness, is he adorable. He also has a twitter page - simonmisfits - as do Nathan, Kelly and Curtis. (Curtis's is defunct.) Alisha has a tumblr page, now defunct, with gorgeous pinks, reds and blues in her photos.
I also love this freaking vid. I watch it at least once a day, sometimes twice, just because it's so damn perky and so damn S1. Link here for those who can't see the embed.
:-)
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks.
Stream.
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called.
Shopping cart.
3. A metal container to carry a meal in.
Lunchbox. Speaking of, I saw this awesomely posed Star Trek one at Newbury Comics and seriously considered buying it, but didn't because of lunchbox-related trauma. Of which we don't speak.
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in.
Frying pan.
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people.
Couch.
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof.
Gutters.
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening.
Porch.
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverage.
Soda.
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup.
Pancakes. Mmmm, pancakes.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself.
Sub or grinder. Grinders if it comes from a legit pizza or grinder shop. Sub if it comes from Subway.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach.
Swimsuit / trunks.
12. Shoes worn for sports.
Sneakers.
13. Putting a room in order.
Cleaning.
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark.
Firefly.
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball.
Are we talking about grubs? I'm in the dark here... (see what I did there? heeheehee)
16. The children’s playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down.
See-Saw
17. How do you eat your pizza?
With my mouth. ::iz confused:: Is there another way to eat it? Are we talking toppings?
18. What’s it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff?
Yard Sale or Garage Sale. Or Tag Sale. Used interchangeably.
19. What’s the evening meal?
Dinner. Din-din if I'm feeling cutsie or contrary. Or sarcastic.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are?
Basement.
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places?
The water fountain.
22. If something is diagonally located, where is it in relation to you?
Um. Across the way, maybe, or kitty-corner? Diagonally? USUALLY I'D POINT AND SAY "OVER THERE".
23. What do you call the place where the water comes out of the sink?
The faucet, maybe the tap.
ETA: Going to apologize for spamming, but for some reason the coding got incredibly fucked up on this post.
