Am I the only one...  
To find Stephen Colbert incredibly sexy?

I started watching his programme whilst in Florida last year and then when I came home, on the Comedy Central website.  I was overjoyed when I found that the FX channel was showing him over here...albeit a few days later than the US.

He makes me happy in the brain and the pants!  <3 <3 <3

Recs needed  
Calling all you other folks out there with curly, wavy and/or frizzy hair. My hair has gotten very long. I haven't cut it in more than a year. My hair has a whole lot of natural wave and if I let it dry naturally I get a combo of wave, corkscrew curls and fuzzy frizz. I don't ever use a blow dryer unless it's absolutely necessary. Humidity frizzes me up so bad I can end up looking like an electrified tumbleweed.

I need recs for an anti-frizz serum that you leave in your hair that isn't too sticky or too oily. Everything I've tried lately has been either one or the other. It's a hot humid summer and warm damp fall necessity. In the winter I usually use shampoos, conditioners and pomades formulated for black women's hair. A coworker steered me in that direction many years ago with good results for winter.

Need a little help here so I don't get frustrated and cut the damn stuff off again. I've done it many times over the years, but the older I get the longer it takes to grow it back. I like it long. I've even begun to like the silver (not gray) striping I'm getting. The silver is sooo shiny! I hope it means I'll be a silver fox when it all changes color.

Holy Mother of .....!!!!  
I can't believe it!!
Guess what can in the mail today!?!

Persona, the first one.

SQEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I Should Not Be Yawning at 4 PM  

  • And another beaded dragon bracelet, this time in an aquatic theme and I just had to add Swarovski crystals to Dasra. The only shame is that he's too big for my wrist. *grin*

The oven is fixed... mostly. The broiler doesn't work anymore, but I think I can pretty easily live with that in favor of an oven, so yay there. Shame I did not get a new one. But I think I'm destined to inherit pieces of shit in the world of appliances and large electronics.

Thanks to a friend I now have the entire Conet Project. Been scaring the hell out of myself ever since, it's great.

I've also broken down and tried Ben and Jerry's cinnamon buns ice cream. ...Wow was that a mistake. A tasty, tasty mistake. Must... control... portions... gah.

Ubisoft hands an illegal no-CD crack out to its customers. I am thoroughly amused. "Instead of doing the work to fix this, let's just do what everyone else does: Google a solution!" I love it.

"E3 this year is terrible. The world used to come to E3. Now it's like a pipe-fitters show in the basement." Really only linking because I just had to share that quote.

And yes, I am just sick enough to have enjoyed the Duke Nukem Trilogy "trailer". You have to be either mentally ill or an old fan, I think. Heh.

See, to them you're just a freak. Like me!  
You all need to see The Dark Knight. I'm not going to give anything away, other than to say it's fantastic, phenomenal, wonderful, and worth the lack of sleep seeing it at midnight caused.

My sister had her 21st b-day yesterday so family is coming today and staying through Sunday to help celebrate. I won't be on much if at all so I'd like to wish everyone a great weekend. I love you guys! *snuggles*

Box  
Box from [info]tainry! (since I can open it)

Lots of sushi tape! Our maillady gave me a knowing smile. She must be used to the sushi tape too.

Hmm. An envelope telling me to open the presents first...

And bubble wrap! (At the rate I go through it, sending things back to [info]tainry...)

First, a Barricade keychain! Yay! Something for the Barricade collection that I didn't have yet! ^_^

Hee! A jar of IronMan mineral bath. For fatigue -- sounds great, except it needs to cool off a few degrees before a hot bath sounds good at all. ^^; Though it's for a waxing or full moon and today's the full moon.

OMG!!!! A 'Megatron for President' shirt. ♥♥♥ So much win. SO MUCH. *flails*

Cybertron!Cryo Scourge, who I knew about and had completely forgotten about. ^^; His bio makes him sound kinda mean. He really just needs a Lori to yell at him and he'll be fine.

An exceptionally cheerful looking RH Barricade. Stickers. A vat of Energon-chain-colored jelly bracelets. Ha! I shall have to see how Side Burn likes those. A beautiful necklace. Ooh. And a rainbow of springy bracelets. They make a weird sound when rattled together, so I'm doubly amused. ^_^ All in a pretty round jar/box thing. (Round makes me think 'jar', I suppose)

*floats around room*

oh DGM 167!  
I. Oh. I think I shall ramble under a cut. I can't think of anything to say that can be non-spoilery.

spoilers for dgm 167! )

Bleach 318. OH KUBO STOP STALLING AND DRAGGING THINGS ON. ICHIGO VS ULQUIORRA TAKE II. PLEASE START IT ALREADY. NO MORE NEEDLESS CONVERSATIONS! SAME GOES FOR GOTEI 13 VS TOP THREE ESPADAS! START FIGHTING DAMN IT! And sadly, it seems the old man is the Primero Espada. BLEH. Now, please let Stark be the 2nd Espada. PLEASE.

Naruto 409. I AM SO WAITING FOR #410 TO COME OUT! SASUKE WILL BE FIGHTING~! XD I really want to see more of Sasuke! Hmm... and Akatsuki seems to be attacking Konoha? for Naruto. But now Naruto ain't even in the village... Wonder what'll happen, ne?

