Whiskey Sour Wednesday

[hope-calaris.livejournal.com]

Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz whiskey
1 1/2 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz sugar syrup
maraschino cherry for garnish

Preparation:
Pour the bourbon, lemon juice, and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled sour glass.
Garnish with the cherry.

So now that we have the alcohol out of the way (I sadly don't have whiskey, but I'll drink hot cacao with crème de menthe later), on to the free for all post!

Unfortunately, blissfulmuseum had to step down as a mod, and we thank her for her work. Fear not, though, vic_amy_z has kindly agreed to become our new mod. Let's all say hello to her!

There's still one prompt left unclaimed for our Holiday Ficlet Fest. And how's everyone doing (or not doing since this is supposed to be anon ... which some of us fail at spectacularly not me) with it? Are your characters getting emo when they should cuddle? Do they cuddle when they should have sex? Are you even writing Franklin & Bash or did your muse decide that you desperately need to write a fix-it for Charles/Erik from X-Men: First Class right now?

We're done with our weekly rewatch of the show, which is depressing and we spent a lot of time bemoaning the fact that they only made ten episodes on Sunday. We still will have a weekly rewatch, though, we just didn't agree on what we want to see yet. Suggestions? Ideas? Tell us.

 But now that we all have refreshed our memory on what happens in season one, what are your whishes for season two? Personally, I hope for more hugs, more daddy!issues, more naked!everyone and if Ellen and Jared could get it on in some closet or so I'd be a happy camper. Just saying.

Thanks for stepping up as mod, vic_amy_z! 8)

Sorry again about jumping the gun in the other post, haha. My season 2 wishlist includes more Peter/Jared adorableness (perhaps a secret handshake?!), more Damien/Pindar interaction and more Damien/Hanna/Pindar asskicking, and I really want James van der Beek to come back!

I haven't started working on my holiday fest claim at all, because it's the end of term and I have to mark ALL THE PAPERS. Pro tip to anyone in first year university: if you don't know the answer, guess or leave it blank--do NOT fill it in with something "funny", because after 50 papers nothing is funny anymore and your prof will just be annoyed that you don't seem to take the process seriously. JUST SAYIN'. >:|
However, I do plan to write it over christmas and it will be done by the deadline!

Mmmm, whiskey sours. I usually like my whiskey neat or with a tiny bit of ice, but for sours I prefer a sour mix over making your own with lemon and syrup. Don't drink too many though--it'll wreck your throat and make your teeth soft.

dunno about you guys, but when F&B first finished, before I found this community, I was having major withdrawal symptoms and decided I needed a fix... so I watched as many episodes of Saved By The Bell as I could find on youtube, then had a Breckin Meyer movie marathon... (OK, so I only have Clueless, Garfield and Road Trip, but still...)

and I realised, Breckin Meyer is the only celebrity that I thought was cute/hot when I was at school who I still think is cute/hot now... all these years later :-P

anyway, if you were looking for something to watch that will give you some kind of F&B fix those would be an option...

oh, is it just me that finds it amusing that Janie has replaced the bottle blond high school drama icon of the late 80's/early 90's with the bottle blond high school drama icon of the late 90's/early 00's...

I'm amused by a lot of the similarities between MPG and JVDB if i'm honest... and can't help but wonder if they might have played a part in the casting of JVDB as Nathan.

sorry for rambling... I'll be quiet and go back to lurking now.

I'm not writing Franklin & Bash (outrageous) but deadlines inspired me so I'm confident I'll finish in time.
And for suggestions: CORPORATE AFFAIRS and DEAD MAN ON CAMPUS!!
I agree with more naked!everyone for season 2 and also more jealous!Jared.

What I would love is a rewatch of the director's cut of 54 XD But let's face it, chances of it ever actually being released on general sale are next to none :(

But things which are (hopefully) possible in F&B S2 are lots more hugs/couch-cuddling, more crazy Stanton and some solid back-story for everyone. (Are we ever told what Carmen was convicted for?)

Also, a little OT but I have a theory on the different high schools/Double D confusion. Not sure if anybody has said it but what if Jared started out at the same school as Peter but Leonard, being the douche that he can sometimes be, pulled Jared out and transferred him to High Tower so that Peter wouldn't 'drag him down'. But they remained friends because obviously their bromance is too strong to stop :p
