and this autumn air reminds how things all slowly unwind

[enthusiastick]

Allow me a moment of meta-analysis:

When I originally conceived of Because Its Wednesday as a sort of feature for my livejournal, I didn't actually intend for it to be all about Wednesday White. The point was to pick an arbitrary day of the week, preferrably one on which people would be reading their LJ friends pages, and just write something for it, every week. The idea was to force myself to do something more than just a summary of my day-in day-out activities. Writing about Ms. White specifically was just sort of serendipity, but clearly it was serendipity that quickly got out of control.

I promise that I'll be returning to that original idea as I move forward. I can't promise there won't be more BIW columns that mention Ms. White, but not all of them will. Maybe not even most of them, we'll see. But some mention of W. White has to be made this week, because last week Eric admitted publicly in a snark that he and Wednesady are dating. (That's weds and demiurgent, for those of you people who are wholly LJ-centric and/or too lazy to follow an external link.) So if nothing else I have to say congratulations to the happy, geeky couple. With that out of the way, on to something other than my entirely dorky fandom of Wednesday and Eric...

Um...

How about some random thoughts about (relatively) famous people?

Is it wrong to be angry with Taye Diggs for having the unmitigated gall to marry Idina Menzel, who is clearly too beautiful for marriage, or at the very least ought to be married to me?

Pauley Perrette deserves better than NCIS. Not only is it a CBS television series (bleh!), but its supposed star is Mark effing Harmon, an actor known mostly for his role in the forgettable 80s movie Summer School.

Justin Long is a really underappreciated comedic actor.

I have to remember to buy the Demetri Martin stand-up CD, whenever it finally comes out.

And finally:

From a certain point of view Eminem is the ideal choice to play Spider Jerusalem in the movie adaptation of Transmetropolitan.

EDIT: OK, so they're not all going to be winners. Maybe I should start preparing these in advance. That was also in the original plan, but, y'know, laziness.

I will leave this one hanging out there:

Pauley Perrette v. Kari Byron (cute redhead from mythbusters) for my Impossible Crush award of 2005. Its getting down to the wire, and I need some help making a final decision.

I can only assume that heated debate will follow....

I vote for BlueGuy.

and I wasn't sleeping I was doing something that looked, smelled, felt, and tasted alot like sleep but had some arbitrarily different title. I was umm pugging.

I think in some capacity or other, you could/would find reasons to suggest that anything you might be doing at any particular given time qualifies as pugging. After all, you are clearly war_pug for a reason. :-)

And I think I will second BlueGuy, especially seeing as he is neither celebrity nor female, as far as we know. Steve/Pug(?) logic is fantastic.

Apropos of nothing, this LJ friend of mine has the exact same Zach Braff in Garden State icon you have (http://www.livejournal.com/users/azraelsdaisy/). And it throws me EVERY TIME she uses it, because she mostly seems to use it on her emo posts. So I'll be reading along about how lonely and restless she feels, or about adventures with her friends (who, like yours, are to me just a blur of LJ names I don't know), and I'll be all Has Eben mentioned this guy before? Oh well, let's see how the night ended, then she'll suddenly mention her boyfriend, and it always feels like hitting a brick wall as I think Wait, what the hell have I missed here? Since when does Eben have a… Oh, wait.

Someone else has a quirky Death-from-Sandman icon that's very similar to one of loopygirl's, and it generally catches me the same way.

They're not exactly the same, but I'll grant you their damn close. Virtually identical.

My friends page remains at that just-manageable size where I don't often have that problem. And when I do it generally has less to do with LJ icons, which are somewhat distinctive, and more to do with the color tags associated with their name.
