we are the rust upon your gears

1. A ton of photos from the other night's Broadway Impact fundraiser appeared in the FYAI tumblr overnight, filling my googlereader inbox, making me happy. :D But I have to ask... why was Christina Sajous wearing what looks like a wedding gown? No, really: the pearls, the beading, the bodice's fit. What's up with that?

2. It is really hard to focus on science when I want to be writing out the porn that's on repeat in my head. Just sayin'.

3. Appropriate timing: I just read the exchange between Abizaid and Mattis to which Ricks refers here in No True Glory.

4. BRB, laughing at the little coincidences in life. I read one of the tabs I have open, a combat_jack GKbattle fic for the "fog of war" prompt, last night before going to bed, and then I checked my googlefeed first thing this morning and found an op-ed piece by Andrew Exum in the NYT, Getting Lost In Afghanistan's Fog Of War. Fandom and news media converge once again. (Exum is inevitably tied to Fick in my brain, even though he has absolutely nothing to do with Generation Kill. It's just one of those leaps that, once made, my brain cannot un-make.)

5. DNW to go spend a few hours in the cold room. *sigh* But I suppose Mick Jagger has the right of it.

6. why_me_why_not just posted some skating!RPS threesome fic. If I told you I was drunk. Johnny/Stephane/AdamR. You should check it out, if you're into the skating thing.

PORN! Um. I mean, how about you go focus on science & I'll reward you with porn after?

But the porn in my brain is hoooooot. It will keep me warm in the cold room. :D? That's what I'm telling myself, anyway.

*points at icon* That?

Hey, as long as it keeps you warm in the cold room, then that's a valid reason to keep porn in your head! Just don't let it interfere with the scienceness.

haha, maybe. :P

HAVE YOU NOT SEEN CHRISTINA'S VIDEO?

She was in fact wearing a wedding dress and singing "My Heart Will Go On" with Libby Winters accompanying her on flute. It was amazing. I don't know why, but possibly because she's a lesbian (which is what the cute gay boys were saying behind me at the bar) and because it was about marriage equality.

But seriously, this video will change your life.

Also: Michael Fucking Esper

I knew that the event was about marriage equality, but I guess I wasn't expecting to actually see a wedding dress as a costume for that venue.

I have not watched the video, because that song is so tied to bad bad Celine Dion memories in my head that I was like NONONO, DON'T WATCH IT! But I will do so, and maybe my memories will be wiped clean. :)

No one was expecting what she brought to the table. <3

You seriously have to watch it. The whole thing was a comedy routine and all of Joe's Pub was cracking up. Once we realized what song she was going to perform...oh goodness. Epic.

That is AWESOME. :D
