There are a a couple I didn't get to, but I'm all listed out for now!

→ sisabet is hosting a
Vidder Poor Me Meme
my whining and complaining can be found here

→ In case you missed them:

• I opened up a brand new community this week. stupid_happy Everydamnthing is sadly gone. Still got the website though.
• To christen this new community I posted the one thing I knew I could finish, Hung From the Same Twisted Rope, a Lost Jack/Claire fanmix.
• gigglemonster and I are holding a Harper's Island Stocking Stuffer Exchange over at the_cannery. If you watched this show and want to write fic for it (or know anyone who does!) now's the time to sign up! (Sign-ups close this Sunday.)

→ Last call for cards. I should be sending cards/postcards out by the 7th but the reality may look more like the 14th. One or the other. Either way, they will be getting there before the big guy himself.

→ Don't forget to take a peek and share your tunes over at my holiday music share meme.

→ If anyone has posted a holiday wish list that I've missed please link me to it. (Pretty please?) Mine is over here. And I'm working on a "favorite pairing" list for those of you who are wondering about that. ETA: I added my favorite pairings for fic (not definitive) over here. Holy crap that's a long (and scary) list.

→ kmousie posted some great links the other day, some non-gift charity ideas for the holidays. I thought I'd share them.

• Heifer's International Gift Catalog
• Oxfam Unwrapped
• Red Cross 2009's Holiday Giving Catalog
• The Breast Cancer Site's Gifts that Give More
• ELCA Good Gifts
• Amnesty International
• CURE International
• USO's Support Our Troops

→ I must have watched that QaF vid about ten times. And then I ended up buying the series on the cheap at ebay -- something which I have put off doing for a very long time. I'm excited.

→ What are you folks up to today?

→ I stayed up pretty much all night last night on Skype with dayln03 and finished re-watching season 1 of QaF. Oh, boys. It is for that reason that I've had about 2 hours of sleep in the past 28 hours. Whee! *goes crosseyed*

→ I have come to the life-altering epiphany that Brain Kinney looks fantastic while wearing shirts, as well as while wearing no shirt at all. Are you surprised?

→ Why the frak are they always eating on that show? It's like, "Don't you wish you had some Belgian waffles, or a giant stack of pancakes, or some french thing cooked by an illegal immigrant, or a phallic bread stick, or some pasta, or a nice bowl of jambalaya, or some death!cake, or a lemon bar! Or some baby back ribs! Or a tuna sandwich with some potato chips and vanilla pudding, TED!" Those bastards make me hungry!

→ A big howdy-do to thespiansparkle & alliecat8, both of whom I officially met last night in chat. *waves maniacally* I am not crazy! I swear-ta-god!

→ Happy birthday!early to ongiara *tacklehugs!*

→ And also, happy belated birthday to dalezcar. (I know I owe you an e-mail. I suck!)

→ Does anyone on my flist have any recs for decent Queer as Folk, Brian/Mikey vids? I will let you eat my leftover Chinese food if you do! (Or you know, just love you forever!)

→ I am in love with these damn arrows!

→ I still haven't watched LOST this week. Please someone convince me to do so. I am kind of afraid of it. The few minutes I got to see scarred me! *whimpers silently in the corner* Is it normal for a show to cause such severe psychological damage?

I've been re-watching season one of Queer as Folk with dayln03 and I'm remembering, intensely so, why I hated Justin Taylor so. much. ( A list, if you please. )

The last season or two, with respect, I think I came around on his character. He was still a little snot to his mother, but I think he'd changed a bit. Or maybe I'd just gotten used to his stupid hijinks? I dunno. All I know is that he's so my least favorite person on that show.

Emmett Honeycut is love. As is Michael and Michael/Brian. (OMG! Chemistry!) Someone tell me why Linds was ever with Mel? She is so mean! (But she does make me laugh sometimes, I'll give her that.) Also, watching it now, now that I'm a vidder, I really really love the editing on the show. I think I'm also gaining a newfound respect for poor Teddy. (Ted, you look fabulous. Oh my god, he really does look fabulous!)
