Consider this a PSA

[next_to_normal]

Just figured I should drop in and let y'all know I'm not dead or anything. Been super busy with two papers due this week, and my parents coming down every weekend to work on the condo. I've been reading the flist when I can and sporadically leaving comments, but I know I have about a zillion comments to respond to. I also totally did a picspam for the next Awesome Lady, which I hope to put up soon. In the meantime... linkspam?

* Super crazy awesome Being Erica spoilers for season 4! I AM EXCITE.

* Jennifer Lawrence is gonna sing in The Hunger Games! I mean, not that this is a shock or anything, since Katniss' singing ability is an established part of her character, but I didn't know if Lawrence could sing, so I wasn't sure how they'd handle it. I am so going to be crying my eyes out during this movie, aren't I?

* Speaking of The Hunger Games, this is apparently a thing that is happening. I'm kind of torn between hoping it's an elaborate joke and wondering exactly how you cook groosling...

* The Emmy Awards ballot is posted. I am contemplating doing my own little voting thing, since the people I like never win, lol.

Bonus! Quote of the Day, brought to you by my Film & Politics class:

"There's a difference between a real human being's nudity and, say, Donald Duck." - the professor, explaining the importance of context in film ratings
"Is that an issue? I mean, he NEVER wears pants." - student

I have a feeling I will, too. *sniffle*

And MMM, groosling! LOL

Hahaha, I'm not even sure what groosling IS!

I LOL'd at some of those Emmy Submissions. Stephen Moyer and Paul Wesley for best actor in a drama?!? Sorry boys, I think most of the audience doesn't watch the show for you!

I'm going to try to start watching Being Erica again, but man, that show TRIGGERS me like nobody's business. I got halfway through season 1, when I realized I was crying during entire episodes EVERY EPISODE because I related far, far too much to Erica (oh, yeah, and I totally stole her and Caroline from your Awesome Ladies character I relate to day. Because it never occurred to me, but I AM CAROLINE AND ERICA).

Haven't gotten around to starting my West Wing watch (or re-watch because I have seen most of season 1 and some of season 2 - actually I don't know if I've seen any of season 2, but I know I ship Sam/Ainsley, and I've read Holly's Spuffy/TWW crossover fics like five times, so I know what's up with the White House), but I actually have time off this weekend to veg out in front of the TV, so I can watch past the point where Sam realizes he slept with a call girl/law student. And because I'll be watching Parks and Recreation at the same time, I'll be calling Sam Chris and Chris Sam.

There's my little TV watching update. I plan on uploading all of Being Erica season 1 to my ipod so I'll watch it while I wait in line for the Harry Potter midnight showing, for which I just bought tickets.

Hahahaha, yeah. And the best thing is, they submit themselves in whatever category they choose, so you can tell where the big egos are. Like, I adore Rob Lowe, but he submits himself as lead actor all the time no matter what, even when (as with Parks & Rec) he's barely more than a glorified guest star.

I know what you mean about BE being triggery. But think of it this way - you're getting a TV show AND free therapy, all in one! And it does get less sob-inducing as Erica's life gets better...
