Marry, shag, cliff...

1) Comment to this and I will give you 3 people.
2) Post this meme with your answers.
3) Provide pictures and the names of 3 people.
4) Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.

My three from highrising who the answers are likely predictable for.

This sucks, but I have to throw Alex off the cliff. Beyond being adorable, he doesn't do a lot for me in the personality department. I think he'd actually get on my damn nerves fairly quickly and I'd just be too exhausted by the end of the day. Also, I don't think I'd shag him because he looks like someone who's shagged...uhm...a lot.

I'd shag Lee, because he'd be that friend that I'd shag once to get it out of the way, and then yayes! We can be friends! Plus, who would throw that face off of a cliff? Honestly.

And I know this is a shock to everyone, but I'd marry...

BERNIE! I'm already in love with his crazy ass, and I don't even care that he lopped off all of his amazing hair! I just want him to go to California, for there to be an earthquake, and for him to get frightened and phone me to tell me that if I really loved him, I'd make it stop. I mean, it's all right if he's a raging lunatic and he's been called the Anti-Christ by one particular musician, and I don't mind that he sharpens knives down the answering machine, that's all cool with me.

Just bring the hair back:

Those of you who follow my Twitter already know I have a new infatuation and that infatuation's name is Alex Turner. Which, of course, means I'm required to do a picspam. For those who don't know who he is, he's the front man for Arctic Monkeys and he has really bad acne, but I do not care because he's utterly adorable. Love, love, love him.

Let's talk flea control...

2009-03-20T21:21:33Z

I don't usually post secrets of veterinary medicine, but I really feel the need to after coming home from a friend's flea-ridden house. If you have animals and you don't practice flea control, you suffer and your animals suffer. The best form of flea control is medication like Advantage or Frontline, but not everyone can afford those, so here are some things you can do to help control the fleas in your home:

1) Spot treatment and flea collars.
Do not, under any circumstances, buy any spot flea treatment that OTC. They're rubbish. Even if they do work, they don't kill the eggs or repel fleas and tics, and they'll only last just over a week. Same with flea collars: rubbish.

2) Flea shampoo.
Stop using it. No, really. Throw it the fuck out because it's useless and you're probably just giving your animal more problems than they already have. Especially if you're using a brand such as Hartz or Sergeant's. What do you use instead? Lemon Joy Dishwashing Liquid. No, I'm not joking. It kills fleas on contact by shocking them to death, and no matter how long you leave it on your animal, it won't damage their coat. It will, however, dry out their skin, so after using it, shampoo your pet with an oatmeal based pet shampoo.

2a) Location, location, location.
The most important areas to shampoo are the head and the back. On the head, be sure to get around the eyes. To protect the eyes, get a dropper and some mineral oil and put one drop into each eye. They hate this, but it protects the eyes from getting anything in them. Get around the eyes, snout, ears (do the same with the mineral oil here, too), and mouth because the fleas will hide in any hole they can. And the hind end? Yeah. Any hole. So get as many places as you can and wash the tail thoroughly because they like to hang on to the hair on the tail the most.

3) Flea combs!
Use them! It defeats the purpose if you're killing them and leaving them on there for the eggs to hatch, doesn't it? A handheld shower head works great with this so you can just wash them down the drain. If you don't have one, do the best you can, and if there's anymore on your pet, sit with it after a bath and get as many off as you can and put them into a pan/bowl of hot water. Since they're dead, they'll just fall right off.

4) Prevention.
Get a flea spray. The best kind to get is Raid Flea Killer because you can use it on your furniture, floor, and your pet, and it works, so that's a bonus. Brands to stay away from are Hartz and Sergeant's.

And that's pretty much it. Just bathe your pet once a week and keep up with the prevention during the week and you should be fine.

I'm feeling nostalgic - Brett Anderson picspam

2009-01-30T03:32:00Z

I don't care if he's a giant, pretentious bag of douche. Bernard was always my favourite of the "real" Suede, but I do love Brett sometimes. The man's got an undeniable beauty about him.

And because highrising might kill me for doing a Brett spam without him, here's an oldie of Neil Codling. Did anyone ever really care that he could play the keyboards?

Oh, SNAP!

