These are a few of my favorite things.

SOME STUFF THAT IS AMAZING
(before I post about Merlin tomorrow)

One!
I watched the Women of SNL special and it was generally funny because they showed the best clips, but I think the thing that made me laugh the hardest was Amy Poehler's Sharon Osbourne impersonation. Not because it was the best impersonation ever (though it was pretty amazing), it's because of the dog. She has this little Pomeranian she's holding and waving all over the place like it's a stuffed animal and shaking it, and that dog is totally nonplussed. It's just looking calmly at the camera like "yes, and?" and she's SHAKING IT EVERYWHERE. I have no idea why I'm so entertained by this dog, but I watched the entire two hour special and that dog made me laugh harder than I've laughed in weeks. Even thinking about it makes me giggle. That dog! I can't. I can't even.

Is something wrong with me?

Two!
According to some dude on Twitter, Bradley James was gallivanting around LA this Halloween dressed up as a Ghostbuster. This guy could be totally full of it, I don't know. And you know what, I don't care. It makes me love Bradley more than I ALREADY DID, regardless of if it's true or not. If it's true, that's amazing. If it's not true, I love the fact that Bradley is exactly the type of person I would believe would dress up as a Ghostbuster for Halloween, and that just makes him a special snowflake.

Oh, the limbs I would sacrifice for pictures of this.

Three!
Some wrap-up from the Rally to Restore Sanity - if you haven't seen Jon Stewart's sincere closing remarks, GO WATCH THEM RIGHT NOW. They are great and true and insightful. I mean, it's a little unfair to the extreme left, I think, since the extreme right is where you get people who are theological extremists and want to wage war on everyone and damn your rights to hell, and the worst the extreme left ever wants to do is tax you a lot and make you go through red tape. Oooh, scary. Also, the 100 greatest signs from the rally. And seriously, they're GREAT.

Also, THIS IS YOUR REMINDER TO VOTE TOMORROW OR WE'RE NOT SPEAKING ANYMORE.

Four!
You know who else is great? BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH. I mean, his name is already the greatest name in the history of names, but he's been doing some great stuff lately. Like this live chat he did for PBS in which we learn he's amazing, adorable, hilarious, articulate, and oh, I love him. Also, there's these new pictures. I can't tell if I'm terrified of him or vaguely attracted to him. EITHER WAY I LOVE HIM.

Five!
I found a gerbil adoption agency in the next town over! They say they have new pups coming and should be ready by late November. I think I've decided on names, so it should be less than a month until you all are regaled with pictures and tales of Messrs. Gus and Baxter.

Six!
THIS DRESS IS SO FUCKING AMAZING I WANT TO DIE. If only I had $150 to, you know, spend on a dress I don't need and have nowhere to wear.

Edit, or Seven!
So sometimes while I'm winding down for bed I turn on the music video channel, which is doing a promo for Rock Band 3 that's a playlist full of featured songs. One of them is The Cure's Just Like Heaven, which in its original form I hate, but it reminded me of this cover, which once again proves that a song can be a truly terrible thing, but almost any song can be saved by a skillful cover. God, I love this cover:

BRADLEY JAMES AS A GHOSTBUSTER. I NEED PHOTOS STAT.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT? OH BRADLEY.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

BRADLEY. I HOPE THERE ARE PICTURES IF THIS IS TRUE.

BENEDICT IS AMAZINGTASTIC AND ALSO I WANT HIM IN ME. THERE NEEDS TO BE MOAR VOICEPORN INVOLVING HIM.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

Words do not describe how much I NEED PICTURES. Bonus if we could get some of him in that costume with Colin pretending to be a ghost.

UGH YES. I WOULD BUY ANY BOOK ON TAPE READ BY MSSR. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

I love that video of Benedict reading The Little Red Hen. UNF UNF.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

OMG WHAT GIMMEE.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God.

Also, I LOOOOOOVE the illustrations.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

I loved that book as a kid so it was like a double treat! :D

BENEDICT PLZ FATHER MY CHILDREN, THX.

[paenteom.livejournal.com]

If it wasn't LA, I might just believe it. >D

Honestly, Benedict Cumberbatch does nothing for me normally. I mean, yes, he's a darling and very adorable and all that, but I don't get all those people going 'HE'S SO SEXY ASFAGFDASF'.
B-but this photoshoot - idk.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

According to his facebook location, apparently, that is where he claims to be! Thus I choose to believe it is true. And Colin is there with him. And they are planning their wedding in a vineyard. And these are all completely true facts.

That dress is v. pretty indeed!

And now I want to know if Bradley (assuming that he did, indeed, dress up as a GhostBuster) went as a particular character or just did the general version of the costume. 'Cause..you know..actor and stuff...even if he does not look like one he could totally be them anyway. Right? I'm thinking Venkman.

Anyway. I think I saw pictures of some zombie ghostbusters from the parade in NYC, but then the theme seemed to be zombie everything so that's no surprise!

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

Hah! I don't remember enough about Ghostbusters to remember specific characters, just the theme song (I ain't afraid of no ghost!) and the logo and didn't they have these massive suck canons to catch the ghosts? It's all slightly fuzzy, I just know it was AWESOME.

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

OMG. YES. THAT DOG. That freakin' DOG is my favorite thing about all those Sharon Osborne sketches. It just SITS THERE as she practically tosses it around and half the time you're all, is it even ALIVE?? IDK. I think they used the same dog, or one similar, when Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell used to do those crazy ass Dog Show sketches. OMG. Those DOGS. Rocky Balboa and Mr. Bojangles.

ALSO THE IDEA OF BRADLEY JAMES DRESSING UP AS A GHOSTBUSTER FOR HALLOWEEN MAKES MY ENTIRE WEEK. BRADLEY, WHY SO ADORKABLE??

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

Those dogs deserve some sort of award. Or at the very least, EXTENSIVE BELLY RUBBINGS.

IDK BRADLEY JAMES MIGHT BE TOO PRECIOUS TO ACTUALLY BE A REAL PERSON.

MODCLOTH IS EVIL, EVIL, EVIL, AND I WANT EVERYTHING THERE.

NAW, GUS AND BAXTER! I CAN ALREADY IMAGINE THEIR CUTENESS.

ALSO, I KEEP TRYING TO SIGN INTO AIM FROM MY PHONE BUT IT KEEPS TELLING ME THE SERVER IS DOWN. D:

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT. DAMN YOU, MODCLOTH, BEING SO TEMPTING.

UGH THEY WILL BE SO CUTE.

BOOOOOOOO WHAT A WHORE.
