a conversation with my brain

[aesc]

Brain: Oh come on, I'm tired of this stupid paper.
aesc: Look, brain, we are going to finish it this week. We have to submit it ASAP. It's a line on the goddamn CV, for crying out loud. Now check the damn Latin and translation.
Brain: *pout* Very well, then. Stupiditas, nomen tuum aesc es. That means "Stupidity, thy name--"
aesc: I mean the Latin on the page.
Brain: *work work work work* .... How about some tea?
aesc: No. Pay attention.
Brain: How about some espresso?
aesc: Okay, fine. Just... think about the paper while I get your precious caffeine.
Brain: We owe Siria porn.
aesc: PAPER.
Brain: PORN.
aesc: Shut up unless it has to do with the paper. Sitting down now.
Brain: *work work work work work* .... I think I'm owed an LJ update now.
aesc: Ohhhhh... I suppose so, as long as it's a really fast one. There's still ten more pages to go and I want to get this done. *click*
Brain: This won't take but a --



Brain: Oh. Oh my. Can we sit here for a while?
aesc: .... yeah.

.in other news: Newsweek has an article on Harry Potter fandom and philanthropy. It's HP-centric and doesn't mention other, looser confederations of fandom and giving like Sweet Charity, but still, it's nice to be reminded of the awesome things fandom can do.

WHAT IS THIS PIC?!

[aesc]

It's Misha Collins pouring organic kefir on himself, silly! :D

[monanotlisa]

...he. Um. Seems to be all about the fanservice, yes? Boy, someone knows his audience.

[aesc]

Oh, doubtless, doubtless. I'm fairly sure this is part of some not-so-subtle, yet hilarious, social experiment.

[fjbryan]

I don't even know who this person is, but I'd definitely put everything down to stare at this picture for a while!

[aesc]

He is, in general, distracting in the best way :D

[moonlettuce]

Is it wrong of me to now be imagining Jensen Ackles licking that off him...

[aesc]

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right!

[instantramen]

I think that picture's made my whole week.

[aesc]

I think I need to put together a Misha folder of images, for when I'm having a lousy day. He invariably makes me grin.

[instantramen]

I plan to save copies on my flash drive for emergencies.

[aesc]

This is very prudent of you.

[instantramen]

It's either that or print them all out and stick them everywhere for a wonderful surprise, but that might be weird.

[aesc]

It's so tempting, although my roommate... well, she already knows I'm weird, this might be One More Thing for her to add to my catalog of strangeness.

[instantramen]

Maybe you could say you're reliving your posters-of-teen-heartthrobs years? Or finally having them, I managed to miss that part of puberty.
