More things that are not depressing, and are, in fact, awesome

[zolac_no_miko]

-Sometimes I really love my job. In one of our cases, the plaintiff's name is "Rick Love, M.D." ...Is that not the best pornstar name you've ever heard? It would be better if he went by "Dick", maybe, but then again, maybe a subtler approach is more classy.

-In related news, yesterday at work there was FREE BEN & JERRY'S ICE CREAM.

-And then, after work, I went straight to the theater and watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. So, okay, nobody should be giving that movie an Oscar, but it was damn entertaining! Giant robot epic battles, and delicious U.S. military action, [MINOR SPOILERS HERE] oh baby Black Hawk helicopters and SR-71 Blackbird and MQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicle and effing railgun, huminahuminah~!

-Related to that, Jarvis (Dar's sexy sexy MAZDASPEED3) and I have really gotten to know each other better since she's been gone. He's my boyfriend now. And, he's a Transformer.

-Today it was gorgeous weather out (and, also, really freaking hot), so James and I decided to go out and have fun. We went to the zoo, and the Rose Garden, and Pittock Mansion. We saw lots of awesome animals, and petted goats, and fed the lorikeets, and smelled all the roses, and walked barefoot in the grass, and saw the lovely view of Portland from high in the west hills.

-Then we got some Wendy's, and watched Quarantine (which is really almost as good as the original, REC, to my surprise) and some of Fallen (which we picked up at Blockbuster's), until James started passing out from the heat. ...Btw, if you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it. It is one of my all-time favorites. It came out in 1998, stars Denzel Washington, and involves a police detective going up against a demon. Actually, it occurs to me you Metanoia fans may be especially interested. ...Man, I really need to buy this movie sometime.

-This morning I watched Battlestar Galactica s03e18, "The Son Also Rises". [MINOR SPOILERS HERE] Baltar's new attorney is Romo Lampkin, played by Mark Sheppard, who I know and love as Badger from Firefly and Tanaka (why the fuck does he have a Japanese name?!) from Dollhouse, and is rapidly becoming one of my favorite TV actors. ...I ADORE LAMPKIN. He has sexy little black shades, and Sheppard's gravelly voice, and he's a COMPLETE BASTARD like it seems he always is. Oh man he is so smart and bastardy and devious and sneaky and a freaking klepto to boot oh man I want to lick him. Instant addition to my list of favorite BSG characters. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Wow, I really should be in bed, that's what I get for staying up late and playing D&D.
Yay Transformers, and WTF you're dating Dar's car! :D
Fallen does look cool I'm going to have to watch that.
Happy Independence Day and lookout for alien spaceships, they're probably causing this nasty heat we've been having in preparation for invasion, soften us up and turn us into puddles of gooe, oh wait the heat that's our fault.

Ahahahaha, I know, I tried to go to bed around 1, and then I ended up reading for several hours. Whoops.

Yes, Jarvis and I have a very special relationship. (...It's a reaaaaally good car. Soooo much fun to drive. Stick shift, six speeds, reeeallly powerful engine, excellent sound system and climate control... <3 <3 <3 The MAZDASPEED3 is a great car for people who love to drive.)

...Oh right, I guess you must have left Walla Walla before I showed it to everyone on my birthday. My birthday senior year had an Angels and Demons theme: Constantine, Fallen, Dogma, angel food cake, and evil peach pie.

...Ahahahaha now I wanna watch Independence Day. Happy Fourth of July!

[magusronin.livejournal.com]

So when I was looking up Fallen I came across an ABC miniseries by the same name. It was pretty good, it's currently all on youtube and I think I'd recommend it to you.

So the weather changed and I found myself with no energy today to do any writing, so I've been watching a few different things. The new sci-fi series "Warehouse 13" looks like it's going to be pretty good, I enjoyed the premiere tonight. The new season/mini season of Torchwood that seems to be happening this week is quite good, you should give torch would another chance. :) An another recommendation on the topic of Angels and Demons and British television is a series called Hex.

okay I should probably get to bed soon.

I'm so glad you love your life! I love your life! I love my life, too! It's all good, really. :>

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

I think it helps that I'm an "up" person, and I just get really happy and excited by little things. But yeah. Despite the bad things, in general, Life Is Good. I'm glad to hear Life Is Good for you, too. <3 <3!

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

ME TOO! I was talking to my mom about this just the other day, actually. I was like, I'm happy like 95-98% of the time. Just this morning I was in raptures for like, an hour over the fact that I had a really good bagel.

EEE CAN'T WAIT TO VISIT.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

HEY, OH MAN, REALLY GOOD BAGELS ARE NO JOKE. :DDDDDDDD

I KNOW!! :DDDDDDDDD

Lol I told James what you said about bagels, and she was like, "Well I know she really likes bagels," and I was like, "That's because she's Jewish and her uncle owns a bagel shop in NYC," and she was like, "...HOW DID I NOT KNOW SHE WAS JEWISH?! O_o"

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL OH MY GOD THAT JUST MADE MY WEEK. HOW COULD SHE MISS THAT?!

