5 Happy-Making Things

[annundriel]

I am having a not so happy day.

So, how about 5 THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

01. Adam Rex's The True Meaning of Smekday, which I already recced over here.

Here is a moment from when Gratuity, the protagonist, first meets J.Lo:

"Then...then...I will have onto shoot with my gun!"

I jumped back, palms up. In all the excitement, I hadn't thought of that. My eyes darted to where his hips would be, if he had any. I frowned.

"You don't even have a gun!"

"Yes! YES!" he shouted, nodding furiously, as though I'd somehow proven his point. "NO GUN! So I will have to...have to..."

His whole body trembled.

"...SHOOT FORTH THE LASERS FROM MY EYEBALLS!"

I fell into a row of shelves. That one was new to me.

"Shoot forth the lasers?"

"SHOOT FORTH THE LASERS!"

"You can do that?"

The Boov hesitated. His eyes quivered. After a few seconds he replied, "Yes."

I squinted. "Well, if you shoot your eye lasers, then I'll have no choice but to...EXPLODE YOUR HEAD!"

"You humans can not to ex--"

"We can! We can too! We just don't much. It's considered rude."

The Boov thought about this for a moment.

"Then...we are needing a...truce. You are not to exploding heads, and I will to not do my DEVASTATING EYE LASERS."

"Okay," I agreed. "Truce."

02. Misha Fucking Collins:


Click. It gets bigger. ;)







03. DiNozzo/McGee, and NCIS' recent episode "Guilty Pleasures", which, I swear to God, had to have been the showrunners saying, "Here, Michael Weatherly, run with your 'DiNozzo and McGee are in lurve' idea."

OMG. That first scene? I almost literally flailed myself off the bed. Guys, just sleep together already. You'll be happier after, I promise.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I CAN'T STAND IT.

04. My ringtone, since I got my iPhone last summer, is the beginning of the Bad Horse Chorus from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog. (Up until "...it's high-ho Silver! Signed Bad Horse...")

05. trademybike sent me CDs of the band Elbow. I've only listened to one so far, but I really like them. I love it when people send me tunes.

*hugs* I am sorry you're having a bad day. I myself am incredibly grumpy and unable to not focus on the stupid on the internet--I'm guessing hormones.

Click. It gets bigger. ;) Oh, if only you weren't talking about a picture... (Not that the pic is disappointing.)

Yeah, hormones are not making life any easier. Thanks, though. I'm sorry you're grumpy. ::hugs:: People are stupid. The internet just lets them spread it. (I saw your post and had nothing to add, but I feel ya. I'm currently watching series two of Merlin, and I'd love to read fic involving Gwen and Morgana - together, apart, with other characters - but I'm afraid to go looking for it.)

I love that picture. The one under the cut, though...Holy crap. There are so many things about that picture that work for me.

HOLY CRAP. I haven't been keeping up with NCIS and I just watched the first 2 minutes of that episode and again, HOLY CRAP. I had to stop watching so I can go off and download the full episode. they were having a lovers spat ♥ And Tony's face and voice when he's talking about Tim's donut ritual? sigh Tony and your pining for little Tim. Never gets old and I'll always love it.

OMG, it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen! When it aired, I spent the first commercial break staring slack-jawed at my screen because HOLY CRAP, was I really seeing what I was seeing?

YES, YES I WAS.

I've been sort of watching NCIS with one-eye and multi-tasking during it lately, but oh, this "Guilty Pleasures" was fantastic.

"I don't care -- when it's over. Go forever as far as I'm concerned."

I can't be the only one hears the wibble in his voice. Aww, Tim. <3

That middle picture? OM NOM NOM.

And the animated gif I've seen before, and it always makes me wonder about Misha's shaving habits, because those trews are awful low-slung for there not to be any curls visible. At the vaaairy least, he must trim... mmmmm, hipbones.

That NCIS clip..... OMG they're even cute when they're having a spat!!!! &hearts "you're annoying" "you're juvenile", and that SMILE Tony has afterwards..... JUST KISS AND MAKE UP!!!!

Now I kinda want fic with them going home after that case, and McGee being all hurt and giving Tony puppy-eyes, and Tony making it up to him.

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

There was totally a wibble there. Deny it all you want, Timmy, you want Tony's attentions back on you. Where they belong.

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

That middle picture is one of my favorites.

And that gif definitely makes you wonder...things.

Like why gravity decided to work right at that point.

Tony's smile at the end! omg, it does me in. It's just...this is how they operate, and they know this is how they operate, and most of the time they realize that and that the teasing and the name calling is just...something to do.

I love that as soon as the other detective guy starts in on Tim - and then Ziva - Tony stops being friendly. <3

Heee, Tony should make it up to him. And then the next morning, maybe Tim will do something nice to make up for the huffing and puffing on his coffee. ;)
