geebsHere's a pic of the new car, for those who were curious:
I think the Versa looks best in black.
Random web-stuff:
Twisted Disney Princesses- Thought this series of dark takes on the classic Disney princesses was pretty cool. Macabre, but cool.
This "deleted scene" from Twilight- Okay, I thought this was kinda hilarious:
TV Commentary:
Kings- is it me, or was this ep a little Gossip Girl-y? So the Queen gets all mad because people are wanting to pay more to sit next to David than to the King, so she bumps him. Then its all scheming- The Queen and Prince are all, "Oh, if the princess wanted you there, you woulda been there!" and then Jack takes him out with David's war buddies to hit the clubs and nail hottie club-sluts, all the while trying to convince David of how fickle his sister is. So even though Jack sets him up with a former lover named Claudia, David's a boy scout, and it doesn't go further than making out. But Jack's henchman manages to catch a pic and send it to some entertainment gossip website, mailing the url to Michelle.
On the other end, the Queen tries to talk David down to Michelle, how some other guy she used to hang out with is better suited to her station. Basically, she primes her for the pic by saying David's not so virtuous. But, she also surreptitiously sets Michelle up with the aforementioned guy, so she thinks its all natural at first that she connects with the guy and he arranges to throw his support for her health care reform bill. But when she finds out her mother set it up, boy is she mad!
In other happenings, the good Reverend and the King are still having a spat, and the Rev even claims god is silent when it comes to Silas. But interestingly enough, the Reverend puts one of the kings portraits askew just because he's feeling bitchy, but it ends up helping the king to escape to see his mistress and dying son, leading that whole "sacrifice" talk and him asking god what he needs to give up to make his son better. Apparently snapping the neck of a deer he struck with a car? Well, the kid gets better, and I think the real sacrifice is that he has to quit seeing his mistress and illegitimate son altogether.
In any case, that part of the story was funny, just to see the Doc lose all his bluster. First when Thomasina affixes him this cold stare when he asks who the hell she is (does he figure out she's the King's aid at that point, or was it because she knows how to give a scary look?) Then when he sees Silas, you can literally see the Doctor shit a brick. That's hilarious!
Oh, and Jack is one of those self-hating homos. But, given his sitch, I guess he would have to be totally repressed. One of his former BFs approaches him at the club, and Jack tells him to get lost because they can never be and it would be a political embarrassment. After the break up, he flips out, and picks a fight with some other club-goers, possibly beating one of them to death.
Okay, I know guys try to be macho or everything, but even if the Prince looks like a poofster and he's telling his bodyguards not to interfere, why the frak would you fight him? You could have that sitch where he totally kicks your ass, and since he's the prince, its not like anyone will stop him from beating the crap out of you. And if he's feeling generous, he might pay your hospital bill, worst case, you're laying there dying. If you do manage to kick his ass, you just kicked the prince's ass. Even if the bodyguards didn't interfere before, how long until you accidentally die?
