sundries of breathing

[rm]

- After a big anxiety thing about money this morning, related to the very complicated way pay is calculated for one of my jobs, everything appears to be just fine. This is good, as this is the employment that allows the big frivolous things in our lives, including my custom clothes and our upcoming cruise.

- Patty's given me the go ahead on my little household art project.

- So hey, we just talked on the phone for a bit, which was really nice. I figure we'll talk on the phone only one or two more times while she's in Oman, and then she'll be home. It's warm here today, and I'm ready to be alive and in the world again, and while I'm perfectly capable of doing that on my own, it's hard to feel inspired, when I get the better, with her version soon.

- There's a fencing tournament coming up I'm not eligible to compete in, but I've just volunteered to judge at. This will be good for my return to fencing shortly there after. My body is less happy when it is less strong, and this an amazing discovery, really, when so much of my life, I thought merely to be delicate.

- Still _swamped_ with stuff, but feeling infinitely more capable about it all then I was 24 hours ago. That said, I'm seriously behind on responding to emails and PMs, but hope to be caught up in the next 24 hours. Yes, this is a message to many of you.

- Still waiting to hear about things of marginal bigness.

- Editing! I love being in edits. As much as I bitch about it, and I'm really happen with the new bit of fanfiction y'all that care will be seeing soon.

- Am vaguely amused by fandom folk mistaking John Barrowman's partner for Nathan Fillion; am charmed by the pictures of them kissing at the Priscilla premiere. Am notably less charmed by the fetishization of them or gay folk in general -- believe it or not, it is possible to find something arousing and yet also not reduce it to nothing more than how it amuses you. I'm asking too much of the Internets again, aren't I?

that's... special

Mmmm. I can see it from the top, I guess, but Mr. the Partner's kind of a vertically compacted Nathan Fillion. It's like if Fillion was on the old CDN$2 bill and one folded that bill in half down the face and then back out again.

Lots of things were narrower in the UK than North America when I lived there, so that makes more sense than it probably sounds like it does.

Random observation for the day.

I think if Nathan Fillion, Tobey McGuire and Jake Gyllenhaal all clubbed together and had a love child, you'd just about get Scott.

Tobey McGuire and Jake Gyllenhaal - they're kinda the same already aren't they?

i think tobey would play a really good serial killer

Tobey can ride a horse better (see Seabiscuit vs Brokeback). They're not far off the same, but thanks to Spiderman I can't see McGuire as anything other than a pure and dedicated power for nerdy goodness. He's like candy floss with a heart of edible gold. Gyllenhaal's candy floss centre is made of something else entirely, though I admit I'm not quite sure what at this point. I was gonna go with tabasco sauce, but now I'm thinking marmite, and now I'm thinking that I really think about these things far too hard.

This so should have been the twist at the end of Zodiac.

heh
it would have been an interesting twist, i got a little bored in the middle of that movie

TM just has that perfectly innocent and slightly confused look about him - it hides the darkness well
he'd be like the best serial killer ever, no one would suspect
