Perhaps now I will make myself catch up on things. Also, I need to apply myself to the disorganized heap of my bedroom. Also, apparently my brain is stuck in fourteen-year-old boy mode, so please forgive the dudes and totallys.

From Flickr: photo homages to the WWII "We Can Do It!" poster.

Somehow I've got to find a (super-cheap) easy reader version of The Hobbit by tomorrow evening. Like that 3-D pop-up version what-have-you. Don't fail me, library!

Things I've learned after jumping into the world of Avatar fic four years after the fact: 98% of the time, your ( Read more... )

Naturally a whole bunch of ST:XI and Penny/Sheldon fic would go up right as I need to walk out the door and then be away from the glorious internets for a weekend. I am not addicted. I will not go through withdrawal and the five stages of desperation and neediness.

I've been meaning to post a heads-up/link to selenak's Trek meta and the handful of ST: ( Read more... )

Conversations that will never happen, but should:
[1] Sheldon (TBBT) and Reid (three Ph.Ds; CM): Ph.D-off, go!
[2] Bill and Kim, Freaks & Geeks. Tell me you would not pay to see that one.

naeelah and I watched Pretty in Pink and the next-to-last episode of ST:TNG S3 last night while crafting. After watching the PiP extras, I'm a lot less averse to the ( Read more... )

Haven't gotten around to writing up the Ren Fest visit this weekend, or the other Team Awesome stuff (still), or about seeing Star Trek for the third time (and I would totally go again, just so you know).

Instead: I've mentioned that mekosuchinae is my #1 best crack dealer for ST:AOS/ST XI fic. Like this recent one, " The Fistbump is Non-Optional," where ( Read more... )

Nerdiest moment of the night: doing the ST:TNG version of fantasy football, figuring out which of the main crew we'd use as our Cha'DIch if we weren't using Picard; concluded Data would be best for actual combat, but Riker is "wily" and has experience (of all kinds) with Klingons.

naeelah, unless (1) I didn't watch it with you, (2) we skipped the disc, ( Read more... )

Food for Fannish Thoughts:

More from taraljc, " Warning: Unpopular Fannish Opinions Ahead; Shields to Max", on Uhura's presentation, and saying what I wish I'd said re:Amanda Grayson, and, uh, a certain pairing that's the biggest part of the nuTrek fic craving that's (possibly literally) eating my brain right now:

I think a big part of Uhura's role is, ( Read more... )

I know Kirk=Captain, but since this is officially Official AU canon, I would have loved it if they'd stuck with Captain Spock for a little longer. You'd still get Spock and Kirk balancing each other out, but that change-up would have been awesome and you know it.

Well, I was determined to find a bunch of caps for Star Trek ... and I did: 8579 ( Read more... )

Ooh! Ooh! Rob Epstein's 1984 Oscar-winning documentary The Times of Harvey Milk is up to watch on Hulu.

Neat-o: a giant cupcake tin.

Heh: Something Awful brings us Star Wars as Classic Art.
