Well, I decided to bag the con. At least this way I can take G out to dinner for his birthday, if nothing else.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

OMG. Tom's bunny picture link is the best ever. Which reminds me... lo these many months ago (maybe right after the 2004 election?), someone posted a link to pictures of a cat dressed as Ron Weasley for Halloween. I saved the link on my old computer but didn't transfer it over to the new one. It's a long shot, but does anyone still have it? Google is giving me no love.
(I wish I could say it's for an actual purpose, and not just because I want to be able to access a picture of a cat dressed as Ron Weasley at a moment's notice, but... well, I am who I am.)

Okay, did you all know that Nip/Tuck's The Carver has an LJ acct? S/he has entries and is posting in N/T communities.

Aw, man. I'm totally tempted to get Emmett one of the miniatures. Gotta check with Hec first which one he'd like best.
Probably the Sting.

Why am I watching The Triangle? It's greatly annoying me. I should just turn it off and delete all the installments, right?
ETA: Or does it get better?

I'm getting the pig!
they have episodes that aren't as good, aren't as gut wrenching, but, honestly, even their not engaging stuff is still watch-a-couple-of-times-through for me.
I agree that not all are as awesome as some, but still quite good. I've actually denied myself watching each ep more than once so that when the dvds come, I can watch them all over again. Tis hard.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The new season of Queer Eye is starting out with a two-parter engagement/wedding special. For when you care enough to turn your special personal celebration into a circus for mass market consumption. (This couple is very cute, and the choices they've made for the wedding itself are pretty classy, but nothing has the sort of personal touch that the two people would have come up with if left to their own devices).
I think I'm going to take a pass on "The Wedding Season" since it seems to be more about turning men into groombots than teaching them how to improve their quality of life. And, of course, no snarking or risque comments from the Fab 5 because that wouldn't be family-friendly.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Does Invasion move while Alias is in it's slot? Or is it off the schedule for a while?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Own devices? Wedding? Most of the people I know who did it without professional help weren't even up to their own devices.
