uuuuunbreak batman's heeeeeeart

♠Stone Age skeletons in the Sahara! And to me this is the coolest part: About 100 million years ago, this land was forested and occupied by dinosaurs and enormous crocodiles. Not that that's new, just... GIANT CROCODILES! Crocodiles are cool! I love crocodilians!

♠Has anyone else noticed that the Dictionary.com word of the day is, about half the time, an annoyingly, obnoxiously elementary joke? I don't look at it on purpose: it shows up in the news headlines in gmail. "Blackguard"? Seriously? Anyone who teaches elementary language arts should look into using this site. Or anyone who teaches ESL. Not anyone who is actually an adult and a native speaker of English. "Meticulous"? "Propound"? "Laconic"?

♠I had to turn down the chance to go to Ängisbacka today because I haven't had time to get up and eat and stuff yet. :(

♠I had a disturbing mixture of anxiety nightmares and dreams about cuddling my sweet, sweet little dog. I guess having him sleep snuggled against my legs is good for something.

♠Batman is so brooding and grumpy and emo. Isn't it great? perhael and I had a total crack digression about Toni Braxton in regards to her wip yesterday that will show up in the deleted scenes when she's done unless we forget.

beauty comes in all shapes that can be found in actors on the WB, apparently.

"Ugly is the new beautiful!" trumpets this enraging msnbc headline. It's about an alternative model agency called Ugly which is supposed to supply "models who are not traditionally beautiful".

Look at the gallery - no seriously, look at all the pictures.

Okay. You know what I noticed about the gallery? I noticed that about half or a third of the male models are overweight, old or average looking. Meanwhile, aside from one little person and one curvy woman who strongly resembles Ugly Betty's America Ferrera, every single female model looks like... a model. One's slightly older and one's prematurely grey, but they're all tall, thin and willowy, possessed of what I would certainly call conventionally attractive faces, and pretty damned white. None of them would look out of place on television or in commercial advertisements. Most of them seem to be "unique" only by virtue of having tattoos, piercings, or gothy makeup.

What does it say that a message like According to agency founder Simon Rogers, "beauty really does come in all shapes and sizes" comes accompanied by an illustration that screams that he's lying?

RAGE!

crackfic and the laws of probability [subtitle STEAL THIS PLOT IDEA FOR YOUR FANDOM!]

aeslis: And not only that, they each sired one of the twins. DO NOT ASK ME HOW THIS WORKS.
cimness: Fraternal twins!
aeslis: ... yeah, but I mean. C'mon now.
cimness: I thought you meant it was mpreg.
aeslis: No. They had a threesome with a girl and she's like, oh, I'm about to get married, here are the kids I got accidentally pregnant with, you can have them, I don't want them to affect my new life! *note in basket on doorstep*
aeslis: And somehow, Nino has forgotten this. Though I guess he musta been sloshed like hell, seeing as not only did he forget the memory, they both forgot a condom.
cimness: I'm gonna go out on a limb and classify this as crack, so I don't think that probability is really a just critique...
aeslis: That limb, you will not fall from it.

EDIT: I picked my threesome icon accidentally, if you can believe it, because the keyword is "XD".
