Meimi has apparently decided to make herself my awesome layout fairy. Behold my twenty-first birthday present: A layout of pants!Logan, from Gilmore Girls (and, you know, that girl who's always hanging around him, what's her name . . .).

Everything but the things that are actually bothering me

"'If you knew the trouble we've had because Howl will keep falling in love like this! We've had lawsuits, and suitors with swords, and mothers with rolling pins, and fathers and uncles with cudgels. And aunts. Aunts are terrible. They go for you with hatpins. But the worst is when the girl herself finds out where Howl lives and turns up at the door, crying and miserable. Howl goes out through the back door and Calcifer and I have to deal with them all.' 'I hate the unhappy ones,' Calicfer said. 'They drip on me.'" - Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones
Nothing quite like rereading a good book to remind you why you hate half the garbage you have to read for class. Lord. I'm sorely tempted to finally reread Castle in the Air now, just to remind myself that a favourite author's so-so books are still better than a lot of other crap that could be considered litrchur. Also to remind me of how the relationship between Howl and Sophie actually works - that's on the list of things that irked me dreadfully about the movie.
Television has been showing the love less than usual. Veronica Mars continues to be hampered by Duncan the Droid. Gilmore Girls is, as Meimi said, doing the Buffy season six thing (including the bit where I'm really only enduring because I've been promised some Danny Strong airtime). Other things are on the dreaded hiatus. I miss House, which was actually going quite strong before this whole baseball thing. And Arrested Development. I'd even like to see another episode of Kitchen Confidential. Without access to actual tv, there really isn't much I actually consider worth the time to download right now. Ah, television. You try so constantly and fail so spectacularly.
On the bright side, webcomics have at least been reliably entertaining. Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki came back from its extended hiatus, which is quite nice, as has Midnight Macabre. Something Positive's got a great arc going on right now and Friendly Hostility's just wrapping up a surprisingly poignant arc involving Collin and Betsy.
It's almost enough to make a person forget how joyless their life currently is!
