Here I Am

It's so nice outside today. It's warm, but not humid, with a nice breeze and I just love this sort of weather. I hate humidity. It is the devil.

**

I managed to finally see this past week's Entourage premiere.

( Spoilers for the episode... )

I still have to watch 4400, last week's Starter Wife, and that new HBO comedy that was on after Entourage. Sometimes I think I should give up my ABC soaps, but I just can't. Well, I'm down to two as All My Children lost me awhile ago, and if they recast Brenda, I might stop watching that (okay, not completely as I love Patrick and Robin).

**

Based on Lj's post on guidelines & goals, I'm definitely not getting a permanent account during the sale. I'm not at the point where I'm giving up livejournal, but at the same time, I don't quite trust them or completely understand how they are deciphering what is harmful content.

And while I have no problem with them stating, not on our servers, sorry, I do have a problem with not stating what is up and leaving customers unsure of how to proceed. Why would I buy something that isn't a right fit for me?

Supernatural Sam/Dean Fanfic Readers: The Angst Vs. Schmoop Olympics have begun over at spn_heraea. So go read and rate the stories. I'm reading, but as someone on one of the teams, I can't vote. So check it out. Angst AND schmoop! Dean/Sam! Does it get better than that?

**

I watched the finale of Entourage. I love Walsh, but not as much as I love my boys. And it's giving me even more ideas for Girl!Eric/Vince story. So iamtheenemy, I must ask, when they first met, did Walsh hit on girl!Eric? Hee.

And this is probably the best finale for the show because in two weeks the next season begins and *that* makes me so happy. I love those boys and this finale was laugh-out-loud funny at parts.

I also dvr'd Adrian Grenier's documentary on locating his father, but fifteen minutes into it, I'm not sure if it's my cup of tea. And my god, he looks so young! It's all Drive Me Crazy and Adventures of Sebastian Cole Adrian. YUM.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the terrible tragedy at Virginia Tech. I know from experience after 9/11 that nothing anyone says will make it better and it doesn't bring the person you loved back, and sometimes the cliches get annoying, so I'll spare you all that. Just know that I'm thinking of all of you.

**

Due to work projects and then medical stuff today, I haven't had the opportunity to squee about how awesome Entourage was on Sunday night.

( Spoilers for the episode... )

Tuesday Ten! And I'm doing it on Tuesday!

1. Regular doctor checkups or sporadic visits? Dude, I seem to live at my doctor between my sinuses, my constant falling and spraining things, and random bouts of sickness, I'm there a whole lot.

2. What’s getting the most airplay on your ipod/stereo/’puter at the moment? Robin Thicke's album. I'm madly in love, people. And it seems so wrong to love Mr. Seaver's real life son so much.

3. Fave typeface? Arial

4. Fave reality tv show? American Idol and Last Comic Standing are the only ones I watch.

5. What’s your LJ screen name all about? I decided to have a fannish journal separate from my personal when I started getting more and more involved in many fandoms...and I write stories, I'm a diva, and a girl. I'm also incredibly lame and unoriginal.

6. Funniest word you heard/used/read today? Spooged. And I used it.

7. Fave part of your job? (school if that’s where you are) I write an advice column on alternate modes of transportation.

8. Least fave part of your job? (school if that’s where you are) All the medicaid stuff, especially since all the new rules, just makes my job SO much harder with all the reading and trying to comprehending of these things so when employees ask, I can explain.

9. Do you like horror movies? I love horror movies. I especially love cheesy horror movies of the eighties. They are my favorite!

10. How hot IS Balthazar Getty? So hot! I loved him when I was fifteen and he was in Young Guns 2, and then he went through an unfortunate phase and got puffy, but when he was on Alias, he got hot again. Like so hot. And he's still hot on Brothers and Sisters. In fact, Tommy Walker and Dean Winchester should have a conversation about being ridiculously goodlooking older brothers.

**

Now I shall try to catch up on over two days of friends list. This may not happen, especially since I will have to stop for American Idol...even if I am scared of country night and what the contestants might do.

