I fell in love on the subway this morning, and she doesn't even know I'm alive. It was the conductor, who, as she announced my station stop, told the passengers to "have a happy women's history month -- celebrate yourselves and each other." That may be the most awesome morning subway ride I'll take all year.

Less than awesome: a slick subway ad, ( Read more... )

I feel as though my fannish interests are drifting further and further away from the LJ/DW zeitgeist, which makes me hesitant to post about the stuff I'm enjoying. So, as an experiment, I'm going to try to post in code to make my enthusiasms sound more relevant to everyone else's interests.

I've been catching up on The Secret Six Leverage and I'm ( Read more... )

Wow, I really should have taken this week off from work like 90% of my coworkers....

Obligatory Yuletide recs: Tell Me How This Ends and Cinderella, Made of Steel (both Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), The Amazing Adventures of Hat Guy and the Girl Who Stole His Hat (xkcd), and Fire, Measured By What Doesn't Burn (fairy tales [traditional ( Read more... )

Ugh, winter. I just spent close to a week in Florida (all work, no play) and come back to temperatures that keep dropping below freezing at night.

I feel guilty using one of my Sarah Connor icons when I haven't seen this week's episode yet, but I'm still recovering from last week's awesomeness. So instead I've been gorging on action vids tonight, ( Read more... )

So it looks like I'll be in San Francisco on election day, which means that I'll be voting early. I was looking forward to the experience of going to the polls this year, but it's also kind of cool going down to the Board of Elections office and casting an absentee ballot in person.

I did that four years ago, and it's one of those rare times where I ( Read more... )

A couple of links touching on Nielsen ratings, demographics, and gender:

( The CW, male soap opera viewers, and the construction of Latinos as a market )

Rumor has it that my show's back -- I haven't seen the season premiere of The Sarah Connor Chronicles yet, and I'm having trouble restraining myself from reading the episode actions, but! It's here! Between this and the final season of The Shield and the possibly final season of The Hills, it should be a good fall TV season -- and that's not even ( Read more... )

If my friendslist this weekend is anything to go by, 90% of people on LJ watch Doctor Who. There was much capslock squee to be heard, but I must caution that
Daleks speak in capslock ALL THE TIME. It had that special RTD hustle where the action seems to rush forward as perils mount, though in retrospect it's not really clear that much of anything ( Read more... )

Every time I click on the link to post a new entry, I get this tantalizing little pop up window asking me if I want to "restore from saved draft" which always makes me think that maybe I've already written a post and just need to publish it. Alas, it's always something I've already posted, which makes me think that my browser deems all of my LJ ( Read more... )

Via Mo Ryan, The Shield returns for its final season on September 2nd. *marks calendar*

If I was in the television business, I'd be busy developing a new series to showcase Mary McDonnell's talents after BSG wraps up. Man, can she act, even when the writing (as in, say, last week's episode) gets heavy-handed.

I'm worried that I'll soon be eating ( Read more... )
