I'm so tempted to write this out as a first-person story because it was so totally awesome. Except I am self-aware enough to know that it would only be awesome to me.

Basically, I had Aleran Furies (from the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher) -- wind and metal -- and could also cast spells with a wand like Harry Potter. It was awesome. And I was flying somewhere and accidentally stumbled over a Death Eater attack and had to use a Patronus to call Harry for help and I was dueling some dudes with swords and flying around and then Harry showed up...

Total fanboy dream, I know, but it was rad while it lasted. Did not want to wake up.

Thoughts:

Jakob has GI-Joe action figure hips. They just kinda... go where ever he puts them.

I know a lot of my peepz are Ellenore fans, but there's just something about her I do not like that much.

Favorite guys: pretty much any but Nathan. He only dances well alone, which says everything I need to know about him. Favorite girls: like them all, but find Ellenore the one I like the least.

Who do you think goes home tonight?

So, the final book of Jim Butcher's Codex Alera is coming out this month. Awesome. Excellent.

But there's no fanfic for it, right? Wrong.

Here is Fading Away by priscellie, which has major spoilers through the first three or four books, so if you haven't read this series you seriously need to go away and do so, then return. I'll wait. But if you have, go check it out. This story deals with the events at the very beginning of Tavi's (the main character's) life.

Oh, come on, someone please teach the QB of the football team how to throw a football. Please.

Love RHOMBUS!

WTF Quinn's song choice? Who in the world was she supposed to be singing about?

(Also, Twitter is down -- too many Tweets. Everyone else is asking the same question. Or so I assume.)

Lie to Me just hired Spike and Riley Finn as guest actors for back-to-back weeks.

Who the hell is next? Alexis Denisoff is busy with Dollhouse. David Boreanas is busy with Bones. Alyson Hannigan is busy with How I Met Your Mother. Tara? Amy? Buffy herself?

My keeper-league fantasy baseball team went from worst to tied-for-third this season.

Word.

As far as my life goes, MNF is a wonderful excuse to hang out with the guys.

For a few years now, we've had a running tradition of meeting at sports bars and hanging out while "watching" the game. (Usually, we talk about the Gators and Jags games from the previous weekend. Or coding. Or whatever.) The Dolphins played last night, so we had a couple guys interested in the game, but for the most part, we just talked about stuff.

Good times.

What kind of random traditions do you dear Friends Listers have? I know that there's a group out west that does So You Think You Can Dance together...

I played football and baseball growing up, and none of us could sing worth a shit.

Just thought y'all should know. =) Not that I imagine it will affect your enjoyment.
