wishfulclicking What? No Meme?
This is not a meme--hold in your shock-- I just finished doing all the memes I had been tagged to do and now back to the regularly scheduled posts.

FNMTV: What do you guys think of the show?
Perhaps I thought my slight affection for The Wentz would override my growing distaste for MTV as a misnamed channel (Music Television--Really?) But all I have come to discover is that I can only watch it if a certain artist is performing and then I just skip around until they get around to their performance. I find the video inserts with the haters/lovers sort of annoying sometimes. I remember when they used to run text on the bottom on a scroll. I really think that was better because I enjoy hearing the music from the video, not some persons attempt at snark or overindulgent praise for an artist. The only episode I have tried to watch is the Panic one and then I stumbled on the one with Duffy--that one was decent enough. FNMTV is still one of the better ideas that MTV has had because they seriously needed to show more videos--but I am just not that into it. (America's Best Dance Crew is another awesome idea ) I still prefer Fuse as a channel.
I don't want to turn this post into an essay/rant about MTV as a channel; but they just irk me on so many levels. The main offenders : My Super Sweet Sixteen or whatever that crap is called--it, like Cribs, was sort of cool at first and now it has overstayed its welcome; The Real World--no way, not anymore it's not. I remember when the Real World actually seemed populated with actual people and not shallow cardboard robots of lame. ( I know these people are real and I hope it is editing that makes them look so horrible...let me have that hope otherwise I might have to become a pessimistic puddle.) TRL-- the place where they play 15 second clips of video.

On to the more pleasant--
I am still getting through Bandom BigBang which was so awesome that I am still sort of in awe of it all. There a a few stories I need to read, and a ton that I have to review. I am going to make a post of some of my favorites though. Later.
If you guys did not go and read The Hound, the one with werewolf Joe Trohman, you guys are missing out. I need to read it again to see the final version but the one I read contained vast amounts of awesome too. About that second fanmix---so you know I made it a track by track download---but if anyone wants the full *zip file I can do that now. My laptop and I have come to a temporary truce at the moment.
GUESS WHO IS RECCING IN JULY FOR BANDOM RECS!!!--
I have put some thought into this--the amount will make you guys call me a dork--but I am certain of the following topics: There Will Be Gen or as I like to call it 'We Don't have to take our clothes off!' and yes I know that is entirely cheesy and a Jon/Spencer rec post of epically biblical proportions. I think I want to do a post of fic that is different. You know featuring fic with darker themes; but I don't know what I would call it maybe like 'Let me Creep You out'. That leaves the fourth Sunday and I am still sort of wavering on that one. I don't want to only feature PATD fics so I am certain that there will be some FOB and MCR. I'm not even sure what order I want these lists to go in.
I am honestly thinking about making my One True Fic/Character/Pairing post into an expanded version and posting it to bandom recs. Hmmm...I'm not sure yet.
Obviously I am spinning in circles on this thing.
Real Life Stuff---
My hair is a sentient being and is staging a rebellion in the form of frizz and ridiculousness. Apparently, I have been giving myself a haircut over the past two weeks. It is weird. I was clipping my ends every other week and then my hand slipped and took off inches and now my hair is in some half-bob that actually looks decent. I don't know. I am an idiot at times.