It's a Saturday night, my life is boring due to health issues, and the boy just left to spend Easter with his parents. Good times. At least tomorrow I get to go see Grindhouse. I can't wait to see this movie. I've been counting down the days and it's finally here. Good times to be had. Of course, my coworkers all looked at me like I was nuts that I was excited about this movie. It's like they don't know me at all. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez really have fun with directing and that makes for more enjoyable movies. And I love both of their stuff like whoa for the most part (not a fan of Sin City or Jackie Brown). I wonder if I should pull out my dvds of their movies and do a little prep marathon tonight.

No, I should write. You'd think I'd use my boredom from being sick/stuck in bed/unable to do anything to get some of my many projects done, but I just have no energy and am feeling slightly apathetic.

**

I ended up picking up Entourage season three, part 1 at Target today. I went into the devil store for body wash and walked out with the dvds. I was trying to be good and wait a bit, but really, I am human and Vincent Chase is hot.

Tomorrow night new episodes! Tomorrow is looking to be a really good day! First I get to see Grindhouse and then Entourage premieres with new episodes. And then I have off on Monday! Woo-hoo!

I'm interested to see how things proceed with Ari after the finale of part one of the season. And just to have them back. I can watch those episodes over and over and over and never tire of it.

And did anyone else see the boys on ellen yesterday? They were only on briefly and not a whole lot was revealed, but it was still so cute.

**

Alrighty, I'm going to grab some dinner and then I'm going to write. I will not pull out my Tarantino & Rodriguez movies. I will not overdose on Entourage. I'm going to write. Even if it's just those 200 words I need to get done.

Ciao darlings!

Where the heck did this day go so fast? And it's not even eight pm and I'm so damn tired. Stupid weather and sinuses.

I started watching Entourage season two dvds again. Good god, this show is crack. I'm like, "I'll just watch one episode while I defrost" and next thing I know I'm through disc one and ready to start the next one. If Vince wasn't totally in love with Eric, I'd totally try to marry the boy.

Much love to amy_star_ for the virtual chocolates. i lova ya, hon, and they totally made me smile today. Thank you so much!

So I thought "lazy" was my favorite mood, but this one...yeah, I don't think Dean's sleeping down there.

Dear fanfiction writers,

For the love of God, "lose" and "loose" are very different words. Dean would not be upset if he looses Sam. I'm not even sure what that means. The word is lose. One "O" - now if you wanted to say "Dean decided to loosen the ropes pinning Sam to the bed" that would work.

No love,

Tommygirl

My sister and I rented the first two discs of Prison Break to get ready for Monday night and new episodes. I may or may not have also rented "She's the Man" with Amanda Bynes because I'm a dork.

**

Am highly depressed that there are only two more episodes of Entourage for the season. I think this means y'all should write me some fic. I think there should be some Jensen Ackles/Vincent Chase fic out there. (My birthday is in 10 days, wink, wink. Hee.)

**

Off to do some writing until my sister and I start watching PB. So very behind.

Monday mornings are never my favorite, especially when allergies are running amuck. Weekend was okay, not nearly long enough, though I can't recall doing anything aside from watching movies, television, and first season of NCIS.

I've still got to write my CW Kinks/Cliches story this week. It's been awhile since I've written the Jsquared and I'm in the mood for some. I mean, does one ever tire of Jensen and Jared making out? I don't think so. And those boys have made me much more brazen with the porn in my writing. I used to be a total tease with it, okay, still am to an extent, but not as much as I used to be.

Also need to write my SPN State story.

Needless to say there is writing to be done. And I'm not in the mood to do it.

**

Entourage continues to rock my socks, but I'm hardly impartial when it comes to this show. I love it so much. Really people, if you're not watching it, I just can't help you. Because it's that good and awesome and it has Ari and Vince and E and Drama and Turtle.

I haven't seen this week's 4400 yet, so I can't comment on that. But I can't wait to see how Tom, Diana, and the rest of NTAC prove their idiocy this week. Don't get me wrong. Love them dearly, but they have some serious intelligence issues when it comes to investigating. Like my six-year-old little bit could do a better job of running things.

