Holiday Music Exchange

So I've talked to a few people and have decided that seeing as no one has stepped forward to say anything definitive about the cd exchange this year I'd offer a suggestion. I thought since people have busy schedules and/or are out of the country I'd offer up a post in which people can post their mixes from wherever they are, whenever they want and however many they want. All you have to do is upload your mix to a hosting site and link to it in the comments. You can also email your mix to me if that's easier and I'll upload it here. The post is dated for the end of January so it'll be at the top of my lj so it'll be easy to find.

This is an open offer to anyone who wishes to participate. I ask that if you're taking a mix to comment and/or leave a mix of your own for others to enjoy. Mixes can be as short or as long as you like and cover art, while not necessary, is a welcome bonus. Feel free to post this on your journals if you think anyone on your flist would like to participate. My goal is to gather as much fun and new music for everyone to enjoy. Every style of music is welcome.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please let me know.

I don't know how I feel about this

The teaser for Absolute Justice on Smallville:

It has Green Arrow, Doctor Fate, a Green Lantern, Hawkman, and Wesley Dodds rocking the gas mask as the Sandman (or at least I hope that's him in the mask).
I think I'm going to have to watch this if only to silently weep at the atrocity. It's written by Geoff Johns but I'm not sure if that's a comfort.

EDIT: It looks like the CW are in talks to adapt Global Frequency for tv. I hope they don't screw it up. The pilot for the first attempt was brilliant and that wasn't picked up so here's hoping everything will turn out well.

I looked on the internet and found this!

This is a really cool music video by Miles Fisher done as American Psycho. He looks and acts eerily like Christian Bale. Definitely NSFW (but you already know this because you've all seen the movie, right?)


Just be glad I didn't decide to share the one with two guys in bacon skirts fighting with their salami...

Wow, it's been a while hasn't it? I was going to have a lovely post about work sucks but I figured that nobody wants to hear that so I'm going to post about happy things instead:

Look at all the pretty Venetian masks. I especially like the plague doctor one.

So, some of you may know that Kevin McHale a.k.a. Artie from Glee was in a boy band called NLT (supposed to stand for Not Like Them). I was bored so I tracked down a few of their music videos. Links below because embedding has been disabled.

Reboot is getting, well, a reboot. I can't watch the teaser because I'm at work but from the comments it looks like it could be quite good.

It took me two attempts at entering the parking lot today at work. The first time my car decided to slide so far I nearly ended up on the grass on the other side of the entrance. The second time I came in from the parking lot across the street and managed not to slide too much. I find this all odd as I have weight in the back of my car and front wheel drive and therefore should be fine on the snow. Anyway, if you don't have to go out don't and if you do make sure you take plenty of time and go slow. I didn't see any sand trucks or snow plows out there this morning so it's very slippery.

My Thanksgiving weekend was spent on the couch watching tv and movies. Pathfinder was pretty good but they needed to lay off the filters so I could see what was happening on the screen. Pulp Fiction was a million hours of my life I will never get back. It was terrible and I usually like terrible movies. Sure it had it's moments, but more often than not I was cringing at something or other or bored out of my mind because it was way too long. I'm also slowly catching up on Criminal Minds. I watched a few more episodes of season 1. I find that it's a really good show but I need to go hug a cat or something after because it's so dark. Gideon's character is starting to get on my nerves. I know he leaves the show for some reason later on in the series but right now I want him to be less, I dunno, smug and self centered. Everyone else on the team are awesome.

Oh, so it's going to be of those days...

My head woke me up at 4:30 this morning because the weather changed suddenly and it doesn't like that. I tried to sleep but the cats kept finding reasons to purr in my ear and by the time I managed to find a position where everyone was happy and quiet my alarm went off.  Needless to say, I'll be on extra strength Tylenol until this clears up (hopefully soon because it's hard to work with people who sound like they're shouting but really aren't). At this moment I just want to curl up in a cool, dark place and not breathe for a few hours.

Also, I need a new car scraper. Once my work id card starts doing a better job than my actual scraper I think it's time for a new one.

want sleep, can't have any though

My soyjoy bar may be made of soy but it it brings me no joy. I ate one after realising that I didn't eat breakfast and thus was hungry. I tried the rasin almond one this time and while less vile than the berry one it still tasted of cardboard.

Having your sleep schedule thrown off sucks. It's like 6am didn't exist for a week and has now come back with a vengence. The gloomy weather isn't helping any either.

However, on the super awesome end of the scale, Senie is letting me take over her house for Halloween! This is very exciting as I haven't had a proper Halloween in years. I'm going to carve pumpkins and decorate and give out candy and it'll be wonderful.

Why isn't there any Double Dragon fic out there? I've found two and they were both terrible. I'm talking about the movie, not the game

Post a picture in my comments of what you think describes me when you think about what/who I am. No matter how surreal or plain.

Give no written explanation.

Just an image.

(Optional: Post this in your journal and see what images you get.)

I'm back from Seattle! It was so much fun. Portland was a blast as well even if we were wandering around the super shady part of the city. More details later when I feel like going through and remembering everything that happened and getting the few pictures I took off of my phone.

[info]narikalen you are about the only person I know that would care about this: Steve Carlson was on Eastwick and sang Like a Virgin! I had to watch the bit a couple of times just to be sure but it was him! I also googled it and there are pics of him on set. Also this show uses the set for Stars Hollow so the more I watch this show the more I want Gilmore Girls/Eastwick crossover fic. Oh! I now have Blind Dating on dvd because there was an awesome used video/music/game store in Seattle.

If, by some chance, today could I acquire an mp3 of Jeremy Clarson telling everybody in the world that they're idiots it would make my day. And if I could somehow play that on loop all day I would be the happiest person... in the world. However, I don't think this is going to happen and I shall have to make do without it.

So, tv things:
  • I missed the premiere of Eastwick last night. According to the internets it was pretty meh with a side order of Paul Gross being awesome so I'll be checking it out.
  • Looking at the premise for Flash Forward makes me want to avoid that show. It looks like Lost and the 4400 ran off and had a lovechild. So of course they got John Cho, Dominic Monaghan, Genevieve Cortese, and Jack Davenport to star in it. This means that I have to at least check it out now if only to see Genevieve in a role where I don't automatically hate her for not being Katie Cassidy.
  • SPN is on tonight! This episode looks fantastic. I probably won't be able to watch until tomorrow though and that sort of lessens the glee. I am watching the Vampire Diaries though so that'll be awesome. Stephan is trying out for the football team so that should be hilarious. Why I watch that show for anyone other than ian Somerhalder is beyond me. Perhaps it's because of my soft spot for faily brothers who angst.

You're telling me that they got Steven Moyer and David Boreanaz to present at the Emmys and then not once mention vampires? Such a waste.
