banner!fear

ok, just went to see the B/A banner at the www.televisionwithoutpity.com forums.

My reaction?

Initial: Bleh. Grow up. Don't waste your money. Jane E. said the Buffy/Spike love story is her favorite plot arc, hah!

Belated, hidden: **fear builds deep in heart that somehow, somewhere, Joss will see this, and against all logic and rationality change his mind, and have Angel get back with Buffy, and it will be horrible for so many many reasons oh please make it stop!!!!**

Third: Bleh. Grow up. Spend your money on SaveFarscape! banners instead.

CAKE!

hhm... chocolatey goodness!

So my 19th birthday's technically on Wednesday, but my family celebrated today. A small clebration, but very nice. And cake. Chocolate cake w/ vanilla ice cream.

I got two equally gorgoeus cards from my parents. My dad always finds these unbelievably beautiful cards; I don't kno how he does it. It's like his super power-- superb taste in cards. My grandmother came over, and that's wonderful. She's looking so much better now, even still being on oxygen tanks. It was wonderful to have her there.

My gifts were as follow:

-Evanescence album 'Fallen' --> awesome

-DareDevil sountrack --> love the Saliva song, others

-issue of the Farscape official magazine ---> neat reading

-Stephen King's non-fiction book 'On Writing' ---> I can't wait to read this

-reference: '2003 Writer's Market' --> neat-o!

**** We interrupt this broadcast to say that Rob Zombie's song form DD soundtrack, 'The Man Without Fear', is stupid and we're skipping it******

- The Oxford Essential Geographical Dictionary --> because, apparently, I'm "constantly looking that stuff up and this should help."

- some nice matching bracelets

- a little key-chain quote book on girl power

- nice light-weight dark jean jacket, that brings out the red in my hair.

- taken out to lunch w/ friend K earlier today

- $60 toward my new "Have a Life Fund." Seriously-- that's written on the card. You don't know how pathetic you are until your parents have to give you money to tell you to get a life. I think I'll go out, buy 'A Sudden Rush of Blood To The Head', and then put the rest away until Fanime Con.

oscarific

I don't care if he fucked Britney Spears-- Collin Farrel is freakin' hot.

And his accent. I knew he had one but I didn't realize just how well he'd been faking Americana in those movies until now. Sex-y.

All the cameras seemed permanently focused on Salma Hayek's breasts.

I'm surprised Chicago won over The Hours and The Pianist. Especially since LOTR was a better movie than Chicago, for all I enjoyed the latter.

I think it was a poor mark on the Acedemy to give Roman Polanski a personal award, or even to nominate him. The possibility of giving a collaberative work like a feature film the Best Picure award is one thing (and it seems like everyone agrees The Pianist was an amazing movie), but to give the man personally award is a mistake. And I wish he had shown up personally, so he could have gotten arrested.

I'm sad I missed Adrian Brody's acceptance speech. It sounds from everyone else like it was adorable.

I :heart: Michael Moore. Even though he was boo-ed off-stage by the same audience that clapped for his winning, and even though he took the opportunity to shamelessly spout his politics-- can you blame him?What better opportunity for attention-- I still think his movies kick ass and he deserved it.

yummy

yeah baby. Surprise present.

Huge bag of chocolate-covered blueberries and apricots from Casa de Fruita.

That's what I'm talkin' bout.
