TV Crushes, School Projects, the Good Luck Dresses and Freakin' Comments

From Lani, going for it with the Hodge Podge Blog...

(Okay. Keep up with me. I'm dumping all the stuff I've been meaning to get to, but could never justify doing a whole blog about. So hold on to your oh shit handles, we're gonna be taking the corners fast.)

I usually don't take online tests. For one, they're typically lame. Two, they're typically inaccurate. Three, they're typically written by people who really don't care that they're either lame or inaccurate. But this one, I couldn't resist.

Your 80s Heartthrob Is

Jason Bateman

It doesn't give me one of those long paragraphs about why Jason Bateman is my 80s heart throb, though, which I find a little disappointing. But really, I wasn't that into him in the 80s. When I'm into him is now. Michael Bluth? Hemma hemma.

Which leads me to two other things I've been meaning to tell y'all about. Well, less things, more crushes. TV crushes. Of the... shall we say... unusual kind.

For one, I have a huge crush on Alton Brown. Yeah, I said it. The Guy from Good Eats. I'm sorry, but smart is sexy. Smart and cooking? Yow-za. When I first started watching, I was sure he was gay and I felt like it was such a waste. Come to find out, he's not only not gay, but his wife produces the show. Lucky woman.

The second of these crushes is Adam Savage from Mythbusters. He's so cute and he never quite gets things as right as Jamie does and I love the way those two feed off each other like brothers and he's just adorable. Reminds me a little of Fish, in that total absence of ego. And the show is so much fun.

So. Yeah. Those are my confessions. Got any of your own? I'd love to hear 'em. Speaking of hearing from you... no, wait. I'll get to it at the end.

Oh, also discovered today - the reason you never allow your husband to oversee your daughter's school project. Not that it's not accurate, but...

And, last but not least, I just put an auction live on eBay. It's my dress from the RITAs. I debated over putting it up, but hey 100% of the proceeds go to the Red Cross for the Katrina victims, so how bad could it be? Even if it makes $10, that's $10, right? And, it does have good luck cooties. Not guaranteed good luck cooties, I couldn't legally do that, especially since it's debatable whether good luck cooties actually exist, strictly speaking. But, in the interest of getting a little more relief to the people who need it, please feel free to forward the link to anyone you think might be interested!

***Update: They cancelled my auction. I have no idea why. They sent a letter explaining that it wasn't in line with their guidelines. I have no idea, but I'm too tired to argue it.***

Okay. Now. Commenting. Here's the deal, for those of you who are just tuning in. When Literary Chicks first started, we had unregistered commenting and I was spending easily half my site maintenance time weeding out the ones that wished to enlarge my penis (while I appreciate the thought, my penis - or the one over which I lord - is just fine, thanks), teach me how to play texas hold'em (just what exactly is the Big Freakin' Deal with texas hold'em, anyway?) and sell me a million carefully misspelled versions of Viiiiiiiagraaaaa and C-Alis.

Recently, it's come to my attention that the registering through Typekey is a little frustrating for some. Personally, I wish that someone would have told me, but as it turns out, you probably couldn't. Anyway, I've removed the forced Typekey registration for now, so go ahead. Try and comment. Make my day. ;) Sorry, every now and again I channel Dirty Harry. Can't really help it.

Also, it's come to my attention that some people might like a little more interaction. Do y'all want a forum to hang out in? We had one, only a few people came, and it was depressing to see the pinata hanging there all sad and dusty with no one taking a whack at it, so we killed it. If you'd like it back, let us know.

Okay. That just about covers it. Have a great day!
