| Coco Before Chanel: Thumbs down from me |

Really really did not like "Coco Before Chanel." Audrey Tautou is gorgeous and I could have looked at her all day, but I found her character's motivations unfathomable, and I had no sense at all where Chanel's great talent and style came from, nor was there any sense of the force in design she would one day become.
This was nothing but an overblown romance that somehow reduced everything she did to being about some guy. Nauseating. I HATED it.
Beautiful, yes. But blech.
I wish someone would make the Chanel film that is in my head. Because this is DEFINITELY not it.

Ok. ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nerilka24 and I just finished watching episodes 101 and 102 at qaf_marathons.
But it's not to late for you to join the squee.
You can either:
A)Watch it later and follow along with our comments while you do so and join in with them. The beauty of the internets. Conversations can take place over days.
Or you can B) Come join me at qaf_marathons in 30 minutes. At 10pm EST. For episode 512 and 513.
ETA: Nerilka had to go to bed. I will be on my own for 512 and 513. *sniffles* |

| Where are my Insane Userpics? |

The Insane Userpics I bought don't 'show up.' How long takes it normally to receive them after paying? Anyone knows this? |

| This and That |

* Hope all who celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time spent with family and friends.
* The Girl Child went to the Black Friday sales this morning. At 4:49, while I was doing some serious sleeping, she texted. Scared me to death. Why did she text at that unholy hour, you ask... because she spotted John Travolta at the mall. Jesus. She's a freak.
* The Boy Child had to work today - so no shopping for him. Instead, he gave the Girl a list and his debit card. He gave his sister his fucking debit card. When she was going to a mall. The boy is an idiot. Honestly.
* It's chilly here in the Sunshine State tonight. Lovely thing, that. Right along with the Criminal Minds marathon on A&E.
* And, on a Criminal Minds note, this week's episode killed me. Dead. *pets the CM team* |

| The fandom fairy did it again |
[Nov. 27th, 2009|10:56 pm] |
Youuuuu, fandom. *happy sigh*
I always knew I was insane. Now I have the permanent account here to prove it. lol
At the end of the shittiest of weeks (at least from Wednesday on) this gift means more to me than you can imagine.
Thank you so, so much for this most generous gift!!!
And extra user pics too! *is flabbergasted*
I was thinking what I could give back to fandom, and the only thing I came up with is icons.
So, if there is a scene you always wanted to have iconized or a text icon or animation you always craved, comment on this post and I'll make them over the weekend. |

| 101, 102, 512, and 513 Tonight! |
[Nov. 27th, 2009|03:45 pm] |
Just a reminder We (hopefully it'll be a we and not just an I) will be watching the beginning and the end tonight at qaf_marathons.
I will get started at 8pm EST, watch 101 and 102 straight through. Then probably take a few minutes intermission and then watch 512 and 513 straight through starting at about 10pm EST.
Please join me! :D
And if you've never marathoned with me before just an fyi that I don't often get very deep with my comments, but you can feel free to. Or stay on the shallow end with me.
Why am I doing this? Because I have an urge to watch them both in one sitting and look at where they all started out and where they ended up without a ton of focus tonight on the hows and whys they got there. |

| CHANEL! |
[Nov. 27th, 2009|01:12 pm] |
I can't handle the crowds on Black Friday, and besides, my holiday shopping, such as it is, is done. (We're buying for the kids only this year, due to the financial problems of one of my brothers).
So my sisters in law and I are going to see "Coco Before Chanel," while my brothers and their sons do their manly, boy-ly thing without us. And then this evening, not_yet_defined is doing a marathon of 101-102 and 512-513 over at qaf_marathons, so that's what I'll be doing when I get home!
See you then! |

