Presumed to be awesome.

A few days ago azewewish posted a Hot Chicks with Magnificent Racks picspam and it is, like the women it features, a thing of beauty! It seemed to me only appropriate that we continue with the Hot Chick Appreciation. Because, really, there can never be enough waxing poetic about beautiful women. So here are some of my current girlcrushes. Enjoy! And, by all means, feel free to continue the Hot Chick Appreciation by sharing pictures of your favorites! *g*

Well, now that was a pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning. *g*

I played hooky from work yesterday afternoon and today. Technically I took some sick time; although I wasn't sick, per se, but rather annoyingly headachey and suffering a pretty severe case of the blahs. Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the actual medical diagnosis.

But the extra down time meant that I was finally able to get caught up with Legend of the Seeker, which continues to be mental fluff but still good times, and Supernatural, which, really, ( y'all sure you want to know what I thought? ) I still need to catch up on White Collar and the last episode of Sons of Anarchy, but I've definitely made some progress with the DVR.

The case of the blahs meant that I didn't go out on Friday night like I had planned to do. And because I was home, I ended up having the most surreal chat with an ex-boyfriend. Seriously, it had been almost ELEVEN YEARS since I'd talked to him and out of nowhere he pops up on my chat screen. Surreal doesn't even begin to explain it. But it was good to be able to have a conversation and realize that all the hurt feelings that had festered for so long really were gone. It's just good to get confirmation that all the Work, really has yielded results. Still, fucking surreal. *shakes head*

In other news, dance is going quite fabulously. We've choreographed a completely kickass swing to "For Your Entertainment." Which also happens to be completely on crack. Holy bananas that beat is fast! But so fun! I can't wait to perform it next week. Best of all, though, dance is gong fabulously because it really centers me and connects me to all parts of myself. I love that! More, I need that!

Who am I kidding though with all this updatey stuff? The real news is that ADAM LAMBERT'S FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT VIDEO IS FINALLY AVAILABLE!!!!!! *flails*

So hot out the box!!! I love it!!! *flails more*

Also, in an only marginally related note, is it silly that it fills me with absolute glee to see that Adam is wearing the same Nicolina Royale necklace that I have in one of his album pictures? Silly or not, So. Much. GLEE!!!

1. I have a job interview tomorrow at noon for that judicial clerkship I've going on about lately. I really want this job. I cannot stress that enough. Really. Want. This. Job. So, if you could spare a good thought or two, or, you know, how ever many you might have available, I would certainly appreciate any positive job mojo you could direct this way. *takes a deep breath and soaks up the good job mojo*

2. Tomorrow, after said job interview, I think I'm taking Rianna to a spring training game. She's on spring break and when I asked her what she wanted to do on her Hanging Out with Tía Gigi Day, she picked baseball from her several options. That's my girl! *g*

3. We were just talking about Merlin on NBC this weekend, and it looks as if there has finally been a date set for that happy occurrence. On June 21st there will finally be Arthurian goodness on my television!!! *bounces*

4. I finally watched last week's Supernatural and got caught up with Legend of the Seeker. While my enjoyment of Supernatural remains unchanged, my fannishness seems to have inexplicably waned, such that I don't really feel compelled to talk about the show. *shrugs* Yeah, I really don't know either. Legend of the Seeker, though, continues to be fluffy fun times. Although I was a bit sad that Richard did not take off his shirt in this last episode. What is this craziness??? I prefer my Seeker shirtless, please!

5. Still unwatched and waiting patiently on my DVR are the last three episodes of Battlestar Galactica, last week's Friday Night Lights, and the premier of Kings (which I'm hearing SO many good things about and I can't wait to watch!). But, unless I can manage some unheard of productivity between now and Thursday, these shows will probably remain unwatched until I get back next week.

6. I leave for California on Friday, for at least 5 days and possibly up to 9 days of FUN TIMES! There's a whole long weekend full of various shenanigans planned with the Texas Boy. And then I'll have some time to spend with my girls, which will be awesome, not only because THEY are awesome, but because it has been a long time since I've seen some of them! I'm leaving my return trip unplanned for now, in hopes that I'll know more about the job situation by then and will feel better about staying the whole week. But YAY!!! California here I come! *beams*

7. I'm watching Dancing with the Stars tonight as I get some work done and finalize my writing sample. So far my observations include only the fact that Dmitry has adorable dimples and a very sexy backside. He's hot coming and going!

Today was an incredibly productive day -- I whipped through significant portions of this week's To Do list. Sadly, however, I still have approximately one bazillion things to do before I leave for Austin Thursday morning! *panics* It would also please me greatly if I can make time for a good workout and a Nia class this week, but that might be asking a lot of the 50 or so hours until I fly out. I am, however, still hopeful that my Time Management Super Powers will kick in to high gear this week.

I watched the newest Legend of the Seeker episode today. ( All I have to say about that is this... ) Please tell me I'm not the only one who found that ridiculously HOT! *bites lip*

In other shiny t.v. news, several shows will be back on our television screens this week -- Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica, and Friday Night Lights (for us without DirectTV). This is all VERY EXCITING!!!

Let's see. What else? Oh, yes. Apparently Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen really are engaged to be married now. I guess Tom had to salvage something out of what was otherwise a complete mess of a season. Good for them both. They are ridiculously hot individually, and together it's almost more pretty than is cosmically possible. So, yeah, I hope they continue to be happy being pretty together!

(Also. Man, I missed using my Tom Brady icon this season!!! Marital status not withstanding, I really hope he's healthy and back on the field come August!)

And, apparently, I like my gum in fruity flavors! In other words, I just watched the first two episodes of Legend of the Seeker and I loved every cheesetastic minute of it! *g*

( Legend of the Seeker )

It's definitely the bubble gum of fantasy adventure shows -- there's nothing particularly original about this hero's journey, but it's pretty to watch and, most importantly, highly entertaining! I approve! \o/

I also finally got caught up on Sons of Anarchy. Damn. I'm loving this show so much! ( Some spoilery talk about SoA. )

But, more than anything, I LOVE GEMMA!!! She is such a bad ass! Strong, and fierce, and loyal, and still incredibly fucked up and meddling. She's awesome! *loves*

In non-tv related ramblings, I'm sure that some day the sheer awesomeness of having Barack Obama as our next President might stop making my giddy with joy, but today is not that day.

That is why I bring you ( spontaneous anthem singing FTW! )

*chokes up* I swear, there hasn't been a day since Tuesday that I haven't cried happy tears.

Also, lots of heart-warmingly awesome pictures of the Obama family on election night.

And in a fit of optimism, I contacted my Congressman to beg respectfully ask for inauguration tickets. (I considered asking my Senator instead, but decided that would be like cruelly rubbing salt in an open wound. Amusing, indeed, but I'm sure the irony would be lost on the staffer holding the tickets.) The chances of actually getting any such tickets are about the same for me winning the lottery, but you can't win if you don't play, right? *hopeful*

How did I not know of this show before today??? Legend of the Seeker, based on The Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind, and directed by Sam Raimi, is scheduled to premier in national syndication on November 1st!



From IMBD:
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help...and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword-to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed...or that their time has run out. This is the beginning. One story. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

( Here's the trailer: )

It seems potentially cheestastic, but also quite possibly FABULOUS!!! (What? I watch One Tree Hill, I obviously have NO SHAME when it comes to my television entertainment.)

Also important to note, this is Craig Horner, the Australian hotass, who plays the male lead:



Has anyone read the Sword of Truth books? Should I? Should I not? Anyone else looking forward to the t.v. series? Anyone still watching Xena reruns? *g* Talk to me about Legend of the Seeker people!!!!!
