yendiHilary Duff has a song in which she says, "I'm living proof that the girl can rock."
That's like rain on your wedding day, y'know?
Elsewhere, I've finally gotten hooked on Kingdom of Loathing. Just what I need. Reminds me most of Upper Reaches of Apshai. Quite fun, so far. I did hit level three before running out of my turns yesterday and today.
Good news: The Mets got Mientkiewicz. Bad news: We don't get the BoSox ball in the deal. And we gave up Bladergroen, which I'm not happy about, both because he's hella talented, and because "Bladergroen" has all sorts of humor potential.
More Good News: Alton Brown is doing a Road Food Special!
TV: Still playing Tivo catch-up. But we watched Scrubs (guest-starring Colin Farrell), which, as always, was not just screamingly funny, but actually used its guest star wisely. And then we watched JLU, which had Bat Lash, El Diablo, and Jonah Hex! And Jonah even made references to his time travel adventures! Only Western character missing (of my favorites) was Cinnamon. And then the ending --![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadesong and I turned to each other and just went "Holy shit." Not spoiling it, but let's just say that I've never looked forward to an episode of JLU (or the old Justice League) more than I have with this coming Saturday's show.
And yeah, I know it's the "down the rabbit's bunghole" day or whatever. But it's also the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and of the Apollo 1 fire that killed Grissom, White, and Chafee. Sorry if I don't feel like turning my LJ into a pointlessly irreverent mess (um, more than usual, at least). Choosing July 4, which is a much more relevant date (being the publication date of the book, instead of the birthdate of the author) is, you know, a much more celebratory time, imntsfho.
