Thursday is the new Friday.

I feel like all I ever do here now is whine about work. :( BUT FOR THIS POST, NO WHINING!

1. SXSW in less than one week. Stamps! Gold Motel! Empires! Hopefully Electric Touch and Taddy Porter and Discos! I don't think I'll get there in time for the Black Cards show, but that's alright. At least four days of music music music.

2. harriet_vane has tempted me into comment fic about Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield accidentally cuddling and going on shellfish dates. IDEK.

3. Paper should go out to MCB Oncogene tomorrow. FUCK, YES. I want it off my desk.

4. Indian Wells. :D :D :D J is there (or going to be this afternoon, rather) so I expect full reports on Ana and Nole and SStosur and Rafa and Nando's fauxhawk.

5. I didn't really have a fifth point, but for symmetry reasons I like it as the number of items on a list. Um... prompt me? I feel like I really am coming out from my fandom hibernation.

1. I expect yall to have lots of fun for me!

2. haha, harriet_vane is so evil. And Jesse is so cute! It's hard to resist!

3. YAY!

4. also YAY!

5. Ray & Walt (or Ray/Walt), food fight. OR Harry/Draco, trainwreck. Or, y'know, more cuddling fic. *g*

In my own personal canon, Ray is an awesome cook. The MRE cookies that got schwacked were an expression of how much he missed his kitchen. Which he tries not to tell anyone in Bravo Two, b/c the Marines already make them gay enough, he doesn't need them making Julia Child jokes, too. Walt finds out by accident.

A long-winded way to say: on it like a motherfucker.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

In my own personal canon, you are my very fucking favorite. ;)

The blueberry puree that turns his hair purple is Walt's own fault.

He should know better than to try to be a sneaky mothefucker around another Recon Marine.

Seriously, Ray was just trying out a new recipe, one for lemon cheesecake with blueberry sauce, and he would never waste such a delicious treat by spillage if left on his own.

Maybe he should've told Walt when he moved in that the serving-size portions in the freezer weren't actually things his mom or ex-girlfriend made. Then it would've been easier to admit that Ray was one step away from being a true chef.

But he figures the Marines make you gay enough; he really doesn't need to hear more bullshit from his team. Which he would, because they can't keep secrets for shit.

So he waits until Walt's out with his girl one night to break out his copy of Delectable Desserts.

He should've fucking known something would happen. But he was thinking it would be that the cheesecake wouldn't set or the blueberries would be too tart. Walt coming home early. sneaking up behind him and trying to swipe a fingerful of the blueberries from over his shoulder? Totally not on his list of possibilities. Apparently Walt's not expecting an elbow to the gut either, and his retaliation sends the mixer and the leftover cream-cheese mixture flying, and it's all downhill from there.

So, yeah, Walt can figure out what the fuck to do to get that shit out of his hair. For his part, Ray just hopes there's a way to get blueberry stain out of white porcelain tile, or else never see his security deposit again.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay, so Walt should have known better than to try and sneak up on Ray, but Ray should've known better than to try and keep secrets with Walt living with him. Walt's a good guy, and Ray could always threaten to withhold food.

I LOVE THIS!! :)

Walt would promise silence in exchange for brownies. And the spinach gnocchi that he tried a few weeks ago and really really liked.

come and visit me! I'm going to try to hit up as much as I can during SXSW. Also, I'm gonna try to see Ted Leo and Queens of the Stone Age.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

I'm prob going to get to Austin on Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully. My twitter username is the same as my LJ. I'll prob turn text alerts off for SXSW or it'll kill my phone, but I can still check it via Echophone. Or, IDK, if you feel okay about it, email me your phone number and we can meet up? irisgirl12000 at yahoo dot com

[galaxyaway.livejournal.com]

I'll just DM you my phone number via twitter. :)

Yeah, I'm leaving to SA for a couple days to see Portugal, The Man and then driving back up with my friend the 16th. I'd offer you a place to stay, but I live in the dorms. But we should meet up for sure!

[galaxyaway.livejournal.com]

I just realized I can't DM your my number cause you don't follow me. I'll email you.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

I followed you back!

[galaxyaway.livejournal.com]

I just emailed you. haha. technology~

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I am SO PLEASED, you have no idea. YAY YAY YAY.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Jesse wonders if maybe all the shellfish dinners (srsly, they have tried scallops and oysters and shrimp and crab and that is just in Baltimore!) count as dates retroactively. Because after making out through the entire episode, now that he REALIZES they were on a date, he's totally okay with the idea of putting out on their ACTUAL first date.

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

I REALLY HOPE YOU ARE PREPARED TO TELL ME ABOUT THIS IN DETAIL. *___________*

he's totally okay with the idea of putting out on their ACTUAL first date

AMAZING. ♥

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Jesse has PRIORITIES, okay? He's not going to pretend to be modest with a dude who's seen him first thing in the morning before coffee and last thing before collapsing from exhaustion, with whom he's discussed liking (or not) the person cast as a potential significant other in various roles.


CLEARLY I NEED A JESSE/ANDREW ICON

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Hee. They lived together; Andrew has TOTALLY seen him mostly naked by accident, and they have talked about all kinds of shit while Jesse drove Andrew to work and it's not like he's going to pretend to be a fainting virgin now. I like the way you think, Eisenberg.

YOU DO.

[junebug-waltz.livejournal.com]

HEATHER.

HEATHER.


I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH.

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

I blame harriet_vane. :D :D :D

ARE YOU IN ATX? I WILL BE THERE IN JUST A FEW DAYS!

[junebug-waltz.livejournal.com]

BETWEEN YOU AND TABBY AND LIKE. EVERYONE ELSE ON MY FLIST, I FEEL LIKE I WILL HAVE TO FRIEND THIS PERSON EVENTUALLY. IF ONLY TO TALK EVEN MORE ABOUT JESSE EISENBERG AND MY EPIC LOVE FOR HIM.


I AAAMMMM I AM TOTALLY HERE, AND WAITING FOR YOU! :DDDDD

(also lol i remembered to bring your book back! yay go me! it was excellent!!!!)

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

You must go friend harriet_vane!

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

I highly recommend it! harriet_vane is all kinds of awesome, and not just for the Jesse/Andrew love.

(Whyyyy is LJ not sending me comment notifications? WHY?)

[pau494.livejournal.com]

1. Muuusic! FANTASTIC music.

2. Flailing is totally an acceptable response to this point because that's what I'm doing. And hearteyes. EPIC hearteyes.

3. \o/

4. I'm excited for one Argentinean dude, Del Potro, who's been out of the game for about a year.

5. Are you up for some Brad/Nate? Tattoos.

Zen (Brad/Nate)

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Brad has spent hours and hours with his skin bare, listening to the hum of the needle, feeling it pierce his skin. He never got off on it, never trembled under the gaze of curious onlookers who watched as the scene on his back took shape, just reached a zen-like state where he could acknowledge the heat and sting.

But the first time he goes to Mickey's to get fresh ink with Nate? That changes. Now it's Nate watching closely, studying skin he's mapped with his fingers and tongue, and it's all Brad can do to breathe deep breaths and remain still.

Re: Zen (Brad/Nate)

[pau494.livejournal.com]

♥__♥ Nate changes everything, of course. For the better!

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Del Potro won one of the tournaments leading up to Indian Wells, right? It was a big deal b/c it was his first win back on the tour.

[pau494.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was a big deal! He fucked up his wrist and had surgery and months of recovery, so it's pretty great to see him winning again.
