Okay Clay Aiken. Okay. Now can you please go back to Broadway and be happy or something?

Other news in gay:
-There is no gay in Quantum of Solace unless those swim-shorts make a reappearance.
-Lance Bass is clearly the weakest link when it comes to N'Sync's dancing abilities but for DWTS he's doing pretty well. His dance partner is going to get him kicked off though.
-In a recent article entitled 'What I Know About Men' Barrowman said, "I would love to lecture to women on men. I'd tell them everything about men: gay, straight, bi, how we're all the same, how we're all bastards."
I agree John. I agree. Although I could have gone longer without reading the phrase, "nothing beats a foreskin."

Also, I was very amused to find Supernatural on AfterElton's Fall Gay TV schedule.

Okay so I'm behind on news as well as your lives. Sue me.

The new bridge in Sturgeon Bay is open. I'm thinking of this now because Jackson Brown is on my TV right now talking about how he's sueing John McCain. Jackson Brown (who currently owns and is converting the old hotel four blocks from my house into a recording studio) preforms at the utterly ridiculus 'Steelbridge Songfest' every year to save the old downtown bridge. The old bridge which is now shut down, hopefully for good. There's been a five ton weight limit for the past few months so it wouldn't fall into the bay. Anyways, the new bridge is large, pretty, very high-tech (I got to tour the gatehouse), and is going to seriously mess up traffic in a town built entirely around the old bridge. The old bridge we couldn' t tear down to build a new one because of the movement to save it and the 'Steelbridge Songfest' with Jackson Brown. The same bridge that is now sitting erect and useless for at least the next six months.

( Yes, I would like to take a moment to talk to you about Heroes. Seriously. )

I couldn't choose!

Dean: "Ooo that fabric softener teddy bear... I'm gonna hunt that little bitch down."

Dean: "It's like we got a contract on us. You think it's 'cause we're so awesome? I think it's 'cause it's we're so awesome."

Dean: "Your half-caf, double vanilla latte is getting cold over here, Francis."

And one last one:

Sam: "Well, you are kind of butch. They probably think you're overcompensating."

I feel it’s time to return to you all, especially now that my computer is fixed. It turns out I had a loose hard drive… which is the most ridiculous problem I’ve ever heard of. Two of the fours screws that hold my hard drive in place magically disappeared. Every time my computer was jostled or moved the wrong way the hard drive would disconnect itself. And then my dvd drive burned out and had to be replaced. And then an entire bottle of mocha coffee creamer broke inside my computer bag. That didn’t actually destroy anything but my laptop is now chocolate scented and if I leave it in reach my dog will start licking it.

Other things to happen to me:
-I owe the Canadian government $7.50 for driving on their tollways.
-I owe the state of Wisconsin $160 for speeding.
-I owe certain people so many buckets of puppies that I need to buy them a farm as well.
-I have a new phone number which I will send to anyone that wants it.
-I have been watching America’s Got Talent simply because a kid from Door County made it to the top ten.
-I was caught downloading the True Blood pilot and told to delete the file. However, in the process I learned what HBO stands for so it was an even trade.
-I spoke to krazykipper on the phone, which was nice.
-I have discovered that Amanda is a terrible influence on me rather than the other way around and she is now my souper seekrit comrade in evil slashy crime.

As those of you who have spoken me know I am still fantastically busy but I’m going to make an attempt to stick around this time. 'Why now?' you may be asking. Was it for the new season of Supernatural? Was it because Jared and Jensen are living together? Was it because I missed all of you terribly? Why yes, yes it was. That... and Torchwood.


( Of 'Lost Souls' and so on  )

This is a public service announcement:
My friends, a new epidemic has been plaguing our nation. Yes, I’m talking about the startling new trend of Twilighters physically assaulting those who are not dazzled. I hate Twilight; that is no secret. I respect your right to enjoy the books just as you respect my right not to. But fair warning to you all: if you get in my face, I will put you down. Believe it. *snaps and struts away*

I have not been doing so well lately. Stress from work, getting ready to move, and going back to school has really built up. Add to that hormones and complete physical and emotional exhaustion and I turned into a time bomb. I had a breakdown yesterday. My computer, the means by which everything on my insanely long to-do list must get done, went 'poof' and refused to boot and that was the last straw. Less would have triggered it I'm sure but when somethings goes wrong, I go all out.

