stand at attention with her hands on her hips

a) ESPN & Tennis Channel SUCK. Rafa and Fed and Nole played tennis this afternoon/tonight, and what were they airing? WTA in Cincy and freakin' Agassi: Between the Lines.

b) I have been disappointed many times by how centrist Obama is on a variety of issues, but today he made me proud of the office of President.

c) Arthur/Eames fic (and the pretty that is Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) of the Inception variety has eaten my brain. But I hope to have a GK ficlet pieced together and posted some time this weekend.

d) My brain. I can't even explain the wrong that is an RPF AU spinning in there right now.

e) Time to go see if the speech Jeremy Scahill was scheduled to give this afternoon really was covered by CSPAN1. My journalistic crush, let me show you it.

c) I have yet to see Inception and I'm feeling a little left out

d) *points and laughs* I'm trying hard not to encourage this, but I kinda love it. and I kinda love how much it freaks you out. yeah, I'm a bad friend. ;)

IT INVOLVES A FICTIONAL PERSON AND REAL PEOPLE WHO ARE PUNDIT/ANALYSTS OR JOUNRALIST BUT NOT REALLY FAMOUS. IT REALLY FREAKS ME OUT. Why did I ever watch video of RL!Nate Fick and Andrew Exum and Jeremy Scahill on various news programs? WHY? It just made the slippery slide that much steeper.

Also, although some plots for fic might not make sense without seeing the movie, the pretty that is Tom Hardy and JGL can be appreciated without context. Have you seen [livejournal.com profile] danacias's most recent post? There are pics and video there. Yummy.

Yeah, I've done a fair share of reading in fandoms where I'm not actually familiar with the canon, but with the super limited computer time, it's not on the top of my list. [livejournal.com profile] danacias is on my stalker list, but I haven't gone to look at the post yet. :)

My brain has been eaten by Arthur/Eames, Tom Hardy and JGL as well. It's a wonderful, wonderful sickness.

Yeah, I constantly get pissed at the actual coverage of Tennis on the Tennis Channel, I must agree.

Oh man, this fic (http://canyousayhot.livejournal.com/1731.html#cutid1). You don't really need to know ANYTHING about them, except that they work together sometimes and Eames sort of needles Arthur. NRGH.

*ogles your icon*

He's just so pretty.

Holy moly, I just read this fic (http://canyousayhot.livejournal.com/1731.html#cutid1), and I have no words. I LOVE the idea of them text-sexing each other up.

*sigh*

Tomorrow, though. Tomorrow the semifinals are supposed to be televised. :D

He is VERY pretty. Also, like...A DUDE. A hot, scruffy DUDE. I approve wholeheartedly.

Mmmmm text-sexing. Nrelfjasdklfjlaksfjks

Is it on local channels tomorrow, or Tennis Channel? I'm asking because often Saturday coverage is on like, NBC.

ESPN2. There's a session from 2-4, and then again at 6pm. I'm not sure of the order of play, or if, since it's semis, the later timeslot will just be a rebroadcast of the earlier matches.
