Still friggin' sick!

What the hell is up with that!? Want it over, *now.*

In happier news, uh. Hmmm, well, I finally got around to burning three of the five CDs one of my buds loaned me *ages* ago. She's holding my NSync album - the first one - hostage until she gets hers back, so I've got motivation now. Just two more to go, lazy suck that I am.

I want to do some stuff today, but I'm lacking the energy. Want to write, and do graphics stuff, but I don't think that will happen. Instead, I'm going to do a little online shopping (woohoo!), and then trundle my ass back to bed. Wish I had some apple cider - I love hot cider when I'm ailing. *whimper* But I don't so I'll just be sick, ciderless and cranky. Waaaah!

Hmmm, I thought of something interesting, but now it's gone. I almost had an epiphany about Chris/Justin slash and a way to resolve my squicky feelings about it, but it slipped away before fully enlightening me. Ah, well.

VMA thoughts here...

First off, I want that huge-ass head that Missy Elliot used during her performance. That was the best monument-sized talking, blinking thing that I've seen, and the features were sooooo realistic. Now if I just had a mega-huge-ass house to put it in and about a half-million bucks to buy it...

I think I know what the deal was with the NSync performance. I'd already heard how *ahem* tame it was, and with the extra dancers, stupid MTV camera angles, etc., I wasn't surprised. I think what killed it was that there really wasn't an ending. Michael came out, did his little thing, the audience stood up, and...that was kinda it. I kept thinking that they were going to launch into one last "...wonder why, this music gets you high..." and Michael would groove with them. This didn't happen. So the performance had no real closure, and *that's* why it appeared to suck major weinies. I actually kinda liked it, even though I didn't see JC enough. When I *did* see my boy though, he looked pretty damn fine.

OH! And am I the only person who saw that his jeans were ripped not only down his thighs, but in back too, just under his ass??? Forbidden JC skin!!! Though seeing flashes of his flat little belly is almost more exciting, for some reason. I need screen caps of their first trip to the podium, when he bent over to slap hands with the people in the pit. I'm like, "his ass!" and the camera was gone. I have it on tape, but I don't know how to do the screen cap thing myself. *happy sigh* I love JC.

Christina Aguilera is finally eating some food! She looked *great*, her hair was sensible, she looked healthy, and she looked like she was having a good time. The Moulin Rouge girls are so cute together, except Mya seemed a little uncomfortable, maybe because she was so much taller than the others? Or something. Eve and Gwen Stefani were another cute girlsome, and made me smile at my TV screen.

Mandy Moore is about two feet taller than I thought she was, and Jessica Simpson is about two feet shorter than I thought she was. Isn't that weird? I thought JS was this tall, lanky thing, but she doesn't look any taller than maybe 5'3", 5'4".

Loved snarky Lance and JC commenting on thanking God, the fans and MTV. God, *please* can I have JC here in my house? I promise I'll feed him grilled cheese sandwiches and let him paint to his heart's content. I heart that boy like crazy. Lance is just plain sexy-cool and that's all there is to it. And he was dancing up a storm behind Justin when Justin was on the ramp. Actually *dancing*, not just moving. Lance looked damn fine, people. Lance is a bitch diva and I love him.

Overall the show was oddly-paced, and Jaime (Jamie?) Fox(x?) was a bad fit - I hope he's replaced next year. Wonder why they didn't have Carson do it? There's a petition I'd sign: Let Carson Host the VMAs! Hmmm, maybe I'll make a banner. :-)

Still sick, but feeling a little better!


7:50pm - Oh yeah, regarding His Wadeness: I swear, if I never see that guy or hear his name again it'll be too f*ckin' soon. And I sincerely hope that's the *LAST* friggin' time we have to hear that Wade danced in the video with/for Joey. Please let it be the last time. WadeSync. Jesus.

On another note, Wade's much taller than I thought. I really can't stand that guy. Hmmmm.