I never made it anywhere near work today; I'm already told them I'm not coming tomorrow. Hopefully I can get my head back on straight by Wednesday when I have to go in to train my replacement.

I'll keep you posted.

Damn you Whedon...


you only had 45 minutes!!

1)Dear Gareth,
Do not post online that you would like for people to buy you pink hot pants and then chuck them at you. Because some people (like me) will find this incredibly amusing but then start to wonder where to buy pink hot pants and how much they cost. And then some people (like me) will start researching pink hot pants online causing their co-workers to look at them funny. And some people (NOT me) will go as far as to purchase said hot pants and bring them along when they meet you. And come the day of your next gig, some people (really, NOT me) will throw said hot pants on stage. Then you’ll be the proud owner of thirty or so pairs of man-sized hot pants and have to give them to John for Christmas absolutely nothing to do with them.

Love and Kisses,
Beth

2)SO yes, I've returned from my grand Canadian adventure. In fact, I was so busy getting ready for said adventure that I never told some of you that I left. So I have left for and returned from my grand Canadian adventure. I'm working on a detailed post (which I need photos for, ahem) because damn. That was probably the best weekend I've ever had. Besides all the times I ran into or talked to Gareth (once while I was in my pajamas) and seeing John up close (so pretty) it was just a fantastically fun weekend. This marks the end of my super busy couple of weeks which means that I will actually make it back online now a days. Thanks for sticking with me even though I was a horrible friend to all of you.

3) My sister on why she just can't get into Torchwood:

I mean Jack is such a stupid face sometimes. Why did he let that lady on the team? She’s so stupid and I hate her. I hate her every episode. She can’t even kick people in the face. She like, ‘Oh no! It’s a thing, what do I- ahhh!’ She can’t kick them in the face! She’s like, ‘I’ll just kick them in the shin, maybe that will work.’ Where as Ianto is like, ‘Wa-Bam! I make the coffee and kick the ass!’

4) Hello new people! If added everyone who added me in the few days. Although I'm not going to lie, I'm confused about exactly which of you is which. If those who don't have their name in their profile want to give me a hint, it would save me some embarrassment.

I really don't have time to post (much detail later) and I'm still a little drunk (Canadian Molson is awesome) but I totally just spent my entire weekend playing liaison/messenger between Gareth and John. I'm not kidding. I'm not exaggerating either. Their future social plans are all thanks to me and my friends. I just passed Gareth a verbal message from John about ten minutes ago and was completely cool about it. That may or may not be because of the beer.

(From a random youtube video)
Dalek: We have kidnapped the human companion, Donna. You will surrender.
Doctor: No.
Dalek: Come on, don’t you want her back?
Doctor: ...
Doctor: Nah.
Dalek: Crap.
Other Dalek: I told you this was a rubbish idea!

Oh no. Really, I don’t care what the hell you do to the Doctor, but you step up off my man. (A BBC news vid about keeping today's episode a secret. But there is a short clip of Jack that makes me want to scream, cry, and throw things.)

Real update and comments later I promise but for now...

A Doctor Who Death Poll!
-I listed every character I could think of, regardless if they will appear. They could still die via offhanded comment and it allows spoilerphobes to participate.
-Interpret the Doctor's death as you will. Regeneration into a new Doctor, repairing Ten's body, or something else entirely.
-Any death of Jack's will do. I left him on as a gimmie.

( Cut to save your flist )

Deleted scene from 'Meat'. I have been waiting all weekend for someone to post that (although now that I've seen it, I admit it is massively awkward).

I just got back from WinMid in Chicago, it's 2am, I do have to work all day tomorrow and my life is completely awesome. Expect feeble attempts to catch up on comments in the near future.

*hugs entire flist*

Clip.

*dies*


(Because I found one people outside the UK could watch!)

1) Major Boo. And an epic fail to O'Reilly too. At least there's one good thing to come out of this; John is now officially the Gay Poster Boy.



2) I just bought things I shouldn't have. I have a feeling this will only get worse in the next few weeks (Face of Boe figure, some day you will be mine!).

3) Come on CBC! Tell me I have tickets already or I will reach through the internet and smack you in the face. That or send you incessant e-mails, whichever.

4) How the hell is it WinchestMidwest weekend already? I leave Thursday and I still have way too much to get done before then. Here's hoping the next few hours are majorly productive ones. Oh and Amanda? We are going to the comic book store. Or at the very least I am going to the comic book store. Be very afraid.