2008-12-14T23:11:26Z

Good work, secret service. Three cheers. Really.

I'm turning in early tonight, so here's a picspam before I'm gone for a while. I want to get on AIM, but if I do, I WILL NEVER GET OFF OF IT! Also, Bill is not part of the picspam. He's just the cover because I like the picture.

Nick Jago

Jackson RATHBONE

Bernard Butler

Brett needs to leave and take his bare chest with him.

Robert Schwartzman
The lead singer of Rooney, and also Jason Schwartzman's brother. I'm actually really shocked how few people know who Jason Schwartzman is. This cat has a YouTube thinger (where I got the caps from) and I can never actually listen to him because he's incredibly boring, but he's damn pretty to watch.

No Alex Greenwald. Shocking, I know. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spam me right back with pretty people.

2008-12-01T06:37:49Z

I don't care that he's crazy or that he's going away! You know what? I can even forgive his PETA douchebaggery. If you think you don't know who Alex Greenwald or Phanton Planet is, you might want to think again. If you've ever seen Donnie Darko, you know who he is. If you've ever seen an episode of The O.C., you know who they are. Remember those GAP ads? Yeah, he's in those, too. Obviously, I'm obsessed and I wanted to do picspams today and tomorrow and he's one of my choices. A warning that some of these are pretty large. I'm too lazy to scale them down.

Pssst, Mr. PETA. Whipped cream is dairy, dipshit.

I do feel bad for his band having to put up with his crap, though. I love crazy, but there's only so much a person can take.

Any suggestions for future spams?

2008-11-15T19:45:20Z

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Lauren, get that shit off my flist" and, for those of you who are awesome enough to know who Matthew Followill is, you're also thinking "Is she serious? Jared is, like, sooooo much hotter than Matthew!" Okay, no he isn't, and I know that Matthew Followill isn't what I would normally go for, but, damn! I want him. He should be arrested and thrown in my bed. With cuffs. I love that he's a little tubby, that he never combs his hair and, unless he's got a cigarette between his lips, his mouth his open like a fish. He's so filthy and I just want to gobble him up.

Observations about the show tonight:

1) Holy hell, Carolina Liar's guitarist is HOT!

2) We The Kings is dangerous. My friend and I were in the third row for the first three bands. During We The Kings' set, my wrist was sprain and my toe was trampled on and broke. Which means that I had to go sit in a safe area during the main attraction.

3) The Academy Is...
First reactions:
OMG The Butcher is NAKED!
Wow, Bill's BUILT! And TALL! Aren't people supposed to look smaller IRL?
RED TROUSERS! RED TROUSERS! RED TROUSERS!

My friend stayed in the pit. She got to touch him when he leaned over the crowd. I'd do it again. But, the security at HOB? EPIC FAIL! You couldn't take any pictures. At all. I tried taking one and homedude looked like he was going to rip my scalp away. But, I did get a crappy video. I was NOT as far away as it looks, and trust the video quality does NOTHING for this show.

When Child's Play came out, I spent an entire month barely sleeping. I kept seeing that little red haired doll, wielding his knife and flailing madly with that scary little crease in his brows. It literally scared me so bad that I was too sick to go to school for a week. This kid I lived with had a My Buddy doll, remember those? Well, he thought it was his best friend and carried it everywhere. It scared the shit out of me, all the time, to the point where he would stick the thing in my face and make me cry. Christ, I was a wuss. That little burned up head of his, rolling down the hall, all blackened and charred, plagued my dreams for the longest time.

So, like, this is my worst nightmare.

And I thought I hated Jessica Simpson before. THE EXORCIST didn't scare me the way Chucky did. I'm going to go look at Alex Greenwald pictures to cheer myself up.

So, okay, I don't make HP posts anymore, but if you haven't heard, Thomas Moorcroft has apparently been cast as Regulus Black. Which, okay, we all know that the films are shit, so we can forgive them for casting Snape's and Trelawny's love child from that drunken night.

But, I just do not see it happening. Hopefully, if it's true (which, knowing the films, it is), then he can act, sort of how Gary Oldman made up for being cast as Sirius.

Also? Bebo? Liek, gag me with a spoon, y'all.

ETA: "I don't make HP posts anymore." I'm so full of shit. :P
