Pinching your own nipples can sometimes work.  
I'm watching Veronica Mars On Demand! (Silly, I know, since I have the DVDs, but that would require moving and I've had way too much Qdoba for that.) GOOD GOD I MISSED THIS SHOW. It's Normal Is the Watchword (aka not exactly the best episode ever aka I'm still mad about the whole Duncan/Logan do-si-do) and I'm still overjoyed to see these people on my television. LOL, Logan just sucker-kicked Weevil in the face. Has anyone ever made one of those GQMF things for Logan Echolls? That should happen.

Oh, Logan. I think I should conduct a poll! (Note: the obvious answer to the first question is "all the fucking time," so please go with your second choice.)

When is Logan hottest?

season three

I need a new book to read. Any recommendations?


I don't think I've watched the entirety of this episode since it was on TV, because I never noticed that they actually show the witness dude on the bridge with Logan. I always thought he was just a blurry blob. So does this mean I was the only person who actually thought Dr. Griffith was the witness at first? Lol.

I'm feeling rather nostalgic right now. I kind of want to write some VM fic. I've got a million half-finished stories on my hard drive, maybe I should try to finish one. (I feel like I've typed that about a million times and never followed through, ugh.)

ETA: They did such a good job with the music on VM. GAH, I love so much about this show it's ridiculous.
 
 
emozione:: full
musica:: Logan and V making out/getting shot at in the Xterra. Ah, good times.

Oh, S2, with those damn hips. All we need to care about.

Also, yes, fic! I've missed your writing, so go for it!

I think it's been way too long since I watched VM, too, because when my brain saw your icon it did not go "oh, they're fighting like usual." No, it went somewhere else, Lindsay.

Oh, and you are not allowed to eat Qdoba, by the way! You see, they're evil. They belong to an evil regime that you hate as much as I do. Have some enlightenment: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Penguins-Coach-Bylsma-and-the-mystical-power-of-?urn=nhl,169011

Haha, I've been watching the On Demand episodes too, which is ridiculous because the DVDs are literally sitting right by my television. It's just better if you get it On Demand, I don't know why!

Season 2 Logan FTMFW. As much as I hate to admit it, I like Logan most when he's desperate and crazy and setting pools on fire and fighting with Weevil and constantly giving Veronica shit. Logan and Weevil becoming a crime-fighting duo is kind of my favorite thing that ever happened on the show.

And you should totally write fic!
But I don't want to be a pie!: vm║does a bear wear a funny hat?[info]flinkkamingo3 on June 18th, 2009 01:50 am (UTC)
Maybe because the television is actually providing it? It's like old times!

Oh, absolutely. Desperate Logan is the best, not to mention that my favorite part of the whole L/V relationship is when they're super pissed at each other but obviously still want to get to the sexing. Also, I think that around about Plan B he really hits his peak, physically speaking.

Oh man, Meg is being such a bitch right now. I've never been her biggest fan but I still feel pretty bad for her. And lol, someone from ANTM trying to act.

Oh man have you seen this Capri Sun commercial I'm watching right now? This kid is flopping around on a dock and a fish comes up and squirts some pouched water on him. It is TERRIFYING.

I'm watching Driver Ed now. The bus driver's daughter just socked this chick in the mouth. I don't remember that happening but it was AWESOME.
ovaltine jenkins[info]the_spin on June 18th, 2009 02:06 am (UTC)
Oh god, that is my least favorite commercial in the history of EVER. It scares me out even more than the Burger King one were the guy wakes up and the Burger King is in bed with him staring like a creepster.

and oh man, I'd forgotten about that! That chick was awesome.
But I don't want to be a pie![info]flinkkamingo3 on June 18th, 2009 02:17 am (UTC)
LOL Those commercials are nuts. Speaking of commercials and Burger King, have you seen this one:



Now Kevin Smith's on. V does some good detective work in this one. And Wallace is being so adorable and awesome. Good god, my heart is overflowing right now and I feel like I barely even noticed this episode any other time I watched it. If I watched A Trip to the Dentist right now I would probably spontaneously combust.
Annie[info]annie_oakley on June 18th, 2009 02:07 am (UTC)
You've probably already read my recommendation. HI! Fellow dead fan! Zombies rock!

I think Logan had a lot more to do season two (rhyme!) that's why I can't hate on it too much, but his looks were most consistent and lovely, for me, in season one. It was before he got The Trainer and his body was best in AEFC, I think.

