that racism effects almost every part of my life I'm not kidding. Even something as seemingly innocuous as a film festival. There's a Noir Film festival happening in my city which I was almost pumped for until I saw the poster they're using:

Okay most of you know about my deep deep love for the female focused period film (Cousin Bette, Elizabeth, Vanity Fair, Dangerous Beauty, I love them all!) but another type of film that I adore is the female sports film. I went and saw Bring It On by myself in the theatre (and own it on DVD) and saw Blue Crush twice in the theatre (once by myself, ( Read more... )

Woke up sick yesterday so I'm basically a feverish achy ball of mucus (nice visual huh?) I feel like death so this will be a bullet point update for the most part ( Read more... )

A musing on my fandoms past and present. This doesn't include all my fandoms just the ones I could think of as I was writing. My meaning of fandom means something I was or am into deep enough that I've done research beyond the original medium.

GamingGaming and I have an odd relationship, colored by where I was living when I first ( Read more... )

Looking back through my flist I saw that frk_werewolf did two memes and tagged everyone whose username started with the C. I'm really bad with those truth/lie memes so I'm gonna do the music one and leave it at that.

Open your playlist, pick songs that start with each letter of your username, but, the songs have to mean something to you. Don't just ( Read more... )

So I dislike Ron Weasley, most who have discussed HP with me know this. Make note however this does not mean I don't like Rupert Grint, I actually like him a lot, so go and watch the preview for his new film.
