I took only about 6 pictures because 1) I was too far away for anything to turn out awesome and 2) I wanted to rock.

Here's a little UNF UNF for your Sunday evening

I'm off to my co-worker's in a bit to watch True Blood.

No, I'm not cutting it. I'm good about that usually, but this one is too pretty to hide.

Also -- there're more here.

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THE BANA IS IN THE NEW CRAP STAR TREK MOVIE?

HE IS HOTTER THAN JESUS!

(clicky for a bigger version)

I'm gonna have to go watch and pull for the bad guy now, aren't I?

Is it too much to hope that he and Karl Urban as McCoy go off and have wacky adventures together? I DO NOT THINK SO!

You guys! I read the BEST book last night.

And by "best", I mean so hysterically bad that I want to read it again immediately.

See, our library finally got with the "download this audiobook or ebook for 14 days" train - it joined an online library collective - and I browsed the ebooks last night. Most are romance novels. A couple of them had descriptions I could NOT resist, and since whatwomenread.blogspot.com had posted a couple of times about military romances, I felt like checking one out. I grabbed "Codename: Princess" (ETA: It's by Christina Skye.) and... you guys.

There is a KOALA WITH MAGIC HEALING POWERS. It is referred to as a bear all the time, which = MEGA BONUS POINTS x10 !! Its claws were mentioned a number of times, so I'm thinking Wolverine got desperate at some point when the X-Men were based out of Australia, and this is the result. And the hero, "Hawk", is a Navy SEAL who is on experimental healing meds, WHICH ALSO HAPPEN TO GIVE HIM THE RAGING HORMONES OF A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD (this is mentioned multiple times, complete with the 15yo part). The heroine is severely claustrophobic from childhood trauma, so of course they get stuck in an elevator and have hot hot sex for two hours because his meds make him so horny he can go like a machine. And she gets mixed up in his mission and is just an ordinary woman, but of course her twin sister is an FBI agent who has taught her all kinds of things, so she succeeds where many government agents fail and IT IS SO AWESOME IN ITS BADNESS YOU MUST READ IT.

I AM SERIOUS.

I have not been this entertained by outrageousness in a long time.
