This morning I was greeted by the sight of a dead...something, I think a cat, in the middle of the street outside my house. It was big and bloody and I didn't look at it too closely. The best part? I was trying not to look at the carcass and as I kept my eyes on the sidewalk instead, there was a bloody piece of flesh on the sidewalk before me. Coincidentally, right next to the dead mouse I saw on the sidewalk last night, that was still there. Oh, and I saw a dead baby bird yesterday too. WTF? I told [livejournal.com profile] oeilade I think I'm Damien or something and dead animals are following me around. Anyway, the moral of this story is to keep your cats inside the house. Odds are good it was a stray but odds are good it was someone's pet, too. So tragic and pointless. It was still there when I got home so I called 311 for the first time ever and was transferred to someone in Sanitation who sounded like, well, a New York City garbage man. LOL. Supposedly they're going to send someone to clean it up. UGH.

In brighter news, this icon by [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns is the greatest thing ever, partially because there is only a select subset of people who love both shows and will understand why this is the greatest thing ever.

Had dinner tonight at a Cajun/Creole restaurant in Brooklyn that was opened by someone who moved here after Hurricane Katrina. So that was kind of cool, with good food to boot. Would definitely go back there.

So I watched Doctor Who "Silence in the Library" on SCI FI tonight and Expandmight as well continue my unpopular fandom opinions )

Much more enjoyable was this very long article in the New York Times Magazine about Mad Men. Some mild spoilers for next season (really just timeframe spoilers), so be warned. But some really interesting insights into the characters and a warts-and-all portrayal of Matthew Weiner. Very excited for the new season!

Also enjoyable is this mini-interview with Tim Gunn in which he complains about Project Runway moving to L.A. I hear you, Tim, I hear you. And I'm gratified that you're as cranky about it as I am. (I mean, seriously. Tim Gunn in L.A.? He's going to implode or something.) Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] bentleywg for the link.

You know, if Jamie Bamber wears this hat to Comic Con or Dragon Con, I don't know what I'm going to do. Because, well, I know what I'm going to do, when faced with that hat. I'm going to say to him, "So...what's with the hat?" I know it. It's just going to come right out of my mouth whether I want it to or not. So I really hope it doesn't come to that, even if it might be amusing for whoever's with me.

On a semi-related note, I watched some of the Daytime Emmys tonight and was completely traumatized by Jack Wagner's hair. What the hell is he doing? YOU'RE OVER 40. CUT IT. Also, I laughed pretty hard at Tyra and at Judge Cristina or whatever her name is, with how incredibly emotional and melodramatic they got. They do know this is just the Daytime Emmys, right? It's not even the real Emmys. They air it on a Friday night, for god's sake. Get it together! But the winner for Outstanding Drama? UGH. WHAT THE FUCK, ACADEMY. WHAT. THE. FUCK. *cries tears of rage*

OK, I did that fashion quiz meme making the rounds, here are my results. Very cute. ExpandI think I got the same as eman. )

Whoa, it just started raining like mad and frickin' hailing. Holy crap.

ETA: OMG Medusa Barbie doll. Pre-snake hair, but STILL. WANT. And a new Hello Kitty Barbie, yay! And I like Batgirl, too. Well played, Mattel. Well played.
