    Wicked
    Does anybody know where I can get a copy of Wicked? I really want to see this. I've looked in the usual places for torrents but no luck.

    men to gawp at
    You may have heard about the "scandal" of Men's Health magazine recycling their covers. I don't think it's a scandal per se, but it does make for some really hot gifs of said covers. The one with the "amazing new plan to lose you gut" has Chris Pine in the mix.

    Here's the story

    for the beautiful snowflake cookie. It made me smile and if you read my previous post you can see I needed to smile.

    This story begins 11 years ago when my then 19 yr old son Reece met 16 yr old Kim. She was pregnant by another guy at the time. Now the thing you need to know about Reece is that he wants to save the world. So of course they got married. In a strip mall courthouse in the middle of the afternoon. The bride wore overalls. The groom camo cut-offs. Her family didn't show up. A few months later Dakota Rae Kern was born. I pointed out to Kim that she had named her son a girls name but she didn't seem to mind and Reece never said no to her about anything.

    So now we're gonna flash over the next 9 years of marriage. 9 years of Reece working 75-80 hours a week to support Kim while she stayed home and complained. Oh, she was good at complaining, but not much else. Reece cleaned the house and when he wasn't working he watched the baby. There is alot more about how horrible and stupid stuff Kim did but honestly, if I didn't know it was true facts I wouldn't believe it. Like how she inherited $500,000.00 when her father died but spent it all in 6 months and had her mother placed in a group home. Granted, her mother is insane, but obviously Kim is too. Oh, I forgot to mention that in all this time while Cody is growing up, he doesn't know that Reece isn't his natural father.

    So on Christmas Eve 2 years ago Kim tells Reece that she has been having an affair with his best friend Michael. And every other man they have known for the last 9 years and some women. This list was supposed to include my daughter's husband TJ. That part turned out not to be true, but the shit hit the fan that Christmas, which is I'm sure what Kim wanted to happen. And it totally ruined Christmas for Cody. Christmas and his life.

    Ok, now it's the spring of this year and Reece meets Emily. Emily has a 5 year old albino daughter. Seriously folks, you can't make this shit up. Short story, Emily and Reece are now gonna have a baby in March, but Emily refuses to watch Cody.

    Oh shit. I forgot that part. When Reece and Kim split the only thing Reece demanded was Cody. Occasionally Kim and Michael will watch him but Reece has custody. He has busted his ass for the last 2 years working and raising Cody by himself. My husband and I have helped when we could, but Reece did most of the work.

    There have been some hiccups with these arrangements. Like the week after Thanksgiving when Cody didn't get Kim a piece of pie when he got his own and she flipped out and wanted to have him committed like she did her Mom. Cody called his Dad hysterical but Kim said Reece couldn't see him anymore. Since Reece isn't his biological father Kim keeps holding that over his head and using it when ever she wants. Cody doesn't know that Reece isn't his "real" Dad. Reece doesn't have a lot of money so he can't afford a lawyer. Kim gets a free one because she is a minority, half Vietnamese. Then again last week she lost it again and threw Michael and their new baby Nora out. Nora is 8 months old. Again we got the phone call from Cody crying and worried about his little sister.

    But the punch line to this story is Cody is coming to live with me and my husband Pat next week. I thought I was through raising kids. I wanted to be through raising kids, but I can't leave them in the situation they're in. So we're cleaning out our spare room and turning it into Cody's bedroom.

    If you got this far, thanks for reading. I just needed to get this off my chest.

    Star Trek Christmas
    While looking for Christmas Decorations I finally found my Star Trek Ken and Barbie that I've been looking for forever. I also found my Captain Kirk ornament. I have no idea where the rest of the Trek ornaments are. I used to have a bunch of ships, Romulan, Klingon and of course the Enterprise. Oh, and a shuttle craft that had Spock wishing me long life and prosperity. It was totes cool.

    Of course there are still a lot of boxes that we haven't gone through since coming back from Japan, so maybe by next year I can find everything.

    cereal
    Why does the phone always ring right after you pour the milk in the cereal?

    But anyway, Kellogg's has a promotion where they are giving Star Trek Beam-Up badges!

    http://www2.kelloggs.com/Promotion/PromotionDetail.aspx?PID=17496

    I have two! Yay! Both Klingon. Boo!

    They are kinda lame, just a little flashlight shaped like a Star Trek insignia, but I must have the Starfleet Command badge. I must. lol. They have Starfleet Command, Starfleet Science, Starfleet Engineering, Klingon Empire and Romulan Empire. BTW, my computer knows the word Klingon, but not Starfleet or Romulan. As Spock would say....Fascinating.

    I figured there was somebody out there as big a Star Trek geek as me. We have to have each others backs, because we are a special, rare breed.

    A Hot Fuzz love story as posted on Twitter by Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost
    @edgarwright
    That was not just TV gold. That was TV platinum. Has anyone written John & Edward slash fiction yet? Apart from themselves, that is.

