Happy Birthday Zachary Quinto

...I love you with all my soul!

I don't really, I just think you're handsome and talented, which is good enough for most people.

I have realised today that the Sylar action figures were released into stores on Saturday, and I was too busy training my dog to remember to go out and get one, so I have to go now, and that's all there is to it. I have plans for this action figure - rather than keeping it in the packet like some collectables-obssessed loon I will take it OUT of the packet, place it in various positions with comedy props and then photograph them and post them on livejournal, like a Sylar-obssessed loon.

London! I am going to London on June 14th to see my friends, and it's going to be aces. Here are some things I'm going to do :

1. Buy some root beer from Cyber Candy because I'm down to my last can 
2. Go to a big geekfest Sci-Fi meetup and talk about geeky things all day.
3. Drink lots of beer
and one other thing which I haven't thought of yet, but it will be fabulous. 

Right, off to Forbidden Planet to pretend I'm buying the Sylar doll for my nephew who doesn't exist.

PS I saw Vampire Weekend last night and they were all kinds of awesomeness. My favourite song is Walcott, and they didn't play it, but then they came back on and played it, and it was transcendent.
