(no subject)

I have come almost full circle with my iPods. First, I had a pink 4g Mini (aka Toby), then an 8g black Nano (Patrick Smith Walker), then an 8g Touch (Patrick Smith Walker II), and now I'm back to a 2g black Shuffle. (Uh, I'm not counting my iPhone, but anyway.) Basically this all comes out of necessity for my running; the Touch is super bulky for running, imo, as is the iPhone. But now my little Shuffle (Patrick Smith Walker III) has a brand new playlist, and the controls on the earbuds are pretty nifty. I never would've thought I'd be all \o/ over a Shuffle, but there you go!


I wish I could write Harlequin AUs more easily in Holmes fandom. It's not quite the same to wander through the romance section of Barnes & Noble and see His Virgin Mistress and NOT automatically think, "oh god, I could totally write that." Bandom, you spoiled me. (I could TOTALLY write a Jon/Spencer virgin mistress AU, though, omg. Although I'm pretty sure I've written that in chat with either [livejournal.com profile] lyo or [livejournal.com profile] siryn99 at least a dozen times. /o\)


I love Tumblr soooooo much, because it reminds me of things I'd forgotten about, like RDJ lip-syncing to Elton John's "I Want Love":



This video came out in 2001, right after he was released from prison. I remember watching it when it first aired and thinking, "Wow, this almost hurts to watch," and now I am pretty much a teary mess at the end. If you love this man, I DARE you to watch this and not cry even just a little, especially at around 2:30 and on.


Hopefully I'll hear back about my interview tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

One of the things I love most about Tumblr is that more often than not I manage to stumble across something that I haven't thought about for years that makes me go "OMG, I remember that!" with a big smile on my face. :D

Right? Ugh, Tumblr is so addicting, lol.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MIGHT BE REFERRING TO. *SHIFTY EYES*

EPIC STORY IS STILL EPIC.

God, I love that video the most of anything ever. It's just. OH MAN. You know what I mean. ♥

Bandom has spoiled me in soooo many ways. Sometimes I think to myself, "Yeah, I could totally write a historical dystopian society White Collar AU and that would totally work." And then I think about it for about six hours before deciding that no, no it would not. BANDOM. :/

Crossing my fingers for you, too!

THIS. I spent a good ten minutes trying to convince myself that Watson could be a spoiled playboy duke and Holmes his snarky virgin mistress. SADLY, I DON'T THINK I COULD PULL THIS OFF. :|

Off topic: At work this morning, I logged in a book called "Holmes on Homes", which naturally, I read as "Holmes on Holmes". Which of course, naturally led to me think of you. And to think, I think I saw a porno like this once (with time travel!).

But I don't know. Sketchy with a heart of gold carpenter/house builder guy Holmes and Watson the long-suffering but incredibly busy and therefore unable to do his own house-building/fix its doctor? I'd read it.

1. Awwwwwwww <3333

2. I WOULD TOTALLY READ THAT.

I believe the shuffles are the ones that are compatible with headband like ear buds, so you don't even need to clip/strap it to your person.

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks!
