Another thought-dump
They're squeezing Illinois and Northwestern into one of baseball's oldest and crappiest (and yes, most historic) ballparks to play a football game, and due to this hilarity:
they had to change some of the rules. Like using one end zone because this one is six inches away from a damn brick wall. Oh, football.
My Mountaineers are venturing forth into the swamp today to lay the Florida Gators. This is kind of a big deal. It's our last game of the season, and we've already won our conference championship title. The dipshits on campus have already taken down our goal posts, because the last time we were this excited for a FBS team, we tore down both of them, carried one all the way through downtown, and deposited the other in our chancellor's front yard (I don't think he minded). I don't know what we'll do if we win, but if it's something worse than tearing down the goal posts, it'll just serve them right.
So I've been thinking about doing something, a sort of story round-up for my favorite fandoms. A compilation of posts wherein I take one fandom and tell my favorite stories that have been written in it. I don't know if there's any interest in this sort of thing from my flist, but it's just something that's been swirling around in my head for a few days. It would be for me as much as anybody, to have my favorite stories in each fandom all together on one page. Easy access. I think my first one might be for Merlin, because due to a dream I had the other night, I've been thinking about it quite a bit. Opinions? Thoughts? Pie?
I finally saw The Social Network! YOU GUISE, I LOVED IT. Not that I had even the slightest belief that I wouldn't. Fincher is still a genius, and Mark/Eduardo is practically canon. When he showed up at the house in California, standing on the doorstep in the rain, and that bitch Sean answered the door--HOLY SHIT. HIS FAAAAAAAACE. HE FLEW ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR HIS BOYFRIEND AND THAT HOME-WRECKER IS ANSWERING HIS DAMN DOOR. I need Mark/Eduardo fic in my life.
Did you guys know that mangoes are in the same family that contains poison oak, poison ivy and sumac? Well I do! (Now.) The oils in the skin of a mango can give you the same itchy, bumpy HORRIBLENESS that those other fun plants do. AND I GOT IT ON MY FACE. Because I'm a moron and wanted to get that tasty little bit of mango that was left inside the skin. IT LOOKED SO DELICIOUS. I hate you, mango. DIAF.
