Sleepy Hollow on Monday fucking cracked me up. It's basically this horrible, cheesy, SyFy movie called Mandrake, starring my object of adoration, Max Martini. A monster made of sticks and vines and roots that bleeds and wants to kiiiiiiilllll you. (Seriously, the shit I'm willing to watch for this guy. I don't even know.)



Look out!

Although if they'd watched to the end of the movie they'd have known that an ax wouldn't solve the problem. You have to sacrifice a white person.

(And now I hear that Max is going to play the bodyguard of the sex fiend in Fifty Shades of Gray? I can't tell if he just has the worst agent in Hollywood or he has really bad taste himself. How does he go from Pacific Rim and Captain Phillips to shit like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie and Fifty Shades? Saving Private Ryan to Mandrake? Oh Max, I love you, man, but geez. At least we'll have Crisis starting up on NBC in January. That's...something.)

In other non-Mr. Peak Capacity Fancy Cocktails related stuff, I bought myself a birthday present yesterday by getting a new iPhone. I'd considered getting a different type of phone but I'm just so very down on anything Google-related lately and I despise the way they are forcing me to create Google+ identities for anything I want to do, so in the end I went with the 5s, and they didn't have any of the "gold" ones so I was getting a silver one just cuz it was my birthday. I don't normally like gold, but I really liked the champagne color that it really is, so I was kinda disappointed. While they were setting me up, the FedEx guy came in with some boxes, which contained two gold phones, so I think my sister's amazing karma was shining down on me then.

She always had things like that happen to her; it was one of those many things where I was like, How are we twins again? Because everyone who knows me knows that if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. But whenever we did things together, the planets aligned or something just because I was close to her. Birds suddenly appeared, stars fell down from the sky, all the boys in town followed her around, etc. etc. I miss her so much, and not just because she had amazing luck.

I must say the phone is screamingly fast compared against my old iPhone 4. I never thought I'd be a smartphone user, and resisted for such a long time, but now I can't imagine living without one. It has a thumbprint identifier. I don't really need a security protection, because I'm the only one around my phone, so I'll probably turn it off, but it works amazingly well. The new icons sure are a joke, though. Man, as soon as Steve dies, they make terrible design decisions.

Aw, yay! I'm glad the gold one showed up just for you. Your sister was saying happy birthday.

Oh wow, that's so cool that your phone arrived right at the right moment! A birthday present from your sister.

(I got a 5s too, but I got the smoke-grey because that's what they had in stock in 16GB, and it's probably the one I would have chosen anyway. I'm still just tickled by it, and I've named it my StarkPhone.)

Wishing you a very happy birthday!

Happy birthday :) I saw the notice on FB alerts but I just never go there and am just catching up here after a month or so of being swamped.
Hugs.

I sideeye his choices so much. I converted when I saw him in The Unit.

I just...I don't get it. At all. Part of me wants to go to some premiere event and tackle him and just tell him, Max, baby, we love you but you need an intervention. Oh well, I guess we'll always have The Unit and Numb3rs and Pacific Rim.

I just saw Max in something else and did a happy dance, except he was a bad guy. yet again. It must have been Republic of Doyle. Yes, he came back to play his not-so-reformed biker gang dude in a sort of odd remake of Midnight Run episode.

Hey, can I ask how you saw the episodes of Republic of Doyle? Because I can't find anyplace that carries it, and I see it sporadically showing up on a local channel but there's no rhyme or reason to it. I'd really love to see his episodes since it's one of the very few things of his I've never been able to get. (not that I necessarily want to see him play a biker gang dude, but I'm a completist, so.)
