1) Why isn't there more Bones fic?

I just mainlined all of Bones while I was traveling, and it's totally fucking fantastic! There's smart people interacting with wit and science talk! There's acknowledged sexual tension!

Also, it turns out I really like David Borreanez (however it's spelled. I'm pretty sure it ends with a Z.) My friends and I used to like to play a game where we would watch the credits for late season Buffy and Angel eps, and shout out "Thin Angel!" or "Fat Angel!" when shots of Broody McBroodster appeared. I got the feeling that by the end of the run, David B. was pretty resentful of being stuck playing Angel, and was depressed and eating a lot of pop-tarts. Or else Angel was secretly gorging on the blood of innocents with high cholesterol. I mean, for an undead immortal dude, his weight was fluctuating like a 13 year-old girl with a cheerleading habit. He seems much happier now! He's Well Muscled Angel and it's fun to watch him act!

2) You guys, this Zac Effron character, who all the actual 13 year-old girls like, is pretty cute. I accompanied some gentlemen of the Musical Theater Persuasion (his other target demographic) to a showing of High School Musical 3 last week, and was struck by his pretty pretty mouth, flat, doll-like eyes, and perfectly muscled back. Plus, he can waltz. "Come here little boy!" I thought, "Do you want some candy?" The actress playing his mom clearly thought the same thing. There's a scene where she pats his cheek, leans in a leetle too close, and licks her lips at the same time...it's all at once disturbing and totally understandable.

I may even watch High School Musicals 1 and 2 someday! I hear we see his nipples in one of those movies!

2a) I loved the scene when he was playing basketball in the dark, and his Dad confronted him about the kinky porno mag he had found under Zach's mattress. "Why can't you steal my Playboys like a normal kid!" Dad cried, brandishing the Juilliard* course catalog. "My god! There are pictures of men wearing tights in here!"

2b) If you are going to a popular movie in Manhattan, and are not interested in the hand-to-hand combat involved in getting several seats together at a midtown theater, you should know that there is a theater in Battery Park City (which I like to refer to as NEW JERSEY) that is quite a hike from the subway, but usually deserted. For your convenience, there's a crappy mexican restaurant which serves pretty strong margaritas right next door, and a DSW shoe warehouse in the building. SO you can get ripped, buy yourself some trashy purple boots, and then go ogle the ripe teenage flesh in relative comfort and privacy. If that's your thing, I mean (as it so so very much is mine.)

3) I need some boots. Elegant, waterproof, flat, comfortable, and not likely to pop my messed up knee. Not purple. Any suggestions?


* I told Orville, and I told Wilbur, and now I'm telling you - there are 2 "i"s in the word Juilliard. LJ's spellcheck disagrees. But then, it also says that fanfic is not a word, so there you have it.