    @simonpegg
    @edgarwright Jeez and you had a pop at me for reading Twilight!

    @edgarwright
    Me and @simonpegg once wrote some Nicholas Angel and Danny Butterman slash fiction. It was called HOT FUZZ...(applause)

    @simonpegg
    @edgarwright You've still got it Edgar. I don't care what anyone says.

    @edgarwright
    You want HOT FUZZ slash fiction? You got HOT FUZZ slash fiction. http://bit.ly/EU8SY Enjoy...

    @simonpegg
    RT @edgarwright: You want HOT FUZZ slash fiction? You got HOT FUZZ slash fiction. http://bit.ly/EU8SY Enjoy. I don't know how to feel.

    @rocketeevee
    @simonpegg feel happy that you created characters people feel so strongly about:)

    @simonpegg
    @rocketeevee Please don't mistake my faint arousal for discomfort.

    @simonpegg
    All power to the slashers I say. I'm deeply flattered that anyone would take mine and @edgarwight's balls and run with them.

    @edgarwright
    @megaleena RT @nickjfrost: not sure why you'd post this? << I concur! It's not even *good* slash! - The search in on for better HF slash...

    @simonpegg
    All power to the slashers I say. I'm deeply flattered that anyone would take mine and @edgarwright's balls and run with them.

    @edgarwright
    If someone can find slash fiction about Eddie Yorque and Dougall from BBC Scotland, I will get quite hot and bothered...

    @edgarwright
    @simonpegg I too am deeply flattered by the slashers. I say all power to handstitched homoerotica.

    @edgarwright
    I have been sent several links to apparently much filthier HOT FUZZ slash fiction. I have not clicked..as yet.

    @edgarwright
    More HOT FUZZ slash fiction for those who enjoy Angel & Danny's stolen glances... http://joandarck.greekedtex...

    @edgarwright
    I think I have opened a lusty can of worms...

    @simonpegg
    @edgarwright "said Danny as he unbuttoned Angel's police issue riot suit"

    @nickjfrost
    @simonpegg stop It!

    @simonpegg
    @nickjfrost "said Angel", not meaning a damn word of it.

    @edgarwright
    @simonpegg @nickjfrost ...Danny gripped his extendable Asp. It could do some serious damage in the right hands.

    @simonpegg
    Whatever happens it will end with them firing their guns in the air and saying "aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh".

    @nickjfrost
    @simonpegg "That's a lovely big truncheon." said Danny. (sound of slide whistle.) the end.

    @simonpegg
    @nickjfrost (shushes Nick with a finger to his lips) ... Don't cheapen this.

    @edgarwright
    All this steamy talk of Danny & Angel is sending me toward the 19,000 followers mark. You filthy bitches.

    @nickjfrost
    @simonpegg I'm off for a bath. I feel dirty. I might shave my head.

    @simonpegg
    @nickjfrost Alright but I get to choose what end I sit.

    @nickjfrost
    @simonpegg "I'd light a jostick I've just 'ad a chud." said danny.

    @edgarwright
    @simonpegg @nickjfrost ...Danny gripped his extendable Asp. It could do some serious damage in the right hands.

    @nickjfrost
    @edgarwright 'swing away!" Said Danny. They laughed at the memory of going to see signs together one afternoon.

    @edgarwright
    @simonpegg @nickjfrost Danny and Angel grinned as they tackled the shoplifter. There was no reason to hold him down so long. Or was there..?

    @nickjfrost
    @edgarwright "he's got a pipe of pringles down his track suit bottoms Sarge!" grinned Danny.

    @edgarwright
    @nickjfrost "Danny gazed at the leaves falling outside the station. He smiled. Rugby season would be starting soon..."

    @nickjfrost
    @edgarwright In the quiet station Danny danced to Sixpence none the richer's 'Kiss me', remembering their weekend in Weston.

    @nickjfrost
    @edgarwright 'I saw the way Skinner was looking at you.' Sighed Danny. 'Don't be jealous' Angel ruffled danny's hair. 'Don't Dad might see!'

    @simonpegg
    "What shall we do?" Asked Danny, fully of puppyish enthusiasm. "Your call Constable Butterman", purred Angel. Danny smiled, "Willy fight?"

    @edgarwright
    @simonpegg @nickjfrost "Danny wanted to tell Angel that from some angles he looked a bit like Paul Walker. He'd tell him one day...One day."

    @edgarwright
    @nickjfrost Danny smiled "Remember when we beat up those travelers in the downpour, Sergeant Angel? ? Your hair looked good in the rain"

    @edgarwright
    @nickjfrost "Danny gazed at the leaves falling outside the station. He smiled. Rugby season would be starting soon..."

    @edgarwright
    I'm enjoying this. Too much...(too much)

    @edgarwright
    @simonpegg @nickjfrost Angel gently reminded Danny that his 'Team Jacob' t-shirt was not regulation uniform.

