It's like I forgot how to multi-task. LOL
I'm rushing around trying to get ready for my vacation (I leave on Sunday). Eventually, I'll be at this fabulous spa for a few days before heading to my sister's.
I CANNOT WAIT.
However, before I can go, I have so much to do. All the presents have to be wrapped and packed for them for xmas and my nephew's first birthday. I have to get the pet sitter in here so I can show her what she needs to do with Champ.
I have to finish laundry, pack, finish decorating the house for the holidays (so it's all done when I get home) and somewhere in all that, I MUST get my hair done. Oh and did I mention that I have to work too?
So, instead of focusing on all of this, I ordered myself a bday present, the BLACKBERRY CURVE 8330 and I got it in red...to match my car. ROFL. I'm just kidding, it was either that or orange and since I'm a diva, I went with red.
WOOHOO my enhanced license came so I can easily cross the border into Canada and back, so it's official, I've got all I need for the trip.
current mood: excited

Just a quick programing note, next week I am going to be out of town and kari77 has graciously offered to host the 108 marathon next Sunday night. So be super nice to her!

1:50p Reminder 107
I hope all the Americans had a wonderful Thanksgiving and everyone is having a great weekend. Just a quick reminder post about the Episode 107 marathon happening tomorrow at 8pm CET (2pm US east coast/11am US west coast)! I hope to see all of you there, and if you can't be there "live" then stop by later!
A quick programing note: I am going to be out of town next weekend (Sunday Dec 6). Is someone else willing to do the posting for the 108 marathon?

9:55p Coco Before Chanel: Thumbs down from me
Cross-posted at femme_asylum.
Really really did not like "Coco Before Chanel." Audrey Tautou is gorgeous and I could have looked at her all day, but I found her character's motivations unfathomable, and I had no sense at all where Chanel's great talent and style came from, nor was there any sense of the force in design she would one day become.
This was nothing but an overblown romance that somehow reduced everything she did to being about some guy. Nauseating. I HATED it.
Beautiful, yes. But blech.
I wish someone would make the Chanel film that is in my head. Because this is DEFINITELY not it.

1:12p CHANEL!
I can't handle the crowds on Black Friday, and besides, my holiday shopping, such as it is, is done. (We're buying for the kids only this year, due to the financial problems of one of my brothers).
So my sisters in law and I are going to see "Coco Before Chanel," while my brothers and their sons do their manly, boy-ly thing without us. And then this evening, not_yet_defined is doing a marathon of 101-102 and 512-513 over at qaf_marathons, so that's what I'll be doing when I get home!
See you then!

9:15p more of a general discussion than anything.
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all of the American members! This topic came up during a car ride home with my roommate, so it seems a relevant good wish to make before proposing it haha
SO ANYWAY. My roommate and I were talking, and we came to the conclusion that every sex scene that has ever been in QAF was used as some sort of plot device or has been important to a character arc. We tried to stump each other with this theory, but couldn't do it! So I need to bring it to the bigger table. They're all aesthetic, of course, haha, but: do you all agree with this unproven theory? Was there a point to every one? Or was this another thing Cowlip couldn't get consistent? Feel free to point out any that you can't see the bigger picture~ behind or whatever. This holiday weekend I'll need some good entertainment.
(AND SPEAKING OF LONG WEEKENDS, if any of the members here are into the RP scene here on IJ, a small group of people and I are trying to put together a group storyline that would take place in real time and because I don't want to openly waste room advertising when it's just a side note here: the information on that is all here, if anyone is interested.)

9:30a New Prompt!
I know everyone is busy writing for challenges and exchanges and stuff at the moment, but remember that the prompts here never expire and you can come back and write for them anytime!
So, I have the prompt it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Have fun ;)

12:07p What the Gusmas?
First, Happy Thanksgiving to all!
A couple of new fandom friends don't know the origin of the name of the current celebration in qaf_drabbles , "Gusmas," so I thought I'd explain.
Once upon a time, four fangirls wrote a story together, and the unbelievable url_girl illustrated it. (Well, we didn't write it, exactly -- it was divinely inspired, so it might be better said we channeled it.)
It was the story of Assbaby!Jesus (Gus for short), and of course, it's his birth we celebrate during the Solstikwanzanukkamas Season, which runs from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.
Be warned if you choose to read this fic; you're sure to end up on the bus to the hot place if you do.

6:31p Mini Marathon 11/27/09 at 8pm EST - 101, 102, 512, 513
I've decided I would like to watch the beginning and the end this friday night.
So if anyone would like to join me I'll be watching episodes 101, 102, 512 and 513. I will start around 8pm EST. I hope one or two of you will drop by and join me. It's not going to be very structured or as detailed as I get when I do the full series marathon. Just me taking a look at where everybody is when we first meet them and comparing that to where they are at the end. And no doubt some squeeing.
So if you like, stop on by. I'll probably be there most of the night!!