The roommates and I also spent a whole lot of the weekend engrossed in the History Channel's Mega Disasters Marathon. I am now paranoid that one of the following will kill me dead some time soon: super volcano, east coast tsunami, east coast earth quake, or asteroid. These people on this show are the feel good types that everyone wants to be around. Must get them for parties.

"Hey Bob, what's up?"

::Sighs:: "Today I realized that the Yosemite Supervolcano tends to erupt in a 600,000 year cycle and guess what? We're on year 599,999. We're fucking doomed."

"Good to know. Look it's Mike. Better go greet him." ::runs off::

Did not stay up for the premiere of Justin's video on MTV at eleven pm last night. Have to admit that I'm oddly curious to see the video that goes with this song. The song has grown on me, like fungus, and I can't decide if Justin had a moment of brilliance when writing this song or lost his cotton-picking mind.

Based on interviews I've seen going around, I'm going with the latter.

This does remind me that I need to finish Trouble In My Head before I find myself hating the boy and unable to write anything happy for him. And that would make Steph mad. And she would hurt me. And that would be sad for me.

**

In other news I'm having these ongoing dreams lately where I'm an incredible angerball. Even beyond incredible angerball. Like so irrationally angry that in my dream, I'm telling myself, "Dude, what the fuck are you doing? That's a bit of an overreaction to someone borrowing your pen without asking."

I do think it has a bit to do with my roommate situation because I'm so not the type to get pissed off about stupid stuff. I'm much more laid back about things...well, apparently not in my dreams where I start these huge ass fights with people over a freaking pen. How weird?

**

God, I'm boring. I think I need to do some writing to do some writing because at least characters are interesting.

So I'll end this with some pimpage:

-On the Road, a Supernatural Gen Zine is seeking submissions.

-moviefanfiction is open for all those who enjoy movie fanfiction. So check it out. There needs to be more good movie fic to keep me from crying over at fanfiction.net. And it's all about me, people.

-Swashbuckle-a-thon is open for fandom nominations currently and sign-ups begin on August 3rd. C'mon...who doesn't want to see Sam & Dean as pirates?

-The Norrington Ficathon is being run by sarkastic, with sign-ups until July 30th. Pretty Norrington needs some love. So go sign up.

**

So now I shall go do some work and wish away the rest of this work day.

Ciao.

So my evil best friend has gotten me hooked on Project Runway. I accomplished nothing all weekend aside from viewing Pirates of the Caribbean and Superman Returns with the family except for Project Runway ingestion.

I must say that I was quite happy with how it turned out. I loved Daniel and Chloe. They were my favorites, so yay for that.

The show was like crack, people. Santino's Andre/Tim stories, Andre's lack of a filter in his brain to stop him from saying certain things, the drama...it's crack.

Damn my best friend for knowing my weaknesses. She's an evil one. She calls it payback for Wonderfalls, but honestly, did I need more television in my life?

**

Let's talk other television:

( spoilers for last night's 4400... )

( Entourage owns my soul... )

**

Not much else to report. Regular life is giving me headaches at the moment and work is crazy and fandom has taken a backseat. I'm doing my best to reclaim my own space and stuff (very long stories), but it might be a little bit longer before I'm churning out anything decent to read.

well, aside from my Multiverse story, which I'm terribly worried about at the moment because it's very rough and it's for a writer that I really like and I don't want the story to suck. Fingers crossed that I get it all together (with iamtheenemy and ladybug218's help, of course - though they're just learning of this now. hee).

Off to catch up on friends list.

Ciao amigos!

Hey y'all...just a quick update to assure everyone that I'm alive and kicking. Been incredibly busy and therefore am way behind on friends list. So if there is anything I need to know or really good fic that I'd miss, hook a sister up. Otherwise, I apologize for not responding to comments or reading. Bad Tommy, bad!

Hopefully after this week and the completion of the wip_it_good competition, I shall be available once again. At least, I'm hoping.

In the meantime, I shall leave you with a huge squee about how much I love Entourage and, if you're not watching it, why is that? And don't forget, my fabulous American friends, that Sci Fi is showing Firefly every Friday night to lead up to the movie!

Okay, off to attempt to read as much of the friends list as I can before getting pulled back to tons of work.

Love you all and ciao!