Also, I am rather miffed that the Vampire Knight fandom is either obsessed with Kaname/Yuuki or Zero/Yuuki... such that other non-pairing related works are pretty much IGNORED (or do not even EXIST in the first place). Which would nicely explain the number of LJ comments that I'm receiving for both my Twins Verse fanfics. For some reason, I thought that I'd receive better results on LJ than on FF.Net. Amazingly enough, I got more responses for LCS on FF.Net... and BB on FF.Net is doing as well as on LJ. Perhaps even slightly better because I have 2 faves for it, meaning that at least one more person has read it on FF.Net than here.

SIGH. It's fricking hard to find things on the twins anywhere (da, FF.Net and LJ.. don't even talk about MediaMiner). I need a Zero and Ichiru fix that does not come from MYSELF. JEEZ. You'd think people can pull away from trying to form Kaname, Yuuki and Zero into a working threesome long enough to LOOK at other characters. -.-

*coughs* Okay, I think I'm being a little unfair but well. I WANT MY ZERO & ICHIRU FIX NOWZ. Also, I'm feeling none too pleasant towards Yuuki presently. Or rather, since chapter 37 where she... SO DEFINITELY HURT ZERO WITH HER WORDS. Even if she went back to her "normal" self later on, it wasn't TOWARDS Zero. In fact, I'm beginning to think she's kinda forgotten about him. Fine yes, you have Kaname. Of course you wouldn't look at Zero.

Now, I'm also suspecting that I like fanon!Kaname more than canon!Kaname (which begs the question of do I really like Kaname?). Might be because I actually read more fanfic before going on to read the manga and hence my impressions of Kaname were very much based on the fanfic version... that does not have Yuuki being a vampire. Or Kaname so blatantly using Zero without feeling. So yes, I fixate on Zero. I don't care. I dare say I'm following VK because of Zero. I want to know his actions after chapter 40. Chapter 42 should have him back already. It better. Also, what happens to Ichiru? Does anyone find him? If so, who? *is hoping that he doesn't stay in the cold prison cell alone* *wants Ichiru to be found and be... "taken care" of*

I'm wondering really... Is it really true that the whole fandom (okay, not whole, but a lot of people) hate Ichiru? Including the manga readers? WHY?

Poor Daddy  
My poor Papa suddenly fell ill again. Said he couldn't breathe. My mom ended up calling the ambulance which brought him to a hospital. Unfortunately, its not his usual one and its really far from my home. Bah. He's warded there now and we can't transfer him. They're doing tests on him. His leg is all swollen from DVT and they're afraid a clot might have gotten to his lungs which would explain his breathlessness. Can't confirm until test results are out, which would be slow since its the weekend. *wails*

Good news: I'm off tomorrow so I can do chores and then go to the hospital to be with him.
Bad news: My mom's due to go away to Malaysia on Sunday which means I'm going to be stuck all alone taking care of things here. And I still have to work, because I can't find a replacement on a weekend! This totally sucks.

I have so many chores to do. For example, we were all in hospital today, and nobody remembered to feed the cat. (Well, I was at work and had to leave hurridly, so I have that excuse) My cat was so starved when we got home. Poor baby.

So Holo wakes up the next morning, for once in weeks getting a very good sleep, and then asks herself:

"Hmm, what am I going to do today?"

Which is weird, 'cause generally, I'd know what I'd want to do O_o but everything's so unpredictable recently I can't really.. "plan" as much anymore.

But in terms of fandom, if there's a pairing in the Saiyuki fandom that I don't like, it's Sanzo x Goygo because I can't see it. And I haven't seen any other authors convince me otherwise.

And I finally got "Nocturnal Romance", err, again. D: 'cause it was missing from my computer. It took me forever. @_@ augh. I had no patience in me yesterday.

Anyway, I'm gonna go finish The Final: V and plan/plot/etc while I download Moi Dix Mois stuff.

Dark Knight vs Iron Man  
I haven't seen either movie yet, but I found this video on F_W and it amused me so much I thought I'd share it. :D



Poor Iron Man. ^_^;

Is it bad that now I actually want to go see the movies? Heh.

Went out and helped set up the garage sale, hit up the building store for some wire, and then went down to the St. Clair post office to get my box o' doujinshi, since I did indeed miss the delivery yesterday. *fails*

I had the box open before I left, clawing at the tape and tearing. *laughs* Doujinshi! Suikoden IV Troy-centric doujinshi! One Troy book, one Sigurd/Hervey, and one everyone!gagbook which is full of wonderful wrongness. Also a Twin Signal postcard book. I fear I'll have to scan every page of everything!

A few days late, I am enjoying Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog. I worked with a dashing, sexy mad scientist once... (Truth!)

So Holo goes online, after a long, long day-- she barely used the internet save for in the morning and now, and she asks:

"What am I doing here?"

And then she remembers her fanfics...

Lol.

Dude, I'll most likely be taking calculus this fall. I'm both scared yet excited XD What. the hell.

And, I'll probably not have pharmacy as my major-- 'cause Miso's right. I don't wanna do something I hate.

Yoinked from [info]hiza_chan, because I'm working on something in Notepad and am feelin' memeish. (And it's cooled off a little in here - but just a little.)

Give me a fandom and I'll fill out the following shipping-related questions for it:

One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
"When all is said and done" Ship:


[info]tainry, does this box wait for my birthday? *shakes it gently*

[info]gardensgnome... ♥♥♥ MISSYOU!
