Elliot has been sampling superhero TV shows on Netflix, watching a Silver Surfer here, a Spiderman there, and then moving on. Right now he's watching The Hulk. I looked up from my book to see a green woman on the screen ( Read more... )

This morning, motivated by the inestimable copperbadge's awesome writeup project for all of Doctor Who ever -- specifically, the the twelfth season, with a brand new Tom Baker -- I started to watch "Robot" on YouTube. My kids showed an interest, and that is how I came to have the pleasure of watching "my" Doctor with my children for the first time ( Read more... )

Am I crazy to be so happy that the A-Team movie is cast and in production? I loved that show, even though it was pretty bad most of the time. I liked the characters. Murdock was my favorite. I had a sex dream about him and Face once. And that show had the crackiest crossover with Man From UNCLE. It was like fic. Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuriakin ( Read more... )

I saw this sticker on a Target shopping cart recently. Too little, too late, but I appreciate the effort.

After a good long walk/run up a hill on Monday, I was prevented from doing any more exercise this week by constant rain, a migraine, and a sick kiddo. But this morning I got up and worked out hard, and I'm basking in the glow of my own self righteousness ( Read more... )

I find myself sitting down to this farcical exercise, and I don't know why. This "blogging" is no more than muttering to oneself. My mind does not need to vomit onto a screen to think and keep order. I can only guess that I am making these notes as a reaction to events on Albian. My hands aren't shaking, my emotions are what they always are, and ( Read more... )

"Blogging" sounds like something Vila would do while intoxicated, and was no doubt coined by someone of his intelligence and literary taste ( Read more... )

As it is Sarah Connor Chronicles night, I will mention that rt_hon_rckman and I saw a Terminator the other day. After watching a parade at Magic Kingdom, we saw a tide of folks following the tail end. In that group, there was a tall, unsmiling man walking, doing a mechanical wave in imitation of some of the characters in the parade. rt_hon_rackman and I turned to each other ( Read more... )

To desdenova and m00nglum: you must go here and watch the clip titled "Giraffes!". I recommend it to anyone else who likes heavy metal and giraffes. Together. I'm going to go ahead and call it not safe for work, but not due to smut, just noise and juvenile content.

Since I haven't been literary for a few days, I was moved to do a mashup of two literary styles, as prompted by catechism and desdenova. See if you can guess which two I picked.
