I'm seeing a lot of discussion that contrasts our brand of media fandom with sports fanaticism, and yes, I agree that there's a huge double standard there in so far as it's socially acceptable to paint one's face and chant ritualistically in public and on television, and that there are entire talk radio stations devoted to dissecting every aspect ( Read more... )

So, my mom got online on the cruise ship and started IM'ing me halfway through last night's SPN. I soon discovered she needed to use up all her internet minutes, since it was her last night and she didn't want to be wasting her money. She did this by delighting me with the most self-contained travel anecdotes ever. Maybe it was just the mood I was ( Read more... )

In a totally timely turn of events, YTV is having a Superman movie marathon today! I haven't seen these since I was 8! I don't know if I can sit through the extreme cheesiness of Superman 1 and 2 just to keep a tally of bits referenced in Buffy Season 8, but it'll be fun to try. And a good way to kill time before the Superbowl ( Read more... )

For the last 2 days at work, the only thing that has been working in my entire system is the internet. It's like they're forcing me to slack.

Am I the only one who didn't know that Annie Palicki and Alan Tudyk were together? Because I DID NOT KNOW THIS, but now I do. THANK YOU FANDOMSECRETS. If nothing else, you have brought me joy today!

Also, now I feel obligated to assure you that NOT ALL CANADIANS PEE DIRECTLY OUT OF THEIR CARS. Thank you, Taylor Kitsch, for that.

We do, however, all watch Hockey Night In Canada. Or we did until it got orphaned and lost its theme song. WOE.

I'm watching a horror movie set in Alaska, starring both Connie Britton and Zach Gilford.

You know, in case you wanted to know if such a thing exists. :)

Lappy has been given a full-on makeover! Even his case is new! And he's got a ton of useless HP shit loaded on him!

Also: FNL COMMENTARIES. I could not love Jesse and Annie more if I tried. I wouldn't know how to try. They just make me so happy! And they're hilarious together! And when they get to the dance scene they sort of accidentally start ( Read more... )

New layout! Rotating headers! Whee! hkath

22,000 words of my non-bigbang later and... it's nowhere near done. Maybe two thirds. Also, I should really talk to katjad about either sneaking myself onto the abouttwoboys list or, uh, ignoring it and playing dumb or something. Which it's probably too late to do after I spell out my stragegies like that, huh ( Read more... )

I see now why some of you are like, hell no, I ain't doing this. It's hard. No harder than figuring out what to say to you guys in Top Secret Valentinese, but hard enough.

Just ten out of the whole lot of you who 'make my day' (in no particular order):
