so..much..pain!

[erastes]

You wouldn't think that a few spots would cause so much pain, would you? but. ARGH!

Can't concentrate, can't write - can't do nothing but refresh my flist endlessly and wait for people to ping me who don't.

However, I did find this - possibly one of the most homoerotic images I've seen. How this man (J C Leyendecker, I'm going to do an article on him on The Macaronis next week) got AWAY with this advert, I really don't know. One really doesn't know where to look for the subtext.



I was going to do a chat over at Speak Its Name today, due to Frost Fair being "released today" but it's all a bit of a damp squib. It's not on the Linden Bay site yet so I'll do a release party some time after release. *sigh*

At least there's lots of crap on TV. And does anyone know where I might be able to see Sunday's True Blood?? *worries*

Those men look like *they're* ready for a release party....


Blond shirtless man: Target acquired. Now to unlace the back of his trousers.

Brown-haired shirtless man: Pardon me, captain, I think this might be a better fit.

Blond: Whoa! I say, I've never seen one that big! I must demur to your superior firepower. Corporal! Drop trou!

Brunet: Captain, are you sure he swings that way?

Blond: If not, he'll come across once he sees what you're packing....

I know! There's so many stories in that one picture! And the slogan!

"There are lots of gay men in the navy! Join up!!"

And I thought I was the only one distracted this morning. Knowing you are as distracted and preoccupied with your flist as I is comforting in a very strange way.

My manuscripts are staring me down, begging for attention as I find everything from coffee to the cat getting in the way. I cannot write with the television on so am listening to Mozart at the moment.

That advertisment above has more subtext than all the words in one erotic fiction. It's style is remaniscent of Tom of Findland, except their "naughty bits" are clothed.

Congratulations on Frost Fair!!

Alright, one last cup of coffee then I simply MUST work on those manuscripts.

Cheers!

I have about five ideas for The Next Book and I just can't get started. God knows why, and it's scaring me.

I sent you what I was working on. And I'm sorry you're not feeling good. *Hugs*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun!

Oooh, look at this, and just in time for Transgressions! A new show--and John Simm is in it!

The Devil's Whore--An English Revolution

[erastes.livejournal.com]

oo yes - I'm really looking forward to this one!

[lee-rowan.livejournal.com]

Good lord. You can always count on the Navy, eh?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Certainly! *laughs*

[aliquoricegirl.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! When I saw that poster, I thought the same thing! This means it is totally homoerotic, not that I have gay goggles on, right?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think GG are not needed in the case!

Sadly, the USN during WW2 were notorious for locking up gay who enlisted. :( Neil Simon wrote his memoirs [Called Brighton Beach Memoirs, and then Biloxi Blues] and when he was enlisted in bootcamp, he got to know a young man who was arrested and imprisoned for being gay. --he suspected his one nerdy femme bunkmate of being gay, but he was wrong, it was the Southern man with more honor than any of them. :/ He learned a lesson that day.

Well they REALLY shouldn't have using posters like that, then!

*sings in the Navy*
Oh my, that's one hell of a missile! *snerk*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Isn't it great?

[melspenser.livejournal.com]

Makes me want to enlist. That is, if I wasn't so old.

I love the strings in the back of the pants. How convenient. Or would they be more convenient in the front? I need to ponder this some more...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

They must have some opening in the front as well-make you kind of WONDER why they have strings in the back, doesn't it??

:)

wow -thats such a BIG gun. Fully loaded as well. The slogan had me smiling- come across what?
What a find!

There's loads more of his stuff that's just as great - I'll link on the LJ when I do the post next week!
