oh man I got an actual cease-and-desist email from Comcast for torrenting last week's Game of Thrones

...so I'm just gonna switch to DDL, which doesn't have much of a history with that. It'll take a lot longer, but it's hard to make a vid when you're missing the last two tumultuous episodes.

(The twist here is that we actually have HBO now. I've ( Read more... )

Oh hey LJ! I have not posted in...sixteen days? Oh my. Um, probably this is because I am very active over at my tumblr, so if you have a tumblr and are desperate to see my every thought and interest, that is probably the place to go! If you do not have a tumblr, within a few years you will be as those who still use usenet, clinging to the days you ( Read more... )

So on tumblr I have been doing a liveblog of my reread-that-is-basically-a-read of The Hobbit! I did not post it here because bursts of sporadic posts do not really work as well on LJ. But I am pretty much done with it now, so I thought it would totally be a great idea to collect them all here in one post, right? Right!

Be advised that, due to how I ( Read more... )

So The Hawkeye Initiative is kind of one of the greatest things in all creation.

It is holiday tradition to put out a not-terribly-different-from-other-years message of thanks today, so! Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it, and have a good day if you don't. I'd tell the Thanksgiving people to also have a good day, but this day is notorious for not actually being so, so my wishes may be for naught.

I spend more time on ( Read more... )

LJ. Listen to me. I use Tumblr. I love Tumblr. I'll be the first to admit that it has problems--both in base concept and execution--but one of the things I have loved about it is that it lets you turn off one of the base concepts. I hate infinite scroll with a burning passion and I don't even have to struggle with a smartphone, but I can turn it ( Read more... )

This is a post that I have been seeing a lot lately, which is probably significant: hey, I post things on tumblr that I do not post here, and since the majority of you (as far as I know) do not have tumblr/do not follow me on tumblr, that makes me feel a bit guilty. A lot of it is just reblogs of fanart, sometimes with comments, which is not really ( Read more... )

Being on Tumblr has shown me many things! One of them is this orchestral version of Nyan Cat, which makes everything better forever and always. Another is, er, this orchestral mash-up of songs from Portal 2. And--okay, let's be honest, this is the internet, it is quite natural and proper for there to be an orchestral version of the Pokemon theme as ( Read more... )

So pretty much Advice Bornaby / Scumbag Barnaby / Ask Bornaby is one of the greatest memes that has ever existed.

(I think my favorite is "I BOUGHT A CD / BUT NOT YOUR CD", if only for its sheer simplicity.)

My dad asked me if all I did all day was look at gay porn, and I said no--at least 25% of my Tumblr likes feature characters who have all their clothes on--but then I remembered that I'd spent most of last night and the following morning reading a 134,000-word Natsume Yuujinchou smut-a-palooza, and, well.

I'm looking forward to going back to school ( Read more... )
