Really really did not like "Coco Before Chanel." Audrey Tautou is gorgeous and I could have looked at her all day, but I found her character's motivations unfathomable, and I had no sense at all where Chanel's great talent and style came from, nor was there any sense of the force in design she would one day become.

This was nothing but an overblown romance that somehow reduced everything she did to being about some guy. Nauseating. I HATED it.

Beautiful, yes. But blech.

I wish someone would make the Chanel film that is in my head. Because this is DEFINITELY not it.

I've decided to spam you.

It's been too long since you had a good Ny-spam. teehee.

But this is my last tonight i promise.

Need a good rec? Last thanksgiving I hosted a Rec-a-thon. It was tons of fun. Here is the link to the awesome 2008 Thanksgiving Rec-a-Thon. Lot's of good fic if you are in need!

God I love Queer as Folk.

*sobs*

I should never watch Love Actually and QaF 101 and 513 in the same day. It turns me into a girlie sobbing omg love is beautiful mess.

Ok. nerilka24 and I just finished watching episodes 101 and 102 at qaf_marathons.

But it's not to late for you to join the squee.

You can either:

A)Watch it later and follow along with our comments while you do so and join in with them. The beauty of the internets. Conversations can take place over days.

Or you can B) Come join me at qaf_marathons in 30 minutes. At 10pm EST. For episode 512 and 513.

ETA: Nerilka had to go to bed. I will be on my own for 512 and 513. *sniffles*

Just a reminder We (hopefully it'll be a we and not just an I) will be watching the beginning and the end tonight at qaf_marathons.

I will get started at 8pm EST, watch 101 and 102 straight through. Then probably take a few minutes intermission and then watch 512 and 513 straight through starting at about 10pm EST.

Please join me! :D

And if you've never marathoned with me before just an fyi that I don't often get very deep with my comments, but you can feel free to. Or stay on the shallow end with me.

Why am I doing this? Because I have an urge to watch them both in one sitting and look at where they all started out and where they ended up without a ton of focus tonight on the hows and whys they got there.

I can't handle the crowds on Black Friday, and besides, my holiday shopping, such as it is, is done. (We're buying for the kids only this year, due to the financial problems of one of my brothers).

So my sisters in law and I are going to see "Coco Before Chanel," while my brothers and their sons do their manly, boy-ly thing without us. And then this evening, not_yet_defined is doing a marathon of 101-102 and 512-513 over at qaf_marathons, so that's what I'll be doing when I get home!

See you then!

This scene always makes me melt.

So much so that just hearing the song in my ipod at work makes me melt.

Are you permanently insane? First person on my flist to respond to this post by NOON EST will get a permanently insane account from me. If you are already permanently insane. You can gift the account to one of your favorite QaF asylums like qaf_drabbles or bj_action, or any QaF asylum you like.

In return. You must post at least one fandom post today as well. A drabble. A vid. Some icons. A discussion at qaf_coffeeclub. Whatever you like.

Happy Black Friday!

:D

Ready. Set. Go!

ETA: the most awesome besamislabios won! and generously gifted the account to bj_action in the hopes that it might see a little action soon. hmm...

Let's see..

Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, yams, ham, prime rib, cranberry sauce and deviled eggs.

I am 2 seconds from a nap.

Oh, and I'm in Oregon, and guess what???

It's raining. lol Ah, Oregon Liquid Sunshine, makes everything all green.

Hope everyone is having a great day, and if you don't celebrate...go stuff yourself anyway.

I love my flist. Many of you I've known for years, some just a few months. You guys make me laugh, make me think, make me crazy...and I wouldn't have it any other way.

*hugs teh flist*

Oh, and cause Mistress Bunny asked...

What Brian/Justin scene makes you melt?

There's several, but most of those are sexual. *g* However, this one is so schmooptastically delicious, you can't help but say, "Awwwwww."

I give you Chiquitita.


Shine once more, like you did before, sing a new song Chiquitita

The lyrics are very fitting for this scene, because Justin was still finding that thing that made him Sunshine. And Brian, well...Brian wanted to give him a dance that he'd remember.

Sigh.

Happy Turkey And Pie Day!!!
