I want to have Aaron Sorkin's babies

I went to Target today. I want these shoes like MAD. Except of course they didn't have them in size 11. But, really, how utterly wonderful is it that the whole Keds/Converse plan canvas sneaker look has come back in? I find shoes very tricky, cause I hate heels and strappy sandals and I think pretty much all girly shoes are shoddy, overpriced torture devices and by god I hate the beauty trap because I do NOT HAVE the money for that shit. But it's nice to have cute shoes. And colorful ballet flats and canvas sneakers seem to be my strategy. Yaay!

Kevin McKidd told TV Guide about the mytharc for Journeyman. I could WEEP. That shit could have been SO GOOD. And Kevin! I miss having him on my TV, but I am sure as hell not going to start watching Grey's Anatomy for him. Journeyman... and then SGA and now Pushing Daisies. What will be left? I could weep. Seriously, if anybody knows of a genre show that actually has a future that I should be watching, please do let me know. Other than the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Maybe Fringe? I'm unenthusiastic about that. Bleh. Why do they kill all the good stuff?

( I've been re-watching The West Wing )

So now I have to plundercrack_van for CJ/Toby. I didn't read TWW fic before, because I didn't think fic could do it justice. I've gotten a lot more confidence in fic since then.

Utterly random: Kavan Smith (SGA, Major Evan Lorne), Colin Cunningham (SG1, Major Paul Davis), and Mark Feuerstein (TWW, Majority Counsel Cliff Calley) make the best sexy clean-cut all-American boy-next-door threesome EVER. Really.  Pretty. 

Christmas card list

Please let me send you a card. I like doing it. I don't have a lot of (any) money to send presents to the people I want to, but I can do this and I know so many fabulous people on lj that it's nice to think there's something actually physical getting exchanged, you know?

Never fear, I send sparkly holiday season cards of no religious content. Or I will send you a Hanukkah card instead, if I know I should (I am likely to be oblivious unless you tell me, but I have the best of intentions. I swear).

The Christmas list meme

Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

( My list )

Well, let's do this thing.

Normally I do all this Christmas stuff the day after Thanksgiving (because that is when Christmas starts. Don't let the damn department stores tell you otherwise!). I write the Christmas list, assemble the card list, and put the Christmas playlist on my iPod the day after Thanksgiving. This ritual is important to me. But it seems that this year I shall not be home the day after Thanksgiving, so I'm doing it all now. Pretend this isn't happening for another five days, because I am not one of those people who starts Christmas before Halloween!

So, a holiday season in two parts:

One, the card list. Please let me send you a card.

Second, the wish list meme. Please link me to yours if you wrote one, as I'm likely to be oblivious about that too.

Okay. Flist spammage done.

*rings the ceremonial gong*

That's it. Holiday season!
