So for now, here's a picture of WWII Italian resistance fighters, sent in by a kindly commenter!


Why can’t I stop watching Mad Men?

Nothing ever happens on the show! Nothing! But I can't stop!

I don’t get people who watch it and then make comments like "Oh, it was so horrible/weird/wonderful/whatever back then!" or the like. Um, it’s a drama show, not a hidden camera documentary, people. I mean, imagine humankind in 50 years watching Grey’s Anatomy and taking that as a snapshot of what life was like in whatever this decade is called. "Wow, everyone sure was skinny and culturally harmonious! And they sure did sleep with a lot of people at work!" And that show was made without a 50-year gap.

Anyway. I know the internet is in love with Christina Hendricks*, but come on:


 

 
By far the hottest chick on the show.


* Although, one of my favorite bits so far is that really subtle scene where Joan goes home and starts rubbing at the spot on her skin where her bra strap was. I admire a TV show that can show so much in so little.

IDF MONDAY: SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR TODAY

So, this lining on the floor in my front hallway was coming loose, and I bought this super strong glue to hold it down. And it takes like 24 hours for the glue to take hold properly, so I found a bunch of heavy things in the house (chair, carton of beer, a big ax from the shed, etc) and rested them on top of the bits of floor I'd glued down and left them there.

About two hours later, my brother comes home, dodges his way past chair and beer and ax and goes to the kitchen.

Me: I was gluing the floor.

Him: What?

Me: The floor. That's why there's all this stuff everywhere.

Him: Oh. I didn't notice.

Me: You didn't wonder why there was a giant ax resting against the wall in the front hallway?

Him: I figured you were mad at the cat.

it's loaded with fun

Bones: Booth Hot Blooded


Yes I know she looks about 15. But I don't think Gil Elvgren was a pedophile so it's an illusion. STOP JUDGING ME.
Growing Up Cullen
I was bedridden for a while this morning so I decided to teach myself to make animated gifs! I made a few Twilight icons for practise (with Growing Up Cullen quotes, of course), and then tried making a few gifs from avi files. Here is one I liked:





The actress is Lara Gilchrist; I think she is so pretty! I had actually written here: 'I hope she shows up on Supernatural like every other BSG female cast member', but then I checked on IMDB and it turns out she already did show up (she is the girl in the diner in Scarecrow who shuts down Dean when he is awkwardly chatting up her and her husband.) Oh Vancouver acting pool, you are so predictable.

Now get your finger off the trigger, woman!
