It’s Ben Day!

jennben This is a really old picture, but it’s fine because we are really old friends. On this day, many, many years ago, the most clever, witty, loyal, ginger, etc. baby was born. Though no one knew it at the time, he would grow up to inspire a generation to see the humor and beauty in others’ suffering and humiliation.

Happy Birthday, Ben! :love: :cake: :love:

Surprising Daisies

Pushing Daisies The latest episode of PD had a very unexpected, yet very welcomed, guest star. Though the part was smallish, the detective was a true highlight for the series. It is a real shame this show is canceled. There are so many other shows I can recommend in its place that should have been canceled long ago; pretty much everything else on ABC’s schedule for starts.

Exactly a year ago, I was sick. I remember because it’s Dad’s birthday and last year I had to take the PRAXIS II test (which I aced, btw) and I was too sick to hold my head up through the examination. Anyway, I’m sick again. I’m going to stock up on vitamin C and hole up in my house for the week prior to this weekend next year. I’m putting it on the calendar now. Hmmph.

In Honour of the Day

Sean Bean Sean Bean’s birthday is today, and though I’m not celebrating on LJ this year, I thought I’d do my own little birthday picspam here. My favorite picture is the one here, of course, but all my other favorites will be behind the cut.

It was much more difficult to contain this picspam than I thought it would be. I could have done just Boromir and had it take two pages. :love:

Odds and Ends

dexter_logo Dexter is both odd, and ending. Well, ending in the sense that I am finishing S3 today. I just read that it has been renewed for two more seasons, but I have to admit that waiting a week between episodes is going to kill me. Heh. See whut I did thar? Fantastic show, and I highly recommend it.

I want to take this moment to voice my disappointment with the photoshoots in this cycle of ANTM. They suck. There’s been a total of ONE shoot where the girls were shot alone, and their faces were smeared with colored powder for that one. Looking back to, say, cycle 2, when the shoots were inventive and still beautiful, makes me think that if ANTM doesn’t try to look back instead of trying to create some messed up future, it’s going to lose what little credibility it still has.

I’m currently awaiting the car repairman to pick up my car. I got up early for this, dude! Chop chop! Whoa, not a good thing to say to an off the books repairman…
