Presumed to be awesome.

This week has been INSANELY busy. But I can't complain too much because part of the insanity is that I'm trying to get ahead of a couple of projects since I'll be jumping this crazytrain next week for five days in Austin! OMG I can't wait!!!

In other craziness, I burned a huge pot of gumbo last night and this makes me very sad. :( I blame it on the mediocre pot I was using rather than my inattentiveness, but whatever, my gumbo was RUINED. *woe* And as if that weren't bad enough, my house still smells like smoke. Blech.

I have a question for the baseball fans on my flist. Hypothetically, if you were to make a list, possibly with accompanying photographic exhibits, of the Hottest Men of MLB -- (What? It's not as if these lists don't already exist in our heads!) -- who would make your list?

Speaking of hot men (as we do around these parts), not of the baseball playing variety:

( Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the Comedian may just be the death of me. )

( It was worth sitting through the People Choice Awards if only to see Shemar Moore looking incredibly sexy in glasses. )

My first Comic Con experience was made of much awesomeness. Given, however, that there was simply too much awesomeness to remember it all, combined with my level of sheer exhaustion, I don't believe it will be possible for me to adequately convey the fabulousness of my con experience. So instead, I give you highlights in bullet form, with a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. *g*

• Steven Moffat was hilarious and he may have converted me to a fan during the span of the Doctor Who panel.

• I was thoroughly charmed by the Torchwood cast. coolwhipdiva has a full report of their panel here.

( John Barrowman )

( Gareth David-Lloyd )

( Naoko Mori )

• Jacob Wyatt from Provo, Utah saved the day. He'll be happy to know that, his personal experience not with standing, he indeed had a fabulous time at Comic Con! *g*

• Grant Morrison is completely sexass with his brilliant and amusing brain, sharp dressing, bald head, and Scottish accent, and editorzon isn't the only one who wants to have his brilliant, bald headed, Scottish babies. *g*

• Due to some fortuitous ogling of a very hot police officer (the ogling of hot men was definitely a theme of the con) we were able to meet and talk to Rudy Reyes from Generation Kill. Holy hell that man is BUILT! He also gets extra awesome points for the hugs and kisses.

( Rudy Reyes with four very happy Hookers. )

• The Watchmen panel was awesome. The extended trailer looked amazing, just visually stunning. Everyone seems very invested in doing right by this movie. Also? Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a hotass. As is Patrick Wilson. Someone needs to write Jeff/Patrick porn for me, because together that's enough HOT to possibly make me spontaneously combust! *bites lip*

( The combined HOTASS-ness of Jeffrey and Patrick. )

( More JDM Hotness )

( Billy Crudup )

• ( John Barrowman really liked the dude dressed up as one of the 300 Spartan warriors. )

• We had a hell of a good time at the hotel bar with Guillermo the Latin Tea Boy and Zack the Bartender (also affectionately known as Super G and Z Man).

• The footage for Terminator Salvation looks FUCKING AMAZING!!! Seriously. I got goose bumps. I am so excited to see this movie now!!!

( McG and Sam Worthington )

( More Sam because he's hot like burning. )

( Moon Bloodgood and Anton Yelchin )

• We were walking around the dealers' room and suddenly Nathan Fillion is right in front of us. I'm happy to report that he was lookin' good.

( Nathan Fillion )

• For wrenlet: ( Some drive-by pics of Matt Dallas of Kyle XY )

• Jason Statham is a little bundle of sexass and the Death Race panel totally sparked my interest in movie.

• I had a great time walking around the floor and discovering new (or new to me) artists and writers. Also, a good time: ogling and flirting with what was surprisingly a plethora of hot men. *g*

• I never did make it to the Supernatural panel because I just didn't care enough to get up at the crack of dawn to get into what was a ridiculously long line. The closest we came to the boys was unexpectedly getting caught up in the mad crush of fangirls when Jensen came out to the floor to sign autographs. We got the hell out of there just as soon as we could.

• The absolute best part of Comic Con though was sharing the experience with good friends - _lisalisa_ (your pictures of Brian Austin Green have been my happy place all afternoon *g*), coolwhipdiva (you were missed terribly), dellastarr (I'm SO glad to have met you!!!), and the other two members of the Unholy Trinity, editorzon and azewewish (I think we probably all should come with a warning when we're together *g*). I had a blast and can't wait to go back next year!

It sure as hell wasn't a pretty win, but the Patriots pulled it out over the Chargers to win the AFC Championship and secure their ticket to Arizona in two weeks for the Super Bowl.



( Patriots, AFC Champs! )

Next stop: Super Bowl!!!
