Well, I missed all but the fourth quarter of the Ravens/Jets game, but oh, was the Jets offense bad. But the worst was their last drive. They had a chance to get in field goal range and win the game, but blew it like rookies. I'll give them the failure of the second down-that Raven who drilled the receiver at the perfect moment to create an ( Read more... )

For absolutely unparalleled awesomeness, knit your own Wonder Woman sweaterI'm not a particular Wonder Woman fan. I wouldn't really wear this sweater unless I was going to a con in winter. And there is no way on earth that my knitting skills measure up for this sort of project. For all of that, I still covet this sweater. That's what a dose of pure ( Read more... )

Because I am spammy today, a meme ganked from yubsie, who ganked it from thepodsquad:

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Favorite character, favorite moment, unpopular opinion, something about a fic of mine... whatever. Subparts allowed. Wackiness ( Read more... )

You have got to be effing kidding me. This piece of objectifying, condescending, sexist garbage won not only Best Action but Audience Choice in Atom's SW Fan Film Challenge? Seriously? I don't care if it's a parody of those crappy Axe products or not. It's flat out, infuriatingly offensive. Screw you, Atom voters. And dream on. Because no, two hot ( Read more... )

My cats have a grudging affection for each other, but I think I really have two only cats here reluctantly sharing a household. Many of their interactions look a lot like this:

Quark: You're really stupid and if you weren't here all the food and toys would be MINE so you suck and I hate your guts.
Siri: Oh, dramatizeIn other news, unhappy though I ( Read more... )

Orlando. In August. Crap.

I give you New Moon In Fifteen Minutes, because cleolinda makes me giggle.

Also, Bella's birthday dress is way too pretty to waste on Bella, and pairing a flocked taffeta dress with Converse sneakers is just horrifying. Kids these days. :P

Edited to add brief and totally unrelated rant: Walt Whitman, Levi's jeans? Seriously? Could you get any more ( Read more... )

So io9 posted an article about the 30 most disturbing Twilight products, and, um, the crazy I posted about earlier? It's real. Not mass-produced, evidently, but still real. Oh, and Atty - your original question? It's answered in the io9 article. And considering the placement of the design, it's every bit as disturbing as the rest of the item. o_O ( Read more... )

You know, fandom is all about the crazy. It's the nature of the beast. I understand this. Sometimes I cheerfully participate it. Fun stuff, right?

Well, Twilight fans have shown a tendency to take the crazy a little farther than might be wise. We all know this. Remember the stalker Edward wall decal? And the felted Bella womb?

( This takes crazy to a whole new level. Click at your own risk. )

Okay, I do realize that the latest C5 rumors about Orlando are just that, rumors. But I just have to say: Orlando? In August? Seriously? I always wistfully hoped that maybe Phoenix would put in a bid to host a Celebration, then just as wistfully told myself that it would never happen; our heat in late spring or any part of summer would have people ( Read more... )
