A Mighty Fine Life

In case you missed it on one of my three other blogs or on poisonivory 's journal, Jess and I are doing the 48 Hour Book Challenge. For charity! Specifically, this weekend we'll be reading as much YA as we can, and live-blogging over at AV; we are asking for people to sponsor us for a dollar or two per book. Proceeds will all go to Room to Read. It's gonna be awesome.

Of course, this necessitates books, and possibly I ran out and bought a couple, leaving me those PLUS what I've already got lying around. Ah ha ha... ha. Help me decide which to read (first)!

Poll #1410742 Help me pick books!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 14

Which book should I read (first?)

Reading-related, but sad: David Eddings died. I can't even say how formative his novels were to me, both as I became a fantasy fan and as I started writing. I'm not much for epic fantasy at this point, but those were some damn fun reading, and I think he will be greatly missed. :(((

And to cheer everyone up after that, have some pictures of Corbin looking like an adult (read: hot). Click to embiggen. There is stubble and chest hair.







*swoon* I think I need a mint julep and a lie down.

And on that lecherous note, I am off to bed.

The Sexy Girls of Greek

HI! So, did you like previous picspam? Did it convince you to go watch the show immediately? NO?! Then perhaps this picspam will. Having shown off the gentlemen, it's only fair to show off the ladies.



( So many (more) pictures. So much (more) pretty. )

Still to come in "Project: Everyone Should Watch Greek": Rusty, the show's protagonist! Dale, Rusty's awkward and hilarious room mate! Guest stars! People smooching! A manifesto about how Cappie and Evan are so very very in love! Stay tuned!

The Sexy Guys of Greek

Hi. So. There's this show on ABC Family, which is really, really good. (Good enough that I'm baffled it's on ABC family. I mean, really?) It's smart and well written, it's a cast that features both gay characters and characters of color in major roles, it does both drama and comedy brilliantly. And above all, it has amazing, amazing characters.

But there seems to be no fandom. This makes me feel like this: :(((((((((((

So I am determined to convince everyone I have ever met to watch it. Have a massively short intro: Greek is an hour-long dramedy that airs Monday nights on ABC Family. It follows Casey Cartwright, a junior at Cypress-Rhodes University, who hopes to become president of Zeta Beta Zeta, the school's best sorrority; and her little brother Rusty, an extremely nerdy freshman who is pledging at Kappa Tau Gamma, the school's worst fraternity. Casey is stuck in a love triangle, with her current douche of a boyfriend, Evan, and her ultra-dreamy but definitely immature ex, Cappie. Rusty deals with his Bible-thumping but surprisingly endearing roommate Dale, and somehow ends up friends with closeted all-around cool kid Calvin. Wacky (and not-so-wacky) hijinks ensue all around.

Got all that? Good. Now aside from being surprisingly smart and progressive and awesomely written, a lot of the cast is also SO HOT. So here: Have a massive picspam of hottest members of the male cast. (Next time will be female cast, as they are also super hot.)



( So many pictures. So much pretty. )


...It occurs to me I just did almost the whole male cast, but left out the actual protagonist, Rusty. WHOOPS. Whatever, I will do a very special Rusty and Dale entry after I do the female cast. (Oh baby. Trust me, I'd do the female cast.)

ANYWAY. Interested, intrigued, or inspired to watch the show? You can see every episode -- free! -- at ABCfamily.com/greek. And I think you should do that immediately. And then write me some delicious, delicious Cappie/Evan hatesex. OH YES, I WILL BE POSTING ON THAT, TOO. So basically: stand by for a lot more fangirling and squeeing about this show, because you ALL SHOULD WATCH IT. RIGHT NOW.
