BANOODLES
I missed a bunch of birthdays while I was gone last week! Belated happy birthday wishes to theamyrlin, movies_michelle, destina, and neroli66! I hope you ladies all had a wonderful day.
And today is the birthday of the ever-lovely fenchurche AND minim_calibre! I hope you both also have fantastic days and that the weather holds as it says it is supposed to. :D
Holy cow, I love my current Current Obsessions playlist. The first three songs it randomly played today are just way too much awesome in that short a time:
1. Kathleen Edwards, "Independent Thief"
2. Matt Pond PA, "Taught to Look Away" (I think this is via vonnie_k? Whoever it was: THANK YOU. I LOVE it.)
3. Colin Meloy, "Blues Run the Game"
I mean, the playlist is (obviously) made up of songs I'm in love with right now, but these are my three favorites. I could listen to them over and over and never get tired. And I think I shall. Hee.
I'm really glad (and relieved, admittedly!) that other people are excited about More Joy Day. I realized this morning as I was taking a shower and trying to think of things to do, that this part, where I start putting my plans into motion, is one of my favorite things about More Joy Day.
I have missed deadlines for both hard_core_hero and the Ray's Fingerprints challenge over at ds_closet, but as both of them have very fluid definitions of "deadlines," I'm hoping to still write something for them, um, sometime. Lately I find myself consumed with the desire to vid, and a hundred vid ideas banging at my mental doors, demanding to be let in and crowd out all of the Adult Responsibilities I'm hosting. I wish I had the summer off. Why couldn't I have found vidding when I was in high school? (Oh yeah, because we were still using BBS' then. THAT'S the reason. Also, I would've flunked with that sort of distraction available to me. It's for the best, really.)
I also have missed vidding deadlines, which I feel like I have WOE'd about to everyone around me, but possibly that was all in my head and I spared you. ANYHOW. Vidding = sometime in the near future, I very much HOPE. (Sweet Charity vid in particular, which at this point, greensilver should receive a medal for her patience. Except, omg, I cannot get this Office ensemble vid idea out of my head and it might have to get made first, especially since I've intimidated myself with the SC vid.) Writing = Sometime after that. *nods firmly to self and tries to ignore all of the physical-space stuff I should do instead*
Can we talk about So You Think You Can Dance? I frigging LOVE this show. I look forward to it every week, and usually spend Tuesdays watching my favorite dance routines from previous seasons to tide me over until Wednesday's show. So far I've only seen the first hour of last night's show, but can I just say that as much as I typically don't like Mia, last night she was giving (mostly) decent critiques and I want to use the word "banoodles" for all time. ALSO, I totally adore Joshua still, but I thought his and Katee's dance was not as good as I'd hoped for (and definitely not good enough to warrant Nigel's freakout). I loved Matt and Kourtni's foxtrot so much, though I had to go look up both of their names on the website, which concerns me on their behalf (especially since I really really like Kourtni and would like to see her go far). Mark was surprisingly sexy during the tango, Gev is totally in love with Courtney, and Will is, unfortunately, really outpacing his partner, Jessica, who is adorable nonetheless. Also, what is up with Nigel's hitting the NOT FEELING IT button over and over? Is that his new thing this year? To go with his old thing of always saying how beautiful the women are?
I was gonna talk about the BSG finale a little more, but this is long enough and I'm starving. I need breakfast.
