Guess the book:
"It's a really good love story that has fantasy," said Emma Quan, 18. "It's like 'Harry Potter' plus romance plus good-looking people."

[info]_turtledove: *cackles*
[info]pocketnote: AUGH WHY! WHY ARE YOU EVEN READING THAT?
Brother: What's a Twilight?
[info]_turtledove: It's a teen vampire novel -
Brother: Oh wait, I know that book you're talking about.

Twilight was one of the books I fell into reading -- but whose fandom I haven't waded into -- while I was offline. I picked it up out of curiosity more than an actual interest in the book itself, especially after all the ONTD posts (sparkles and macros and all). A girlfriend said not to take it too seriously.

Oh, Jensen.

I know it's not as bad as, say, taking the lead role in Christmas Crotchage, but the weirdest comparison popped up in my head while looking at you in your Priestly glory.

Cut for 'Ten Inch Hero' spoilerphobes. Wait, are there any out there? )

Whatever. I still dig you boys. <3

Just when I think I couldn't dig Jared any more than I already do, he does a quickie interview about videogames. (Thanks to [info]indysaur for spotlighting this in her journal.)


Steph, you will appreciate this as much as I do -

TVGuide.com: Yeah, [the Wii is] addictive. And you can play all those old games.
Padalecki: [Laughs] Oh, no. It's good that you warned me. And you have to move your hands around to mimic the motion right? I'm jealous. Maybe I'll just play one of my buddies or something so I don't actually own one. I'm afraid my dogs won't get fed or walked and they'll be pooping in the house.

My game-geek was crowing quite happily as I read the interview, and just when I thought nothing could be more amusing than knowing Jared and Jensen spend quality time in Jared's trailer - there goes my thoughts, straight into dirty! territory - I am proven wrong. Now I don't feel quite as bad wasting so many hours on Guitar Hero II or wasting investing so much on videogames. Aw, I want to game with him.

My mom's got the cutest crush on Jensen Ackles, who she noticed in the "A Day in the Life of Jared and Jensen." She literally stopped in her tracks as Jensen chucked a dagger at the bull's eye inside his trailer.

She: Who's that?
Me: Jensen Ackles.
She: He's very handsome.
Me: Yes, he is.
She: ...Look at his eyes. Oh, oh. He's smiling.
*Jared comes onscreen, eats candy*
Me: Do you like him, too?
She: He's cool...but I like the other one better. So, tell me about this "Superstar" show.

Hee! XD

Finally got around to watching SPN 3x04 this weekend and was disappointed to find out that Summer Glau didn't have a guest spot after all. Shucks.

SPN spoilers under the cut. )

Quasi-fandoms colliding in VM )

Some Project Runway thoughts. Yeah, I'm only a week late. :p )

So much television the last few days (and non-related ficcing, oh, and actual work-work, ha), and I can't even be bothered to feel guilty about it. Because nothing caps off a day of confrontational appointments like hunkering down to watch Supernatural.

Spoilers under the cut - Supernatural, Project Runway, Veronica Mars. )

"The acting’s come along by accident. I’ve never trained or anything, so I’ve only very recently become even vaguely comfortable with it. On Harry Potter I was so conscious of the fact that I didn’t know what I was doing. I used to sit on the side of the set throwing up. I think I will go to drama school now, thought. I did a play which I got fired from in the West End, and I realised I need to learn some of the fundamentals – like how to act.”

Oh, Robert Pattinson. The things you say.
