A Twist of Things to Come

First, a big Yee-HA! to hominysnark, for sending out queries! My insides knot up at the thought of doing it myself, and I'm incredibly proud of you. Silvertongue rocks!

And another Yee-HA! to amy34, for writing a query letter she doesn't hate. Maybe today you'll turn it into one you love. ;) You and I both know you can do it.

Watched Eastern Promises last night with the hubby, who was not expecting the naked fight scene. I really thought he'd seen the article about the history of naked fight scenes in A-list movies, printed about the time this movie was hitting theaters. There is definitely something about men fighting naked. It just seems extra vulnerable and desperate, especially against clothed opponents with knives. I'm just sayin'.

Viggo Mortensen. I don't know what it is about the man, but NGH! He's not the pretty boy type that usually pushes my buttons, nor is he fit fodder for my latent Electra complex. But Ooo-Eee.

Stupid Viggo, knocking me out of my comfortable patterns of fannish lust.

Bumped my ankle bone on a chair yesterday morning, and then hit the other side of the same ankle while limping around in the aftermath, trying not to curse. The pain faded and I was fine. Until last night and this morning. It hurts to put my weight on it now. Stupid ankle bones...

I'm down to the last hundred pages or so of Traitor's Moon, and I'm dawdling. I don't want it to end, plus it's a whole two months until I can get the next one. I suppose I'll fill the void with the Tamir Trilogy. Stupid Lynn Flewelling and her stupid, addictive characters! *grumble* I loves them so! *sniffle*

Laugh-out-loud word of the day: Manrammer. Spammers have somehow gotten the impression I am a gay man, informing me of helpful ways to give me a prodigious manrammer. O_O Thinking quickly, I turned my head so as not to do a spit-take all over my new laptop. Manrammer. Bwahahahahahah-snort-hahahahahaha! And I though pornographic euphemisms had reached the pinnacle of Funny with "glistening sausage" and "pulsating cavern." Boy, was I wrong.

Speaking of homo-eroticism... I offer the following video link (they have disabled embedding for this video):

It's the official video for Ben Folds Five's "Kate" a song I absolutely love for it's energy, among other things. It's basically the vocalists snuggled up in bed together, lip syncing a song about a girl they want to be. It's odd, but safe for work if watching videos is okay at your place of employment. It has a litle of what malkatsheva calls "mantitty." I find it strangely compelling. O_o
