"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

That's hot. Seriously.

Mike Rowe's pretty awesome. I toyed for a while with writing a Dirty Jobs/Supernatural crossover, because I think Mike would have a blast making fun of the Winchesters (and their utter lack of safety protocols!). But it would be borderline RPF, which makes me uncomfortable, and frankly I'm just not witty enough.

It's hard to believe nobody's written it yet, though, given the size of the Supernatural fandom...

Art Crawl!!!

I want the Fringe division to investigate something that the Winchesters are also investigating.

Because books.

I always wanted House to witness some of Sam's field stitches.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I just wrote No Reservations/ True Blood...I thought I would be set upon by Bourdainians.(It was just gen, though...I think they were afraid I was gonna write "Le Cage Les Halles" or something.) I won them over, ultimately. I'm good at impressions. (I never did show Dirty Jobs people my Dirty Jobs/Wire fic, in case nobody considered working for a drug dealer one of the "unseen jobs that make life livable for the rest of us."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I got into terrible eating habits while I was pregnant and I'm still trying to break out of them. Snacking all the time and ALWAYS having dessert was fine when eating for two, nsm anymore.

That's pretty much where I am right now too, but with chemo instead of pregnancy. Between the comfort eating, lack of energy, and taste buds that decided everything but chocolate and peanut butter was suspect, I put on a lot of weight, which I was totally fine with, under the circumstances. Now though, even though I'm eating healthy stuff again, I'm still chowing down on the sweets far too much as well, so I need to turn that around.

Oh, cool, erika! I admit that one of the stories I loved best from this year's Yuletide was that "No Reservations Narnia" story. So fun.

I shouldn't be as uncomfortable about that kind of RPF as I am, because something like "No Reservations" or "Dirty Jobs" is probably just as constructed a product as any scripted show. I just like to stay a long way from the slippery slope to pundit!slash. Not my beautiful cake and all that.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Super-late, but re: CCommunity hilarity:

That was pretty sweet.

That's the kind of thing I fully expect Juliana and I will be cracking ourselves up with some night in North Beach (or Vegas), while M and others look at us and wonder how the hell much we've had to drink.

That moment made me laugh so hard I cried. Literally. It's very hard to keep myself from randomly doing that at the bar (where my manager and a whole bunch of other people are fans of the show), because I don't think the customers would quite Get It.

Also, I am a stress non-eater, but I crave sugar (preferably in Sour Patch Kid form) like woah when I'm sleep-deprived. Which is now, since I'm working 65 hours/week. Grrr.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Since J got the leg clot last week, I have been eating Everything On Earth PLUS I started biting my nails again. I wanted to look fab when I went to NYC to visit my friends I haven't seen in 5 years, but I guess they are going to have to appreciate my inner beauty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know exactly what the question is, but Addison DeWit from All About Eve?

Also, for this job, one interview with two people, a day long series of interviews from 9 am to 4:30 with 11 people, and then they brought me in again to meet with the head of the office. At least by that third one I thought they wouldn't waste so much time on a candidate they weren't interested in.
