Heh, didn't post about The Black Donnellys last night, and I only just remembered it now, as I'm about to go to bed. I don't know, guys. It didn't hold my attention as much as I would have liked, but I've been in a really weird mood the past couple of days, so that might be why.

There was one part near the beginning that I really loved and wanted to make note of, but gah. My brain is not cooperating this morning.

It also did not help that I put noodles on to boil before the show started so I could make chicken noodle casserole and then like, five minutes before the show ended I was like, oh right. Noodles. So...not so much edible. Sorry about that, pot. I will have to scrub you clean later.

Random, but who's the guy that plays Samson? He looks ridiculously familiar, and I can't place him. And of course IMDB is withholding. It can be a coy bitch like that sometimes.

Um, let's see. What else. Is anyone here on the scoop_from_joey team? And if you are, do you know what's going on with that? I'm pretty anxious to see it go live. I don't know, I have a thing for newsletters. It makes things seem all neat and organized and official.

Also, you guys. I know you are getting all psyched up about St. Patrick's Day, so take like ten minutes to head over to tbd_stpaddys and leave us some drabbles or icons or something. It is very lonely over there. PLUS. There is a freaking ADORABLE picture someone made of Jenny, Tommy, and Joey Ice Cream in Powerpuff Girl-style. So go look at that and then stick around.

I'm pretty sure I got the best Big Sister in the world out of terraneanblues' Big/Little project. You guys. m_and_m_wars, FTW. Best idea for a community ever, Y/Y? And there's already a post in there, with some awesome M&M depictions that totally blow my M&M wars out of the water. This should be motivation for you all to go buy some candy, play with it for a while, take some pictures, and then eat the candy. Is that really too much to ask? Am I a terrible friend for wanting to encourage candy-eating? Probably. I probably just want you all to get fat and have cavities.

And my big sister also gave me this while incorporating The Black Donnellys into the comment, so, you know. She pretty much wins. I ♥ you, big sister, if you're reading.

Oh yes, and before I forget, even if you guys are like, "WHATEVS JESS, WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR LAME COMMUNITY PIMPAGE, PLZ TO BE GETTING THEE AWAY," there is one really awesome thing you should check out.

velocityofsound has a post in her journal about Bet Tzedek Legal Services, and she's offering fic for people who pimp/donate, so go check that out. It looks like a very worthwhile cause.

And speaking of charity, there's a pretty nifty one called Sweet Charity that's more fandom based, and the proceeds go to RAINN (The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network.) A bunch of pretty awesome people have offered their services up for auction, writers, graphics artists, etc. A few I recognized are -

anteka (get your own customized Plastic!Winchester Theater episode!)
estrella30 (she'll be your fic slave for a month!)
ethrosdemon (will write! crack!)
halfshellvenus (will write a fic for you or beta one of yours!)
herowlness (will beta, incorporating her wicked spelling/grammar skills!)
keepaofthecheez (she'll write you fic in any of her pre-existing 'verses or something in a new one!)
maygra (will write you fic in any of her 'verses or yours!)
moveablehistory (will write fic or make graphics!)
storydivagirl (will write two stories!)
technosage (will write fic or beta!)
txtequilanights (will write fic!)

And those are just the ones I recognized off the top of my head, there are tons of people who've offered themselves up. You guys can't tell me you wouldn't want fic, written to your own specifications, by one of these ladies. Or a reliable beta who's going to make your writing sparkle. Plus it's for an excellent cause, so, you know. No down side.

Or, if you're feeling particularly generous, go offer yourself up. I think the deadline to sign up is tomorrow, and dudes, I have about the most talented bunch of kids on my flist ever, so you can't tell me you have nothing to offer.

All right. I suppose I'll go to bed now that the sun's fully up.
