Can we please stop making gay films where everything ends terribly?

At this point, I can think of exactly ... none where two gay people meet and end up Overcoming Hardship together. While I appreciate realism in movies*, how about dividing it evenly? I could do with a few romcoms ending in heartbreak.

*sometimes.**

So a lot of things have been happening. Also I am lazy, but you knew that already.
- I'm a russ this year, so this month has been spent doing things like fishing in drains using a stick and a shoelace and having lunch dates with lit candles in the cafeteria. Among other things. Err. I've got a lot of russ cards left, so if anyone wants one, just ( Read more... )

Diana Gabaldon has some opinions on fanfic.

I was going to write a rant about this, because reading that blog post made me simultaneously cry blood and spit acid. Her likening fanfic to "selling [her children] into white slavery" didn't really help either. (No, really. She actually said that.) The FW writeup has more links, including this fantastic ( Read more... )

So Reaper just got (officially) canceled. (For those of you who don't know, it's kind of like if Supernatural, if the main character was a male Betty Suarez.) WHY, ABC, WHY?

It pains me how (HORRIBLE, AWFUL, NO-GOOD) shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and The King of Queens managed to run for nine seasons each, while the ones that're actually good ( Read more... )

I picked up Kampen om ekteskapet og barnet by Nina Karin Monsen at the school library today. (That's The Battle for Marriage and the Child, fyi.) I'm on page ten, and I'm already trying not to throw up. The battle for marriage? Really? On what grounds, exactly?

1. Mercantilism is a bit like capitalism, but with more slaves and rum.

2. A Q-ball is a type of non-topological soliton.

3. We find out if we're up for any of the written exams on Thursday.

4. If you want to use a computer on your written exam, you need to fill out a form. By today. Five hours ago. No-one actually bothered to tell us.

5. Oh, and the ( Read more... )

So apparently Deadpool is in the Wolverine movie for all of five minutes before they ( SPOILERY SPOILER )

I find it kind of darkly amusing that some people can get behind waterboarding not being torture and at the same time go on about how once you make gay marriage legal, it's a slippery slope.

Also, apparently THE SWINE FLU IS COMING AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE, and I've realised that I need to read The Stand. (It makes me think about Pandemic, FOR  ( Read more... )

So Amazon hates gay people now.

It's just. I mean. NO. NO, YOU BLOODY TWATS. YOU TROLLS. YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER BASTARDS.

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.

So, in the spirit of justice and freedom of press and the fight against homophobia and such, I'm participating in a bit of googlebombing. (I'd make it sparkly, but I don't know how. :/)

Amazon Rank!

I don't want to hate on Rhianna. She's gotten beat up enough.

BUT. GODDAM DOES THIS SONG MAKE ME WANT TO SLAP HER IN THE FACE.
