snap your fingers for me

For fuck's sake. When it is 5:00 P.M. in December and thus pitch black outside, and you're wearing a camouflage coat and standing at one of the busier intersections in the city, it is not a good idea to run across three lanes of traffic right after their light has turned green. For the love of fuck, wait for the walk signal, or at least, oh I don't know, a red light.

This message brought to you by the fact that I came really, really close to hitting a pedestrian on my way home from work. Dude bolted in front of me out of nowhere (and how the hell he made it across the lane to my left, I still don't know, but the SUV beside me blocked him from my view til it was almost too late); dude froze up in the middle of the lane and held his hands out toward my car, like he'd be able to stop it superhero-style. I slammed on the brakes and my front bumper stopped no more than a couple inches from his legs.

I honestly don't even remember seeing him run the rest of the way across the street after that. I mean, he must have, because I was able to keep driving afterward and I didn't, you know, hit anything. I think I whited out a little bit? I remember the two of us staring at each other across my hood, his shocked face lit by the headlights, and then the next thing I remember, I was at the next red light about 500 feet up the road.

Then my hands shook the whole way home and I raided the liquor cabinet. THE END.

Someone at kurt_blaine made a speculative post about @FreePavarotti last night, which somehow led to me banging out 3000 words of Glee RPF at three in the morning. I have never written RPF in my life and it usually makes me uncomfortable. What is this fandom doing to me??

(While I am at it: I wrote Kurt/Blaine sexytimes a while back and was too embarrassed to post it here, but I'm running on about two hours of sleep for the third night in a row and I'm kind of tanked off godawful whiskey shots, so I couldn't care less about my paranoia problems right now. SO HERE. I am probably going to regret both of these links after I sleep, but for now: NO SLEEP TIL BROOKLYN SHAME.)

Tweet Tweet Chirp, Glee RPF, Chris Colfer + Darren Criss + Warblers shenanigans
Somebody at E! Online catches wind and bangs out a quick blurb about the account mid-morning, and when Chris checks after lunch, Pavarotti has 10,000 Twitter followers.

How to Break the Spell, Glee (already totally jossed, as I knew it would be), Kurt/Blaine
Kurt knows he should really get home after an entire afternoon spent at Blaine's house, but Blaine can be pretty persuasive when he puts his mind (and his guitar) to it. (Technically not work-safe.)

I don't know! I found Sue much more entertaining in the first part of the first season; when there was still shock value to the things that she said. It used to be, "I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE JUST SAID THAT." Now it is "Oh, Sue." Jane Lynch is amazing, but I tend to prefer Sue's horrible and/or morally ambiguous moments. I like her best as the villain. So mostly, my list of "favorite Sue moments" consists of "favorite Sue one-liners." I loved her assertion to Kurt that liking show tunes didn't make him gay; it just made him horrible.

Can I just skip this one? Please? Sue's scenes make me laugh in the moment but don't really tend to stick with me in the long run. I seriously can't think of anything here.

OH WAIT YES I CAN

Favorite Sue Sylvester moment: Sue becoming Emma's stand-up-for-yourself mentor

I don't remember what the hell episode it was in or when it happened or really even why (Madonna, maybe?? I've seen the back 13 episodes from season 1 one time each: when they aired. then I never watched them again because they were mostly really bad. so I don't have the best memory for them), but I remember that there was a part where Sue was like FUCK THAT, ERMA. GIRL POWER. YOU TELL THAT CURLY-HAIRED KEEBLER ELF WHO'S BOSS, and while the subsequent "SLUT SLUT SLUT SLUT" outburst was problematic in its own right, the fact that Sue Sylvester was the one to prompt it was pretty delightful.

I can't rewatch the scene without wanting to claw my face off, because I remember the context and it makes me think of what Will Schuester thought was a Rilly Gr8 Solution to the Beiste problem in this episode, but this is my honorable mention for favorite Sue Sylvester moment:



I can't write Sue Sylvester worth a damn; we're skipping the accompanying drabble today!

On the subject of Glee -- the spoilers that are coming from extras currently on-set for the post-Super Bowl episode are so amazingly ridiculous. Like, taking the show's usual absurdity and rocketing it up about sixteen levels.

I want it to (A) snow, and (B) be Christmas. I want both (A) and (B) for many reasons (like: three-day weekend! family time! traditions! yuletide! SNOW IS AWESOME!), but mostly because I got to pick out Christmas gifts last week and I know that there are ridiculous L.L. Bean snow boots and slippers waiting for me. I want it to snow so that I can wear the boots, and I want it to be Christmas so that I can have them!

Mostly I just really want the slippers. It was 10 degrees today; the hardwood floors in this house are like Antarctica.

BOOTS.



(They are less goofy-looking when you don't roll them down at the top.)

SLIPPERS.



(Only mine are berry with pale pink laces.)

(My feet are so cold, man; I'm wearing three pairs of socks.)
