ryan had that girl with the freckles as his netbook desktop and i’m all ‘WHAT IS IT WHAT IS IT’ and he’s all ‘some dude on deviantart’ and i had to see what else the guy has done and oh man this stuff is /AMAZING/. such richness and depth and spirit in basically every frame. it’s too much to take it all in.

meaghano talks to katie west about the book...
>> kickstarter.com/projects/1829982965/coming-and-crying-real-stories-about-sex-from-the-o/posts/6083
meaghan: That's why it's funny when people make this big thing about talking about sex, about it being so taboo, and i just want to say, THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE. THIS IS THE DRIVING FORCE OF LIFE. The question isn't how can we talk about it so openly, it's how can other people not?!
katiewest: it's the original SIN, Meaghan. we're going to HELL. and we're LADIES.
meaghan: Sometimes when i cringe or second guess myself i just remember, I AM A PERSON. I WILL AFFRONT YOU WITH MY PERSONHOOD. My 'humanity' haha
katiewest: we can't get excited about a cock and describe how it feels when it fills us.
meaghan: Eep! But yeah, people have been getting filled with cocks for millennia.
katiewest: but! you know what we do is different than just describing that, exactly, you know?
meaghan: there should be a DIALOGUE
katiewest: MORE THAN COCK
meaghan: right. it's the cock, but it's how you got there and what went through your mind and how you felt after
katiewest: right, like what you wrote the other day about what you were thinking about while he was on top of you, and you were looking at him, squinting wondering if you still knew him, or if you ever did. I loved that.
meaghan: *hopes he isn't reading this* ahahaaa
katiewest: oh yeah..uhhhhh...

the breast possible way
a little too much explanation re: lily cole’s breasts and their starring role in the imaginarium of doctor parnassus.
what i mean to say is that they’re everywhere but in fancy dresses and elaborate stage costumes, not flaunted out in front of her in lieu of character development. that she manages to be both startingly attractive and effortlessly sensual and also a rich character...

short answer - avatar was awesome.
i keep forgetting that the reviewers in the mercury and the willamette week hate almost everything. something has to be as relentlessly awesome as star trek for them to have trouble talking shit about it.
this isn’t as relentlessly awesome as star trek, but it’s much more enjoyable than you’d think from all the negative press. though not from the umpteen bazillion dollars in...

New lost next week. NEW LOST NEXT WEEK.
dear ncis los angeles. you’re not a bad show, getting better, just starting to shine and step out of the shadow of your parent series, which has peaked and gotten a little spotty.
but you’re going to be up against the final season of lost starting next week, which means your ratings are about to be murdered.
