So Tania and I finally watched the two-parter of Doctor Who, and this was our immediate reaction to certain parts.

Please watch this before you click the cut, it will explain a lot.

( The Big Bang )

So I just went and saw Mumford and Sons live at this tiny venue across from the Lemp Brewery in St. Louis.

It was epic, it was transcendental, it was a shitload of fun and they rocked the house. I could've reached out and grabbed Marcus Mumford's knee if I wanted to, but I was too busy stomping my feet and slamming my hands on the stage.

You know, I've never actively wanted to lick the sweat off of someone until tonight. They were that amazing.

So, here's the thing: I'm a pretty avid crocheter. Crocheting puts me in my zen place, just the repetitive motion of hook into stitch, pull up a loop until hey, a blanket! Or scarf! Or hat!

So if you guys need anything handmade, and don't already have someone in your life to do it for you, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Also, I'll be putting a few things up for sale here in the next week or so.

I should be cleaning my room. I should not be sitting here putzing around trying to make a SPN fanmix entirely out of Nine Inch Nails songs.

To be fair, I have cleaned a good amount. All my clothes are put in their respective places and I've lugged my old dvd player and speakers and my old computer monitor down to the basement ("Dad, we need to put some of this on craigslist." "I don't want to sell it, it still works!") plus the trash and recyclables have been taken out. So...yeah, I'm taking it slow, and then there'll be a rush of cleaning the night before my relatives get here next week.

( My thoughts on SPN 5x16, let me show you them )

Tania and I went to go see Clash of the Titans, and although it vaguely resembles the myth or the beloved movie of my childhood, we were highly entertained and ogled Sam Worthington's legs and Liam Neeson's shiny armor and Mads Mikkelson's legs. Mads Mikkelson has some sexy legs, man.

Saw previews for both Robin Hood and The Expendables (hey, have you heard of my garage band, Robin Hood and the Expendables?) and while they didn't look like anything spectacular I will have to go see them both because Robin Hood has Mark Strong and Matthew Macfayden as awesome bad guys, plus it looks like Scott Grimes gets to be badass, and The Expendables has every action star of the past 20 years and looks like it has things exploding every five minutes. I was also amused by the fact that, in Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Little John and Will Scarlet are played by Russell Crowe, Kevin Durand and Scott Grimes respectively, and three of the main hockey players in Mystery, Alaska were played by Russell Crowe, Kevin Durand, and Scott Grimes.

You know what does look spectacular? The Losers. But that may just be my ridiculous crushes on JDM and Zoe Saldana talking.

I guess no one watches the same movies I do?

So I have been introducing Tania to the awesomeness that is Band of Brothers because she'd only seen about 10 minutes of the first episode, and I needed to expand on the three main points of

1) War is hell
2) Winters and Nixon love each other very much
3) George Luz is awesome.

( And then the question I had everytime I watched a Trickster episode of Supernatural, 'Where have I seen that dude before?' , was answered. )

Speaking of Band of Brothers, I'm really liking The Pacific so far. I know it's only two episodes in and I've yet to make up my mind about whether or not it's on par with Band of Brothers, but so far, so good. Also, with the amount of times I've seen Jurassic Park and Radio Flyer, my brain still has trouble realizing that Joe Mazzello grew up.

I really haven't posted anything since October? Jesus.

I mean, it's not like a lot is going on. I help take care of my sisters' kids during their workday, play video games, read, and just generally don't contribute to society in any meaningful fashion. I got a wrong text from some dude telling me he left the money at Cecil's house, and sorry it was so late, he'd been busy. I texted him back "Don't worry, all is in accordance with the prophecy."

Today my sister bounded upstairs from the basement office and told us all that we needed to go back to to Disneyland, because OMG THEY BROUGHT BACK CAPTAIN EO. Then had to explain Captain EO to Tania and how Angelica Houston as the Evil Prototype Borg Queen is scarred into my brain forever and Michael Jackson saves the day because he's the goddamn captain.

So dynamicsymmetry had this thing on her journal. I shamelessly steal, because I like these things.
