XENA THE WARRIOR PRINCESS
Nov. 21st, 2010 03:31 pmFLIST! How many of you have seen Xena: the Warrior Princess? I remember watching a couple episodes when I was a kid and being impressed by her badass-ery, but that was it until recently.
I watched the first 4 episodes yesterday, and OMG. I AM IN LOVE. IT IS SO CAMPY AND AMAZING. Xena is badass and hot and Gabrielle is funny and also hot. It has RIDICULOUS FIGHTSCENES where Xena kills like 5 guys with one throw of her magical sentient Frisbee. Xena can stop swords with her motherfucking BARE HANDS, because she is that much cooler than you.
She has a TORTURED PAST and is trying to be good now but everyone thinks she is still evil!warrior!Xena but in reality she is good!warrior!Xena, new and improved and still hot.
I love her outfit and I love the horses (yay horses \o/) and I love the Xena/Gabrielle scenes. Gabrielle! I love Gabrielle. At first I thought she was annoying but then I realized that no, she is just talkative and cute and compliments Xena's smirkyness perfectly.
She and Gabrielle ride around and fight crime and stuff and stuff. It's amazing, okay. I loooooooove it. The ridiculousness makes me lol a lot, but in a good way. It's fun! I wish I had someone to watch with me, but I don't know cool people irl. :(

RIHANNA IS FABULOUS
Aug. 18th, 2010 10:18 pmI really want a Rihanna icon from Eminem's 'Love the Way You Lie' video, because she looks amaaaaaaaaaaaazing in it. Red hair is definitely her thing. ♥_♥
But I hate Eminem (CREEPY BIGOTED DOUCHEBAG) and I also hated the music video in question, which was badly done and I could write an essay on how problematic it was, but I'll spare you the details. I don't want to look like I support the video or think it's awesome or anything. :( SIGH. Talk about first-world problems.
On another note, on lj spotlight I keep reading "Russian-based photography" as "Russian-based pornography." Every single time, and then I giggle like an immature 12 yr old boy who just told a 'UR MOM' joke. (Interesting sidenote! I love your mom jokes. I make them ALL THE TIME. Don't judge me. :'( )

book: affinity
Feb. 23rd, 2010 10:37 pmHoly shit, you guys. You know when you're reading a book and something so unexpected happens it's kind of like someone just punched you in the side of the head? I just finished the book Affinity by Sarah Waters, and that's really the only way to describe the ~experience. REELING. :O But, you know, in a good way.
Really good book, man. I won't say more, I don't want to ~spoil anyone. That said -- omg, I don't even know what to do with myself now that I'm finished, asdfkl;ajsdlkfjf.
This is the second book of hers I've read -- Fingersmith was the first. I think, if I were to compare the two, I like Fingersmith better, but they were both amazingly plotted.
This isn't much of a review at all, but seriously, consider picking up one of her books sometimes (I'd go for Fingersmith~). Well-written, well-plotted historical novels with lesbian main characters. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? :D
