A few random notes from the last few days...
- Dexter: I want to read an AU fic in which... hmm, how to write about this in a non-spoilery way? ... ah yes. I want to read a fic in which Dexter follows through on what he said in 2.11 to Doakes he was considering, and what Doakes was encouraging him to do. And I want Doakes to be there, and the two of them to (continue to) develop this strange almost-but-not-quite buddy relationship. Yes. I know. Deeply AU. But I so want to read that. (Did I mention I loved Dexter and Doakes to bits in season 2? *Almost* in a slashy way, even.)
- There are cat cafés in Japan. I need to move to Japan, clearly.
- Fennel is good. I didn't know that.
- A huge percentage of press articles about comics really do have titles like "Pow! Bang! Zap! Comics [grow up/go online/aren't just for kids anymore/get Japanese competition/aren't just for boys anymore/...]"
- Recent discussions about the DVD release of the latest Highlander movie on the one big HL list I'm still lurking on have demonstrated to me again that HL can be an extremely strange fandom. The fandom, including the list, was pretty unanimous in its hatred of the movie. Yet now everybody seems to be eager to buy the DVD. WTF, people? Stop buying crap that you recognise as crap, or the producers of said crap will *never* stop producing it!
I mean, I realise it's none of my business what other people do with their money. But, still. *shakes head*
- Since I mentioned cats above: Proof that the laws of nature only apply to cats in a very loose sense: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn9HgEPxO0M
- Actually tried restarting my social life, these past few days, meeting with a couple of friends and with my old jewellery making 'mentor'.
- My meeting with one of these friends showed me that I can only watch LoM series 2 in the company of extremely patient (and thoroughly spoiled) people, because I tend to rant at the screen now.
- I'm sick as a dog.
