Ghostly movies, friends and HD fun!

For the last two weeks I've had "JULY 2ND AT 1:40AM" written on the top of both my white boards. And of course, I didn't remember to turn on the TV until half past 2am. So instead of watching Short Cuts which is what that memo was referring to, I watched Heart And Souls. To be fair, I was already half way through the DVD before I realized I'd missed the showing of Short Cuts. But I enjoyed Heart And Souls, mainly because the kid who plays the younger Thomas is SO CUTE. I almost wish Thomas would've spent the whole movie as a little boy. But then I'd be robbed of the hysterical comedy of RDJ when the souls are inhabiting him. The more I watch these old movies, I can't help but notice that the man tries his best but he really is an "eccentric bisexual" at heart (which made the "Walk Like A Man" sequence all that more hysterical). The movie was also evenly paced which was very nice.

Wait, isn't this year the Olympics? Why are they still doing trials? It's already July! Wow, NBC is just not on their A game this year. Or I suck at paying attention to when the Olympics actually start.

Anyway, the point of this post was actually to ask: How often do you speak to your friends? Because if I hear from a friend on Monday, I generally don't think to call them again until a week and a half later. Whether I do or not is another story, but is that too long between communicating? Generally I factor in talking online, phone conversations and hanging out in the same category. If I called a friend on Monday and we hang out on Thursday, then chat for three days online after that, I don't call them again until approximately two weeks after I last heard from them, so a week and a half after that last IM conversation. Does that make sense? I've been told that's unusual, but the only time I've ever called someone more than twice a week is because I was dating them-- and only because if I didn't, they would. And I feel better ending phone conversations when I do the calling than when someone else calls me. In the end, if you're calling me more than three times a week, I'm probably going to freak out.

Wow. I am a control freak. D:


Um. So, who's excited for Psych in two weeks! YAY! Pineapples for all!

Also exciting (but mostly for me)! Our new 42" HDTV is being delivered on Monday. Our next big purchase (as far as I'm concerned) is a PS3 and I already know the first movie I want on BD. And then, of course, Planet Earth and Meerkat Manor, because those shows/series are what every BD player should be broken in with. XD

In related news, USA should really start putting out a certain show in BD sets. *hint hint* I want to see every crevice on those pineapples, people!

And I just uploaded my first Kiss Kiss Bang Bang fic. And it's actually Harry/Perry. I know, I know. But it just fit well with the prompt I was given.

P.S. Happy belated Canada Day and early July 4th-- in case I'm not on later this week.

ETA: RDJ, how can you get more awesome than that. XD

A Gay Afternoon

Title: A Gay Afternoon
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Harry remembers a particular afternoon with Perry
Fandom: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Harry/Perry)
Word count: 2439
Notes: Written for the first KKBBFF challenge at kkissbbang, with the prompt "The Gym". As one of the five people in the world who prefer Harry/Harmony, it frustrated me that my first KKBB fic would be about the other ship. On the other hand, these two are too fun not to write and I don't know why I hadn't tried this fandom sooner. I may just write more.