5) Kip Kip, Kip Kip Kip Kip! Hi.

( Dude. )

After watching it a thousand times, I screencapped the preview and posted. Over here! (Spoilery for sure)


(Squee filled discussion now? I accept unintelligible phone calls!)

And you have to put up with my comments now too!

...

( 53 images and much WTF )

Most of you non-spoilerphobes who have been keeping up should already know, but I still want a chance to squee!
( Spoilers but not about plot )

Am I one of the last to see this or one of the first? I'm so out of the loop...

So I'm one of the last, but who cares! It's pretty!

( Season Three DVD Cover )

There has not been anywhere near enough Barrowman around lately. That must change.

Panto Publicity! I would kill to see John as Robin Hood. But seeing as how I don’t foresee a visit from the international flight fairy anytime soon, I guess I’ll have to settle for these.


I have a bit of a boot fetish and John is not helping.

( He just can’t handle that robot. )

Hot 100 2008 Seriously, I spend way too much time on AfterElton for a straight woman. But they have all the news I care about! I couldn’t be happier that four out of the top five are actually gay. Last year there were three gay men on the list total. But who cares? Let’s get to the rankings:
John; 2nd (last year; 10th)
Neil Patrick; 5th (last year; 53rd)
Gale; 6th (last year; 4th)
Gareth; 11th
Jensen; 13th (last year; 35th)
Jail-Bait Zefron; 24th
James Marsden; 30th
Tennant; 33rd
Boreanaz; 42nd (last year; 30th)
Jared; 43rd (last year; 37th)
Jason Statham; 78th (last year; 40th)
Peter Paige; 93rd (last year; 86th)

Is it just me, or it it completely hilarious that Jensen made the top 15 and Jared dropped like a rock?

Only five episodes of Torchwood? ( Here’s why I’m not freaking out. )

We're still two co-workers down, my bosses are leaving for the weekend, and (because I am insane) I'm still going to drive down for Angie's grad party. So if you're wondering where I've gone, now you know.

( Plot for Torchwood novel #9; Almost Perfect )

Torchwood: making every cracky slash cliché canon since 2006. If Ianto ever sprouts wings I will be entirely ruined for other shows.

(Of course, this means I must buy it immediately.)

1) Dear Idiot Guests,
It’s Saturday, your water heater broke, I am not a plumber, I can’t get it replaced until Monday, I moved you to a bigger/nicer/$300 per night room for no charge and there’s nothing else I can do. Kindly shut the fuck up already.
Sincerely,
Beth

2) I talked to positivelyb on the phone yesterday! I was kind of exhausted and wasn’t my usual chatterbox self (in fact I think I bored her) but it was still nice.

3)I’m still not caught up on comments, but I just want you to know I love you.

4) Hi trileaderroses!! I took me a few days to figure out who you are but I’m looking forward to meeting you at Winchest!

5)( I watched P.S. I Love You )

6) I’m going to a high school grad party today. I haven’t spoken to this girl in two years but we used to be good buds so I’m feeling obligated. It’s going to be massively awkward though, especially because I have no back-up. I’m hoping I can slip in, say congrats, and slip out unrecognized by any of the other guests. Maybe I’ll force a friend to take me to Iron Man again afterwards.

ETA2: There's an impromptu wedding happening right in front of me! The bride who is staying at the resort called down a few minutes ago. She's throwing up and has a massive migraine but she's 'damn well getting married today!' She asked if she could use the library or sun room for the ceremony so she didn't have to travel. How could I refuse?

Boss: We're going to start advertising on Fox 11.
Me: That's pretty cool, we'll be on tv!
Boss: They're going to come up and film parts of the property, one of the rooms, and the water and then put it together for us.
Me: Neat!
Boss: We need someone to write up something about us.
Me: Okay....
Boss. So when they get here tomorrow...
Me: Tomorrow!?!
Boss: You can just leave it on my desk and I'll get it to the right people in the morning.
Me: What-
Boss: Have a good night!

So much for getting caught up on payroll tonight. What if I make us sound like total idiots and no one wants to stay here ever again? At least now I can add 'wrote copy for a local commercial' right next to 'had ad published in regional magazine' to my bullshit resume of strange coincidences.
