Subject line brought to you by me sitting through three and a half hours of debates last night. Why can't Charlie Gibson be running for president? He was my favorite. :) But since he's not, I'm leaning, heavily, towards Obama. He's not a perfect candidate, but some of the Republicans actually scare me and I can't stand Hillary. And that shall be the extent of my political discussion.

All my plans for the weekend pretty much went kaput. I’m still fighting ear pressure/dizziness/exhaustion thanks to the lingering unknown bug. And I've been extremely crabby since Thursday and I'm not sure why. All of which led to projects and posting plans going by the wayside. Sigh.

Anyway, let’s catch up on some pimping!

Anyone want to go to a Bitchin’ Party? Then there is a con for you! Check out the bitchinparty comm for details. It’s a casual get together of fans taking place in the Seattle. They’ll be panels, vid shows, and probably a fair amount of squeeing. If you are not a BSG fan, you will be once I get done with you. ;) The organizers are capping registration at ninety people and they are already about half way there. romanticalgirl, I know you probably can’t make the Con, but I better get to see you while I’m there!

sdwolfpup had an awesome idea to spread some joy as we start the New Year. So this coming Thursday, January 10th she proposes…

we each engage in one act, either here on or outside of LJ, which brings joy to another person, in the hopes that that person will spread that joy further, and exponentially onward.

Some ideas I had of things we could do:

Write a fic, make an icon, make a vid, or make a fanart for someone. Buy someone paid time or userpics. Leave someone a nice comment. Say something nice about something fannish someone else loves. Say something nice about something fannish you love and encourage squee (and squee on someone else’s post if they make one!). Offer to beta for someone. Offer to donate five dollars to the charity of someone's choice. Send flowers to an online friend in a different city. Buy someone you know online a present. Or a virtual present. Plant a tree or a flower in someone's honor and take a picture of it and post it to your LJ. When somebody cuts you off at work, wish them well and hope they get where they’re going safely. Make somebody a friendship bracelet. Or a construction paper heart. Call someone you love and tell them so. Or anything else you can think of!

And to start the ball rolling, Congratulations to SDW on the Seahawks and Chargers victories! ;-)

OMG, I did a Meme! brokenmnemonic did this meme recently and it seemed s good way to get to know people without providing TMI.

( The Layers Meme )

Super brief, non-spoilery TV thoughts:

Friday Night Lights - I miss the first season.

Stargate: Atlantis - I love Ronan. That minute between just he and Teyla? Awesome! The rest? :p

The trend lives! HAPPY (Belated) BIRTHDAY molly_may! May the rest of the year be as relaxing as your birthday was.
