ALERT ALERT: My New "Dangerous Rogue" Crush is...
Matt Bomer! Playing a con artist, forgerer and fraudulent, gun-loathing thief in the slick new crime caper White Collar. Think of it as Ocean's Eleven, without the eleven, mixed with Hustle, with the two sides of the law collaborating for the greater good. So far.
Anyway, here are some (slightly airbrushed) pictures for your perusal:

Vamp Till Ready...
*sigh* I'll have a nice review of the next VD ep ready to go soon I promise! I'm just a bit busy with, amongst other things, self-teaching an AS, swooning over Matt Bomer and tuning/rehearsing a bottle orchestra.
But soon, very soon!

Gossip Frequent, Gossip Fluent? WELL I CAN'T *sulks*
Due to ITV2 moving Gossip Girl to 9.30 and this clashing with both my mother's programmes (Jamie Oliver AND the Ten O'Clock News), I missed last night's episode, or more importantly, I missed Dorota's WEDDING.
ITV Player has also, inexplicably, not put up the episode yet. Virgin Media doesn't offer Gossip Girl episodes for catch up, but DOES offer a veritable sea of random, dull and bizarre programmes dredged up from the ITV Player.
I was going to 'live vicariously', so to speak, through the witty and oh-so-true recap from the folks at New York Magazine's blog, Daily Intel, but that's not up either!! Considering the show aired in America on MONDAY and the recap is usually up by the next morning, I am Not Best Pleased.
WHY must the universe deprive me of my GG fix?!
Oh yeah, because I have a mountain of work to do, that's why.
Gee, thanks.
xXx
P.S. I wouldn't have dreamed of possibly competing with aforementioned Awesome Recap, and was merely intending to link to it (and the recap of the recap - it would come out on Friday if there was a recap to recap...ah the confusion). My plans, however, have been scuppered. So I shall merely hope the episode was wonderful and get on with the astrophysics now.

The Most Hilarious Vampires Of Them All
Dylan Meconis is wonderful. She's a graphic artist extraordinaire. She's talented, witty and intelligent. You can find her here:
http://www.dylanmeconis.com/
Bite Me! was the first comic she ever wrote/drew, starting in high school, finishing in college and as of last year published! In proper hard copy paper and ink form! Oh yes.
Nevertheless the comic is still available as it was originally published: in virtual form, now fully restored and polished till it GLOWS, on Girlamatic as well as its own spiffy website. For said spiffy website, click this post title.
Essentially, Bite Me! is a tale of vampires in revolutionary France, getting into amusing situations and mildly alarming scrapes. I first read it a few years ago, during my webcomics phase and just sat there cackling my head off at every other page.
So go! Read! Enjoy! Cackle, darlings, cackle.
