Stephanie's boyfriend Joe pointed out recently that sporks without the middle two tongs look like Batman, and I just happen to own several sporks, which led to this being made at 3 AM:

HOW COOL ARE WE

Chess in stick figures: Act 1

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:34:12 GMT

I started this as a joke for a friend of mine, and it took on a life of its own. I now have all of Act One of Chess in Concert in comicbook stick-figure form. Oh yes.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS BLACK AND WHITE

So that's that. Part two is coming eventually, I promise.

HELL YES

SO GUESS WHO CHILLED OUT WITH THE FLYING CAR FROM CHAMBER OF SECRETS TODAY

ME. I DID. BITCHES BE JEALOUSSSSS

I am only mildly obsessed with this song

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:57:09 GMT

I am usually quite vocal about my dislike for Nelly Furtado (she sounds like Rosie Perez auditioning for American Idol IMO) but she's not so nasal in this one, and plus, Groban sounds like a GOD OF SEX as usual. Fodder for my radio show? Yes please. I'll link you all up to the webcast once I get started... exciting stuff.

Off to the gym now, later loves.

Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie
Which we ascribe to heaven: the fated sky
Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.
What power is it which mounts my love so high?
That makes me see, and cannot feed mine eye?
The mightiest space in fortune nature brings
To join like likes and kiss like native things.
Impossible be strange attempts to those
That weigh their pains in sense and do suppose
What hath been cannot be: who ever strove
So show her merit, that did miss her love?
The king's disease--my project may deceive me,
But my intents are fix'd and will not leave me.

-Helena, All's Well That Ends Well

Romantic top ten!

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:53:17 GMT

Stolen from xjustadoreher

Post your top 10 favorite romantic scenes and/or ships from TV or film.

HONORARY MENTION
Grey's Anatomy: Callie and Arizona

there may be hope yet...

10. NCIS: The Elevator

Not necessarily romantic, and I can't say I'm not totally crushed that they didn't make Ziva a lez, but this is the scene that made me okay with her and Tony. I'm not sure why, but I looooove it.

9. Wicked: As Long As You're Mine

I don't actually ship Elphaba/Fiyero (I'm still convinced that Elphie and Glinda were totally gay for each other) but I do love this song.

8. OKAY I KNOW I'M A HUGE FREAKING DORK FOR THIS ONE BUT I JUST HAD TO PUT IT BECAUSE I'VE LOVED IT FOREVER SO PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME TOO HARSHLY
Lizzie McGuire: Lizzie and Gordo

IT WAS MY FIRST SHIP, OKAY?! THE FACT THAT I CAN RECITE ALMOST EVERY LINE ALONG WITH THE MOVIE IS IRRELEVANT

7. How I Met Your Mother: Barney and Robin

bahahahaha they fail so much

6. House: Chase and Cameron

They are so hot together. As I've often said, double your pleasure, double your fun.

5. Imagine Me & You: Rachel and Luce

"BOOM! Hold that thought."

4. Frasier: Niles and Daphne

too many moments to count, but this is a good one

3. Titanic: Jack and Rose

always a classic

2. Garden State: End

I want to hate this movie so hard because it's just so... "OMG are they serious? I can't tell if this is a joke" but just I can't, and this scene makes me happy for reasons I don't understand

1. Grey's Anatomy: Callie and Erica's First Date (before and after)

I'm so mad at Grey's Anatomy over how they treated this story... it could've been really good. They've been sucking lately, but at least there's this.

Damn it, I want to watch ALL OF THESE now... oh well, at least I'll have something to do over break now.

oh. my. josh.

MY LIFE IS SO AWESOME RIGHT NOW... THERE IS A JOSH GROBAN THEMED EPISODE OF THE SIMPSONS.

celeb crushes

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:25:55 GMT

Stolen from xjustadoreher because, let's face it, I'm an enormous fangirl.

Rules:
01. Compose a list of YOUR top ten (or however many) famous people to crush on.
02. Collect one picture of each person.
03. Post them in your journal, #10 to #1.
04. Do the same if you'd like. Whatever.

Honorary Mention: Clay Aiken

I love you Clay. LOVELOVELOVELOVE

10. Charlotte Martin

her eyes and her music make me melt

9. Nicol Paone

gay, funny, hot, and able to play a young gender-confused British boy who wants nothing more than to get a vagina with his unicorn Trixie. I'm pretty sure it doesn't get much more "my type" than that.

8. Natalie Portman

omg... just, omg

7. Keira Knightley

You can swash my buckle, honey. Just maybe eat something first.

6. Kim Stolz

gotta love her with the long, dark hair

5. Tina Fey

glasses + smart + funny too = awesome

4. Miranda Kerr

First Australian Victoria's Secret model. 'nuff said.

3. Chase and Cameron from House (together)

Double your pleasure, double your fun.

2. Cote de Pablo

She kicks ass and looks soooo good doing it. Gotta respect that.

1. Josh Groban.

Let's face it. The man is a god.

quick 'n' dirty

Hi! So pretty much everything you need to know about me is explained in my user info, but the short version of my story is this:

You probably know me as either comicalcrisis or fanatic6 but ever since I became completely deprived of reason on both of them, I don't really feel comfortable using either.

My real name is Briana, and if you're reading this you probably already know me which is why I have no problem giving you my real name.

I probably won't post much, but I'm sure I'll at least be around, so drop me a line.
