WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!





A special congrat's to Evgeni Malkin for winning the Conn Smythe Trophy. :D



Also... I would just like to say that the Detroit fans were great about watching the final presentation, passing of the Cup and cheering for the team. That was very, very cool. :)

ETA: One of the best sights in hockey!

*beams*

I am so proud of my "boys". After the last loss, I was worried they wouldn't be able to really battle back to a place where they could play to win. Tonight is proof that not only could they hit that level, but that they could also raise the bar to play harder, faster and smarter than ever. Win or lose this Friday, they had this night and this game. And it was awesome.

THIS. Blasted truck (not this one...just one with the same song) goes through my neighborhood at least three times a day. Two of those seem to be after I get home from work. GRRR

I know I have some writers and/or gay/gay friendly people on my flist, so I'm spreading the word...

Amazon has lost their minds

Now, mind you, given that Amazon has removed the seller rankings due to a new exclusion of "adult" material, I went to check on the rankings of the Anita Blake novels. (Yes, I read them. Don't judge me!)

Blood Noir - Amazon.com Sales Rank: #2,693 in Books

Now, this book starts chapter 2 with the following:

"They had a disagreement on whether I should leave my heels on, or take them off. Nathaniel voted for on; Jason wanted off. Jason's point, 'I want to go down on her, and the heels will hurt.'
Nathaniel's point, 'Yeah, the heels hurt, what's your point.'
I settled the argument this way. 'Whoever is doing the oral sex on me gets their preference on the shoes.'
'Lose the shoes,' Jason said, and there was a look in his face that tightened things low in my body without him touching me at all."

Now, do you think that this book might delve into "adult" territory from there? Just maybe?

*does not understand the reasoning at Amazon*

To my TV. It has died a truly pathetic and sad death. It won't turn on, but when plugged in it chirps a seriously annoying, rapid and high-pitched tweet. My poor dog apparently had to listen to that all afternoon. The poor baby. *sigh*

So, the shuttle is a go to come in at 3:14. I know it's going to happen. I know the time. Betcha I still jump out of my skin when the sonic boom hits. LOL

My Friday night fun involves a fever, the voice of a frog creature and a cough with which my body is attempting to hack up a lung full of icky stuff. 'Tis sexy, no?

Yes. That Ellen.

What are you waiting for??? Clicky! You absolutely MUST watch this! :D




Thanks to teresadivicenzo for bringing this gem out into the light. :)

A while ago I had asked if anyone knew how to make an animated icon for a particular scene from Fringe's pilot episode. Now I have it! So, I just wanted to show off my new icon, which was very kindly made by fan_cifully. Her graphics community is located at fan_cicons in case you'd like to see her other very cool creations.

Oh! To make it even better, she made it in b/w, too. :D

You need to ask? The gorgeous Shar Pei/Shepherd mix, of course.

Princess


Of course, my other "babies" are top notch too.

Junior (the YorkiePoo)


Joshua (the mostly Rotti)

If I were back home, it would be going out with the family for Christmas Eve dinner. :(

Seriously? They want just one answer? Not gonna happen.

note: I'm considering ships that weren't started and/or continued as they should have been.

ST: Voyager - Janeway/Chakotay
Doctor Who - Nine/Rose/Jack
Doctor Who - Ten/Jack
Doctor Who - Ten/Martha
Doctor Who - Ten/Reinette (although I suppose that couldn't be helped)
HP - Harry/Hermione
HP - Draco/Ginny
HP - Ron/Luna
NCIS - Gibbs/Jenny
Buffy - Willow/Xander
Relic Hunter - Sydney/Nigel
Blood Ties (tv show. not books.) - Vicki/Henry

...I'm sure there are more that I'm just not thinking of. And, why are my ships so ridiculously straight? *ponders*

But, this is the funniest damn thing EVER!

Vibrator pulsates to students' music

Ya gotta love the student paper at Penn State. :D

THE FACE TO FACE TOUR

Three Rivers Stadium - Pittsburgh, PA - August 2, 1994

Billy Joel and Elton John together on stage. It was amazing! It might not have the humanitarian edge of Live Aid or the historic power of Woodstock, but it was a concert that I will never forget. Two of my all-time favorite artists doing what they do best in front of a screaming crowd of tens of thousands of fans. And the song that got the most laughs...and probably the most enthusiastic sing-a-long? "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music. LOL

OMG! I am seriously in love with this show. I'm not sure who all on my flist is watching, but... I need someone to gush with!

( Spoilers for Safe )

Anyone else?

Audience participation meme!

Name first 10 fandoms that come to your mind. Your flist is supposed to write which character from those fandoms you're most like in their opinion. It's about the character you're most like, not the one you like the most!

01. Bones
02. Fringe
03. Doctor Who
04. NCIS
05. Torchwood
06. Blood Ties
07. Will & Grace
08. Eureka
09. Night Court
10. Star Trek: Voyager

Obviously my brain began grasping toward the end. Eeks.

Okay, my darling f-list. I know that there are at least one or two video/graphics makers around, so I'm here to beg for assistance.

I'm in need want of an animated icon for Fringe. It's from the Pilot ep and is the scene where Peter gets out of the car and takes off his sunglasses. (see approx 1:26 - 1:29 in the below vid as an example)



I've looked everywhere and can't find quite what I want. I'm even willing to make it myself, except... I don't know how!

Anyone out there that can show me?

*looks hopeful and offers cookies*

Paterno says he will coach Penn State in 2009

(12 hours, 21 minutes ago)


STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania (Ticker)—Penn State coach Joe Paterno, who turns 82 next month, has every intention of coaching next season.

Paterno, whose 382 career victories are the most in the Football Subdivision, told a crowd of approximately 6,500 fans during a pep rally on Friday that he will return in 2009 and, “and run out of that tunnel next year.”

Paterno stood and spoke for 15 minutes without the cane he has used since injuring his right hip earlier this season. He recently admitted that he needs hip replacement surgery and will have it soon. The injury has caused Paterno to coach several games from the press box.

Paterno’s eighth-ranked Nittany Lions (10-1) can clinch at least a share of the Big Ten Conference title and Rose Bowl berth with a win over No. 15 Michigan State (9-2) on Saturday.

There had been rumors that JoePa would announce his retirement following the game.
