I don't know what kind of a week you've had, but mine sucked balls at various moments that have really just kind of worn me out. Some parts were great (Skating Watch Party with bonus Johnny commentary! HoneyBadgeWeirs Beat the Bot! Fabulous picspam from Nationals plus awesome NBC promo!), but in between was so much random #epicfail, both in my own little world and in the world at large, that I've arrived at Friday in something of a shambles—sleep-deprived, seriously cranky, and in desperate need of a third addiction because the caffeine and chocolate are Just. Not. Cutting. It.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

(No. Surely you don't mean...?)

Yes.

Yes, I do.

It's time.

Time to grab an axe and smash the lock on the secret stockpile of Extremely Silly Emergency Picspam.

The following moments are all from the first day of HDOI rehearsal. In which, as you can see, Johnny was in a really, really good mood. And if these don't make you smile, you have no soul and might want to consider an exciting new career in politics.

(As always, please click any photo twice for full-size view. I love all these so much.)

Nominate Johnny Weir for a social media award in the Shorty Awards!

Hey, Johnny's been nominated for a Shorty Award!! You can join in on the nominating process by clicking here and tweeting your vote for Johnny. Most fans are voting for him in the "Athlete" category. 

Note: The Shorty Awards have very specific rules, which essentially boil down to this:

(1) You can only nominate him ONCE from each Twitter account that you have. Additional votes from the same account will NOT be counted. So it's one of those deals where we need a LOT of different people to vote, rather than a few people voting a lot.

(2) Your nominating tweet MUST include a reason (for example: "I nominate @JohnnyGWeir for a Shorty Award in #athlete because he inspires his fans to believe in themselves"--thanks @PatinaGlace!).

(3) You must NOT copy someone else's reason in your vote. 

All righty then.

The nominating period ends February 17--please vote vote vote!! For more info, click here.

*gets into position and starts to serenade Binky* "Have I told you lately that I love you"...

What a nice way to end such a...well...shitty week. Johnny in any way and shape always gets me smiling. I guess I have to include him and his lovely husband to the circle of people I would like to serenade also. With the same song.

Thanks for making this Friday a much better day than the rest of the week was. Thanks also to Davey.

Yours...#HoneybadgeWeir B.

This whole picspam makes me sing this song as I scroll through the pics over and over: Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur. (these are the Johnny pics) Happy kitty, Sleepy kitty,. Purr Purr Purr. (this is me after the Johnny pics.)

Binky, big hugs and warm cookies to soothe your sucky life! I know the feeling and wish I could hold your hand and knit you a sweater vest! Thanks for this happy purry moment tho!
