eee1313My head is spinny today. I think it's because normally I have the blinds open next to my desk, and I can turn my head and look outside. But this morning it was too bright, so I closed said blinds and I think that caused tunnel vision because the only thing I've looked at is my monitor, and in turn the tunnel vision has caused the spinny-head syndrome. Oh well.
Today is the start of the Wilton Tent Sale. Several of my coworkers were going to drive up there after work and try to buy stuff, and I was like "I'm going to it on my way home, so I'll try to buy you your stuff before it sells out." (I pass the tent sale on the way home from work, as it's right down the street from me.) One of my coworkers runs a catering business on the side, and she needs lots of melting chocolate for her desserts. But every time she's gone there a few days after the sale starts, it's always sold out. Hopefully I can snag her some before it's all gone. In the meantime, I'm going to cry if I can't get my duckie cake pan and make myself a devil duck cake.
In other news, there's that thing going around where people list their favorite couples/'ships from TV. I'm having a hard time thinking of ten good ones for me. Instead, I'm mixing it up a bit. I'm listing my favorite couples, my least favorite couples, and the totally messed-up couples who make your skin crawl and yet you can't help enjoying. In no particular order...
The Good
1. Zoe/Wash (Firefly) Oh, how I love these two. It's an actual, happy married couple on TV who communicates and loves one another and fights and has hot sex. They're so awesome.
2. Jake/Diane (Jake 2.0) Geek love!
3. Charlotte/Harry (Sex and the City) I don't know what it is about these two, but I just love them. When Harry broke up with Charlotte, I was shocked. When she begged for him to come back and he proposed, I cried. They're just so damn cute and happy.
4. Kaylee/Simon (Firefly) A hotly debated 'ship, but one I love.
5. Barney/Robin (HIMYM) BroTP!!! Seriously, these two are meant for each other.
6. Lacy/The Middleman (The Middleman) Too sweet. But we never got any conclusion! Hopefully the finale comic will settle things.
7. Meghan/Sean (Felicity) Talk about opposites attracting. Plus, there's the one-two punch of Greg Grunberg and Amanda Foreman, and it just doesn't get any better than that. Screw the Felicity/Noel/Ben triangle, just give me Meghan and Sean, with some Javier thrown in for fun.
8. Xander/Cordelia (Buffy) Talk about your love/hate relationship! They did good things to each other's personalities. Too bad it didn't last.
9. Clark/Chloe (Smallville) Mind you, I stopped watching SV several seasons ago, so take this with a grain of salt. However, early on Clark totally should have been making moony-faces at Chloe's awesomeness. At least these two had chemistry.
10. Clark/Lex (Smallville) Boy howdy, were these two gay for each other. I'm not one to see the HoYay where it doesn't exist (example: Simon/Jayne = no), but CLex was a match made in heaven. For real. The level of HoYay and unintentional innuendo between these two was EPIC and hilarious. They made SV worth watching.
The Bad
1. Gunn/Fred (Angel) Two words: pancake kisses!
2. Ted/Stella (HIMYM) I hated these two together. Boring, boring, boring. And so dysfunctional. Stop lying to each other already! Haaaaaate.
3. Scout/Bella (Young Americans) So bad, it's laughable. Really. Blink blink. Lip bite. Blink. Blink. Bite. Blink. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Not even the promise of incest could make these two interesting.
4. Clark/Lana (Smallville) God, ENOUGH ALREADY! I hate these two together. Awful. Just awful. Especially with the awesomeness that is Chloe getting screwed over by the Clana week after week.
The Ugly
1. Executive Director Warner/DuMont (Jake 2.0) Okay, I know few of you ever watched this, so I'll explain. Warner was Jake's boss, and was always out to get him and his team. If she could nail them to the wall, she would. She threatened to kill Jake several times. DuMont was Jake's greatest enemy in the field, and he went so far as to wipe Jake's mind to get him killed. DuMont was also young enough to be Warner's son. So imagine the squick factor when, in the script for the last (unfilmed) episode, the two are conspiring together to kill Jake, and the camera pans back to show that they're having sex while plotting Jake's death. ICKY TIMES 100!!!!!! And yet brilliant.
2. Connor/Cordelia (Angel) Do I even need to explain this one? SO CREEPY, yet so fascinating to watch.
3. Angel/Darla (Angel) They love each other, they hate each other just as much, they've tried to kill each other several times (and suceeded on occasion). Talk about your messed-up couple.
4. Wes/Lilah (Angel) There's no love here. Just two enemies trading secrets and having hot, dirty, filthy sex. It ended in decapitation. AWESOME.
5. Faith/Spike (Buffy) Okay, it only happened once, and Faith was in Buffy's body and Spike didn't know it. But holy crap, the TV screen sizzled when these two characters met up. Wowza.
ETA: I forgot to mention this, but last night we went to see Night at the Museum 2: Battle for the Smithsonian. The movie isn't superb, but it's fun. I enjoyed this movie more than the first. I mean, the premise of this franchise is good to begin with, but this one was better because it featured THE SMITHSONIAN. My parents took![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yakgirl and I to it as small children, and I have great memories of the Air & Space Museum and riding a carousel on the Mall. The absolute best part of the film (for me) was the Jeff Koons balloon dog running around like a giant aluminum puppy. This made me so gleeful, I actually clapped.
