What are the three best books you have ever read and what are the three worst? What made them so good or bad?

Best:

1.) Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. It made me cry.
2.) Wicked. I love it.
3.) Son of a witch. Also just great.

Worst:

1.) A Lion Among Men. Just... WTF MAGUIRE? The lion comes off as a tool.
2.) Twilight. Bella is a whiny brat.
3.) The Sims 3 Instructions. So shit... doesn't help much at all.
 
 
With less than a week left until new Dollhouse episodes air, I've been surprised to see absolutely no advertisement of its return - yes we got canceled, but word is that all the episodes from here on out are absolutely fantastic, and as such they deserve to actually be seen!

I think it would be lovely to go out with a bang and raise the ratings from what they were previously. Let's do our show proud and spread the word!





Two more text variations under here. )

Feel free to take these and use them, as well as my icon, though they aren't all that fabulous. If anyone here wants to make graphics specifically advertising the December 4th return, please, please do and link them in the comments! I will add them to both this post and the Dollhouse graphics pool so that folks can find them easily.

Post banners, icons and whatnot on blogs, forums, tumblr, facebook or whatever else you use to help spread the word and let folks know that we're not quite finished yet! If you'd like to link them back to something, Dollhouse on Hulu, Fox on Demand or Why I Watch are swell candidates for that.

Thank you, and don't forget to ditch the tech!

Using only four words, tell me what you would say to me if we woke up in a jail together.

Then copy and paste this into your own Livejournal and see what responses you get.

Radar ran out of dog food yesterday, so before I fed him lunch just now I had to open a new bag. Most of it made it into the storage container, but some of it - maybe slightly more than he usually has in a meal - went skittering across the floor.

I went for a broom and dustpan and came back to see him meticulously working his way across the kitchen, eating everything that fell. Usual meals take him three minutes, five tops. This took him closer to ten since a lot of it was under the pushed-in chairs, and then when he was done he went and sat by his food bowl with such an expression of "okay, where's lunch?"

He got another couple mouthfuls of food in the bowl. A treat won't hurt him, and big puppy dog eyes do work, even when they're not puppies any longer.

  • 00:55:13: OMFG. I have a motherfucking stomach bug. Was planning on not eating today to prep for Thanksgiving--I needn't have bothered. FML.
  • 14:42:23: The Detroit coach looks like an older Dean Winchester. If he survives the apocalypse, he'd be pretty into that as a job, methinks.
  • 23:12:51: YAY, THE DENVER BRONCOS WON. WON, THE DENVER BRONCOS DID IT. WINNING, THE DENVER BRONCOS SUCCEED AT THIS. (for once, lately.)
  • 23:43:31: Forgot to mention my sick-fueled dream last pm. Running an Amazing Race-esque marathon. With 7 of 9. Who was kinda my gf. Hells to the yeah.

Discovery of the afternoon: my laptop stacked on top of a throw pillow stacked on top of a napping dog is an acceptable setup for doing grading, in that the grading gets done and Radar doesn't think he's being ignored.

Discovery of last night: my father has eight types of extracts in the spice cabinet. Not included among these choices is vanilla. Fortunately, orange and almond both work when making fudge. (Peppermint does, too, but it's not a 1:1 substitution like the others are and I didn't want to get it wrong on food I'm expecting other people to eat.)

Happy Thanksgiving (or Thursday) everyone. Right now I'm, yes, grading, and watching the recording of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I have seen the Kermit balloon, so all is well. In a little bit, I'm heading over to a friend's house for dinner. It's shaping up to be a decent holiday.

(Now the cast of Hair is performing. The Broadway segments are the ones I tape the parade for, but I've always wondered how well they work out once they get away from the tv filming area and onto the parade route proper.)

Written for a participation only [info]whedonland challenge. The story had to be about thanksgiving or giving thanks in some respect and this is what I came up with :D Only 356 words, no spoilers, Topher/Adelle

In episode 1 of season 3, Helena does the tarot card thing which says she will meet a lover, first back to back, then face to face. All the signs point to Alice, but in the end, it is Dylan who is Helena's lover. I was wondering how the whole tarot reading thing related to Dylan because I do not see any connection at all. I hope I'm not rambling.

  • 00:04:46: Is it possible to get a stomach ache from too many Rolaids? This seems counter intuitive, and yet my stomach has managed to find a way.
  • 10:18:30: Violence against women and girls is a problem of pandemic proportions-1 in 3 worldwide-& often perpetrated by someone known to her. #IDEVAW.
  • 13:48:02: Watched the Adam Lambert thing. Not going to lie, that was hot. The singing, though? Not so much. Not impressed by that performance at all.
  • 16:39:50: http://bit.ly/8BbgkL "Finn & Puck...I'm not sure how that 1 would ever come to pass. Maybe a dream sequence of Kurt’s." THIS, PLEASE. #Glee
  • 19:57:29: RT @chriskennett: not sure if I admire Adam Lambert for showing up a double standard, or am just bored shitless by manufactured controversy
  • 21:01:11: "Well, I'm the fine arts administrator. Or something." #Glee
  • 21:07:17: I hope that the signing #glee club is better than these guys. Jane Adams is singing fine, I guess, but the dancing is kinda generic.
  • 21:08:47: How many gosh darned "new numbers" are they going to get for sectionals? Jeez. Their repertoire has to be pushing 30 by now. #Glee
  • 21:11:11: Do I hear a redux of Cheno's "Popular" in the future between Kurt or Quinn and Rachel? Oh, please oh please ohpleaseohplease. #Glee
  • 21:16:14: KURT I LOVE YOU. "Where Strawberry Shortcake and Holly Hobby come to hook up." You inject gay into everything without even trying! #Glee
  • 21:17:28: Kurt in a catsuit now, please! I love his vicariousness. #Glee
  • 21:20:13: For serious? I'm not thinking the whole scene with the deaf teacher was funny at all. #Glee
  • 21:25:50: I miss you, DVR! I missed the whole Mrs. Shu/Mrs. Shu's Sister convo and reached to rewind it. Already dependent, I am this. #Glee
  • 21:27:54: We weren't allowed to wear things that blatantly skankish in high school. Aren't they in Ohio? Methinks she'd be shortly sent home. #Glee
  • 21:34:11: She always looks like a sad clown hooker, Finn. And acts like one, pretty much, too. Date Puck. Or Kurt. Or somebody else. #Glee
  • 21:34:28: OH KURT, YOU HORRIBLE HORRIBLE BITCH. You go, girl! #Glee
  • 21:38:55: You'd really think "Distractions" would be the title of this one. Odd that it's not. #Glee
  • 21:44:33: They're moving around so much that the other school isn't going to be able to read their lips. Also, I agree. They look ridiculous. #Glee
  • 21:45:28: Yay for signing applause! I tend to do that sometimes too, because I get annoyed by loud applause. Fail, I know. #Glee
  • 21:46:13: I've actually seen "Imagine" signed before in real life. You can really rock it out--some of the signs are very dance-esque. #Glee
  • 21:47:06: Way to just barge in there and make the song all about you guys, Mercedes and Artie. Me thinks fail. #Glee
