BSG stuff with a request to Americans, awards and wank, ongoing FAIL and lunatic ninja kangaroo

[misscam]

Good start of a Monday morning - waking up at 4 a.m. because the cat is sticking his paws into your face and wants to be fed. Gah. But I have survived the work-day and came home to some stuff that made me excited, yes.

So, can I bribe an American to get me this TV Guide? It'll be out Thursday in newsstands - I want the Adama/Roslin cover, naturally. (But what's with the hair, EJO?)

I'll cover your expenses for shipping it to me and all that jazz. *bats eyelashes at Americans on her flist* Unless you want something from Norway in exchange. That is also doable. ETA: Covered, thanks!

And hai, promo pics for Daybreak. Damn, I can't believe the finale starts this Friday. WAH MAH SHOW. How am I going to deal with it ending? There's not even a Doctor Who season this year that could distract me from missing BSG.

Speaking of Doctor Who, those awards with All the Reviewing Wank posted winners, and apparently time_and_chips won favourite community and me, lotus79 and marcasite were runners up as favourite mods. I must admit the awards has just left me a bit cold with everything that's been going on, but thanks to those who voted and all.

(I have such bad experiences with fanfic awards in general - I remember all the wank surrounding the HASA ones back in my Lord of the Rings days. I wasn't involved, but just watching it was exhausting. I'm beginning to think awards are wank invitations.)

Meanwhile, in the ongoing saga of FAIL of the Brazilian archbishop, the Vatican has come out in support. Because they're asshats, that's why.

In Australia, a man suffered scratched buttocks and shredded underpants after wrestling a kangaroo. As you do. I totally started laughing at the guy's comment: "My initial thought when I was half awake was, 'it's a lunatic ninja coming through the window'." Bwhahaha. Lunatic ninja kangaroo!

In other news:
- A chimp in a Swedish zoo 'planned' stone attacks. Some fascinating stuff in there. Also I love that it was in Sweden, just because.
- Obama ends ban on funding for stem cell research.
- EU to have crisis talks over General Motors' European plants.
- Craiglist sued over erotic ads.
- Italy revives controversial Sicily bridge plans.

I'll gladly send you a copy as soon as it comes out! That hair definitely needs to be shared, lol.

Doesn't it just?

Could you check for it on Thursday and send me a message here on LJ if you manage to get it? I'll send you my address then and we can sort out what you want for it.

[ishie]

No problem! I'm putting a reminder in my calendar right now :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thanks a million.

[mingsmommy.livejournal.com]

I can send you one.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

ishie offered just a bit before you, but could I have you as backup in case she's unable to get a hold of it?

[cutemaggie.livejournal.com]

sweetie if You will get the TV Giude can I ask about more pics :))))))) Ohhhhh awesome monday !!!!! indeed :))) *hugs*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm very sure someone will put it online. I won't get mine on Thursday since it'll have to be shipped to Norway, which takes a week at least. By then, someone is bound to have shared it already ;)

[cutemaggie.livejournal.com]

:)))) I hope so :)))) *hugs* My DEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Urgh. Well done, Catholic Church. You've just reached new levels of disgusting stupidity.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It is almost impressive, innit?

[broken-enemy.livejournal.com]

All I can do is groan. Seriously, I just can't expressive with words how bloody furious thing entire thing makes me.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know, I feel the same. Just... Run out of words and insults by now.

Lol, EJO looks like the phantom of the opera. OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS ENDING WOE.

the Catholic bishop saga is making me depressed I still call myself a Catholic (well, in name only, since so far I've disagreed with 99% of their policies :X). I think the Church will find they'll lose a lot of people over this, even conservative Catholics. Hopefully losing a chunk of their flock will make them rethink.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Now that would be some AU fanfic.

And YES WAH WOE WIBBLE.

The Vatican did recant over that Holocaust-denying bishop after public outcry, but I don't know, current leadership don't seem so keen on thinking in general.

[trialia]

*swoons* OMG, it's that suit again! *sighs wistfully* Heh, I may have to join you in asking my flist if I can bribe and pay to snag a copy from the US... I want!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That cover is a shiny, shiny thing, and damn, I want some 'souvenirs' of BSG, as it were.

[trialia]

SO SHINY YES.

I have some souvenir-type things... but I really, really want this. *lines up behind you*

Also, the Brazilian Catholic thing? That makes me so angry I lose words. How the fuck the Vatican can justify that to themselves...

I'm beginning to think awards are wank invitations

At least they're being renamed "favorites." MediaWest still gives out the "Fan Quality awards" which are just as much a popularity vote only for more fandoms and corresponding quantum leaps in wank.

As for that poor Brazilian girl and the nonsense surrounding her... I have no words at all. How can they pretend to have any moral relevance at this point?

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I totally believe that Aussie one. Roos can be effing vicious, especially the reds. I got attacked by one when I was a wee little thing and wouldn't go near them for years...

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

as for the pictures, I find this one particularly interesting; given that we rarely seem to see those two interacting unless it's quite antagonistic. (And I really love it when they are cooperating and not arguing or trying to shoot each other. There's not enough of that.)

hehe- I have the same problem with my cat. demonic creature.... he wakes me up in saturday morning at 5 am to feed him... grrrrhh.....

yeah, really- isn't Eddie's hair just a bit too long?
