Another beautiful day. I feel blessed beyond words.

The New Person just came into my office. She asked for a pencil sharpener and I realized that there isn't one to be had in the entire office. How have we gone on for so long without a pencil sharpener? See, this is why I'm not meant to be an office manager for the rest of my life, not because I'm 'better then this' *eyeroll* or anything like that but because I'm not really all that good at it. Donna Moss I am not;-).

Just so you know, I typed that whole last paragraph in a cheerfully self-deprecating tone. Am rather amused by the whole thing.

I may not win any secretary awards but I do have some sort of weird psychic control over who my bosses hire as they hired the person I wanted them to and I didn't even have to tell them. I do reign supreme.

Just heard that Famke Janssen will be back for the third X-Men film. And I have to make a retraction, you remember how I reported that Angel was going to be played by a woman? Well, one of the producers (I want to say Joel Silver but I'm not sure he's working on this one) has come out and said that that is a vicious lie. Angel will be a character and will be the appropriate sex. We can all now breathe a sigh of relief.

Found out a little while ago that my first high school crush and his wife are expecting their first kid. Just when I'd finally gotten used to my old friends and/or schoolmates getting married I find that they're starting to procreate. I was shocked and then I was happy for them and then ... well, let's just say I was a silly little kid back in the day and leave it at that;-).

Baylor did beat MSU last night. The Vortex triumphs again.

I've been making icons.

Further evidence.

*wibble* Dr. Webster is a man of many talents. And Zeke is certainly asking you to sex him now.

I've been making icons too! *points*

[baylorsr.livejournal.com]

N'aw, they're so in love!

[hjcallipygian.livejournal.com]

Hooray! Angel is a man. That makes me happy.

Of course, it will lead to confusion when discussing Angel vs. Angel. Sigh. I suppose it's worth it.

And yay for Famke Janssen! I like her as a bad girl. She's all... feisty.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Angel vs. Angel confusion would be most entertaining. So many opportunities to mess with people's minds, so little time.

The Famke Janssen as bad girl appeal is universal. Her Bond villain is still one of the greatest characters of all time.

I wonder how Angel the vampire would handle mutants. I wonder if mutant blood would be different for a vampire than regular homo sapeins blood.

Eep. I don't need another fucking crossover idea pounding through my head. Definitely don't. Help me!

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, you know you wanna. Just think about all the fun and nifty possibilities if Angel were to meet Angel. Doesn't the very idea amuse and tantalize?

*cue evil laugh*

[hjcallipygian.livejournal.com]

The idea that popped into my head was:

What would happen if Rogue tried to take the power of an undead human housing a demon and a human soul?

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Duuuuuuuuude. My mind, it boggles.

[hjcallipygian.livejournal.com]

See? See what you did to me?

Although -- taking the comic book Rogue, especially the circa 1980s Clairemont version -- I think a Rogue and Spike story would work better. Angel's a bit too... guilt-driven to mesh well with Rogue. Spike's more... Gambit-like, to be honest, and you know what a Rogue/Gambit whore I am. =)

[hjcallipygian.livejournal.com]

Not only those reasons, but also... Angel would see the one touch and then stop. Spike is far too stubborn for that, and he would keep trying and trying (and trying). Makes for more conflict.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Absolutely correct. Rogue fits with Spike much better then with Angel. The possibility for snark and fun accents is endless.

[hjcallipygian.livejournal.com]

I'm going to kill you... after I go to lunch and jot down some notes for this story.

Hear that soft whisper in the wind? That's me cussing at you from Florida.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

I may never seem to get the ideas themselves, but I am awfully good at instigating and encouraging them in other people. It's my ev0l gift.

I am gleefully unrepentant. *listens to cussing in wind* *giggles maniacally*

[hjcallipygian.livejournal.com]

I will now spoil with a snippet of dialogue and then not touch this again for a week, just to torture you:

INT. NEW YORK CITY BAR -- NIGHT

ROGUE -- a tall, lithe young woman with wild red hair -- enters. She wears jeans, a white t-shirt, and a bomber jacket, and eyes the room quickly before she walks to the bar.

SPIKE -- a vampire with a soul -- looks up from his drink and cigarette to see Rogue take a stool two or three seats down from him; only empty space separates them.

Spike stares openly at Rogue for a few moments.

ROGUESugah, you don' stop starin', your eyes gonna fall out.

Spike grins.

SPIKENah, luv, they're resiliant.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

See, now you're the ev0l one. You've set my brain a'churning and it ain't gonna stop any time soon.

*is duly tortured*

[hjcallipygian.livejournal.com]

Granted, it's going to be a short story, not a screenplay, but still. Maybe it's just all in my head... but damn, they seem to have chemistry to me.

Angel will be appropriate sex

*passes out for relief*

Congratulations to your friend. Yay, a new life into the world.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

The world can go on spinning and Hollywood can go on movie-making now that they've made everything right. All is good.

[writerj.livejournal.com]

Ooh ooh does that mean this is the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix storyline? Do we get the Hellfire Club? Do we get Emma Frost???

Mm. Warren Worthington III + "appropriate sex" = drawn desire.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping for Phoenix/Dark Phoenix. There's been no official work yet but it seems awfully likely, considering all the foreshadowing in the last one. And now I'm also hoping for Emma Frost because, wow, having her around would be great.

Mmmmmm, that movie's just gonna be filled up with all sorts of pretty.

I can't make it to the Lost tonight. Give the party my regards? <3

Aaaaawww, we'll miss ya, hon. Won't be the same without you.