VM is On Demand? I'm so, so slow.
But I don't want to be a pie!: sotd║you've got red on you.[info]flinkkamingo3 on June 18th, 2009 02:13 am (UTC)
I haven't, actually, but that sounds AAAAAAMAZING. I should start a zombie reading list, have like a zombie-themed summer.

While I find him more attractive in S2 (which is largely influenced by how damaged and mean he is because I am WEIRD), I def agree that his body is best in AEFC. I prefer him a little scrawnier. Although I did just see him partly naked (sex with Kendall) and I'd be happy with him either way.

Yep! They've got this whole WB section with VM, The OC, and other random shows like Hanging With Mr. Cooper, haha.
Annie[info]annie_oakley on June 18th, 2009 02:18 am (UTC)
icon love! Shaun of the Dead was the last movie I was super, super excited for and went in with really high expectations, and came out of it loving it even more than I thought I could. That never happens anymore. But, sadly, most zombie films now suck. I'm an old school Romero fan.

Zombie-themed summer sounds AMAZING! Since I've successfully brought up zombies and VM in one comment, I'll admit this- I totally just joined vm_santa this year because I really, really hoped to get your prompt. I didn't and I still had fun, but damn, that hurt.

Aw, didn't Mr. Cooper die? I never watched the show regularly but I think I remember that post from ONTD.
But I don't want to be a pie![info]flinkkamingo3 on June 18th, 2009 02:26 am (UTC)
I think I've watched SotD more times than anything else in my life. Not only do I adore zombies, but I'm also a huge fan of the whole Spaced crew, so that film is basically a collision of everything I could ever want in life.

Oh man, I watched Night of the Living Dead this year for the first time since I was about nine (my zombie-love was implanted early on) and it totally killed me. That movie is so creepy/perfect. Pet Semetary is On Demand right now, which has some unusual kind-of-zombies and isn't exactly the best movie I've ever seen, but does a nice job of of combing cheesy horror movie elements with some really freaky ones. I think the sequels are there, too.

Um... YOU SHOULD WRITE IT ANYWAY! That should be a pre-req for the fandom: everyone has to write a VM/zombie crossover. I feel so bad about vm_santa, though--I never got around to writing my fic. I really failed, especially since I got an awesome gift. I hope it's still running next year so I can redeem myself.

Shit, did he? I just IMDBed him but it didn't say anything about that.
Annie[info]annie_oakley on June 18th, 2009 02:35 am (UTC)
Yes, SPACED! You like VM and Logan and hockey and zombies and Spaced! Impeccable taste, you have. I adore that show and everyone on it.

My favorite is still the original Dawn of the Dead. All of those movies were filmed really close to me. I live like 10 minutes away from the Evans City cemetery where they filmed Night, and Day of the Dead was filmed in the Wampum Mines, which is an even shorter drive on the other side of town.

I wish I could just write it! I actually started an OC zombie story that I don't ever plan on showing anyone, but I could use a lot of elements to make it work for VM. But I made a big deal about needing to stop writing VM fic and so my WIP is my last one. Maybe I'll make a sock puppet and just deny it, ha.

HE IS TOTALLY ALIVE I WAS SO WRONG! I could have sworn there was a post about it. Damn, Mark Curry, I apologize.
But I don't want to be a pie!: spaced║don't cheapen this.[info]flinkkamingo3 on June 18th, 2009 02:51 am (UTC)
I could say the same about you! Those five things are basically my favorite parts of life, with like alcohol and money squeezed in somewhere.

WOAH. Have you ever been to the cemetery? You should go and post pictures.

How much begging would I have to do to make that happen? Make both of those things happen, haha. I'd love to see how Seth would deal with zombies. He'd probably be really excited about it.

I guess I missed this, so: why aren't you writing VM fic anymore? And thanks for reminding me, I need to read all that fic you've been posting at some point. I haven't read any fic in aaaaaaages.
Annie[info]annie_oakley on June 18th, 2009 03:13 am (UTC)
Icon love again! Daisy is one of my favorite female characters in television, I swear.

I have been to the cemetery! If I go back, I'll definitely take pics. I really want to go to the zombie walk in Pittsburgh this year, because I always miss it every other year for some reason or another, and it's always so epic. Maybe around Halloween I'll have a zombie weekend and hit all of the filming spots and take pictures, in addition to pics of the walk (some people do some amazing things with costumes and makeup, from the pics I've seen). But you can't take pics in the Monroeville Mall (where the original Dawn was filmed) because they're insane there about it and don't allow it. Maybe I'll sneak!

