Choccygirl requested a 'From out of the Rain' wallpaper ... I ended up making two, one Janto and one Ianto (because who could resist that face? Not me!)



ENJOY!! :D

We watched "the" episode tonight. You know, the one with the greenhouse naughtiness, for which the greenhouse was apparently expressly introduced, because I don't remember them ever actually doing anything else in it. I really wish I didn't believe Jack/Ianto is fundamentally doomed. And that I could find good Torchwood fic (unearthed any gems lately? Anyone? Don't make me write that self-indulgent wedding story I've been thinking about...)

Today's "pimp my gay soap" clip is Hollyoaks. Priest lovin' on the couch, but good luck finding those keys again, Kieron. This is why you should plan your trysts out in advance. Or invest in a keyrack by the door.

Chances that if the Simpson-Wentz nuptials are this weekend, we will get a blog post with a picture of Pete and Patrick in their tuxes and a not-so-cryptic reference to gay marriage in California: High/Really Fucking High/Why are you even ASKING, Giddy, DUH.

Smallville chat here, for those of you who fear scrolling text, really like to multitask, will be seeing the show in some sort of alternate dimension and separate from everyone else.

Note: I am taking el napo, I have seen the ep, so spoiler away in the comments, I'll come back and be all flaily and stuff with you in a bit.

If your item was not linked, it's because the header lacked the information that we like to give our readers. Please at least give the title, rating and pairing or characters. Spoiler warnings are also greatly appreciated. If you were not linked, and would like to be, contact us with further information and your link below. Thank you!

For my own sanity (and my bank account's happiness) I've decide to do a little excel spreadsheeting. My problem? I don't know excel very well (forget the fomulas), I'm stuck using office 2007 and while I know what sort of information I want out of the spread sheet, I'm not sure how to format it so I can get that information.

Does anyone understand the program enough that if I gave you a list (and we all know how much I love those) of what I want to be able to do (I don't think it's going to be too complex), you can help me?

In summation: Help please?

p.s. Feel free to say yes and then disappear until after you have recovered from Smallville and/or SPN.

I'll ETA with what I'm looking for after a nap and poke you awesome people to come have a looksie.

According to sonnekinde:

I always imagine shipping wars like this massive field battle, in which everyone is fighting everyone else. You've got the Buffy/Angel batalion on one side, trying to axe-murder the Buffy/Spike squad; then there are the Remus/Sirius forces, forcefully trying to push the Remus/Tonks shippers off a cliff; the Harry/Hermione are busy bludgeoning the Harry/Ginny division to death with shovels and frying pans; all the while the House/Cuddy corps is throwing molotov coctails in the ranks of the House/Wilson platoon.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, sitting comfy on a thick tartan rug, are the Willow/Oz and Willow/Tara shippers, having tea and cookies and exchanging suggestions on how to bake the best chocolate cake.

(Of course, at some point the Willow/Kennedy shippers arrive and as ask if they may join, to which we stare at them for a while before kindly telling them no. We don't have enough tea anyways.)


Context here.

…and I know, when AREN’T we; but nevertheless, here’s my car magazine's contribution, as annotated by myself and Siria:

( Dean Winchester masturbates to my magazine )

Go California! (Shut up, Brad. No, rly. Shush. I know it rules.)

Have been v. occupied with planning stuff with Brad and Dragon*Con stuff. Older Half kept me on the phone for an hour and a half today. Weird, but nice.

I knew this day would come.

Velvet Goldmine, for a long time has been my favourite film. Then I rediscovered Labyrinth and it was joint favourite. Now I've seen too many amazing films and...oh, it's tragic. See for yourself.

HAYLEY'S FAVOURITE FILMS AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME

1. Labyrinth
2. Brothers Of The Head
3. My Own Private Idaho
4. The History Boys
5. Velvet Goldmine
6. The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari
7. The Birds
8. The Wicker Man (original)
9. La Haine
10. Eagle VS Shark

I'm sorry, Velvet Goldmine. I'm so sorry.

California same-sex marriage ban struck down

YAY.

Anonymous Bible-quoting in my Yay! California Gay Marriage post

Is it wrong that this just makes me laugh? A lot?

But then, how can I be sad when so many people will be having average, boring, gay-married sex soon? I AM SURROUNDED BY AN UMBRELLA OF LOVE.

...I also seem to have just invented a new condom euphemism. \o/
