Presumed to be awesome.

World Cup: What the hell is that annoying buzzing noise??? I drives me insane! No, like, really, I will go on a murderous rampage if I have to continue listening to that brain piercing droning. So, unless I want to cut my soccer fannishness short only 2 days into World Cup play, I think I'll have to start making prodigious use of the mute button. But in less grumptastic World Cup musings, dear gods, Tim Howard, thank you for gracing my television screen with your unbelievable hotness today. You can definitely stay. *g*

Reading: I'm reading Josh Lanyon's "The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks." I continue to love his characters like Dean loves pie! They are quirky and insightful and smart and interesting and flawed and just completely CHARMING!

Feathers: In addition to several gorgeous feather necklaces and hair accessories, made by the lovely and talented Chantala, I now also have a completely fabulous blue and black feather boa! *laughs* It is both awesome and ridiculous! I now need someplace equally awesome and ridiculous to wear said feather boa!

Workout: My trainer kicked my ass today and I'll probably be terribly sore tomorrow, but for now I just feel the good kinda tired.

That about covers my Saturday. It's been relaxing and lovely. Just as Saturdays should be.

The betterness continues, which is exceedingly happy-making because I was quite done with feeling the like undiluted misery. It's also happy-making because it means that I will be taking my measurably less-sick self over to Mill Avenue after work to catch The Daylights show!!! Exciting indeed!

I know I'm late with the flaily-ness, but OMG WHITE COLLAR!!!!!!!! The season finale was so good! Neal and Peter and Elizabeth continue to be made of so much awesomeness, I can hardly take it! And, GAH, that last scene KILLED me! Oh, boys! *loves and loves* I'm so far behind on life, do we know if it's been renewed for a second season? Please someone tell me there will be more Neal and Peter and Elizabeth in my future!!!

Speaking of things which are awesome, have y'all seen these smokin' hot pics of Alexander Skarsgard in the L.A. Times Magazine??? Jfc. How is it possible that he seems to just get hotter and hotter??? Eventually you'd think that he'd max out the sexiness quotient, but that day has obviously not arrived.

Before I get back to my seemingly endless To Do list, let's talk about baseball for a minute. First the good: it is fantastic to see that Conor Jackson is back and looking healthy and strong again, after going down hard almost all last season with a nasty case of Valley Fever. I missed his hotass self on the field and I'm very happy that he's back! Also of the good, my bb Chris Snyder hit a home run in today's game! He's going to have to battle for game time, so this makes me more happy than it probably would if we didn't have an idiot for a manager who doesn't seem to understand the importance of a smart defensive catcher. Annnnyway. Yay, Chris! :) Of the not so good: Brandon Webb. He's likely to start the season on the DL. This is very much No Bueno! Been there, done that, had the craptastic season to prove it. We do not a repeat, thankyouverymuch. So frustrating! Especially since it seems to be more of mental thing at this point rather than a physical impairment. Dear Brandon, please to be getting your shit together. Sooner rather than later would be most helpful.

Alrighty then. Aren't y'all glad baseball is back??? Yeah, I knew you missed my baseball related ramblings. *g*

1. Was it just me or was this like the longest Tuesday ever??? Jeezus this day just dragged on forever. It probably didn't help that I was running on about 3 hours of sleep, had a massive migraine going, and really only wanted to be home reading Kris/Adam fic and watching video of their interviews. But seriously this day was like 3 weeks long. *sigh*

Join. Watch. Pimp.

3. While we're on the topic: The Epic KrAdam Bromance Guide for Idiots. Go on. Click it. The sheer awesomeness and glee contained in that one post cannot be textually rendered!!! I dare you not to be completely charmed by these boys!

4. Now while that post is brimming with awesomeness, it is admittedly a bit Kris-centric. So, let me balance out the scales a bit with some additional Adam love. I'm not sure if I can properly describe the fabulousness of one Adam Lambert. Seriously. This boy is fuckin' FIERCE. He says shit like "I'm gonna top you like whipped cream on IHOP pancakes"!!! Now I KNOW that you bitches can appreciate a man who speaks these kinds of endearments! *g* (Speaking of, this REALLY needs to be on an icon!)

( Additional pictorial evidence of Adam's fabulousness. )

5. I know that we're all horribly disappointed by today's California Supreme Court ruling on the validity of Prop. 8. I've read the opinion and I could probably talk about what I think of the legal reasoning behind the decision. But, really, do we need more legalese blah blah blah at this point? I don't think so. At least I don't. What I'd like instead is a little damn hope. So, here. Have a song that made me cry the first time I heard him perform it:

Adam Lambert covers Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come (studio version)

Be good to each other people. *mwah*

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. )

Today's happeh-making happenings:

1. One of my January trials got continued for two weeks, which frees up January to manageable levels and which may even allow me to take a long weekend out of town mid-month! I think I may be going to visit annkiri in Austin! \o/

2. Frosty the Snowman was on t.v. this evening! It's still on of my favorite holiday cartoons!

3. I had a most delicious cream puff for dessert! Yum! It was entirely decadent and scrumptious.

4. A hot aromatherapy bag is currently working it's magic on the tension headache that plagued me all day. *relieved sigh*

5. azewewish posted these pictures of Viggo Mortensen and Jason Isaacs this morning and they have definitely been my happy place all day:



( More Viggo and Jason HOTNESS under the cut )

I am SO keeping Jason, my massage therapist from yesterday. OMG that was 90 minutes of PURE BLISS! And, man, did I ever need it. My back and neck haven't felt this good in weeks. With an awesome massage, a pedicure, a good dinner and a couple glasses of wine, relaxation was definitely successfully achieved! \o/

Today has unfortunately involved too much work with all this last minute trial prep. But at least I've had season two of One Tree Hill to intermittently distract me. Why is it that I find Chad Michael Murray's shaved head so hot??? *facepalm*

Speaking of finding HOT in the strangest of places. My mom has this inexplicable obsession with home improvement and gardening shows. She watches HGTV and the DIY Network all the time. I occasionally mock her because she rarely does any of the home improvement projects. She just likes to watch the shows and make plans for projects that almost never get done. Anyway. All this is to say that I think I finally understand her obsession with these shows. Apparently, some of the guys who host these shows are really hot. Take, for example, ( Carter Oosterhouse )

So, yeah. I might have to take up watching these home improvement shows. Apparently there's a good deal of eye candy educational programming I've been missing. *g*
