kuuttamo: I received the most amazing birthdaycard today. My partner is aware of my Star Trek hysteria (how could he not be), the furious Spirk shipping and Spock worshipping. He doesn’t exactly understand, or at least he’s not as fanatic, but puts up with it very well. This morning he gave me this! With command division symbols and a vulcan kiss forming H, the first letter of my name! Inside there’s a stardate and a heart shaped Spock’s head (what even :D) and on the back the Vulcan salute written in fuckin vulcan. This is the silliest and the most amazing card I’ve ever got. The guy knows how to please a nerd. Just saying. awwwwwww

kryptaria: So, as part of my writing research, I occasionally look up menus at various restaurants. Apparently at this one (Alinea in Chicago), $210 gets you, among other things, very, very confused lamb. Oh, and hot potato/cold potato. And a balloon. Hahaha! You know what, I totally drove past this place last night on my way home from Greektown (was at Pegasus)!  Opa! As I have friends in the biz…and I’ll have to confirm…I would guess that the accompanying items that go with it might be what the chef de cuisine chooses for that day?  My biz friend is on vaca, but when he gets back I’ll definitely ask, b/c I don’t know the lingo and I’m curious (also haven’t read any of the other comments, so maybe someone else knows). I bet my friend even knows this place and some of the staff… haha. balloon.

kryptaria: tousleslilas: kryptaria: homosociallyyours: What kind of bug is this??? He has pincers and feetsies and he’s very clever, trying to climb out of the trash. 6 legs, antenna, hard exoskeleton. Like a beetle? But I’ve never seen something like him! What’s the scale? Is it bigger than a car? A breadbox? The box it’s in? Looks like a striped blister beetle to me. Interesting! It does, doesn’t it? There ya go, darlin’. Yeah. It’s that. :-) Not a poe-tay-toe beetle of three lines. :-)

zooeyscigar: rembrandtswife: aine308: exquisitelymangled: God bless whoever decided this scene needed to be in the movie. See, JJ? This is how you do SKIN in a movie. :-) THIS. The Craig!Bond movies have shamelessly pandered to a female audience alongside the traditional male fans, and I am quite grateful to them. Also, BC in the deleted shower scene looks every bit as buff as Craig!Bond. HE’S AS BUFF AS JAMES BOND, PEOPLE. EAT YOUR HEART OUT, PINE AND QUINTO. *ahem* Sorry, gotta get back to packing now. okay, yeah, skin, guys. but look at the characterization he’s showing!! this bond gets fucked up. he gets bloody.  he acts like things hurt. in that third gif he looks like he’s as worried as any other normal human about the head wound that won’t stop bleeding (because they never do and they are the scariest) and he combats these things the only way he knows how, with a quick patch job and some whisky. alone. because he has to operate alone.  but you *never* see this sort of thing in classic bond movies. ever. he comes out unscratched practically every time. it’s like he’s a superhero. but that’s not book!bond.  *this* is book!bond.  there has never been a james bond as close to fleming canon as craig.  yes, he’s hot. yes, he panders to the female gaze. and i appreciate all of those things, i promise you. i’m all about the eye candy. and i’m in love with the idea that craig plays both the role of bond and that of bondgirl sometimes (that beach scene where he looks almost exactly like ursula andress from dr. no is perfect)  but this reboot is not all beach scenes. it’s bond not passing his tests before going after silva, and having to defibrillate mid-poker tournament against le chiffre, and this. and honestly, those cracks in the armor, those are what make me fall so hard for him. the vulnerability that goes along with stripping down, craig has it. in spades. and it’s hot as fuck.

okay, yeah, skin, guys. but look at the characterization he’s showing!!

this bond gets fucked up. he gets bloody. 

he acts like things hurt. in that third gif he looks like he’s as worried as any other normal human about the head wound that won’t stop bleeding (because they never do and they are the scariest)

and he combats these things the only way he knows how, with a quick patch job and some whisky. alone. because he has to operate alone. 

but you *never* see this sort of thing in classic bond movies. ever. he comes out unscratched practically every time. it’s like he’s a superhero. but that’s not book!bond. 

*this* is book!bond. 

there has never been a james bond as close to fleming canon as craig.

See?  All the freakin’ time.  There was one time a few years ago where they were actually looking for a prisoner that escaped a prisoner transfer vehicle or something. Then there is the countless amount of times I’ve come home from dance to drive through PoPo activity - including one time: Was driving home from dance one night (going E on Touhy having past Clark) and came to a stop sign (one of like, 3000 as you know).  There was one car in front of me at the stop sign and there were 2 unmarked squads (detectives) in the middle of the intersection preventing us from moving. Okay. Whatevs.  They’ll move. Nope. I am not exaggerating when in the next 25 seconds, at least 10 unmarked plus 2 squads came descending from all directions into this intersection like bats outta hell.  Coppers jumpin’ outta their cars and running wherever. Finally, after however long, they all started came back and started moving their cars and I could proceed home.  Sorta slowly continued on with my windows rolled down, looking around and saw some uniforms trudging back down to the intersection and again, I kid you not, one of them said, “Shit! I’m no spring chicken - I can’t run like that!”

kryptaria: aine308: Lightning Strike from 5/21/13 Storm in Chicago. Did you take this pic? How fun! I haven’t seen lightning for ages. I did. However, my manual 35’s are in need of a bit of repair. Also, my digital camera (non SLR) doens’t have a “b” setting…so I do the next best thing. Film on a tripod for segments and then go thru the film. Normally I’d just set up the manual with the B on and the shutter holder and leave it for a long time. ;-)
