If you're going to be sexy in a photo, you'd better be thinking about sex*

...rather than about being sexy.*

Mainly posting to get the LotD out of the way, 'cause I need to close all tabs. (Ah, service packs, how you toy with me.) However, I can report that after near a month I've finally hung up the miniature IKEA framed-photos - a trio of a cheetah and cup, two lion cubs, and two elephant calves - as well as stringing up a little flower-lightbulb thingy - like Christmas lights, only flowers. I also have a clothes hook half-hammered (well, -bottled) in, but may need to borrow Laura's hammer.

Also, cheap wine is cheap. (Ye gods, I'm starting to like alcohol.)

Afterelton.com's 2008's 100 Hottest Men - Amusing, if a bit of a farce, I think. Johnny Depp, for example, is at a lowly 40. David Tennant goes from Not Listed to 33 ("Go on, my son!", is, I believe, the correct response) beat out by Randy Harrison at 32 which is totally ok because Randy is frelling gorgeous. What is not ok is that Justin Timberlake beats the two of them at 25. Le whu? The Brad Pitt shows up at 15. All good, you think? Well, he loses out to T.R. Knight. *mind is boggled* Are my hormones just badly calibrated? There's some nice surprises in the mix (Why hello there, Gale Harold at #6), way too many "Meh, he's ok" and a few "You can't be serious". The winner is Jake Gyllenhaal (again), followed by John Barrowman (whom I find aesthetically pleasing but utterly fail to drool over. Colour me confused, but there it is.)

Some people think football is a matter of life and death.*

I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

Today was Market Day, so I went out for a walkabout and ate delicious things in small quantities. ( Read more... )

So I carried all this to De Burcht, which is an old and tiny little fortress on a *gasp* hill. Seriously, it's tiny. And, with the wonders of flickr**, you can see it for yourselves. ( A guided tour. )

...and I've just got back from watching the Netherlands/Russia game*** (1-3) at Einstein's. Damn fine match, and holy smokes are the Russians good. But the Dutch game 'em a hard time, which is nice. No more orange in the streets, alas, as the kids get sent home. However, tomorrow's Spain/Italy. Elisa and I and off to a bar to watch it :)

There's two YouTube videos that I really want to share, and they're totally getting embedded, yo, because they're that awesome. ( Read more... )

** I love flickr. So many African wild dog pictures for my paper came from here. So many awesome pictures.
*** Please keep in mind that I don't particularly care about football, or know much about it. Still, European Cup and all.
