...I say 'lame' way to many times in here.
I've been feeling kind of WEIRD lately. Today I almost started crying at work. I know, right? But it wasn't like that, it's just...I was alone in the shop because someone went home sick hungover, and I was feeling kind of moody, and there I was standing at the counter reading The Heart in the Bottle, and all of a sudden I was doing that wide-eyed stare thing you do where you're trying not to let the tears fall down your cheeks. It was really lame.
This is lame too - emerald_skies tagged me for that 'post your desktop' jobby (that's not the lame bit) and, uh...
Look, Kim Kardashian is HOT, ok? I can't HELP it. And she's one of the only women Trav and I both agree on (we share this computer). Having Kim creates a harmonious atmosphere.
...also, she's HOT.
I'm not tagging anyone else for that, but if you think you can out-lame me, please feel free.
Whaaaat else. In less lame news, I'm all caught up with the Pacific and...
Look, Leckie and Juergens, ok? I'm all about Leckie and Juegens. I've done that thing again where I pick the unpopular pairing (and I don't slash WWII soldiers, damnit! I didn't do it in BoB and I'm not doing it here!) but Leckie and Juergens make me happy in a deep, fundemental place inside me. Siiiiiiigh. And I love Leckie, I really, really do. I love him so much that I even love his overbite. I think his OVERBITE is SEXY. What has HAPPENED TO ME??
Ok, and unpopular opinion number 2 - I really don't care about Sledge. I'M SORRY. But I don't! He is so uninteresting to me. I care about Sid and Runner and LECKIE&JUERGENS and Basilone but I do not care about Sledge and I know I'm SUPPOSED TO. It's frustrating. I guess by the end of the series I'll care? We'll see.
I love this show, by the way. I keep crying. And the Melbourne episode was just lovely to me, the trams, Flinders street, the Greek-Aussies with their lovely Greek-Aussie accents, all of it (except Samuel Johnson being a dick-smack, GET SOME NEW ACTORS, AUSTRALIA!). And yeah, it's not helping my USMC obsession. Look, our SAS could eat Marines for breakfast and still have room for Vegemite on toast (YOU LOVE ME YOU CAN'T YELL AT ME), but maaaan. Something about those fuckin' jarheads has got me bad.
And in more actual, real, non-GK related news (I KNOW!) I am reading this great, great book called The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall, which is blowing me away with its audacity and its absolutely KILLER writing. It's so good. It's the kind of book you read where you never want to write again, ever, because there's no way you can fucking top it. Also, it's kind of intellectually pretentious and I wish SO HARD that it was written early enough for me to have Ray reading it in my fic (oh, there's Gk!), but it only came out in 2007, so alas, no. Do any of you have any other suggestions for edgy, intellectual, pretentious books Ray can read and feel superiour about? I've already got him reading the Iliad in Ancient Greek, I need something to compliment that. And no Palahniuk, pls. Or Irvine Welsh. Too obvious.
(I reached a breakthrough in my fic today, in my head, while walking home from the train station. It suddenly allll makes sense. At last.)
And finally, this made me cry for real, just now - Stars of the AFL come out in support of gays. I love my sport *sniff sniff* Look at the photos, guys, they're all gorgeous (the Saints player in all that is Jason Blake).
Ok, I need to go tell all the people who left comment fic at we_pimpin how awesome they are. Love to you all!