I took my new mpreg!ass!baby! with me (who still needs a name) and watched four eps of QAF last night!!YAY!!
I missed my connecting train in Oldenburg because of the delay of the train from Bad Zwischenahn and froze my ass off on THIS goddamn track for TWO FUCKING HOURS!!No,I couldn't go back into the station because it was full of people.I am not claustrophobic BUT that was simply too much!Shit,you should have seen the crowd!!There were people EVERYWHERE.They even sat on the stairs and I practically had to crawl over them to get to the track.That's why I've stayed out in the cold....*shivers*
*kicks Deutsche Bundesbahn for almost NEVER being on time*
*iz off to take a loooong,HOT bath*
Later....
P.S. When I got home hubby said:"I missed you..." *sniffs* Awww,isn't THAT great?

This scene always makes me melt.
So much so that just hearing the song in my ipod at work makes me melt.

| Permanently Insane? |
[Nov. 27th, 2009|07:37 am] |
Are you permanently insane? First person on my flist to respond to this post by NOON EST will get a permanently insane account from me. If you are already permanently insane. You can gift the account to one of your favorite QaF asylums like qaf_drabbles or bj_action, or any QaF asylum you like.
In return. You must post at least one fandom post today as well. A drabble. A vid. Some icons. A discussion at qaf_coffeeclub. Whatever you like.
Happy Black Friday!
:D
Ready. Set. Go!
ETA: the most awesome besamislabios won! and generously gifted the account to bj_action in the hopes that it might see a little action soon. hmm... |

| Because Bunny asked |
[Nov. 27th, 2009|12:42 am] |
and I actually have some free time. Even if it is almost 1:00 in the morning.
happier_bunny asked what QAF scene makes me melt and I will have to say the whole prom scene does it for me. You can see the love in both Brian and Justin's eyes.
But this kiss has been and always will be my all time favorite.

| Happy Thanksgiving |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|02:46 pm] |
Happy Thanksgiving to my wonderful friends list.
 |
|
|
| I'm so full!!!! |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|02:29 pm] |
Let's see..
Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, yams, ham, prime rib, cranberry sauce and deviled eggs.
I am 2 seconds from a nap.
Oh, and I'm in Oregon, and guess what???
It's raining. lol Ah, Oregon Liquid Sunshine, makes everything all green.
Hope everyone is having a great day, and if you don't celebrate...go stuff yourself anyway.
I love my flist. Many of you I've known for years, some just a few months. You guys make me laugh, make me think, make me crazy...and I wouldn't have it any other way.
*hugs teh flist*
Oh, and cause Mistress Bunny asked...
What Brian/Justin scene makes you melt?
There's several, but most of those are sexual. *g* However, this one is so schmooptastically delicious, you can't help but say, "Awwwwww."
I give you Chiquitita.
Shine once more, like you did before, sing a new song Chiquitita
The lyrics are very fitting for this scene, because Justin was still finding that thing that made him Sunshine. And Brian, well...Brian wanted to give him a dance that he'd remember.
Sigh.
The gif is from the lovely and talented pfodge.
Happy Turkey And Pie Day!!! |

| Bunny wants to know |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|10:23 pm] |
Tell me a scene that makes you melt. It has to be a scene that causes your heart to skip a beat every single time you watch it.
I can pinpoint it to the nanosecond: see the look on Brian's face right before he closes in on Justin for the kiss? That's it; that's my scene; that is why I love this show so much. |

| What the Gusmas? |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|12:07 pm] |
First, Happy Thanksgiving to all!
A couple of new fandom friends don't know the origin of the name of the current celebration in qaf_drabbles , "Gusmas," so I thought I'd explain.
Once upon a time, four fangirls wrote a story together, and the unbelievable url_girl illustrated it. (Well, we didn't write it, exactly -- it was divinely inspired, so it might be better said we channeled it.)
It was the story of Assbaby!Jesus (Gus for short), and of course, it's his birth we celebrate during the Solstikwanzanukkamas Season, which runs from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.
Be warned if you choose to read this fic; you're sure to end up on the bus to the hot place if you do.
