Did anyone else watch the Tony awards last night? Because I did and on the whole it was pretty good and Kinky Boots won a gazillion things just like I wanted it to. Alas, Stark didn't win (the nomination is still nice, though), but Billy Porter's acceptance speech melted my heart into a little puddle of feelings so I wasn't even mad really. Plus Stark winked at the camera. No joke.

So I saw The Host with Le Boyfriend yesterday (bless him for going along to some terrible movies just so I can fangirl) and…wow. I have a truly astonishing streak of masochism when it comes to fangirling actors I like (but we know this already). Max Irons was kind of disappointing, but Jake Abel was pretty good in spite of the crappy material and looks like a really good kisser and Saiorse Ronan did the best she could, but the whole thing was kind of a hilarious mess of random punching and even more random making out. Worth renting just for a cute guy fix and for the lolz, if anything.

(Side note: People who still watch SPN, is Adam/Michael still languishing down in Hell? I might be persuaded to pick it up again if he comes back…)

In real world news, I still don't have a job yet but one of my RL friends is going to try to pull some strings for me, so we'll see how that turns out. In the mean time, I interviewed for PTA school a couple of days ago and feel pretty good about it, so I get to spend the next couple of weeks doing jury duty and waiting to find out if I got in or not IN ADDITION to hoping I can finally get a job. I guess this is where the frantic praying and nursing of ulcers comes in?

H'OKAY, so, internets, I've finally managed to catch up on some of the shows I used to talk about on here! I'm not sure if I'm quite up to doing reaction posts again or anything like that, but I feel even this is progress given the titanic funk I've been in lately.

Hart of Dixie )

Glee )

There are probably more shows that I should be catching up on but I can't remember them at the moment (did I ever talk about Sons of Anarchy? I'm still behind on that…). In the mean time, I'll just be over here re-reading some of my Marine books so that I can finally get Tunny through boot camp/SOI/Recon training and into Iraq so that this fucking crossover will stop making me feel like such a failboat. Ta!

Stark Sands? In my ONTD?

It's more likely than you think.

Who are all these other Stark fangirls there (I thought there were maybe five of us tops) and why don't I know them?

P.S. - What exactly is happening with Inside Llewyn Davis? Is this going to be another one of those damn movies I want to see that only comes out in New York and L.A.?

P.P.S. - ...Why can't I stop looking at that picture they have of him?

EDIT: Awwww, he was worried people would be put off by Tunny? I loved the shit out of Tunny (and still do, even). Bless his stupidly adorable heart.

You guys, I was catching up on Hart of Dixie last night and, by grave misfortune, I wound up watching this part at five in the morning and almost suffocated from trying to laugh quietly.

I desperately need gifs of the first 35 seconds of this video in my life. DESPERATELY. )

It brightened my day and keeps brightening my day, which is important because my days are in thundering need of some serious brightening lately. It's high-larious and also treats me to the delectable view of Scott Porter's upper body practically Hulking out of his suit jacket.

Also I would sell at least two limbs to see Stark do this. I'm just saying.

...So this posting layout LJ has is new...or I'm just incredibly late to the party (which is plausible when you consider how utterly crap I've been at internetting lately).

Honestly, how do you grown-up fandom types find the time to do this? I wake up at still-dark-thirty, go to work, come home too exhausted to do anything but take a nap, and then it's laundry and dinner and other boring necessities until it's time to go to bed in preparation for doing it all over again. I wish I could go back to college, at least there I felt sort of like an adult without actually having to be one and I still had a bit of energy left to internet. I'm not even going to talk about what trying to write has been like lately (...*sobs quietly into hands*)

So 2012 ended with a few too long (and occasionally crappy) days at work, lots of being sick, and lots of watching of Chris Evans movies to feel better about same. Say what you will about stupid chick flicks, but I think research should be done into the curative properties of What's Your Number? because, well...

Photobucket

Damn.

So that's the incredibly sad and boring state of my life right now. The one New Year's Resolution I might actually make is to finally finish the goddamn GK/AI crossover so it can stop haunting my subconscious and crushing me with guilt.

How are things?
