(no subject)

This is the most bizarre thing I have seen on the internet today: The Fart of War.

Although, Six outfits considered for Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor is quite a Thing, too.


My sweetcorns are cobbing! Er, does anyone know how you tell when they're ready to be picked and eaten?

We also have a mighty pumpkin growing, and another turning yellow/orange on the kitchen windowsill. However, these are long ovals rather than fat ones, and I'm not sure how to tell when to eat them. The one on the window sill was dark green when it was separated from its vine. They came with a highly informative little identifier to stick in the soil… well, it says, "Pumpkin", which is frightfully helpful, so there's no advice there.




And, on THAT subject… I'm torn between delight and disappointment. I mean, I've had Bye Bye Bye in my head all day, but—why so little? Exactly how much time did the guys have to rehearse? Because to omit *so much* of Nsync's output seems kinda odd, when the whole "this is Justin" thing went on for so long (and was, I must say, very well performed—what a marathon!).

It was never going to be the perfect reunion (because that would be a brand new song and the announcement of forthcoming album and tour, and I don't think we will ever get that), but it was… minimal.

The boys' Twitter accounts are worth a read—Lance has several comments, bless him, because Twitter is his natural medium, including a pic of him stealing Justin's award, which is also in the backstage pics linked by Justin. The others have all mentioned the show. Awww. *wuvs boys*.

I'm listening to Nsync on my iTunes tonight. First time in a long while.

Oooh, ooh, and joeysdramaqueen just linked to an *awesome* radio interview with Chris to which you must all listen AT ONCE and get teary, koff, and also this interview with JC. Everybody has remained the same.

I have to be honest, I'm still all overwhelmed. YEs, it was too little, but... but I never expected them to be on the same stage again, so it was... wow. Far more than what I expected.

And Justin thanked them. I honestly can't remember him doing that before. To hear him say that half the prize was really the guys's... that's when I started crying.

[pensnest]

I find my approval level of J Timberlake has gone up quite a bit, particularly after discovering that it was his idea to get them all together for this. I agree, his speech was *exactly* what we'd want him to say!

[luxshine]

yes! And I'm getting the feeling that no one expected. Hearing the interviews with the guys, it seems that even they were shocked when Justin not only acknowledged their days as a group but actually thanked them.

I am thinking maybe I can stop calling him 'the other guy' in my head.

I love that picture. ♥

It was a very short performance, but I did love Justin's speech. ♥ ♥ ♥

[pensnest]

It is an adorable picture. And I too loved Justin's speech. (His performance was pretty damn impressive, too.)

[sperrywink]

Thanks for the links to the radio interviews!

[pensnest]

They are excellent - enjoy!

[turlough]

Adorable boys!!

[copracat]

I miss them more than I realised. Dear men.

[ephemera]

I'm struggling a little with the change of media-type lack-of-fourth-wall thing, while adoring Lance's tweets like woah, but basically, the fact that that *happened* is making me all emotional ;)

[puszysty.livejournal.com]

It was short, but shit, after 11 years I will take what I can get!

Lance said this morning (in a recap I saw, I don't have a link sadly) they rehearsed over the last week.

[pensnest]

I guess we'd still be wanting more if they'd performed the entire PopOdyssey concert... (and I must say, I suspect that Giant Space Bulls would have been an improvement on Miley Cyrus).

I LOVE THIS PICTURE, and NOT just because it's a Bassez lovefest. *sigh*

[pensnest]

It is very adorable. I am quite pleased with Justin, right now!

THANK YOU for the Chris interview. Hearing him say that he and Justin talk like once a week/month did my heart so good.

[pensnest]

Both Chris and JC remarked that after two minutes all together, everyone's just the same as they used to be. Which makes me smile!

Thank you for the link to Chris' interview (which he did remarkably well considering he hadn't had any sleep yet!). It was quite lengthy and gave all kinds of behind-the-scenes details that I hope will inspire sparkly, sparkly dreams in those who are capable of writing MTYG stories.

[pensnest]

Chris does wonderful interviews, especially when he's good friends with the people interviewing him. Great stuff!

[brandywine28.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thanks for the interview links! Sticking a mic in front of Chris' face is always good for a bit of entertainment. People should really do it more often. :)

Also: pumpkins! Hooray!

[pensnest]

I love Chris in radio interviews. He's just *honest*, and rather sweet.

Thanks for voicing what's been on my mind ever since I read up on the VMA's. And the reason why I haven't dared watch the performance either. But I do absolutely adore that picture. ♥

And it's not like I got over my excitement about Kevin's return either. ♥♥

[pensnest]

I'm afraid I keep rearranging the Nsync part in my mind... and kinda wishing it had indeed been sprung on an unsuspecting world. But I spose we must take what we can get.

[adelate]

I love that Chris interview so much! I've sort of vaguely worried about Chris over the years, but he sounds good and happy and it makes me happy, too. :)
