I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am resenting the amount of real work I am having to get through today, like troublesome invoices that require calling vendors for fixes and whatnot. grr.

ION - I am eating some leftovers.

We're having waffles at Chez Zmayhem this morning. The house smells like vanilla and zest and maple.

And I'm listening to Vince Guaraldi (though not Charlie Brown Christmas - not yet).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just discovered that Taylor Lautner is 17. Which means his pictures come down. I'm trying to keep it over 18. Though some of my Ackles pictures may be on the edge. But I'm trying.

Anyway. That wasn't the question. Do you watch many shows I don't? There are good-looking guys on Brothers & Sisters and Ugly Betty and Glee that I never bump into on my normal forays.

It strikes me that I have very little: Adrian Pasdar, Aldis Hodge, Ben Browder, Christian Kane, Tim Hutton, Beth Riesgraf, Gina Bellman, Eddie Izzard, Henry Simmons, Jack Davenport, Jason Momoa, Jared Padalecki, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jesse L Martin, Jimmy Smits, Lee Pace, Lou Diamond Philips, Marc Blucas, Mark Dacascos, Garret Dillahunt, Venus Williams, Zachary Levi, Zoe Saldana.

Ignore as you will! And anyone else you come across, especially grey-haired or male in a skirtlike apparatus is very highly prized.

Ah. The music is gone.

Hmmph. The music is back.

But I just learnt a new thing from the wikipedia front page! Arabic for sunset is mahgrib. What I already knew is that Morocco in Arabic is Mahgreb, because it is the furthest west of the Arabic countries. Cool beans.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can send you some Glee. I already sent you some Gossip Girls, and I can send more. (but not the actress that plays Jenny, because I think she is under 18.)

Will also work on the list.

Thanks! That's who those were? I am so out of the Gossip Girl loop, despite having tried a couple episodes early on. Never took. Do you partake regularly?

Leighton, Yes. I will send the boys next.

I watch it sporadically, but not very seriously.

I did read that the much-hyped much-objected-to threesome was a big letdown. Hmmph.

Which reminds me, tangentially, CBS doesn't have any major gay characters, do they? I don't think that any of the shows on that network I watch have any gay regulars at all. ABC has gay characters on Grey's and Brothers and Sisters that I know of, and NBC has a gay character on L&O:SVU. Are there any other high profile homosexual characters I'm missing out on? Does CBS really stick out? I did read the showrunner for Criminal Minds says that they don't know if Emily Prentiss is straight (I'm not sure how to tag that, but it's not really a spoiler, just an open-ended question) but that's the most I can remember seeing. And it's hella coy.

It was. However, one of the other actors (Chace Crawford) seems to have taken a page from the young Jensen Ackles' playbook. [link]

Oh, dear! That's the same picture! And though Jensen does look very cute in his, it's hardly his finest moment. Still, he has worse.
