happy May day!

1. we_pimpin. My brain is so wrong. It's poking me to write Ray/Dirty Earl fic for the Ray/Rare Pair challenge. (Ray's been exploited by his betters. And he enjoyed it, okay? STFU.)

2. I am intrigued by skater boys, but their sparkle and bitchery has not inspired me to write. Or to break my no WIPs rule. BBB needs to get here soon and jump-start my fandom participation again.

3. None of these are new pictures, not really. And they're not bandom or skaters, they're tennis dudes and actors. But here:




Rafa won today in Rome! \o/ I'm excited for the finals!


So did Ferrer.


Sadly, that means that HotSauce did not. I was really hoping to see a Nadal/Verdasco final. But whatever, the Spanish Armada still triumphed!


Feli lost in the quarters. IDK, was he distracted by the sarong, or by his ex announcing their pregnancy?


I sort of love this shot. He's faster than a speeding bullet!


Yeah, this is really just here because I perv on his forearms. Sorry, Rafa, I know you're uncomfortable with idea of being a sex symbol, but you're hot. Deal.


At least the perving stops (mostly) at Rafa's arms. For HotSauce, my mental perving goes much, much further.


He's aware of his female fans' opinions. He celebrates it.


Rafa's just a quiet, private kinda guy. With a ridiculously adorable smile.


I know, I've been trying to resist True Blood b/c the bits and pieces I've seen are so very very bad. Sookie's a Mary Sue, I hate Bill. But Eric. ERIC. AND PAM. The miniepisode HBO released this week might lure me to the dark side. Along with this dude:


But in addition to him, there are these other guys, friends/colleagues of his, that I've been admiring:


PJ Ransone, your big brown eyes and your dimples and your ink do ridiculous things to me.




I say again: RIDICULOUS. But still.


NRGH. Smoking is bad, kids.


Tell me again when his new project will be aired? And why Steve Zahn got the part he auditioned for in Treme. I'm suffering here. As I told vic_ramsey earlier, I might resort to watching Prom Night for a fix.


Really. Smoking is bad. DON'T DO IT.


I'm not sure what the photographer was aiming for when they styled this shot, but I like it.


And he cleans up nicely.


And then we get to the SSandshowsohot portion of the picspam.


Does he look 31? I think he looks 21. Maybe.


The hat slays me. And it's paired with skinny jeans and that checked/plaid shirt, which says preppy-guy-who's-not-quite-a-hipster-but-is-trying-really-hard to me.


There is nothing I do not like about this, content-wise. Thank you, Broadway.com, for doing a dayinthelife with him.


Nrgh, Tony Vincent. Plus Stark. Oh, and John's in the photo, too. Mostly I'm distracted by the middle and left side of the shot. The way Stark's sprawled, relaxing, and the way Tony is right there against him.


I repeat: my ink kink, let me show you it. I think the tats changed a bit: the wolf isn't quite the same style as it was originally. I think the snake on his bicep has gone through some minor changes. He's got a barcode on one arm now. The star on his neck migrates up and down. But Gemma is constant. That... is sort of ridiculously charming.


What? Boy spends time in the gym. And apparently he's cleaned up his dressing area since the last time they allowed a photographer in there, on opening night.


4. What I've been listening to lately. Again, not necessarily new.
Tracks:
Aya - BRMC
She Likes Hair Bands - Butch Walker
Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day/American Idiot Cast [I was not that fond of the original album version, or even the Bullet In A Bible live version - it's too long - but the different cast members' voices make me appreciate this song now]
Working Class Hero - Green Day
Injection - Rise Against
Fuck You, Aurora - Alkaline Trio [ILU, Matt Skiba, but direct address commas need to be used, ok?]
Coming To Terms - Carolina Liar
Friendly Fire - Cavashawn
Caroline - Concrete Blonde
Turpentine Chaser - Dashboard Confessional (the MTV Unplugged version)

5. I recorded Letterman again last night for The Hold Steady's performance (gimme that new album, boys!) and there was bonus David Beckham. I don't really care what he was talking about - he is very pretty. And his suit was also very pretty.

OK. I'm going to go run a few miles. *puts on the Citius, Altius, Fortius mix*

Hope y'all are having a good weekend. ♥

I downloaded the American Idiot OBC! Will upload it to my ipod next time I actually hook it up to my computer. Am excite to hear it.

...I may have told you this already. It's been a long day and I'm tired.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Is today going to be a "don't bother me, I'm curling up with my phone and want quiet" kind of day?

[shutyourface.livejournal.com]

Good grief, yes. But considering that they all did the same things yesterday that I did, I'm hoping they'll be a lot better at adhering to that today than they were last weekend.

Rafafafafafafafa! :D I love him so much. (I mean, I love the rest of the armada too, but Rafa's my darling.) ♥

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

He's my favorite too. IDK, I like the others (and enjoy looking at them a lot) but he's the one whose interviews make me grin like a fool, and in the end he's the one I root for. :D

Mmm, those are some lovely boys!

And thanks for the tunes. =)

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

You're welcome for both! :)
