Show me the way to go home

[ebonlock]

Oh sweet Jesus, the Crossfire transcripts of Jon Stewart's appearance are up! Oh how I love Jon Stewart, let me count the ways:

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.

CARLSON: OK, up next, Jon Stewart goes one on one with his fans...

STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

If you've got the connection for it, you'll find the video for it here.

Ok it's at times like these that I kinda wish I had a Tivo.

Saturday's jakejr birthday bash/Battle Bok Choy was a big success. The birthday girl was quite surprised and we had more food than god. Seriously. Kitchen Stadium was well appointed so both teams had everything they needed to get creative and boy did they ever. The ladies of the Pepper team whipped up some lovely spring rolls and a nice stir fry with their ingredients. Then the lads of team Salt created a lovely soup (dubbed "One Tree Soup" for the enormous pieces of bok choy in it). Their dessert offering left many of us cold, and most were sensible enough to just avoid them. But a brave few gave it a whirl and we will soon have the photos to prove it. Bok Chocolate...the devil's own dessert...

We ducked out at a reasonable hour after a truly amazing chocolate/kahlua cake with only as many leftover as we could carry. Hooray! Zoomed home and got some sewing done before calling it an early night. Was up nice and late the next morning and tidied up a little before bidding Aelf adieu. Picked up a friend for an afternoon of David Thewlis and Alan Rickman in period costume. Commented in Total Eclipse when Leonardo DiCaprio was curled up naked around David that the latter just had to be thinking, "Best. Job. Ever." Also decided that Alan should be required by law to wear a flowing black robe everywhere at all times...when not doing nude scenes anyway.

I was also gifted with all the HP pr0n I could possibly desire. Stacks of it. Hee. Curled up with a bunch of the stories and read while listening to the new Farscape "Peacekeepers War" miniseries. Am I the only one or is it playing a helluva lot like an epic length fanfic novel? Not that I have a problem with that, I mean it's the fans that brought the show back in the first place so they should get what they want. Still, it's kinda weird to see stuff up onscreen that I'd normally be reading in someone's LJ post or on a fic recommendation page. Truly wacky shit.

Got next to no sleep last night and gave up even trying at one a.m. Just lay there in bed kinda day dreaming and hoping that my body, at least, was getting something like sleep. Perhaps it's time to switch back to decaf Diet Coke.

ohhhhh, yes

Thank you so much for the link! That was utterly brilliant, though I have to admit I'm horrified by the whole show. Not really something I'd ever watch, I expect.

You forgot one other little commandment for AR: Thou shalt always appear with blond hair (except when playing Snape). Long, blond hair flowing down to your shoulders...never mind, just my little hair fetish. Which I'm sure no one else in the world shares. :)

Mmm, I dunno', I kind of like the long flowing dark locks too. Can we just settle on flowing locks? :)

Sure, he looks good with dark hair, too. But the long, flowing locks look more attractive than a short haircut, definitely.

I didn't see the Stewart exchanges on "Crossfire," but Randi Rhodes on Air America Radio played a couple of them. Had me ROTF. The great thing, to me, was how totally unprepared these guys were for Stewart's blindside.

We all know that something is wrong with our media these days, and it sometimes seems that only comics are capable of pointing it out publicly. Very Shakespearian, imo.

I loved the bit where Carlson was trying to get Jon to "be funny" and Stewart fires back that he's not some performing monkey there to entertain them. He's got some actual opinions he'd like to share. That to me is when Jon is at his best, and he's right, why should "fake" news reporters act more like real journalists than the journalists do?
