I posted this on DW last night. Poor LJ, these DDoS attacks are so hard on you.

I had a fairly nasty flare-up over the weekend. It really knocked me out, I wasn't good for much of anything. With every flare-up things seem to get a little worse. It's as if every time I hit a higher plauteau it becomes the new status quo. Sometimes I think law school ruined my health for the rest of my life, which sounds totally hyperbolic but that doesn't make it untrue.

So, there's that. I've also been informed that I need to write a Band of Brothers alien apocalypse AU. Can you just imagine how awesome Falling Skies would be if it were anything like Band of Brothers? For a supposed military organization they have no Intel, no Ordinance, no Transportation, no support staff at all, except for a few civilians who cook the food. And don't get me started on how stupid it is to have civilians when the entire world is at war with the alien force. World War II might have had people who weren't formal members of the military but everyone was focused on the war effort.

Anyway, yes, BoB AU. We'd have to turn some of the guys into chicks and throw in other supporting characters but it still has definite awesome potential. It's such a shame that Graham Yost didn't just do that for his new TV show.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the meme. Just because I was away for a couple days doesn't mean I'm giving up.

LJ looks like it's back up! *crosses fingers* *knocks on wood*

Not that I have anything really interesting to say. Though there is that story about how the cats knocked over my hamper dragged the mesh bag part it to another room, jumped into the hamper after I had reassembled it, and then absconded with a pair of my underwear. Thankfully, Pippin led me right to it when I asked him where it was. Sometimes I think these cats are super-smart and sometimes I think the complete opposite.

Hey, you guys, Cowboys and Aliens comes out tomorrow. Wherein the cowboys will fight the aliens. I so cannot wait. I do believe it is my most anticipated movie of the summer. It's two of my favorite things in one movie! Though now, thanks to baylorsr's big mouth when we saw the trailer before another movie, I'm going to spend the entire movie thinking about how epically the people of Deadwood would beat the shit out of any alien invaders. Al Swearingen would not put up with that kind of fuckwittery in his town, oh no he fucking wouldn't.

But what does the meme think of all of this?
