So I've been not updating in the past few days in a self induced guiltfest for saying that I would stay away from lj while writing my paper. But in true me fashion, I did nothing but faff around on lj and The One Wank all this week. But! I didn't post so, thats something right? However, now I've finished my 6 page paper on Jonathan Lethem's The Fortress of Solitude (which is a good book, but a bitch to analyze for a history class). And! I prepared and gave a speech on Genetically Modified Organisms (which might someday become a post, anyone want to hear about GMOs?). With al; that out of the way though, I'm done with school until Tuesday and I can use the internet and watch Buffy guilt free!

Er, moving away from my abuse of exclamation marks. I get all freaked out every time livejournal changes things. I think it will take me a bit to get used to looking at the new user info/friends list thing. But I like being able to tell my friends from the communities I have friended, so that's kind of cool I guess.

-The wank inspired what seems like ten million icons, if anyone's interested I made a few crappy semi-humorous, not work safe icons that are up here. All of the HEDS PASTEDE ON YAY variety.

Also, in case anyone hasn't seen these yet, I've got mpegs of JC's interview on the Wayne Brady Show today and of JC and Tony Singing Catch Me. Please right click and save, and don't direct link the files. A big thank you to [livejournal.com profile] eisakay for the files.

-I really really love this song. Just had to say that.

Hmm, well, I linked to it up there, but as it's at like 58 pages and 10,573 comments and counting I don't expect you to wade through all the spooge. So here's a condensed version. [livejournal.com profile] crystalgamgee made a post claiming to have the "original" of a picture of Dom and Billy. Original as in, straigh from the Wire Image photographer becasue apparently, she knows him. But her "original" was nothing but a crintout of a picture that [livejournal.com profile] almostnever had detagged a few months ago. Crystal got called on her lies and denied it, complete with anonymous comments from the "photographer" (whose name, incidentally, is not on google and is not listed as being a wire image photographer).

But the true wank lies in a series of "sketches" that crystal was selling on her website. She was claiming that all of her sketches were hand drawn without tracing or the use of any tools other than pencils and paper. But all of her sketches are photo-perfect to the point that they match exactly with the original photos they were based on. What the smart kids over at fandom_wank discovered was that crystal was photoshopping "sketches" and then taking credit for having hand drawn them, worse she was asking people to pay for them. Which is totally fraudulent.

The cliffs notes version of the wank, complete with links to all of her "sketches" is up here, and you really should read it jude, it's hilarious, the girl is completely insane. And it just kept getting better becasue we kept finding more and more lies. According to her, she'd met Elijah Wood and gotten him to sign a sketch and when she told him her website, he said, "You have got to be shitting me, I've been there, I love your site. I've read your work. It's brilliant!"

There is a metaquotes recap of each separate f_w page up at journalfen's metaquotes If you're at all interest I'd suggest reading the first few pages of those, there's some realy comedy gold, includeing the source of my icon.

Crystal had this picture in her photobucket account, she was using it as proof that Dom had been in her house.

The response from fandom_wank is on page 1 of metaquotes. copy/pasted:

mauralabingi: And wft is this supposed to be? "Dom came to my home and sprawled all over my bed, casual-like?"

iamtheenemy: Wow, Dom's got a bit of a gut in that pic. Also, an abnormally long torso.

shinigami_co: Not to mention the whole "MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON YAY" effect. He really should have that checked.