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

I NO RITE?! She's like, "Now that I know, it's OBVIOUS!!" XDDDDDD

She says, "Hey, Jewbaby!!!!! :D :D"

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

:snickers: Her Jewdar is dysfunctional. Which is understandable, I suppose.

HIIII JAMES AND ANGE WHAT'S UP? What are you guys doing for IN AMERICA day?

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

She doesn't even have a gaydar. All of her dars are dysfunctional. Probably because she's dating one. Dar fucks up all her other dars.

...We're watching Red vs. Blue! It's patriotic! Somehow! ...And then we're going to go and pretend to be Lauren and watch the fireworks show with her parents.

HAPPY AMERICAN SUPREMACY DAY!!!

Lol, completely unrelated, did you hear that Sarah Palin has quit being Alaska's governor? WEIRDEST SPEECH EVER. That woman scares me.

Oh, and I left my comments on your B&B stuff. I've never used Google Documents before, so I hope I did that right. All I had to do was save, and you can see what I wrote, right?

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the speech yet. The comments are there, I will read them shortly - Hannah and I are watching Merlin

HI

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

MERLIN'S NOT PATRIOTIC! HOW CAN YOU WATCH A BRITISH SHOW ON THIS, THE DAY OF OUR GLORIOUS INDEPENDENCE FROM THOSE DIRTY LOBSTERBACKS?!

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED. I was berating Ducky for like half an hour that we should watch The West Wing instead and she was like, or ANIME and I was like or SOMETHING AMERICAN COME ON JUST FOR ONE DAY.

This is pretty much our lives.

....I'm going to make you watch The West Wing when I'm in Portland >D

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Lol yeah we were like, well, Red vs. Blue involves the colors Red and Blue and shooting things, that's pretty American. ...And the dudes who make it are American, I think they live in Texas. Whatever.

You don't have to make me. I will happily watch some more! ...I don't remember what episode we were on. I haven't watched any since we watched some together months ago. I've been busy with other things.

...I hope you know, we will be making you watch The Mighty Boosh.

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I get that. RvB is totally American. YOU KNOW WHAT? I should watch MACGYVER. That's pretty painfully American. :plans on doing so:

>D WIN. And I totally get that. Happens. We'll find where we were fast enough I'm sure.

I ANTICIPATE THIS WITH JOY.

I'm reading Dar's novel right now. :3

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha yessss!! ...I've never watched MacGyver. -_-;;

Nice! ...Eheh, I keep imagining Jean (from B&B) and Jean (from edward and bella can suck it) hanging out. Or, making out. ...Which doesn't actually do much for me. Jean (EABCSI) is not that hot. Just kind of adorably fail.

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

It's very AMERICA.

Oh they would probably get along well enough. My Jean can be a bit fail, when he puts his mind to it.

As for the making out, I guess it depends on how you interpret EABCSI, doesn't it? He's not that into tits.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, they can hang out and be androgynous and fail together.

Yeeeeahhhh, that too. It depends on if EABCSI-Jean is having a girl-day or a boy-day. Jean kind of switches around in my head at random, and is sometimes both at once. Silly ambiguity.

...Anyway, it would never happen. Jean's neuroses are entirely focused on Wright. So, hanging out it is, unless Jean concocted some stupid plan to make Wright jealous or something.

Argh. This is so difficult. From now on they are Jean A. and Jean M. -_-;;

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

>D

That is the best theory ever. I'm going to use that one now. It's like Orlando only less pretentious! *\o/*

You can just call my Jean MANJEAN although he really isn't that manly.

OMG back to editing B&B now. I can't contain myself.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

I've never even heard of Orlando. ...But thanks to Wikipedia, I now know aaaaalll about it~! Looks nifty! ...Lol, Tilda seems to get cast in androgynous roles, doesn't she?

LOLOLOLOL MANJEAN OH THE IRONY!

Yaaaaaaaay!! :D ...By "editing" you seem to mean "completely rewriting", holy crap, woman! <3 <3

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking the book, but the movie's not BAD. It's the best one could hope for from a movie version of Woolf. And she really does. OMG SO. In the new Patrick Wolf album, there are all these bits of Tilda just TALKING and saying like CREEPY THINGS in the background.

:>

kdsnfks Only for the first few chapters. I just wanted a bit more Arceneaux time. There will be less changes later on.

OH AND. I'M ABOUT TWENTY SECONDS FROM REWRITING PARENT TRAP. Melissa and I decided it would be better if they switched places with the intent of MURDERING THEIR PARENTS FOR SEPARATING THEM. Why have I never thought of this before?

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEE~!! *glomps your icon* *has been rereading bits of OMG... AGAIN*

Heh, yeah, I know. And as I have commented, I think that's great. For the win, and also for the more fleshed-out story. Yes.

...DO IT. >:DDDD ...Seriously, that's fantastic!

[platoapproved.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA I KNOW. I have such cravings for Mal sometimes. :(

:>

I KNOW I KNOW I can't wait to write it. All these ideas. I'ma wait til I'm done re-watching the movie. The whole equation is so much more exciting when you add homicidal urges into the mix. This is how I cope sitting through saccharine movies with my family.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

That rp and those characters were really something special. ;_;

Ahahaha lol~!