I'd love to see how Seth would deal with zombies. He'd probably be really excited about it.

Haha, MY FAULT, I meant OC as in original characters. I never watched that show! Mischa Barton's face always angered me too much. Sorry! But if Seth would be excited for a zombie apocalypse, that's a character I want to know.

I wanted to stop writing VM fic because I waste too much time reading/writing/thinking about it and hardly anyone reads it anymore, so I've been writing my own stories for myself that I won't ever show anyone, ha. Like my zombie story that's post zombie apocalypse, but with a serial killer who's offing survivors and leaving them tied up, as zombies, as his calling card. Idk, sounds better in my head. But those things are just more fun to write.
But I don't want to be a pie![info]flinkkamingo3 on June 22nd, 2009 01:40 am (UTC)
A zombie weekend sounds amazing, especially during Halloween.

Hahaha, oops. It took me so long to get all those abbreviations that are always attached to fics. But let me just say, if Marissa's what's keeping you from watching The OC, you should try it out anyway. She's not all that horrible, and by the fourth season, she's dead, so you'd at least have something to look forward to. Seth and Ryan are too adorable to miss.

Sounds good to me! Also like something I would DEF want to read.

I MISS VM SO MUCH. like I'm going through this thing where I watch all my old faves and VM is totally getting a serious viewing soon. I am fully stopping at season 2, though, cause season 3 makes me angry.

hahaha, I love that season 2 Logan is winning in a landslide. your flist knows what they talkin' bout!

also, my book rec: funny, smart, incredibly sad, and awesome. I remember when you recced me The Book Theif and it pretty much killed me; hopefully I will return the favor!
But I don't want to be a pie!: vm║obligatory psychotic jackass.[info]flinkkamingo3 on June 22nd, 2009 01:43 am (UTC)
Yeah, I don't think I'll ever watch S3 again. Or if I have to, I'll at least only watch up to the ninth episode. I can stomach that much and I like to see Logan take a baseball bat to a cop car on account of Veronica.

also, my book rec: funny, smart, incredibly sad, and awesome.

Okay, definitely going on the reading list!

I miss that show like burning. There is an empty, hollow ache inside of me. You think I'm exaggerating? Think again.

Also, I've been working on my EPICMAMMOTH vm fic archive/rec list and I'm reading fic from 2005 and MY GOD, there was never another fandom so prolific and full of gut-wrenchingly good writers. I have ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO fics archived. SO FAR. Some are more recent, from when I was still trolling the comms, but I've at least doubled the amount just since starting this project. *sobs* I miss my little fandom that could.

I know you're not exaggerating because I pretty much have the same thing going on.

pyro_manical: VM[info]pyro_manical on June 20th, 2009 08:36 am (UTC)
It is officially too late for me to be going through my Friendslist, but TOO BAD. 4:22 am commenting it is.

1. I voted for season one Logan pretty much because of fandom. The summer between season one and two I pretty much breathed VM fandom, most of which was devoted to how very, very much Logan and Veronica should be getting it on. Definitely the peak of my Logan love, though I to this day love him a ridiculous amount (come on, I tried watching Moonlight for him.)

2. I suggested WE, a totally awesome Russian novel with a couple who remind me of a more Russian literature version of Baltar/Six (but again, fandom totally eating into every aspect of my life at the time), but IGNORE ME, because it is way more important that you read Good Omens. Also, if you're feeling really lazy about your reading you can do what I've been doing and start reading graphic novels. Y:The Last Man pretty much makes me life since it's a well written - post apocalyptic - gender issue - action adventure comic book about an English Major and his monkey named Ampersand.

Oh god, sleep deprived rambeling!
But I don't want to be a pie!: vm║intrepid girl detective.[info]flinkkamingo3 on June 22nd, 2009 01:49 am (UTC)
Unfortunately, I didn't discover fandom until the summer after season two, so I missed a lot of the community aspects of the time after season one, but I did go back and read every little bit of fic from that time. I just really love S2 Logan because he's so mean and broken. It's hot, haha.

Actually, I've already read that one! I had to read a Russian novel for one of my classes freshman year and Virginia suggested that one. I really enjoyed it, I remember the writing being pretty awesome. In particular, there was this one passage where the main dude imagines having sex with a chair that made me laugh hysterically. Hopefully you remember this and I'm not coming off insane.
