A Few Things

My Valentines was...okay it was pretty brilliant. I had a lot of fun and gave Matt a card shaped like the TARDIS (hand-made, of course) with an invisible ink message that became visible when he pointed his newly-acquired (not via me) sonic screwdriver at it ( Read more... )

You and Matt are soo geeky together (and don't let me go on about how you two can have little geeky children together...) but it sounds like you had a wonderful v-day!

I watched the first season of Secret Diary of a Call Girl but could never get back into it. I guess real life got in the way. I started watching it solely for the purpose of seeing Billie Piper in a new role. She's really good in it!

That commercial for the dog show that has the background music of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi"? Nope, I have no idea what you are talking about. AND I don't watch repeats of White Collar EVERY TIME it comes on just so I can watch Peter and Neal being adorable together. Nuh-uh, not me! (Clearly, I'm in denial...)

I thought the opening ceremony for the Olympics were awesome! Ice skating is pretty cool but I find that with most ice skating routines done in the Olympics are kind of stiff and boring, imo. I like more show tunes-y, jazzy, and fun ice skating routines, idk. I like what I like, I guess.

"...bleet like a sheep during sex set to the Tale of the Lonely Goatherd from Sound of Music."

Aww, sweet Valentine's!

Aw, you're so cute, Meglet. ♥

Secret Diary of a Call Girl is kinda brilliant. I want to buy the books even though I've perused the blog but... yes, I agree. Billie Piper is a sexy thing.

shut up. >.>

IT REALLY IS. I...didn't peruse as much as read every entry, from the oldest forward. Because I am OCD. And yeah, Billie Piper? QUITE HOT.

Sharing the sad that there is no new White Collar this week. There are only a few shows I follow on TV and they all seem to be re-runs. Ho-hum. Is this an Olympics outage?

Also, I see you follow the Equestrian sports in the summer Olympics...do you/did you ride? I did show jumping for many many years (and am determined to get back to someday) although I dabbled in the dressage arena too.

Well, White Collar is the dog show, Chuck is the Olympics, everything else is....IDK? Beats me.

I did! A fellow show-jumper at that! I rode growing up, did the show jumping through high school, was on the Equestrian team in college and got bored with equitation and shifted to Western, did reining for a while. But in my heart, I'm a jumper.

I opted not to do the eq team in college...I did do a little eq on the side of my show jumping career and found it kind of boring too. I missed the "really going for it" feeling, or something along those lines.

I admit I haven't ridden Western much, but I was always impressed by the reiners. They say it actually has a lot in common with dressage, which I can totally see.

In my head somewhere there is a Merlin/Arthur fic set in the equestrian world; Arthur is the kid who grew up with lots of $ and all the best horses, Merlin had to catch-ride and work to compete. Antics ensue.

Yeah I opted not to in grad school because I didn't think I'd be able to afford it. But that's exactly what happened with me having to go from a big circuit with mini prix's and gunning for it and turning on a dime to...nice and slow and going to the end of the ring over tiny jumps??? Yeah, not happening.

REINING however was a ton of fun! Especially on the horses that were really trained for it and could do the sliding slops and fast spins &etc. I really enjoyed that part of it and dropped the English competitions after a year of doing both.

I would LOVE to read that. IF YOU EVER DO WRITE IT AND NEED A BETA?? This is me volunteering.
