Really really did not like "Coco Before Chanel." Audrey Tautou is gorgeous and I could have looked at her all day, but I found her character's motivations unfathomable, and I had no sense at all where Chanel's great talent and style came from, nor was there any sense of the force in design she would one day become.

This was nothing but an overblown romance that somehow reduced everything she did to being about some guy. Nauseating. I HATED it.

Beautiful, yes. But blech.

I wish someone would make the Chanel film that is in my head. Because this is DEFINITELY not it.

I've decided to spam you.

It's been too long since you had a good Ny-spam. teehee.

But this is my last tonight i promise.

Need a good rec? Last thanksgiving I hosted a Rec-a-thon. It was tons of fun. Here is the link to the awesome 2008 Thanksgiving Rec-a-Thon. Lot's of good fic if you are in need!

( THE deleted scene...for the sake of those who are bothered by it, every thing is under a cut. )

God I love Queer as Folk.

*sobs*

I should never watch Love Actually and QaF 101 and 513 in the same day. It turns me into a girlie sobbing omg love is beautiful mess.

Ok. nerilka24 and I just finished watching episodes 101 and 102 at qaf_marathons.

But it's not to late for you to join the squee.

You can either:

A)Watch it later and follow along with our comments while you do so and join in with them. The beauty of the internets. Conversations can take place over days.

Or you can B) Come join me at qaf_marathons in 30 minutes. At 10pm EST. For episode 512 and 513.

ETA: Nerilka had to go to bed. I will be on my own for 512 and 513. *sniffles*

Just a reminder We (hopefully it'll be a we and not just an I) will be watching the beginning and the end tonight at qaf_marathons.

I will get started at 8pm EST, watch 101 and 102 straight through. Then probably take a few minutes intermission and then watch 512 and 513 straight through starting at about 10pm EST.

Please join me! :D

And if you've never marathoned with me before just an fyi that I don't often get very deep with my comments, but you can feel free to. Or stay on the shallow end with me.

Why am I doing this? Because I have an urge to watch them both in one sitting and look at where they all started out and where they ended up without a ton of focus tonight on the hows and whys they got there.

I can't handle the crowds on Black Friday, and besides, my holiday shopping, such as it is, is done. (We're buying for the kids only this year, due to the financial problems of one of my brothers).

So my sisters in law and I are going to see "Coco Before Chanel," while my brothers and their sons do their manly, boy-ly thing without us. And then this evening, not_yet_defined is doing a marathon of 101-102 and 512-513 over at qaf_marathons, so that's what I'll be doing when I get home!

See you then!

This scene always makes me melt.

So much so that just hearing the song in my ipod at work makes me melt.

Are you permanently insane? First person on my flist to respond to this post by NOON EST will get a permanently insane account from me. If you are already permanently insane. You can gift the account to one of your favorite QaF asylums like qaf_drabbles or bj_action, or any QaF asylum you like.

In return. You must post at least one fandom post today as well. A drabble. A vid. Some icons. A discussion at qaf_coffeeclub. Whatever you like.

Happy Black Friday!

:D

Ready. Set. Go!

ETA: the most awesome besamislabios won! and generously gifted the account to bj_action in the hopes that it might see a little action soon. hmm...

First, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

A couple of new fandom friends don't know the origin of the name of the current celebration in qaf_drabbles , "Gusmas," so I thought I'd explain.

Once upon a time, four fangirls wrote a story together, and the unbelievable url_girl illustrated it. (Well, we didn't write it, exactly -- it was divinely inspired, so it might be better said we channeled it.)

It was the story of Assbaby!Jesus (Gus for short), and of course, it's his birth we celebrate during the Solstikwanzanukkamas Season, which runs from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.

Be warned if you choose to read this fic; you're sure to end up on the bus to the hot place if you do.

Assbaby!Jesus: A Brian/Justin Christmas story

I can't believe I've only posted like 3 times this month (not including posts in the asylums). I don't think this has ever happened before except for when I first started a journal.

Champ continues to improve. His last test results were so much better and so much closer to the normal range that I cried a little on the way home. Plus, in one week, he gained 13 ounces. So, I've decided to go ahead with my vacation plans (which I sorely need at this point). My sister is planning something special for my 40th and a dear friend is coming into town. After that, we're heading out on a road trip ending in a spa for a couple of days in Vermont. From there, we'll part company and I'll continue on to my sister's for Reason's first birthday. I'll be a few days early, but we're going to celebrate anyway.

I can finally get excited because I found someone to stay with Charger and Champ on top of my sis checking in on them.

I also decided not to cook dinner this year for Thanksgiving. I cheated and bought everything pre-made and I'm so happy about it. I'll have time to do the things I want to do. Happy sigh.

On a fandom note, I want to know something. Tell me a scene that makes you melt. It has to be a scene that causes your heart to skip a beat every single time you watch it. Post about it in your journal...or here in comments. I can't wait to see what you've got for me. :D

I bring you some Thanksgiving fare - Brian and Justin style. To everyone celebrating, have a great holiday and to all others enjoy your Thursday!


Thanksgiving by Myrna - when Myrna gets it right, she gets it so very right and the end of this story makes me melt...just melt.

TRYPTOPHAN by msjudi

I'm going to be home alone friday night and think I'd like to watch a few episodes.

Anybody want to join me?? I was thinking of doing 101, 102, 512 and 513. I like the idea of doing the beginning and the end back to back. I would probably start at 8pm EST.

:D Please let me know if there is any interest in this.

♥ Happy Birthday plasticine_star ♥

I hope you had an awesome day!

*licks*

♥ ♥ Happy Birthday noteverything ♥ ♥

I hope you have an amazing day filled with joy and fun and people you love. *hugs*

So, I've been working on Directions today.... it's so good to feel the fic flowing again. :)

I am going to try to finish it this weekend and send it for beta, although I may need next weekend to get it done. I should probably wait until after the Thanksgiving weekend to post it, shouldn't I?

In other news, I have bunnies for a Xena/Gabrielle fic, a Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer fic, and a Michael/Ben fic, and NO ONE but me really wants to read any of those things. It makes me sad, yo.

Although I also have a Drew/Emmett bunny and I know at least Travis likes to read those!

Anyone in the mood for some steamy porn from some of our finest porny writers? If so, have at it and remember, I'm not responsible for your reactions. :D

Don't forget to drool all over the authors!

Does anyone remember me?

I'm slowly...very slowly starting to crawl out of my hole. Champ is doing a bit better but he's not out of the woods yet. His recent test results are positive and he's eating more and more on his own each day but I still have to feed him and he still has his stomach tube.

Anyhoo, I'm going to try to be around a bit more at least to check my flist. I feel so lost.

Anyone interested in being a Guest Host at qaf_drabbles?

Also, I still need lots of REAL addresses for your prezzies from the Halloween Contest, so email them to me so I can finish getting those together.

How is it possible I have no QAF Thanksgiving icons? I have every other freaking holiday!

Anyone help a fangirl out? Are there any Thanksgiving icons floating around you feel like sharing?

Love,

Xie

Never, ever go on vacation, especially a really good one.

The crash when you get back to real life is a bitch.