    @edgarwright
    @nickjfrost Danny broke the silence. "Who do you like better, John or Edward?" "I have no strong feeling" said Angel, without looking up.

    @edgarwright
    And there goes 19,000. I think I've found your level. Naughty.

    @edgarwright
    One last one..."Have you seen the notebook?" asked Angel, searching furiously in the glove compartment. "Many times" replied Danny fondly.

    @edgarwright
    @nickjfrost I think a fair few people think we have been quoting existing Hot Fuzz slash fiction, not writing it.

    I talked to my brother in law yesterday. I was telling him about the latest adventure of my crazy sister, Brenda. I have three sisters, only one of which is crazy, thank God. She is always entertaining as long as she's not happening to you. This time Terri, the oldest, got the late at night, come pick me up, but I'm not going to be where I tell you to come get me. You have to look. And you still won't find me. Ha Ha.

    So I was talking to Ray and he's worried about not having enough employees at the stores that he and my sister Karen own. He jokingly asked me if I would come to work for him and I said yes. Long story short, I'm going to Virginia in the next few days to help them out.

    I shouldn't be a problem at home as long as I'm back by the 18th of February. Pat and I are going to Pasa Robles to watch the Tour of California.

    Some day I'll try to commit the horror story of what Brenda put me through to paper...or something. Maybe I'll post if anonymously somewhere. It took me two days to quit crying.

    Jensen on Chelsea Lately
    Did anybody else catch Jensen Ackles on Chelsea Lately? I don't usually watch her, she's such a bitch, but I searched for Jensen on my DVR and that was the only show that popped up.

    I watched a little of it before Jensen came on.... I really hate her. She was making a joke about Jason Mamoa and Lisa Bonet's baby. They named him Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. While that is a mouthful, the bitch said with a name like that he's going to have to pretend he's Hawaiian. Newsflash: He IS Hawaiian. Half Hawaiian anyway.

    But on to the good part. Jensen didn't seem as awkward as he sometimes does. Plus he told a real cute story about Paris and Nicky Hilton. He was standing near them at the premiere of My Bloody Valentine 3D and overheard this conversation: Paris, "That movie was dope." Nicky, "Your makeups dope. Did you do it yourself?" Paris, "Do I ever do my own makeup?" Jensen said that at that point he realized that he was listening to probably the most intelligent conversation those two had ever had.

    I'm so proud
    I gacked this from my son who "Ripped off from Sabremane on RPG.NET:

    "You know that scene in Return of the Jedi where the Super Star Destroyer is crashing into the Death Star, and we see Admiral Ackbar just lean back while everybody's celebrating and thank his mighty-thewed squid-headed god, and somehow the sense that this is one squid-man that has been working and hoping a long time for this day to come, and that maybe--just maybe--not all the pink humans are complete rat bastards?

    That squid-man admiral is me today. Today, we are all Admiral Ackbar.""

    The parts of Jeremy and Melissa are played by my daughter Melissa and her 6 year old son Jeremy.....

    Melissa: (notices that Jeremy is looking depressed) Whats the matter? Why do you look so sad?

    Jeremy: It's nothing. I'm just sad

    Melissa: It's not nothing, if it's making you sad. What is it? Maybe I can help?

    Jeremy: I'm sad. I can't control it. My sad controls me.

    Melissa: You can control it. You just have to try.

    Jeremy: I can't help it. The sad controls me.

    Melissa: (starting to get irritated)You can control it. Like right now I'm controlling not spanking you.

    Jeremy: (Starts smiling really big) I'm happy now. Thanks Mom!

    I'm a gonna cry
    I have spent the entire summer avoiding spoilers for Supernatural, up to and threatening my daughter if she told me anything she knew.

    So when it started last night I was so excited. I'm watching my grandson Cody for a few days, so we re-watched the last two episodes from last year. A little after 8 I checked to make sure it was recording right. It wasn't. It was recording on the regular channel, not the HD which is so so pretty. So about 5 minutes into the show I got the channels switched and went back to watching the end of last season. I like to have enough lag time recorded so I can skip the commercials.

    We watched until I thought it was to scary for Cody. So we turned off the TV and sent Cody to sleep.

    The first thing this morning I turned Supernatural on. Oh it was so good, up until about 5 minutes till the end when my DVR quit recording.

    I'm a gonna cry.

    /I'm dling it now so I can see the end

    Trip back home
    We, (by which I mean me, my husband, daughter and three grandsons) are leaving Saturday for our annual trip back to North Carolina to see family.

    I'm really excited about seeing everybody, but I'm not looking forward to the subtle hints from my Dad about my weight. I know he only says anything because he worries about my health. He started jogging when he was 65 and a Doctor told him he had emphysema. He's that stuborn. Now he jogs 7 to 10 miles a day and is always going to track meets and senior oylmpic contests. He's always asking me to go with him no matter how many times I tell him can't.

    My husband is freaking out about the weather in North Carolina. He's booked rooms in Minneapolis and Raleigh in case the weather delays our flights.
